CISA has imposed its tightest three-day patching deadline on a critical Oracle vulnerability that was disclosed in January and quickly exploited in honeypots.
CISA has imposed its shortest patching deadline yet – three days – on a critical Oracle vulnerability rated 10 out of 10 for severity. The agency said it is finally time for US government bodies to plug the gap.
The flaw was disclosed in January, and honeypots were buzzing with exploit attempts soon after, according to The Register. The three-day deadline is the tightest CISA has issued.
Why this matters: The three-day deadline underscores the severity of the flaw and the urgency for US government agencies to patch.
What this means for you: If you use Oracle products, ensure patches are applied promptly to avoid exploitation.
