CVE-2022-41082 is a critical software vulnerability discovered in Microsoft Exchange Servers, which allows for Remote Code Execution (RCE). This flaw is one of two zero-day vulnerabilities found, the other being CVE-2022-41040. The RCE vulnerability presents a significant threat as it enables attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system remotely, potentially gaining unauthorized access or control. Check Point IPS has since provided protection against these threats, including the Server-Side Request Forgery (CVE-2022-41080) and this RCE vulnerability. This vulnerability, CVE-2022-41082, was initially disclosed as a zero-day flaw in September last year, with a patch released by Microsoft in November. However, it has been revealed that the current vulnerability is actually a bypass of the initial fix, implying that the original patch did not fully address the issue. This represents a significant concern as systems believed to be secured could still be at risk from this bypassed vulnerability. Moreover, the vulnerability also bypasses another previously fixed vulnerability, CVE-2023-21529, which was patched in February. This indicates a pattern of persistent flaws within the Microsoft Exchange Servers' security infrastructure. The recurrence of these vulnerabilities underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and updating of security measures, even after patches have been applied. It also highlights the necessity for businesses using these servers to stay vigilant and ensure they have the latest protections installed to guard against such threats.
