CISA adds bugs in Android and Novi Survey to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog

US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added Android and Novi Survey flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added the following five new issues to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog:

• CVE-2023-20963 – Android Framework Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. Android Framework contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows for privilege escalation after updating an app to a higher Target SDK with no additional execution privileges needed;
• CVE-2023-29492 – Novi Survey Insecure Deserialization Vulnerability. Novi Survey contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute code on the server in the context of the service account;

Google addressed the vulnerability CVE-2023-20963 with the release of “The Android Security Bulletin—March 2023” security updates. The bulletin confirmed that “there are indications that CVE-2023-20963 may be under limited, targeted exploitation.”

According to Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.

Experts recommend also private organizations review the Catalog and address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.

CISA orders federal agencies to fix this flaw by May 4, 2023.
