SonicWall has experienced a cyber attack due to a remote code execution vulnerability affecting its Secure Mobile Access (SMA) appliances. These flaws impacted various SMA models and were exploited despite being patched four years ago. The flaw allowed remote threat actors to inject arbitrary commands and execute arbitrary code. This has been under active exploitation since at least January 2025 as confirmed by cybersecurity company Arctic Wolf and federal agencies. As a response to the attack, SonicWall has updated the security advisory and revised the CVSS score based on the newfound impacts.
