Risk Assessment Context:

Critical and high-severity vulnerabilities were assessed for their impact on the HySecure product. Based on our analysis, we have revised the severity of these vulnerabilities for HySecure deployments.

Severity Definitions:

  • Critical: Exploitable remotely with severe impact (RCE, privilege escalation)

  • High: High probability of exploitation or significant business impact

  • Medium: Exploitable under specific conditions; limited impact

  • Low: Low likelihood of exploitation; minor impact

  • Informational: No direct risk; potential hardening opportunities

 

Quick Reference for System Administrators

1. Do I Need to Take Action Today?

  • No - Continue normal operations

2. When Should I Schedule Updates?

3. How Do I Verify My Environment is Secure?

  • Check HySecure version: The HySecure version and status can be checked from the management console dashboard. Make sure you are on the latest version.

  • Verify firewall rules: Confirm if only the required ports are exposed

  • Review access logs: Look for unusual connection patterns

  • Validate configuration: Run standard security audit checklist

4. What Components Are Affected?

  • httpd (Apache Web Server) - Internal use, not externally exposed

  • Apache Tomcat - Not internet-facing in HySecure architecture

  • Python3.9, systemd, udisks2 - Internal components with minimal exposure
