The updates include the following:. To complement this new table, the existing DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities table in advanced hunting can be used to identify vulnerabilities in installed software on devices:. These new capabilities integrate with the existing threat and vulnerability management experience and are gradually rolling out. Cases where Log4j is packaged into an Uber-JAR or shaded are currently not discoverable, but support for discovery of these instances and other packaging methods is in development.
Support for macOS is also in progress and will roll out soon. Figure 1. Figure 2. Threat and vulnerability management dedicated CVE dashboard. Figure 3. Threat and vulnerability management finds exposed paths. Figure 4.
Threat and vulnerability management finds exposed devices based on vulnerable software and vulnerable files detected on disk. Note: Scan results may take some time to reach full coverage, and the number of discovered devices may be low at first but will grow as the scan reaches more devices. A regularly updated list of vulnerable products can be viewed in the Microsoft Defender portal with matching recommendations.
We will continue to review and update this list as new information becomes available. Through device discovery , unmanaged devices with products and services affected by the vulnerabilities are also surfaced so they can be onboarded and secured. Figure 5. Finding vulnerable applications and devices via software inventory. These new capabilities provide security teams with the following:. To use this feature, open the Exposed devices tab in the dedicated CVE dashboard and review the Mitigation status column.
Note that it may take a few hours for the updated mitigation status of a device to be reflected. The mitigation will be applied directly via the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint client. To view the mitigation options, click on the Mitigation options button in the Log4j dashboard :. You can choose to apply the mitigation to all exposed devices or select specific devices for which you would like to apply it.
To complete the process and apply the mitigation on devices, click Create mitigation action. Advance hunting can also surface affected software. This query looks for possibly vulnerable applications using the affected Log4j component.
Triage the results to determine applications and programs that may need to be patched and updated. With Inventory tools, there are two ways to determine exposure across hybrid and multi-cloud resources:.

Images are automatically scanned for vulnerabilities in three different use cases: when pushed to an Azure container registry, when pulled from an Azure container registry, and when container images are running on a Kubernetes cluster.
Additional information on supported scan triggers and Kubernetes clusters can be found here. Log4j binaries are discovered whether they are deployed via a package manager, copied to the image as stand-alone binaries, or included within a JAR Archive up to one level of nesting.
We will continue to follow up on any additional developments and will update our detection capabilities if any additional vulnerabilities are reported. To find vulnerable images across registries using the Azure portal, navigate to the Microsoft Defender for Cloud service under Azure Portal. Open the Container Registry images should have vulnerability findings resolved recommendation and search findings for the relevant CVEs.
Finding images with the CVE vulnerability. To view only vulnerable images that are currently running on a Kubernetes cluster using the Azure portal, navigate to the Microsoft Defender for Cloud service under Azure Portal. Open the Vulnerabilities in running container images should be remediated powered by Qualys recommendation and search findings for the relevant CVEs:.
Finding running images with the CVE vulnerability. Note: This recommendation requires clusters to run Microsoft Defender security profile to provide visibility on running images. Azure Resource Graph ARG provides instant access to resource information across cloud environments with robust filtering, grouping, and sorting capabilities. ARG provides another way to query resource data for resources found to be affected by the Log4j vulnerability. The following query finds resources affected by the Log4j vulnerability across subscriptions.
Use the additional data field across all returned results to obtain details on vulnerable resources:. Microsoft Sentinel customers can use the following detection query to look for devices that have applications with the vulnerability:. The latest one with links to previous articles can be found here.
Both Community users and enterprise customers can search within the threat intelligence portal for data about potentially vulnerable components exposed to the Internet. Leverage this method of exploration to aid in understanding the larger Internet exposure, while also filtering down to what may impact you. For a more automated method, registered users can view their attack surface to understand tailored findings associated with their organization.
Note, you must be registered with a corporate email and the automated attack surface will be limited. Digital Footprint customers can immediately understand what may be vulnerable and act swiftly and resolutely using the Attack Surface Intelligence Dashboard Log4J Insights tab. Microsoft Defender coordinates multiple security solutions that detect components of observed attacks taking advantage of this vulnerability, from exploitation attempts to remote code execution and post-exploitation activity.
Microsoft Defender solutions protect against related threats. Customers can click Need help? Turn on cloud-delivered protection in Microsoft Defender Antivirus to cover rapidly evolving attacker tools and techniques. Cloud-based machine learning protections block the majority of new and unknown variants.
Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects components and behaviors related to this threat as the following detection names:. Users of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can turn on the following attack surface reduction rule to block or audit some observed activity associated with this threat.
Due to the broad network exploitation nature of vectors through which this vulnerability can be exploited and the fact that applying mitigations holistically across large environments will take time, we encourage defenders to look for signs of post-exploitation rather than fully relying on prevention. Observed post exploitation activity such as coin mining, lateral movement, and Cobalt Strike are detected with behavior-based detections. Alerts with the following titles in the Security Center indicate threat activity related to exploitation of the Log4j vulnerability on your network and should be immediately investigated and remediated.
These alerts are supported on both Windows and Linux platforms:. The following alerts detect activities that have been observed in attacks that utilize at least one of the Log4j vulnerabilities.
However, these alerts can also indicate activity that is not related to the vulnerability. We are listing them here, as it is highly recommended that they are triaged and remediated immediately given their severity and the potential that they could be related to Log4j exploitation:.
Some of the alerts mentioned above utilize the enhanced network inspection capabilities in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
These alerts correlate several network and endpoint signals into high-confidence detection of successful exploitation, as well as providing detailed evidence artifacts valuable for triage and investigation of detected activities. Example detection leveraging network inspection provides details about the Java class returned following successful exploitation. Microsoft Defender detects exploitation patterns in different data sources, including cloud application traffic reported by Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
The following alert surfaces exploitation attempts via cloud applications that use vulnerable Log4j components:. To add a layer of protection against exploits that may be delivered via email, Microsoft Defender for Office flags suspicious emails e.
We also added the following new alert, which detects attempts to exploit CVE through email headers:. Sample alert on malicious sender display name found in email correspondence. This is different compared to more prominent tools like Wireshark. You also don't have to install WinPcap first.
Another thing I like is that you can analyze multiple networks simultaneously if you have more than one network card installed. You can even run multiple simultaneous capture sessions. The output of the tool is clearly arranged and easy-to-read. Network Monitor 3. Applying a filter is very easy. To display only packets which belong to a certain protocol, you just have to type the protocol name. There are lots of predefined filters for a more complex analysis. Network Monitor loads the corresponding commands in the filter window where you can edit them to create your own filter.
Advanced users can write their own protocol parser. This feature is probably only for developers, though. Parsers for most important protocols are already included. The Beta 2 of Network Monitor 3. If you need this, you should get Wireshark or Omnipeek. Both tools are more powerful than Network Monitor.
In my view, however, they are too complex for the average administrator. My favourite network analyzing tool is still Smartsniff , though. It is as easy to use as Network Monitor. Its advantage is that it is a stand-alone-application. Thus, you can run it from an USB stick without installing it. Subscribe to 4sysops newsletter! We are looking for new authors.
