IT managers should proactively block all incoming traffic-from outside the agency network-directed toward a system or enclave where “ any version of SolarWinds Orion software has been installed,” CISA said. “Affected entities should expect further communications from CISA and await guidance before rebuilding from trusted sources utilizing the latest version of the product available.”

“Until such time as CISA directs affected entities to rebuild the Windows operating system and reinstall the SolarWinds software package, agencies are prohibited from (re)joining the Windows host OS to the enterprise domain,” the directive states. The directive is not optional and instructs agencies to leave the products disconnected from agency networks for the foreseeable future. The directive only applies to civilian agencies, as CISA does not have authority over the Defense Department or intelligence agencies. In the emergency directive-only the fifth in the agency’s history-CISA officials are requiring federal agencies identify instances of the SolarWinds software in their systems and “immediately disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products” by noon Monday, the alert states. However, federal agencies are instructed not to install-or reinstall-any instances of SolarWinds Orion until cleared by CISA, per an emergency directive issued late Sunday.

On its site, the company issued an advisory urging clients to update to the latest version of the Orion software, 2020.2.1 HF 1, available through the customer portal. The attacks targeted Orion software versions 2019.4 HF 5 through 2020.2.1-the versions released between March 2020 and June 2020. Early reports suggest hackers working for the Russian government were involved in the breaches. News broke over the weekend that officials at CISA and the FBI were investigating breaches at two of the largest federal agencies-the Commerce and Treasury departments-related to a flaw in the SolarWinds Orion software.

All agencies operating SolarWinds products should provide a completion report to CISA by 12pm Eastern Standard Time on Monday December 14, 2020.The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ordered all government departments by noon Monday to identify and shut off instances of SolarWinds Orion software running or connected to any government system, as agencies scrambled to mitigate potential damage from a critical vulnerability in software used by a huge swath of the federal government and military. This is the fifth Emergency Directive issued by CISA under the authorities granted by Congress in the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. “Tonight’s directive is intended to mitigate potential compromises within federal civilian networks, and we urge all our partners-in the public and private sectors-to assess their exposure to this compromise and to secure their networks against any exploitation.” “The compromise of SolarWinds’ Orion Network Management Products poses unacceptable risks to the security of federal networks,” said CISA Acting Director Brandon Wales. This Emergency Directive calls on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks for indicators of compromise and disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products immediately. WASHINGTON – The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) tonight issued Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a known compromise involving SolarWinds Orion products that are currently being exploited by malicious actors.
