NAITS warns of 'Vipere' tool targeting Windows and Visual Studio

ISC alerts on Vipere toolkit

The Information Security Center (ISC) at the National Authority for Information Technology Services (NAITS) issued a warning about a toolkit called "Vipere" that can exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio products to perform malicious actions and evade security controls. The ISC recommended keeping systems and development tools up to date, avoiding installation of programs and libraries from untrusted sources, and enabling advanced security features on devices to mitigate risks.

The ISC said it contributes to protecting institutions and national digital infrastructure through information-security strategies, data protection, incident response and awareness efforts. NAITS, affiliated with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, is responsible for digital transformation, electronic certification, information security and internet domain services — as reported by SANA
