SonicWall is investigating a potential new zero-day after a surge in Akira ransomware attacks targeting Gen 7 firewalls with SSLVPN enabled. The company is working to determine if the incidents stem from an existing flaw or a newly discovered vulnerability.

“Over the past 72 hours, there has been a notable increase in both internally and externally reported cyber incidents involving Gen 7 SonicWall firewalls where SSLVPN is enabled,” reads the statement published by the vendor. This includes threat activity highlighted by third-party cybersecurity research teams such as:

  • Arctic Wolf
  • Google Mandiant
  • Huntress

SonicWall is actively investigating, collaborating with external threat researchers, and keeping partners and customers informed. The vendor announced it will release fixes if a new vulnerability is confirmed.
