🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check CloudTest version in administration interface or configuration files. If version is earlier than 60 2025.06.09 (12989), the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check CloudTest web interface or configuration files for version information. No universal CLI command exists.Verify Fix Applied:
Confirm CloudTest version is 60 2025.06.09 (12989) or later in the administration interface.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from CloudTest servers
- Requests to internal IP addresses or unusual domains
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected outbound connections from CloudTest servers to internal services
- Patterns of requests to metadata services (169.254.169.254, etc.)
SIEM Query:
source="cloudtest" AND (dest_ip IN internal_ranges OR dest_ip=169.254.169.254)
