Vulners.com team have recently presented a new version of vulnerability intelligence bot for Telegram messenger. Now you can search for vulnerabilities and other security content by talking with bot.

For example, I’ve heard about new critical vulnerability in Samba called SambaCry by analogy with famous WannaCry. Let’s see what Vulners knows about it.

Ok, I see it has id CVE-2017-7494. Do we have exploits related to this vulnerability?

cvelist:CVE-2017-7494 AND bulletinFamily:”exploit”

Even in Metasploit! Seems to be critical. Do we already have patches for CentOS 6 and 7?

cvelist:CVE-2017-7494 AND type:centos

Yep, we can now make a task to IT department to update it.

NB: Did you know that critical patches for CentOS 5 were available till the March 31 2017? CentOS 5 is officially dead and if you still use it you should migrate to supported distribution ASAP.

Can we already detect this vulnerability using vulnerability scanners?

cvelist:CVE-2017-7494 AND bulletinFamily:”scanner” AND title:CentOS

Two authenticated checks for Nessus. Not bad. If you have configured regular vulnerability scans of your infrastructure, you can get the list of vulnerable hosts from the existing scan results. Or you can perform a new scan task with only this two active plugins in the scan policy.

However, this vulnerability is interesting and I would like to get new information about it as soon as it will be available in Vulners. I want to subscribe to cvelist:CVE-2017-7494 OR SambaCry. Checking the request:

So if some really critical vulnerability will appear, I will easily get actual information from them.
