Navigating the Maintenance Dashboard

When you access the Maintenance Dashboard within the CMC app, your attention is immediately drawn to the informative card displaying details about the "next maintenance window" scheduled for your deployment within the next 30 days. This card appears only if you have a Splunk-initiated maintenance planned within a month. It provides valuable information such as the Maintenance Type, Maintenance ID, scheduled start time, and a status progress timeline, offering daily updates on the status of your maintenance window. For a more comprehensive view, the bottom section of the Maintenance Dashboard features a table that includes additional details about the operation types (e.g., Splunk upgrades, App upgrades) involved for each maintenance window. By default, the table is filtered to show all upcoming maintenance activities within the next 30 days, including the "next maintenance window."

In this screenshot we see the informational card about the “next maintenance window” as well as the table filtered to show all upcoming maintenance.

Each row of the table provides detailed information about a specific maintenance window including exact/estimated start time, status, duration, timestamp of when the record was last updated as well as number of operations that Splunk plans to perform within that Maintenance window. Each row comes with a convenient side panel displaying the details of the operations planned, with the option to switch tabs and view the status progress timeline. This ensures you have all the necessary information at your fingertips to share with your end users. The table filter allows you to choose whether you want to view upcoming, past, or all maintenance windows. When filtering the table by upcoming maintenance, the windows are sorted in chronological order, ensuring the nearest maintenance window appears at the forefront for easy reference.

In this screenshot you can see the table filtered to show all the past maintenance windows. It also displays a side panel where you can audit the various states of a Maintenance window completed in the past.

SmartScreen Vulnerability: CVE-2024-21412 Facts and Fixes

-

On Feb. 13, 2024, Microsoft issued a  patch  for CVE-2024-21412, a  Microsoft Defender SmartScreen  vulnerability revolving around internet shortcuts. Previously, we discovered that an advanced persistent threat (APT) group we track under the name Water Hydra has been exploiting CVE-2024-21412 in a sophisticated campaign targeting financial market traders, allowing the group to bypass Microsoft Defender SmartScreen and infect its victims with the DarkMe remote access trojan (RAT). Threat actors are constantly finding new ways of identifying and exploiting gaps to bypass security measures. We found that the bypass of CVE-2023-36025 (a previously patched SmartScreen vulnerability) led to the discovery and exploitation of CVE-2024-21412. This highlights how threat actors can circumvent patches by identifying new vectors of attack around a patched software component. It is important that organizations are able to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, especially zero-days, in a timely mann
