The release of a tool by Microsoft comes as the attacks on Exchange services, believed to be undertaken by Chinese state-sponsored actors, continue to increase. “This tool is not a replacement for the Exchange security update but is the fastest and easiest way to mitigate the highest risks to internet-connected, on-premises Exchange Servers prior to patching,” Microsoft explained. Those who download the tool, which includes the latest Microsoft Safety Scanner, will automatically mitigate the vulnerability named CVE-2021-26855 on any Exchange server on which it is deployed.
