Community Announcements

1. What did SailPoint announce on Jan 12, 2023? 

SailPoint announced it has acquired SecZetta, an early-stage identity company that helps organizations manage non-employee identities.

2. Who is SecZetta and what do they do?

SecZetta provides non-employee identity risk solutions that are easy to use, and purpose built to help organizations execute risk-based identity security strategies for non-employees. With SecZetta, organizations can discover, manage, and secure non-employee identities in a collaborative and consistent manner, from both internal and external sources, throughout the lifecycle of their non-employee population.

3. Why did SailPoint decide to acquire SecZetta? 

Organizations today are managing a wide range of identities beyond employees.  Partners, seasonal workers, and vendors now make up a large percentage of a company’s workforce and managing their identities is complex.  Because of this, organizations are looking for a solution that can bring all these critical identities under control.  

SailPoint + SecZetta gives organizations access to a powerful identity security solution that extends advanced governance controls to large and complex populations of non-employee users deep into applications like ServiceNow and Salesforce. By leveraging our advanced AI functionality organizations can ensure that applications and data are secure by granting access to only the right identities at the right time, no matter if they are employees or non-employees like partners, temporary workers, software bots or contractors.

4. How does this acquisition of SecZetta relate to SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud? 

The traditional approach to managing employees' identities in one system and non-employee identities through a separate system or even manually is no longer enough.  Businesses need a solution for managing and identifying the full universe of identities that touch the organization, including non-employee identities and their relationships to other identities. 

Leveraging the integration between SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and SecZetta, customers can easily manage the simplest to the most complex scenarios when it comes to non-employee identities the same way they are currently managing employee identities.

5. What products does SecZetta currently have?

SecZetta currently offers the following solutions:

• Third-Party Identity Lifecycle Management– base solution that includes Process Orchestration, Relationship & Personal Management, Risk Scoring, & Collaboration for third-party identities
• Identity Consolidation - enables organizations to simplify their Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) efforts by merging and organizing people data from many different sources such as disparate HR systems or other authoritative repositories, establishing, and maintaining master identities in a centralized repository.
• Identity Proofing - enables organizations to invoke large scale or individual identity verification during the onboarding process or at any time throughout the third-party identity lifecycle

6. When will the new offering based on this acquisition be available and how will it be packaged and priced?

The team is currently working on the packaging and pricing plan. More information will be shared in the coming weeks. 

7. How is what SailPoint offers for a non-employee lifecycle management (NELM) solution different from what this acquisition will provide?

Our current NELM solution performs requests and approvals for the management of non-employee (human only) identities and acts as a repository for these identities. Combined with SecZetta, we will offer a robust set of capabilities to manage and govern non-employee identities (human and non-human). More information will be shared soon.

8. I’m a SecZetta customer. Where can I go for support if I’m in the middle of a project and have questions?  

During this transition, for those customers in the middle of a project and in need of support, please reach out to Chris Thomas and/or Tina Timmerman.

Potentially Impacted Products: IdentityNow (IDN), IdentityAI (IAI), and IDN Virtual Appliance (VA)

SailPoint has reviewed the currently available information on the recently announced OpenSSL vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-3786 and CVE-2022-3602) and determined that some SailPoint products use versions of OpenSSL that are impacted by these vulnerabilities.

Exploiting these 2 vulnerabilities requires that applications continue certificate validation despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer or for the Certificate Authority (CA) to have signed a malicious certificate, neither of which is applicable to IDN, IAI, or the VA, unless customers configure their client authentication to continue certificate validation despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. Out of an abundance of caution, all SailPoint products that use a vulnerable version of OpenSSL 3.0.x are targeted to be upgraded to use OpenSSL 3.0.7 within the SailPoint-established SLAs for high severity vulnerabilities.

Other SailPoint products such as IdentityIQ, Cloud Access Manager, File Access Manager, Access Risk Management, and SaaS Management are not impacted.

Every day we become more heartbroken as the war in Ukraine continues. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people and with our partners and employees who work in the region, or have family and friends affected by the senseless violence. 

I want to update you on some of the things SailPoint has done from the beginning to show our support. 

SailPoint contractors in the region are not required to work, but will continue to receive their salary, and are encouraged to focus on their family and friends. 

To support the global humanitarian response, SailPoint will match employee donations 1:1 through the SailPoint Gives Back Foundation. Funds will be distributed to the Red Cross for the crisis in Ukraine. 

Please continue to reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions. We understand that those who are geographically closer to the war may have greater feelings of despair. We are here to listen and help in any way we can. 

Impacted Products: None

SailPoint has reviewed the currently available information on the Spring Framework RCE vulnerability (CVE-2022-22965), also referred to as Spring4Shell, and determined that SailPoint products are not impacted by this vulnerability. Some of SailPoint products use Spring Framework, however the other necessary conditions to exploit this vulnerability aren't present. Those products will upgrade to a Spring Framework version that isn't impacted by this vulnerability in the near future.

Impacted Products: IdentityIQ (IIQ), File Access Manager (FAM), and Identity Now Cloud Connector Gateway (IDN CCG) deployments where customers have modified out of the box log4j2 configuration to use a JDBC Appender with a data source referencing a JNDI URI.

SailPoint has upgraded all impacted products to Log4J 2.17.1 which addresses the most recent Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2021-44832) and all previously identified Log4J vulnerabilities. For more information on individual product upgrades, refer to the Identity IQ blog post and the File Access Manager blog post.

Please subscribe to the product-specific blogs for future security and other important announcements related to the individual products.

Impacted Products: IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityNow Cloud Connector Gateway deployments where customers have modified out of the box log4j2 configuration to use a JDBC Appender with a data source referencing a JNDI URI.

SailPoint has analyzed the recently-identified Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2021-44832) and has determined that since SailPoint products, other than instances of IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityNow Cloud Connector Gateway where the customer has made certain modifications to the default Log4j configuration, do not use the JDBC Appender and are not impacted by this vulnerability. 

IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityNow Cloud Connector Gateway do not use the JDBC Appender out of the box, however customers have the ability to modify the out of the box appenders in log4j2.properties which might render them susceptible to this vulnerability. As documented in the CVE and guidance from the Apache Logging Services Project, JNDI URIs should not be used in the data source configuration for a JDBC Appender as a mitigation for this vulnerability. 

SailPoint plans to upgrade IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityNow Cloud Connector Gateway to Log4J 2.17.1 in January 2022.

Impacted Products: IdentityIQ and File Access Manager deployments where customers have modified out of the box log4j2 configuration to allow context lookups

SailPoint has analyzed the recently-identified DoS vulnerability in Log4J (CVE-2021-45105) and has determined that since SailPoint products, other than instances of IdentityIQ and File Access Manager where the customer has made certain modifications discussed in the next sentence, do not allow context lookups, this vulnerability does not impact SailPoint products.

IdentityIQ and File Access Manager do not use context lookups out of the box, however customers have the ability to modify the out of the box pattern layouts in log4j2.properties to use context lookups which might render them susceptible to this vulnerability. As documented in the CVE and guidance from the Apache Logging Services Project, context lookups using the pattern ${ctx: should be removed or replaced with Thread Context Map patterns (%X, %mdc, or %MDC).  

SailPoint plans to upgrade IdentityIQ and File Access Manager to Log4J 2.17.0 in January 2022. 

Impacted Products: IdentityIQ and File Access Manager deployments where customers have modified out of the box pattern layouts in log4j2.properties.

SailPoint is aware of the recently-identified DoS vulnerability in Log4J (CVE-2021-45105) and have reviewed the vulnerability information provided by the Apache Logging Services Project. Based on our initial analysis, we do not believe this vulnerability impacts SailPoint products, with the exception of IdentityIQ or File Access Manager customers that have modified the out of the box pattern layouts in log4j2.properties to include the tokens identified in the CVE.

We will continue to analyze this issue and provide further guidance in the next few days.

Impacted products: IdentityAI

SailPoint has deployed the latest release of IdentityIQ harvester for IdentityAI which addresses the Log4J Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046) by upgrading to Log4J 2.16.0. No action is needed.

Impacted products: IdentityNow, IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityAI

Update

These security fixes have been superseded by updates to Log4j 2.17.1 for the following products:

• IdentityIQ
• File Access Manager
  

SailPoint has addressed the Log4J RCE and DoS vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046) by upgrading to Log4J 2.16.0.

IdentityIQ and File Access Manager customers can refer to latest IdentityIQ and File Access Manager blog posts for instructions on how to deploy the latest releases. IdentityIQ harvester is still being upgraded, and we expect the upgrade to be deployed later today (Friday, December 17, Central Time).  We will issue further communications once the updated IdentityIQ harvester has been deployed. 

IdentityNow and IdentityAI have also upgraded to Log4J 2.16.0 and Cloud Connector Gateway (CCG) version 658 has been automatically deployed. For customers who have not received the automatic CCG update, SailPoint customer service is reaching out in order to upgrade those instances.  The CCG version is visible to customer admins in the IdentityNow UI.

Impacted products: IdentityNow, IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityAI

SailPoint has mitigated the Log4J RCE vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) in all impacted products per the recommendations provided by the Apache Logging Services Project. We are aware of newly-released analysis stating that the previously-provided recommendation does not fully mitigate the RCE vulnerability. We are also aware of the recently-identified Log4J DoS vulnerability (CVE-2021-45046) that is applicable to the impacted products.

We are actively working on fully addressing both vulnerabilities by upgrading to Log4J 2.16.0. We expect product releases that include the updated library to be available by the end of day (CST) Friday 12/17/2021.

We will be issuing further communications once new releases are available. No action is needed at this time.

Impacted products: IdentityNow, IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityAI

SailPoint has fully mitigated the Log4J RCE vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) in all impacted products.

We are aware of the recently-identified Log4J DoS vulnerability (CVE-2021-45046) that is also applicable to the impacted products. While this new DoS vulnerability has a low severity (CVSS score of 3.7 per NVD), we are actively working on addressing this vulnerability by upgrading to Log4J 2.16.0 and expect product releases that include the updated library to be available in the coming days.

We will be issuing further communications once this issue has been addressed. No action is needed at this time.

Impacted products: IdentityNow, IdentityIQ, File Access Manager, and IdentityAI

SailPoint is aware of the recently-identified log4j DoS vulnerability (CVE-2021-45046) that is related to the log4j critical RCE vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228). We are actively investigating the impact of that vulnerability, however preliminary analysis using information provided by the Apache Logging Services project and the CVE project seems to indicate that it is not a critical vulnerability (CVSS score of 3.7). 

We will be issuing further communications on our remediation plans once they become available. No action is needed at this time.

SailPoint has reproduced the recently-identified log4j critical vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) in IdentityNow and has since released a patch to address this vulnerability. A new version of the Cloud Connector Gateway (CCG) has been also released to address this issue. Customers using CCG version 654 or later are no longer vulnerable and have no further action to take. The CCG version is visible to customer admins in the IdentityNow UI.

Customers should expect contact from SailPoint Support to assist with vulnerability mitigation.

The SailPoint team has identified some issues with the VA's updating properly in certain customer’s environments and is currently working with those customers to ensure the update happens correctly.

Detailed information on action needed can be located here: https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityIQ-Blog/IdentityIQ-log4j-Remote-Code-Execution-Vulnerabil...

File Access Manager

This vulnerability can and should be immediately mitigated by updating the log4j library in the Elasticsearch instance that is part of the File Access Manager deployment as documented in the content for the CVE referenced above.
