IMPORTANT: Server update required to address RPC vulnerability for on-premise iManage customers
In a recent OIA alert, customers were made aware of an advisory published by iManage in relation to a critical RPC vulnerability affecting the iManage Work Server. This issue does NOT affect iManage cloud customers - only on-premise customers running one of the following versions of iManage Work Server are affected:
> Work Server 8.x
> Work Server 9.x
> Work Server 10.0.x - 10.2.2.256
> Work Server 10.3.0.287
Whilst there are multiple ways to mitigate the impact of the RPC vulnerability, the most secure path to resolve this issue is to upgrade to either Work Server 10.2.2.259 or Work Server 10.3.1.336, both of which contain a fix for this issue. The version which customers will upgrade to will depend on a number of factors including their current versions and environment. Details of the issue, mitigation, and resolution options can be found in the iManage Advisory.
If you require assistance determining your iManage Work Server version or would like to discuss your upgrade options, please contact support.
