Talos Rules 2020-07-23
This release adds and modifies rules in several categories.

A vulnerability in the web services interface of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct directory traversal attacks and read sensitive files on a targeted system. Rules to detect attacks targeting this vulnerability are included in this release and are identified with GID 3, SIDs 54598 through 54601.

Talos has added and modified multiple rules in the server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
