Western Digital has blocked devices running vulnerable firmware versions from accessing its cloud services, the company said in an advisory.
The move comes about a month after the company released firmware updates for its My Cloud product line to address a critical path traversal bug that leads to remote code execution (RCE).
“Devices running unpatched firmware versions will not be able to connect to Western Digital cloud services starting June 15, 2023, and users will not be able to access their data until the device updates to the latest firmware,” the company said.
