Choose the appropriate intervention

  1. Locate Stormshield Management Center instances, running releases and service owners. Record condition < 3.9.2 in the ticket alongside reference CERTFR-2026-AVI-0816.
  2. Compare the installed branch with the vendor’s Stormshield Management Center release notes. Prepare the package for that branch and a dependent-service test, retaining the pre-change state.
  3. After changing Stormshield Management Center, capture the loaded version again and verify the workflow below. Any exception needs an owner, an exposure-reduction measure and an expiry date.

Verify the fix in a real workflow

Validation scenario to adapt for Stormshield Management Center: For Stormshield Management Center, test an authorised business flow from each zone reaching the service and confirm management restrictions. If a redundant pair exists, verify both nodes and rule persistence after failover during a planned maintenance window. This is a proposed defensive check, not a claim that testing was performed against third-party systems.
