September Worklet Roundup

Hey there, partner!

The September Worklet Roundup brings a herd of powerful new Worklets designed to automate tasks and enhance IT operations' efficiency and security. Saddle up as we introduce September’s Worklets designed to offer ease, productivity, efficiency, and protection for Windows and Mac systems.

The Windows - Software - Install Zoom Worklet allows IT administrators to simplify the installation of the Windows Zoom client on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. By utilizing Automox's platform as a secure storage hub, this Worklet ensures that the most recent version of Zoom is readily available for rapid deployment.

This Worklet eliminates the need for manual updates and provides a consistent and predictable experience for end users.

To achieve this, the Worklet checks for the presence of 32-bit or 64-bit Zoom installations. If not found, it flags the device for remediation and installs the latest version of Zoom based on the device's architecture. 

The Windows - Security - Mitigate Office & Windows HTML RCE Vulnerability Worklet was built to mitigate the CVE-2023-36884 vulnerability, which poses a threat to Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office.

This Worklet interacts with the system's registry to scan, modify, and create the targeted subkey to mitigate the vulnerability. This reduces the attack surface and ensures proper configuration to safeguard systems until the patch can be applied.

By scanning and modifying the system's registry, this Worklet checks for the existence of the targeted subkey. If the subkey doesn't exist, it creates it.

This Worklet also evaluates relevant properties within the key and corrects their values if they don't comply with the desired configuration. The entire process is logged for ease of troubleshooting.

This Worklet is designed to automate the enforcement of password complexity policies on macOS devices. It ensures that robust password policies are in place to protect data in today's digital landscape. By implementing automated password complexity policy enforcement, this Worklet provides confidence in data security.

Interacting with the macOS system, this Worklet enforces password complexity policies, ensuring passwords meet the required complexity criteria such as minimum length, character types, and expiration.

By enforcing these policies, it enhances data security and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

The Mitigate CVE-2023-38149 TCP/IP DoS Vulnerability Worklet is designed to address a vulnerability that can lead to denial-of-service attacks on TCP/IP networks. By implementing this Worklet, IT administrators can mitigate the risk of such attacks and ensure the availability and stability of their network infrastructure.

This Worklet scans the system's network configuration to check for the presence of the vulnerability. If detected, it applies the necessary remediation steps to mitigate the risk. 

By proactively addressing this vulnerability, organizations can prevent potential network disruptions and maintain the integrity of their network infrastructure.

The Targeted Reboot within a Defined Timeframe Worklet allows IT administrators to schedule targeted reboots on endpoints within a defined timeframe. This Worklet provides flexibility and control over reboot operations, ensuring that necessary updates and configurations are applied without disrupting end users' productivity.

IT administrators can define the timeframe during which the targeted reboots should occur, such as during off-peak hours. The Worklet identifies the endpoints that require a reboot and initiates the reboot process within the specified timeframe. By scheduling reboots strategically, organizations can ensure that updates and configurations are applied efficiently while minimizing disruption to end users.

As we continue to work to bring you more useful automations, we invite you to check out our catalog of over 300 Automox-verified Worklets. Explore the possibilities and see what other IT tasks you can automate. Our goal is to make your life easier by automating any task, on any endpoint.
