07 Remediation
ConnectWise deprecated the tool in July 2023 and provided a new utility that does not contain hardcoded keys. The previous tool relied on a third-party utility that required credentials to be stored locally to perform authenticated network scans. Partners who still have the deprecated tool on their systems should remove it.
