Locking down firmware. Starks Federal Communications Commission member Geoffrey Starks recently alluded to the possibility that China may have secretly coded the firmware in Huawei’s equipment to support cyber espionage and cyber infrastructure attacks. telecoms by Chinese tech giant Huawei.
Hackers target QNAP NAS devices running multiple firmware versions vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) flaw addressed by the vendor 3 years ago. QNAP addressed the vulnerability with the release of firmware version 4.3.3 on July 21, 2017. ” reads the report published by 360 Netlab. .
The experts were investigating several suspicious UEFI firmware images when discovered four components, some of which were borrowing the source code a Hacking Team spyware.

The malware exploits several vulnerabilities, including CVE-2017-17215 in Huawei devices, using hard-coded command and control IPs.
Update and patch operating systems, software, and firmware as soon as updates and patches are released. Audit user accounts with administrative privileges and configure access controls with least privilege in mind, and use multifactor authentication. CVE-2017-0144 : Similar to CVE-2017-0145. 7 SP1, 8, 8.1)
Subsequent analysis revealed earlier instances of suspicious code dating back to 2017. Importantly, our investigation, which considered binary timestamps, indicated that this exploit was created prior to April 2017. It is worth noting that the EternalBlue exploit was publicly disclosed by the Shadow Brokers group on April 14, 2017.
Gafgyt also uses some of the existing exploits (CVE-2017-17215, CVE-2018-10561) to download the next stage payloads, which we will discuss further on. Figure 6: Huawei Exploit inside binary (CVE-2017-17215). Keep systems and firmware updated with the latest releases and patches. Some of the recent Gafgyt variants (e.g.,

IPMI vulnerabilities include authentication bypasses, credential leaks, and buffer overflows, particularly in Supermicro systems. Mitigations include using complex passwords, isolating IPMI on restricted networks, and regularly updating firmware despite infrequent patches. It monitors hardware data (e.g., This is a rating 10.0
Install security and firmware upgrades from vendors, as soon as possible. 4000898: AV EXPLOIT Netgear DGN2200 ping.cgi – Possible Command Injection ( CVE-2017-6077 ). 2027093: ET EXPLOIT Possible Netgear DGN2200 RCE (CVE-2017-6077). 2830690: ETPRO EXPLOIT GPON Authentication Bypass Attempt (CVE-2018-10561).
The affected models are NetComm 4G LTE Light industrial M2M routers running firmware version 2.0.29.11 Sood reported the flaws to the ICS-CERT in October 2017. NetComm has released a firmware update that addresses the security vulnerabilities in mid-May 2018. This can be done via a URL, image load, XMLHttpRequest, etc.
Enforce multifactor authentication for all remote access to ICS networks and devices whenever possible. Maintain known-good offline backups for faster recovery upon a disruptive attack, and conduct hashing and integrity checks on firmware and controller configuration files to ensure validity of those backups.
“APT28 has been known to access vulnerable routers by using default and weak SNMP community strings, and by exploiting CVE-2017-6742 (Cisco Bug ID: CSCve54313) as published by Cisco.” The agencies recommend updating to the latest firmware and switching from SNMP to NETCONF or RESTCONF for network management. through 12.4
In 2017, Tesla sent an over-the-air update to their Model S and X vehicles to extend maximum battery capacity and driving range, which allowed owners to drive an extra 30 miles outside the evacuation area as Hurricane Irma was bearing down on Florida. The same rings true for encryption and authentication.
Privacy and Passwords: Two-step verification is done by default, but multi-factor authentication (MFA) is recommended. While 2SV is a valuable security measure, it is less robust than multi-factor authentication (MFA). SimpliSafe quickly fixed this with a firmware update. Who is Ring? Strong password practices are advised.
Observed since: October 2017 Ransomware note: readme.txt Ransomware extension: dihlxbl Kill Chain: Being Distributed via Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome (Korean users) Sample hash: 06ea8f2b8b70b665cbecab797125733f75014052d710515c5ca2d908f3852349. Use double authentication when logging into accounts or services.
Despite increasing OS, firmware and hardware protections, enterprise systems and remote DMA-enabled networks such as cloud environments continue to be vulnerable to DMA attacks. Malware that has already compromised a system could modify firmware to gain privileges within the system via DMA. What is DMA?
Alongside its over 200 acquisitions in four decades, Cisco acquired SD-WAN market innovator Viptela in 2017 to cement its commitment to internet-based networking solutions. The CloudGen WAN is a global SASE service built on Azure; meanwhile, the CloudGen Firewall offers an advanced firewall for today’s hybrid workloads. Open Systems.
OpenSSH resolved a signal handler race problem, Juniper Networks managed an authentication bypass, and CocoaPods faced supply chain attack concerns. Juniper Networks Addresses Authentication Bypass Vulnerability Type of vulnerability: Authentication bypass using an alternate path. Rockwell Automation handled RCE issues.
The exploit combines an authentication bypass ( CVE-2024-4358 ) with a deserialization issue ( CVE-2024-1800 ). The authentication bypass permits the establishment of rogue admin accounts, but the deserialization flaw allows remote code execution, potentially giving attackers complete control over the affected servers.
In July, we reported a rootkit that we found in modified Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware, the code that loads and initiates the boot process when the computer is turned on. Mobile statistics. Targeted attacks. CosmicStrand: discovery of a sophisticated UEFI rootkit.
Chinese APT attackers developed a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) malware that hijacks the booting sequence and is saved in the SPI flash memory of the motherboard beyond where most tools might remove it. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA). Improve Access Control Security for Users.
Some background information: PipeWire is a “server for handling audio, video streams, and hardware on Linux” It was initially released in 2017, is actively developed, and is poised to become the de-facto sound server in pretty much every Linux distribution out there, therefore replacing PulseAudio.
Vamosi: Bowen’s public inquiry revealed findings of multiple buffer overflows, software updates without authentication, and inadequate randomization of the ballots so that valid secrecy can be compromised -- among other vulnerabilities. Very strange, right? That didn’t keep him quiet. This includes best practices.

Alarmingly, this API lacks any form of authentication, allowing virtually anyone, even a malicious website you might visit, to send commands to the CLI. They can be remotely exploited without authentication, potentially enabling remote code execution, service disruptions, and arbitrary operations on the routers. via port 8076.
CVE-2021-33885 – Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity (CVSS 9.7). CVE-2021-33882 – Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CVSS 8.2). Braun Infusomat system were released in 2017. Lastly, the pump runs its own custom Real Time Operating System (RTOS) and firmware on a M32C microcontroller.
This type of rootkit was developed as a proof of concept in 2006, but in 2017, researcher Joseph Connelly designed nested virtual machine rootkit CloudSkulk as part of his Masters degree work at Boise State University. Firmware Rootkit. The rootkit is able to remain hidden because firmware is not usually inspected for code integrity.
In 2017, more than 300,000 WordPress websites were affected by a malicious plugin that allowed an attacker to place embedded hidden links on victim websites. This exposed data includes everything from emails and documents typed to passwords entered for authentication purposes. Firmware rootkit. Bots and Botnets. Rootkit Type.
The attackers distributed a malicious file that masqueraded as an authentic software update, signed with legitimate ASUS digital certificates. Other examples include the outbreak of the NotPetya wiper malware in 2017 , which initially spread as a signed update from the Ukrainian finance software ME Docs.
They are often delivered with default admin credentials that do not have to be changed, offer limited or no authentication support and may not have the means to update firmware – a critical need if a vulnerability is discovered that needs to be patched. Public key infrastructure (PKI) helps to address many of these concerns.
