EnemyBot Linux Botnet Now Exploits Web Server, Android and CMS Vulnerabilities

Liferay Portal contains a deserialization of untrusted data flaw (CWE-502) that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the product's JSON web services. An attacker triggers it by sending crafted, untrusted serialized data to the portal's JSON web services endpoints; the available data does not specify an affected version range or authentication requirements. Successful exploitation yields remote code execution on the portal server, a foothold attackers can use to pivot into the wider environment. Any organization running Liferay Portal is affected, with internet-facing deployments at highest risk; public internet-wide scans have counted tens of thousands of exposed instances. The vulnerability is on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2021-11-03) with a 99.9% EPSS (100th percentile), indicating active or near-certain exploitation, though no public PoC is documented, ransomware use is unknown, and CVSS has not been scored.

Do: Apply Liferay's updates per vendor instructions as required by CISA KEV, prioritizing internet-facing portals, and use the Liferay advisory to identify affected instances since no version range is given here. If patching must wait, restrict external access to the JSON web services endpoints and monitor for exploitation, given the in-the-wild status and 99.9% EPSS.

KramerAV VIAWare, all tested versions, allow privilege escalation through misconfiguration of sudo. Sudoers permits running of multiple dangerous commands, including unzip, systemctl and dpkg.

KRAMER VIAware through August 2021 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because ajaxPages/writeBrowseFilePathAjax.php accepts arbitrary executable pathnames (even though browseSystemFiles.php is no longer reachable via the GUI). NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-17124.

A command injection vulnerability in the web interface of the Zyxel NWA-1100-NH firmware could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the device.

F5 BIG-IP contains a critical missing-authentication flaw (CWE-306) in its iControl REST control plane: an unauthenticated attacker with network reachability to the management interface, or to self IPs exposing the REST service on TCP 443, can bypass authentication completely. By sending specially crafted HTTP requests, the attacker gains the ability to execute arbitrary code, create or delete files, and disable services, effectively achieving full takeover of the load balancer or security appliance and the traffic it handles. All F5 BIG-IP deployments running unpatched software are affected; the provided data does not enumerate exact version ranges, which are listed in F5's May 2022 security advisory. The flaw was added to CISA's KEV catalog on 2022-05-10 with known ransomware use, and EPSS assigns a 100% probability of exploitation within 30 days (100th percentile), indicating active in-the-wild exploitation. No public proof-of-concept is catalogued in the provided data, but the KEV listing and known ransomware use confirm real-world attacks.

Do: Upgrade affected F5 BIG-IP systems to the fixed releases listed in F5's May 2022 security advisory (K23605340) immediately, prioritizing appliances whose management interface or self IPs on TCP 443 are reachable from untrusted networks; as an interim mitigation, block untrusted access to the management interface and the iControl REST service. Because this flaw is in CISA's KEV catalog with known ransomware use, also hunt for signs of compromise (unexpected files, disabled services, unknown persistence) on any system that was exposed before patching.

CVE-2022-22947 is a code injection (Spring Expression Language injection) flaw in VMware Spring Cloud Gateway that allows arbitrary remote code execution when the Gateway Actuator endpoint is enabled, exposed, and unsecured. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a maliciously crafted request (typically a crafted POST to the gateway actuator routes endpoint) that is evaluated as code, letting the attacker run arbitrary commands on the host. The CVSS 3.1 score is 10.0 (critical) because exploitation is network-based, requires no privileges or user interaction, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability beyond the vulnerable component. All Spring Cloud Gateway deployments prior to 3.1.1/3.0.7 are affected, along with Oracle products that embed the component, including Commerce Guided Search and multiple Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core functions. Exploitation is confirmed: the flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-05-16, EPSS puts the 30-day exploitation probability at 98.3% (100th percentile), public PoC exploits exist, and related reporting describes botnets adding Spring Cloud Gateway exploits to their attack tooling.

Do: Upgrade Spring Cloud Gateway to 3.1.1 or later, or to 3.0.7 or later on the 3.0.x line, per VMware's advisory, and apply the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update for affected Oracle Commerce Guided Search and Communications Cloud Native Core products. If you cannot patch immediately, disable or restrict the Gateway Actuator endpoint so it is not reachable over the network without authentication. Scan for exposed gateway actuator endpoints and review hosts for signs of command execution; this flaw is on CISA's KEV list, which requires applying updates per vendor instructions.

CVE-2022-22954 is a server-side template injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in VMware Workspace ONE Access and VMware Identity Manager that allows remote code execution on affected appliances. It is triggered when attacker-controlled input is passed into a server-side template engine, allowing injected template directives to be evaluated and executed as code on the server. A successful attacker gains the ability to run arbitrary code on the identity appliance, and CISA notes the flaw has been used in ransomware campaigns, so compromise can serve as an initial foothold for broader enterprise intrusion. Any organization running Workspace ONE Access or Identity Manager, including deployments where the Identity Manager component is bundled into VMware Horizon environments, is potentially affected, though the source data does not specify affected version ranges. The vulnerability was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-04-14 with ransomware use confirmed and a required action to apply vendor updates, and EPSS currently assigns it a 100% probability of exploitation within 30 days (100th percentile); no public PoC is known.

Do: Apply the patches published in VMware advisory VMSA-2022-0011 (April 2022) to Workspace ONE Access and Identity Manager appliances as required by the CISA KEV listing, prioritizing internet-facing instances, and restrict or remove public exposure until patched. Review appliance and web-server logs for template-injection probes and unexpected processes spawned by the identity service, and investigate any indications of compromise for follow-on ransomware or lateral-movement activity.

TOTOLink A3000RU V5.9c.2280_B20180512 was discovered to contain a command injection vulnerability in the "Main" function. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the QUERY_STRING parameter.
