O-CMS 1.0.0 Authenticated OS Command Injection via ai_cli_script
O-CMS 1.0.0 has an authenticated OS command injection in the ai_cli_script parameter, letting privileged attackers execute arbitrary commands.
O-CMS version 1.0.0 contains an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in its AI CLI configuration functionality. An authenticated attacker with sufficient privileges can supply shell metacharacters and extra commands through the ai_cli_script parameter of /admin/settings/save. The attacker-controlled CLI value is then executed when the configured AI provider is tested via /admin/settings/test-ai.

Muhstik Botnet Attacks Tomato Routers to Harvest New IoT Devices
Unit 42 found a Muhstik botnet variant brute-forcing Tomato router web authentication to harvest IoT devices for crypto mining and DDoS attacks.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers in December 2019 identified a new Muhstik botnet variant scanning Tomato routers on TCP 8080 and brute-forcing default admin credentials, targeting roughly 4,600 exposed devices found via Shodan. The variant also scans WordPress and Webuzo installations and exploits the Oracle WebLogic deserialization flaw CVE-2019-2725 for unauthenticated remote code execution. Muhstik, active since March 2018, self-propagates like a worm and typically monetizes infections through cryptocurrency mining and DDoS attacks controlled via an IRC C2 channel.

The Gopher in the Room: Analysis of GoLang Malware in the Wild
Unit 42 analysis of 10,700 Go-compiled malware samples shows steady growth in the wild, with 92% targeting Windows and top families including Veil, GoBot2, and HERCULES.
Unit 42 collected roughly 10,700 unique Go-compiled malware samples and found that Go usage by malware developers has steadily risen in recent months. About 92% of samples targeted Windows and 75% were attributed to known families, led by Veil, GoBot2, and HERCULES. The most prevalent groupings were penetration testing tools, remote access Trojans, and backdoors. Statically linked Go binaries average 4.65MB, which can complicate phishing delivery but sometimes causes antivirus products to skip or fail scanning.
