E4del and PINHOLE RATs Turn FTP Banners Into Dead Drops for Malware Commands
Researchers identified two new RATs, E4del and PINHOLE, using FTP banners as dead drop resolvers to fetch C2 commands via ClickFix-style lures.
SOCRADAR documented two previously unreported RATs, E4del and PINHOLE, that use FTP banners as dead drop resolvers, a first in-the-wild use of this technique. E4del is a Node.js-based RAT hidden in a digitally signed Electron application masquerading as Discord, with tiered-jitter beaconing, reverse shell, screenshot capture and desktop streaming. PINHOLE is more advanced, using Pinterest, SurveyMonkey and Cloudflare Workers for C2 resolution, six layers of unpacking, Halo's Gate EDR evasion and Early Bird APC injection. A related WebDAV delivery chain overlaps with ClearFake campaigns distributing WordlistLoader and Amatera Stealer.

CVE-2026-78254: Apache Ant: Path traversal in ftp and scp tasks allows arbitrary file write
Apache Ant 1.2 before 1.10.18 ftp and scp tasks allow path traversal, letting malicious servers overwrite arbitrary files (CVE-2026-78254).
CVE-2026-78254 affects Apache Ant (org.apache.ant:ant) versions 1.2 before 1.10.18 and is rated moderate. The ftp and scp tasks download files from a remote server, and a malicious server can supply relative paths that write outside the dedicated target directory, overwriting attacker-chosen files with the permissions of the user running Ant. The issue is fixed in Apache Ant 1.10.18.
