FreakOut – Leveraging Newest Vulnerabilities for creating a Botnet
Recently, Check Point Research encountered several attacks that exploited multiple vulnerabilities, including some that were only recently published, to inject OS commands. The goal behind the attacks was to create an IRC botnet, which can later be used for several purposes, such as DDoS attacks or crypto-mining.
The attacks aim at devices that run one of the following:
- TerraMaster TOS (TerraMaster Operating System) – the operating system used for managing TerraMaster NAS (Network Attached Storage) servers
- Zend Framework – a collection of packages used in building web applications and services using PHP, with more than 570 million installations
- Liferay Portal – a free, open-source enterprise portal. It is a web application platform written in Java that offers features relevant for the development of portals and websites
