Botnet exploits GeoVision zero-day to install Mirai malware
A malware botnet is exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in end-of-life GeoVision devices to compromise and recruit them for likely DDoS or cryptomining attacks.
The flaw is tracked as CVE-2024-11120 and was discovered by Piort Kijewski of The Shadowserver Foundation. It is a critical severity (CVSS v3.1 score: 9.8) OS command injection problem, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands on the device.
"Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary system commands on the device," warns Taiwan's CERT.
"Moreover, this vulnerability has already been exploited by attackers, and we have received related reports."
