Increase in Exploit Attempts for Atlassian Confluence Server (CVE-2023-22518), (Wed, Dec 20th)

Today, exploit attempts for %%cve:2023-22518%% cross the “significant” threshold for our “First Seen URLs” list. The URL being accessed, “/json/setup-restore.action?synchronous=true“, can be used to bypass authentication [1].

An attack would also include an oversized Host header in a request to the OpenID URL. The scans I have observed do not appear to include this oversized Host header. Looks like they are just looking for possible targets to exploit later.

An Example of RocketMQ Exploit Scanner, (Sat, Dec 16th)

A few months ago, RocketMQ[1], a real-time message queue platform, suffered of a nasty vulnerability referred as %%cve:2023-33246%%. I found another malicious script in the wild a few weeks ago that exploits this vulnerability. It has still today a very low VirusTotal detection score:2/60 [2] (SHA256:70710c630390dbf74a97162ab61aae78d3e18eacb41e16d3dd6bbd872fee66c5).
