Mirai botnet loves exploiting your unpatched TP-Link routers, CISA warns
were beginning to exploit the flaw primarily by attacking devices in Eastern Europe, though the campaign soon expanded beyond that region.
The Mirai malware rolls up infected Linux-based Internet of Things devices into a botnet that can then be remotely controlled to perform large-scale network attacks, including distributed denial-of-services assaults. The command-injection vulnerability was found by several teams participating in ZDI's Pwn2Own Toronto contest last year and as we said, TP-Link has since issued firmware to fix the issue. After hearing from ZDI that the Mirai botnet operators were trying to exploit it, TP-Link issued aFor devices linked to a TP-Link Cloud account, the firmware was updated automatically. Other users need to update the routers themselves.
The ZDI researchers wrote that seeing the flaw being exploited so quickly after the patch was released is another example of the decreasing time between a vulnerability being found and exploitation attempts beginning. "That said, this is nothing new for the maintainers of the Mirai botnet, who are known for quickly exploiting IoT devices to maintain their foothold in the enterprise," they wrote.
