Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Detect directory traversal attempts against img.pl via the 'f' parameter containing URL-encoded or literal dot-dot sequences (e.g., %2e%2e or ../). ↗
- →Alert on HTTP GET requests to /cgi-bin/img.pl with the 'f' parameter containing %2e%2e or ../ path traversal patterns, especially targeting /etc/hosts or /bin/sh. ↗
- →The exploit uses a pipe character and shell invocation appended to the f parameter for RCE; detect URL-encoded pipe characters or 'bin/sh' strings in requests to img.pl. ↗
- →The exploit targets port 8000 by default; monitor for traversal/RCE patterns on non-standard HTTP ports (8000) on Barracuda appliances. ↗
- ·Vulnerable firmware versions are 3.1.16 and 3.1.17; versions prior to 3.1.18 are affected. Ensure detection rules are scoped to these versions or applied broadly until patched. ↗

## Executive Summary
Since the discovery of the Mirai variant using the binary name ECHOBOT in May 2019, it has resurfaced from time to time, using new infrastructure, and more remarkably, adding to the list of vulnerabilities it scans for, as a means to increase its attack surface with each evolution.
Unlike other Mirai variants, this particular variant stands out for the sheer number of exploits it incorporates, with the latest version having a total of 71 unique exploits, 13 of which haven’t been seen exploite

Since the discovery of the Mirai variant using the binary name ECHOBOT in May 2019, it has resurfaced from time to time, using new infrastructure, and more remarkably, adding to the list of vulnerabilities it scans for, as a means to increase its attack surface with each evolution.
Unlike other Mirai variants, this particular variant stands out for the sheer number of exploits it incorporates, with the latest version having a total of 71 unique exploits, 13 of which haven’t been seen exploited in the wild until now, ranging from extremely old CVEs from as long back as 2003, to recent vulnerabilities made public as recently as early December 2019. Based on this seemingly odd choice, one could risk a guess that the attackers could potentially be aiming for the sweet sp
