Hackers exploit Four-Faith router flaw to open reverse shells

CVE-2024-12856 [HIGH] Hackers exploit Four-Faith router flaw to open reverse shells
## Hackers exploit Four-Faith router flaw to open reverse shells
## Bill Toulas
## Flaw details and scope
CVE-2024-12856 is an OS command injection flaw impacting Four-Faith router models F3x24 and F3x36, typically deployed in energy and utilities, transportation, telecommunications, and manufacturing sectors.
VulnCheck says hackers can gain access to those devices because many are configured with default credentials, which are easy to brute force.
The attack begins with the transmission of a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the router's '/apply.cgi' endpoint targeting the 'adj_time_year' parameter.
This is a parameter used for adjusting the system time, but it can be manipulated to include a shell command.
VulnCheck warns that the current attacks are similar to those targetin
