SAP NetWeaver Flaw Exploited: Auto-Color Malware Paints a Grim Picture for U.S. Chemical Company
Threat actors are exploiting CVE-2025-31324, a SAP NetWeaver flaw, to unleash the Auto-Color backdoor on unsuspecting targets. The malware acts like a stealthy ninja, only causing havoc when connected to its command center. It’s the digital equivalent of a practical joke, except the punchline is a compromised Linux host!
Hot Take:
If you thought your chemistry class was explosive, try mixing hackers with a patched SAP NetWeaver flaw! It’s a concoction that only a cybercriminal could love. With the Auto-Color backdoor playing the villain in this digital drama, the U.S. chemicals company had a surprise experiment they didn’t sign up for. I guess the periodic table isn’t the only place where elements are getting compromised these days.
