When Bash Meets RocketMQ: A Comedy of Cyber Threats

When a bash script exploits RocketMQ’s vulnerability, it’s not just chaos—it’s comedy. From playing dress-up by downloading a scanner to scanning the entire IPv4 realm, this script’s antics are almost amusing.

Hot Take:

Oh boy, here we go again! RocketMQ seems to be having a bit of a bad hair day courtesy of CVE-2023-33246 vulnerability. This time, it's a cheeky Bash script that's causing all the fuss, and it's so elusive that it has a VirusTotal detection score of just 2 out of 60. It's like a ninja in the world of cyber threats. But wait, there's more! It's not just about creating a random directory and messing things up, this script is also playing dress-up by downloading and compiling a copy of the masscan port scanner. Talk about a double whammy! And the cherry on top? It's also scanning the entire IPv4 address space for specific ports. Now that's what I call a full-service malware script!
