Zero-Day Drama: FreePBX Users Scramble as Hackers Exploit Admin Panel Vulnerability!
The Sangoma FreePBX Security Team is sounding the alarm about a zero-day vulnerability in FreePBX’s Administrator Control Panel. Hackers are having a field day, exploiting exposed systems since August 21. If your PBX system is hanging out online like a social butterfly, it’s time to rein it in and secure those panels!
Hot Take:
Looks like Sangoma’s FreePBX is suffering from a case of severe “internet exposure.” Time to cover up that Administrator Control Panel, folks! Hackers are treating this zero-day vulnerability like an all-you-can-eat buffet, and they’re not leaving any leftovers. Here’s hoping Sangoma can fix this mess faster than you can say “PBX vulnerability!”
Key Points:
– FreePBX’s zero-day vulnerability is being actively exploited by hackers.
– Vulnerability affects systems with the Administrator Control Panel exposed to the internet.
– Sangoma released an EDGE module fix, but it’s only a band-aid for future installations.
– Users with expired support contracts might be left in the dust without the EDGE update.
– Administrators are advised to restrict ACP access and check for signs of compromise.
