2024-12 Reference Advisory: Session Smart Router: Mirai malware found on systems when the default password remains unchanged
n Wednesday, December 11, 2024, several customers reported suspicious behavior on their Session Smart Network (SSN) platforms. These systems have been infected with the Mirai malware and were subsequently used as a DDOS attack source to other devices accessible by their network. The impacted systems were all using default passwords. Any customer not following recommended best practices and still using default passwords can be considered compromised as the default SSR passwords have been added to the virus database.
DigiEver Fix That IoT Thing!
- A vulnerability in DigiEver DS-2105 Pro DVRs is being exploited to spread malware. The Akamai Security Intelligence Research Team (SIRT) noticed this activity in their honeypots on November 18, 2024. The vulnerability was originally discovered by Ta-Lun Yen and a CVE identifier has been requested by the Akamai SIRT. The malware is a Mirai variant that has been modified to use improved encryption algorithms. We have included a list of indicators of compromise (IoCs) in this blog post to assist in defense against this threat.

Beware the Unpatchable: Corona Mirai Botnet Spreads via Zero-Day
- The Akamai Security Intelligence and Response Team (SIRT) has observed a botnet campaign that is abusing several previously exploited vulnerabilities, as well as a zero-day vulnerability discovered by the SIRT. CVE-2024-7029 (discovered by Aline Eliovich) is a command injection vulnerability found in the brightness function of AVTECH closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that allows for remote code execution (RCE). Once injected, the botnet spreads a Mirai variant with string names that reference the COVID-19 virus that has been seen since at least 2020. * We have included a list of indicators of compromise (IOCs) to assist in defense against this threat.
