Attack Chain

1. The attacker crafts a malicious Ruby object containing an ERB instance and/or an ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedInstanceVariableProxy instance.
2. The ERB instance has its @src instance variable set to a string containing malicious code with the “end\nsystem(‘id’)\ndef x” payload.
3. The vulnerable application calls Marshal.load on the crafted object, triggering deserialization.
4. During deserialization, the DeprecatedInstanceVariableProxy is instantiated (if used), which then invokes the ERB#def_module method via method_missing.
5. The ERB#def_module method calls ERB#def_method without checking the @_init guard.
6. Inside ERB#def_method, the malicious code in @src is wrapped in a method definition and evaluated via module_eval.
7. The “end\nsystem(‘id’)\ndef x” payload causes the system('id') command to execute during the module_eval call, bypassing the intended deserialization protection.
8. The attacker achieves arbitrary code execution on the target system, gaining the ability to perform malicious actions.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system. This affects Ruby applications, including Ruby on Rails, which use Marshal.load on untrusted data. Specific impact includes potential compromise of web servers and the ability to read sensitive files, modify data, or install malware. Vulnerable applications include those using Marshal.load for caching, data import, or IPC, and legacy Rails applications (pre-7.0) using Marshal for cookie session serialization. This bypass renders the @_init mitigation ineffective across all ERB versions from 2.2.0 through 6.0.3.

Recommendation

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-4347 allows unauthenticated attackers to move arbitrary files within the WordPress server’s file system. This can lead to the exposure of sensitive configuration files like ‘wp-config.php’, leading to full database and site compromise. While the number of affected installations is currently unknown, a successful attack can have devastating consequences, including data theft, website defacement, and remote code execution. The impact is limited to sites using the vulnerable MW WP Form plugin with specific configuration settings enabled.

Recommendation

• Upgrade the MW WP Form plugin to the latest version (greater than 5.1.0) to patch CVE-2026-4347.
• As a preventative measure, implement file integrity monitoring on critical files like ‘wp-config.php’ to detect unauthorized modifications or movement. Use file_event logs to trigger alerts.
• Deploy the Sigma rule “Detect MW WP Form Arbitrary File Move Attempt” to identify potential exploitation attempts in web server logs.
• Review WordPress access logs for suspicious file upload requests, focusing on requests to the MW WP Form plugin’s upload handler.

Attack Chain

1. An unauthenticated attacker sends a malicious request to the vulnerable IBM Verify or Security Verify Access server.
2. The request contains crafted input designed to exploit the command injection vulnerability.
3. The server fails to properly validate the user-supplied input.
4. The malicious input is passed to an operating system command.
5. The server executes the attacker-controlled command with the privileges of the compromised user (lower user privileges).
6. The attacker gains unauthorized access to the system.
7. The attacker can then potentially escalate privileges, move laterally, or exfiltrate sensitive data.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability (CVE-2026-1345) allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system with lower user privileges. While the attacker does not gain root access directly, this vulnerability can be used as a stepping stone to further compromise the system, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruption, or complete system takeover. The lack of initial authentication makes it easily exploitable.

Recommendation

• Apply the security patch provided by IBM as detailed in their advisory to remediate CVE-2026-1345 (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7268253).
• Implement input validation and sanitization measures on all user-supplied input to prevent command injection attacks.
• Monitor web server logs for suspicious requests and patterns that indicate command injection attempts, creating correlation rules using webserver logs.

Attack Chain

1. The attacker identifies an internet-facing Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem) instance.
2. The attacker discovers the unintentionally exposed internal service through reconnaissance techniques such as port scanning and service enumeration.
3. The attacker crafts a malicious request specifically designed to exploit the exposed API endpoint of the internal service.
4. The attacker sends the crafted request to the vulnerable API endpoint of the exposed service.
5. The vulnerable SSM On-Prem software processes the malicious request without proper authentication or authorization checks.
6. The software executes arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system due to the exposed API.
7. The attacker gains root-level privileges on the SSM On-Prem host, allowing for full control of the system.
8. The attacker can then perform further malicious activities, such as data exfiltration, lateral movement, or installation of persistent backdoors.

Impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-20160 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with root-level privileges. This could lead to complete compromise of the affected SSM On-Prem host. The attacker could exfiltrate sensitive data, disrupt services, or use the compromised system as a launchpad for further attacks within the network. Given the critical nature of software license management performed by SSM On-Prem, a successful attack could have significant operational and financial consequences.

Recommendation

Attack Chain

1. A vulnerable Java application receives malicious input containing a JNDI lookup string.
2. The Java application attempts to resolve the JNDI name, initiating an outbound network connection to an LDAP, RMI, or DNS server on ports 389, 1389, 1099, 53, or 5353.
3. The malicious LDAP/RMI/DNS server, controlled by the attacker, responds with a payload referencing a malicious Java class or remote code.
4. The Java application loads and executes the malicious code.
5. As a result of the executed code, a shell interpreter (sh, bash, zsh, etc.) or scripting language (python, perl, ruby, php, wget) is spawned as a child process of the Java application.
6. The spawned shell/script executes attacker-controlled commands for reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or lateral movement.
7. The attacker gains a foothold on the system.
8. The attacker performs actions such as data exfiltration or deploying malware.

Impact

Successful exploitation of JNDI vulnerabilities can lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to gain complete control over affected systems. This can result in data breaches, system compromise, and further propagation of attacks within the network. The impact can range from service disruption to complete system takeover. Public exploits for vulnerabilities such as Log4Shell have been widely available, leading to widespread scanning and exploitation attempts across various industries.

Recommendation

• Deploy the Sigma rule “Potential JAVA/JNDI Exploitation Attempt” to your SIEM to detect suspicious Java processes initiating network connections to LDAP, RMI, or DNS ports followed by suspicious child processes.
• Enable process creation and network connection logging on Linux and macOS endpoints to provide the necessary data for the Sigma rules to function correctly.
• Review and whitelist legitimate Java applications that may trigger false positives due to legitimate network connections (see the “False positive analysis” section in the original rule’s note field).
• Implement network segmentation to limit the impact of successful exploitation by restricting lateral movement.
• Patch vulnerable Java applications and libraries, such as Log4j, to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-45046.
