Botnet operators target multiple zero-day flaws in LILIN DVRs

Experts observed multiple botnets exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in DVRs for surveillance systems manufactured by Taiwan-based LILIN.


Botnet operators are exploiting several zero-day vulnerabilities in digital video recorders (DVRs) for surveillance systems manufactured by Taiwan-based LILIN-


According to the Chinese security firm Qihoo 360’s Netlab team, operators of several botnets, including ChaluboFBot, and Moobot, targeting LILIN DVRs at least since August 30, 2019.


“Starting from August 30, 2019, 360Netlab Threat Detection System has flagged multiple attack groups using LILIN DVR 0-day vulnerabilities to spread Chalubo[1], FBot[2], Moobot[3] botnets.” reads the advisory published by Netlab.


Netlab shared its findings with LILIN on January 19, 2020, and the vendor addressed the issues with the release of the firmware update (version 2.0b60_20200207).


The LILIN zero-day vulnerability is the chain of parts issues:


hardcoded login credentials (root/icatch99, report/8Jg0SR8K50);
/z/zbin/dvr_box command injection vulnerabilities and /z/zbin/net_html.cgi arbitrary file reading vulnerabilities;
/z/zbin/dvr_box provides Web services, and its web interface /dvr/cmd and /cn/cmd have a command injection vulnerability.

The zero-day flaw could allow attackers to modify a DV ..
