"New P2PInfect Botnet MIPS Variant Targeting Routers and IoT Devices"

Researchers have discovered a new variant of the botnet called P2PInfect that can target routers and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. According to Cado Security Labs, the latest version is compiled for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipelined Stages (MIPS) architecture, thus increasing its capabilities and impact. P2PInfect, a Rust-based malware, was first reported in July 2023, targeting unpatched Redis instances and gaining initial access through a critical Lua sandbox escape vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-0543 with a CVSS score of 10.0. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the new variant of the P2PInfect botnet.
