9 Year-Old PHP Vulnerability Keeps Swinging As One of the Most Targeted Vulnerabilities

概要

CVE-2017-9841, a remote code execution vulnerability in PHPUnit's eval-stdin.php file, remains highly exploited nearly a decade after disclosure. Analysis reveals over 80,000 exploitation attempts detected in 30 days, with 36,500 hits in the last 10 days alone. The vulnerability affects PHPUnit versions prior to 4.8.28 and 5.x before 5.6.3, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via POST requests without authentication. Mass-scanning infrastructure targets dozens of framework-specific paths across Laravel, Drupal, Yii, and WordPress installations. Primary attack sources include compromised infrastructure in the UK and US, delivering webshells and botnet payloads. Multiple botnets including RondoDox, Kinsing, KashmirBlack, Sysrv, and Androxgh0st actively exploit this vulnerability. The persistent exploitation stems from developers failing to exclude development dependencies in production environments and exposing vendor directories to web servers.
