Further investigation led us to a developer’s Xcode project that contained XCSSET source malware, which leads to a rabbit hole of malicious payloads. Most notable in our investigation is the discovery of two zero-day exploits.
We uncovered an updated Bashlite malware designed to add infected internet-of-things devices to a distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) botnet. Based on the Metasploit module it exploits, the malware targets devices with the WeMo UPnP API.
