NVD description

Certain KGUARD DVR devices running vulnerable firmware expose a system command execution service on all network interfaces without requiring authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker with network access to the affected service can execute arbitrary system commands on the device, potentially resulting in complete compromise of the DVR. The vulnerability is known to have been exploited in the wild by the Mirai_ptea (Rimasuta) and Mirai_aurora botnets for malware propagation and subsequent DDoS activity. The vulnerability was reported to affect firmware dating from 2016, while firmware released after 2017 appears to mitigate the issue by restricting the affected service to the localhost interface (127.0.0.1) instead of exposing it on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). The affected-device list reported by Netlab includes many D1004NR, D1008NR, D1016NR, D1104, D1104NR, D1108NR, D1116NR, D1132NR, D2116NR, D97xx, D98xx, and D99xx variants and several associated hardware revisions The exploit is included in some version of rapperbot and exploited in 2026. This assignment has been made to document the active exploitation and lack of documentation from the vendor.

    Cling botnet exploits CVE-2021-35394 (CVSS 9.8) in Realtek Jungle SDK, abusing public STUN infrastructure to disguise C2 traffic as legitimate NAT-traversal activity across routers, DVRs, and embedded Linux devices. Key details: - Exploitation of CVE-2021-35394 spiked around September 5, 2026, delivering Cling (also tracked as ClingSTUN by Fortinet). The botnet embeds hard-coded exploits for seven CVEs used in self-propagation: CVE-2014-8361 (Realtek), CVE-2016-20016 (MVPower), CVE-2023-26801 (LB-LINK), CVE-2023-41011 (China 🇨🇳 Mobile/FiberHome), CVE-2024-3721 (TBK DVR), CVE-2025-34037 (Linksys), and CVE-2026-87827 (KGUARD DVR). Initial access spans a much wider set including D-Link, Tenda, Ivanti Connect Secure (CVE-2023-46805, CVE-2024-21887), TP-Link CVE-2023-1389, AVTECH CVE-2024-7029, and others. - The C2 mechanism is the standout: Cling sends STUN Binding Requests to 13 hard-coded servers every five seconds, using an all-zero transaction ID (a deliberate protocol deviation). It then sends custom UDP registration datagrams containing mapped ports and infection-source tags like realtek.selfrep or selfrep.router. Operator commands arrive embedded in the STUN transaction ID field. The controlled server 145.249.115[.]184 returns all-zero transaction IDs rather than echoing the request, the tell that it is operator-controlled. More striking: observed command packets originate from 74.125.250[.]129, an IP resolving to stun.l[.]google[.]com, making malicious replies visually indistinguishable from Google STUN responses. - Persistence is layered: the binary copies itself to /root/.cling and /usr/local/bin/.cling, then appends both paths to /etc/inittab, /etc/init.d/rcS, and /etc/rc.d/rc.boot for SysV and BusyBox init survival. A secondary persistence method replaces the legitimate wget binary with the malware, relocating the original, so any legitimate process invoking wget executes the bot instead. Single-instance enforcement uses SO_REUSEADDR on port 33957. - Once established, Cling supports recursive scanning and worm-like spread, TCP tunnel spawn/stop, proxy launch/stop, and timed DoS floods. Observed flood targets include 112.151.157[.]222:8080, 192.170.240[.]137:53, and Minecraft servers at 23.81.40[.]193:25565 and 147.185.221[.]129:25565. Payloads are fetched via shell script downloaders for ARM, MIPS R3000, PowerPC, Intel 80386, and AMD X86-64, maximizing the range of vulnerable embedded hardware. Network defenders: hunt outbound UDP to port 3478 with zero-byte transaction IDs and flag UDP datagrams to public STUN servers that do not conform to RFC 5389 (non-random transaction IDs, oversized or non-standard payloads). On the host side, check for /root/.cling, /usr/local/bin/.cling, and modifications to /etc/inittab or rcS. Validate the wget binary hash against a known-good baseline: a replaced wget is a clean persistence indicator with no legitimate use case. Port 33957 bound with SO_REUSEADDR on a router or DVR is a direct Cling presence signal. Full IOC list is in the Nozomi Networks report. #DFIR_Radar

    Post summary

    The Cling botnet actively exploits CVE‑2021‑35394 in Realtek Jungle SDK, using STUN infrastructure to hide C2 traffic and embedding multiple exploits for self‑propagation, indicating widespread in‑the‑wild activity.

Initial delivery was observed through exploitation of CVE-2022-36553, a command-injection vulnerability in Hytec Inter HWL-2511-SS routers. Subsequent campaigns used command injection in the EnGenius IoT cloud service (CVE-2025-34035), D-Link UPnP (CVE-2024-23625), Linear and other IoT devices, Realtek devices affected by CVE-2021-35394, TP-Link Archer AX21 devices affected by CVE-2023-1389, AVTECH AVM1203 devices affected by CVE-2024-7029, and D-Link devices affected by CVE-2024-10915. The attackers also used a buffer overflow in the `goform` name parameter across multiple device vendors. ClingSTUN downloaders move to `/tmp`, retrieve architecture-specific payloads, and execute versions for ARM, Intel 80386, MIPS, PowerPC, and AMD x86-64 systems. A later downloader scans `/proc/mounts`, unmounts selected mount points, kills associated processes, and terminates processes running from `/tmp`. The malware also enumerates `/proc`, identifies competing or suspicious processes, compares process command lines with executable names, and kills processes that fail its checks. It opens watchdog device files and uses `ioctl` to disable watchdog timers. For persistence, ClingSTUN copies itself to `/root/.cling` and `/usr/local/bin/.cling`, sets executable permissions, and appends these files to three startup-related files so they execute during boot. It clears its command-line arguments to hide activity from process-monitoring tools. When running as root, it copies selected files from `/proc/1` into `/tmp` and bind-mounts the directory over its own `/proc` entry to conceal process information. The backdoor uses UDP sockets and standard 20-byte STUN binding requests to contact public STUN services, discover externally mapped addresses and ports, and maintain NAT bindings. Earlier versions contacted 24 endpoints and required at least half to respond; a later version used 13 endpoints and required all to succeed. It periodically sends a group identifier and mapped-port data to these services. A specially formatted 20-byte operator packet can trigger remote command execution: command 1 causes the malware to establish an outbound TCP connection, receive a command, and execute it. ClingSTUN also contains hard-coded exploits for self-propagation.

    Post summary

    The report details ClingSTUN's active exploitation of multiple CVEs (e.g., CVE-2022-36553, CVE-2025-34035) in real-world campaigns, with 12 of 26 CVEs marked as actively exploited. It provides technical specifics about the backdoor's persistence mechanisms, network behavior, and target platforms, underscoring ongoing malicious use of these vulnerabilities.
