![]() ![]() He bases his statements on a study of more than 2,000 companies that Lumu monitors, in which every ransomware attack came with other malware preceding it and paving the way. Companies that can find and remediate that precursor malware can ward off the ransomware attack, he says. Lumu Technologies founder and CEO Ricardo Villadiego suggests that “precursor malware,” which is essentially reconnaissance malicious code, lays the groundwork for a full ransomware campaign to come. ( CSOOnline) ‘Precursor malware’ infection may be a sign you’re about to get ransomware There was also some early confusion between this vulnerability and a different one patched Tuesday in Spring Cloud, a microservices library that’s different from the core Spring Framework. A Chinese developer released a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit on GitHub and then removed it, prompting widespread speculation about the unpatched flaw, its causes and potential impact. The Spring developers confirmed that its impact is remote code execution (RCE), which is the most severe impact a vulnerability could have. The flaw, which has since been dubbed SpringShell or Spring4Shell, is tracked as CVE-2022-22965 and is rated critical. This development has sparked fears that it could have a widespread impact across enterprise environments, since Spring is one of the most popular open-source frameworks for developing Java applications.
