Oh, Joy. Hackers are at it Again.

Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, some script kiddies – and let’s be real, anyone exploiting this is a script kiddy – have found a hole in SAP’s Solution Manager. A big one. Like, “can remotely execute code on your Linux boxes” big. It’s CVE-2024-35986 if you *really* care about the number, but honestly, if you’re running vulnerable SAP stuff, you deserve whatever you get.

They’re using this to shove “Auto-Color” malware onto systems. Auto-Color? Seriously? Sounds like something a five-year-old would name their first virus. It’s a backdoor, naturally, letting them poke around and steal data. The attackers are targeting companies in the logistics sector – because *of course* they are. Supply chains are always the easiest targets.

SAP patched this back in February, so if you haven’t updated… well, I have no sympathy. None. Zero. You’ve been warned for months. They’re exploiting it through a dodgy web application interface, which means basic security hygiene would have prevented this. But hey, who needs that when you can just keep running ancient software?

Mitigation? Update your SAP stuff. Now. And maybe consider hiring someone who knows what they’re doing instead of letting interns manage critical infrastructure. I’m not holding my breath.

And Another Thing…

I once had to clean up a system where someone thought “security through obscurity” meant hiding the server room behind a pile of cardboard boxes. Cardboard! They were genuinely surprised when I found it. This SAP mess feels about as sophisticated as that. Honestly, people.
