Oh, For Fucking Christ’s Sake: Gladinet is Pwned. Again.
Right, listen up, you lot. Some clowns are exploiting a zero-day in Gladinet TeamFolders – yeah, that Gladinet. The one nobody should be using anyway. Apparently, this vulnerability lets attackers execute code remotely just by… uploading a specially crafted file. A FILE! Seriously? It’s like leaving your front door wide open with a welcome mat that says “Please Hack Me.”
They’re abusing a feature in the web portal to do it, and it affects on-premise deployments. So if you’re running this garbage internally, patch it immediately. Like, stop what you’re doing and fix this shit. BleepingComputer says they’ve got patches available (version 3.42 or later), but honestly, at this point, just rip the whole thing out and use something that isn’t actively trying to get compromised.
No authentication needed for this exploit either, which is just… fantastic. It allows attackers to gain full control of affected servers. I swear, some companies just *want* to be hacked. They’re practically begging for it.
Don’t come crying to me when your data gets ransomed because you decided to stick with this prehistoric software. You were warned. Repeatedly, probably.
Speaking of terrible security choices, I once had to clean up a network where the entire file sharing system was based on FTP with plaintext passwords. Plaintext. The owner said “It’s always worked fine!” Yeah, until it didn’t. Then they wanted *me* to fix it. Some people… honestly.
