Network security testers at 360 Netlab<\/a> have identified a new botnet called “BCMPUPnP_Hunter<\/em>,” which uses vulnerabilities in Broadcom\u2019s implementation of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol to hijack broadband ISP routers from manufactures like Billion, D-Link, TP-Link , ZyXEL etc.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing it’s been suggested that around 100,000 routers<\/strong> could have already been compromised and many of those appear to be older kit, although some like the Billion BiPAC 7800NXL can still be found on sale today. Overall 116 routers have so far been identified as compromised and once that happens then the device is commandeered to help find more victims.<\/p>\n

Most large botnets tend to be used for either Distributed Denial of Service<\/strong> (DDoS) style attacks against servers \/ websites or as huge email spamming networks. The 360 Netlab<\/a> team suggest that BCMPUPnP_Hunter<\/strong> may well end up being used for the latter.<\/p>\n

The biggest concern here is that this botnet has been able to install its malware on routers by exploiting a known vulnerability in the widely used UPnP<\/strong> protocol, which has existed since 2013 but was only made public in 2017 due to the sheer number of devices that use Broadcom’s vulnerable implementation.<\/p>\n

360 Netlab Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPnP is the acronym for Universal Plug and play, the Universal plug-in protocol. The goal of the agreement is to enable home networks (data sharing, communication and entertainment) and various devices in the corporate network to seamlessly connect with each other and simplify the implementation of related networks.<\/p>\n

Broadcom UPnP is a concrete implementation of Broadcom’s response to the UPnP protocol. As Broadcom is in the industry upstream of the supply chain, the implementation is adopted by major router manufacturers, including Asus, D-link, Zyxel, US Robotics, TP-link, Netgear and so on.<\/p>\n

In October 2013, security researchers at security research firm DefenseCode discovered the BroadCom UPnP format string vulnerability<\/a> in the protocol stack . Considering that the vulnerability affects products from several major router vendors, DefenseCode did not disclose their findings until 2017.<\/p>\n

The code disclosed<\/a> this time is of a verification nature. An attacker must complete the necessary vulnerability analysis and optimize the shellcode process on the basis of a publicly available document before it can be of practical power.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly many of the routers involved are no longer being supported (too old). Meanwhile users of those that are still being supported often don’t go actively seeking the latest firmware updates, which may need to be applied in order to deliver the proper protection.<\/p>\n

Alternatively users with one of these routers should consider disabling UPnP, although in some cases this may stop some other connected devices or services from working (assuming they are dependent upon UPnP). Manual port forwarding can often be used to achieve the same result as UPnP but this can be quite complicated. Credits to The Register<\/a> for spotting this.<\/p>\n
