Hackers exploit SiteGuard WAF flaw to run commands as SYSTEM, root
By Bill Toulas
AI Summary
Attackers are actively exploiting an OS command injection vulnerability in JP-Secure's SiteGuard Server Edition WAF, allowing unauthenticated or low-privileged attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on Linux or SYSTEM on Windows. The flaw affects server-side WAF deployments, meaning organizations using SiteGuard to protect web applications may themselves be the attack surface. Administrators should apply vendor patches immediately and review server logs for anomalous process execution.
