A maximum-severity security bug in the Aviatrix Controller platform is being targeted by multiple threat actors, who are exploiting it to deploy malware. The bug, present in all supported Aviatrix Controller versions before 7.2.4996 or 7.1.4191, allows privilege escalation on Amazon Web Services and permits remote adversaries to run arbitrary commands. Some attacks involve deployment of XMRig cryptomining malware and Sliver backdoors. Many companies remain vulnerable, and Aviatrix strongly encourages the application of their issued patch as a protection.
