Skibidi

The "Skibidi" vulnerability is a flaw in software design or implementation that has been exploited by attackers to spread malware. The threat actors initially download the "Skibidi" malware using a downloader script, which then executes and displays the string "you're not skibidi enough." This malware targets two specific vulnerabilities concurrently, which increases its potential for damage. The exploitation of the Skibidi vulnerability was identified through an analysis of the malware "skibidi.x86_64". The malware was found to be exploiting two different vulnerabilities simultaneously. The first one is in the TP-Link Archer AX21 Wi-Fi router (CVE-2023-1389), and the second one is in Ivanti Connect Secure products (CVE-2024-21887). The simultaneous exploitation of these vulnerabilities amplifies the impact of the attack, making it more challenging to mitigate. Security researchers discovered this new strain of malware and have since been working on ways to counteract its effects. The discovery of the Skibidi vulnerability emphasizes the need for robust security measures and timely updates to software and firmware. As the situation evolves, it is crucial for organizations to stay informed about such threats and take appropriate action to protect their systems and data.
