Researchers identified a new malware, named DslogdRAT, deployed after exploiting a now-patched flaw in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS).
JPCERT/CC researchers reported that a new malware, dubbed DslogdRAT, and a web shell were deployed by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability during attacks on Japanese organizations in December 2024.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-0282 (CVSS score: 9.0), is a stack-based buffer overflow that impacts Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.5, Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1.2, and Ivanti Neurons for ZTA gateways before version 22.7R2.3.
DslogdRAT spawns two child processes: one stays idle in a loop, while the second handles core functions like C2 communication and command execution via the pthread library.
