CVE-2026-25191 is a vulnerability affecting the installer component of Digital Arts Inc.'s FinalCode Ver.5 series, specifically versions prior to 5.43R01. The root cause is an uncontrolled search path element for DLLs during the installation process. When the installer executes, it loads DLLs from its current directory without validating or restricting the search path, allowing an attacker with local access to place a malicious DLL alongside the installer executable. Upon execution, the installer loads the malicious DLL, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the installer's execution privileges. This vulnerability requires the attacker to have the ability to place files in the installer's directory and to persuade a user to run the installer, implying user interaction is necessary. The CVSS v3.0 base score is 7.8, reflecting high severity due to the potential for full system compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts). The attack vector is local (AV:L), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but user interaction is needed (UI:R). The scope remains unchanged (S:U). Although no exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk to environments where FinalCode Ver.5 is deployed, especially if users have the ability to run installers from untrusted directories. The vulnerability highlights the importance of secure DLL loading practices and proper installer design to prevent DLL hijacking or search path manipulation attacks.

This report details insights gained from operating a honeypot sensor enhanced with AI assistance to analyze internet scanning and attack traffic. The honeypot collected millions of logs from thousands of IPs, revealing automated scanning campaigns targeting vulnerable Apache servers, Linux web interfaces, and IoT devices. A notable User-Agent string "libredtail-http" was linked to a botnet-driven multi-stage scanning toolkit aiming to enroll new systems for malicious purposes such as DDoS. The analysis highlights the challenges of distinguishing meaningful threat data from noise and the value of AI tools like ChatGPT in accelerating log interpretation and threat validation. The threat involves automated, low-cost, rotating IP scanning campaigns that exploit known vulnerabilities to compromise exposed systems. Mitigation requires proactive patching, network segmentation, and enhanced telemetry beyond incoming traffic logs. Countries with significant deployments of Apache, Linux, and IoT devices are at elevated risk. The threat is assessed as medium severity due to its automated nature, reliance on known vulnerabilities, and potential for widespread exploitation if unpatched systems remain exposed.

The documented threat arises from automated scanning and exploitation attempts observed via a honeypot sensor deployed to mimic vulnerable internet-facing systems. Over several months, the honeypot collected approximately 8 million logs from 14,000 unique IP addresses, capturing a high volume of background noise from automated scanners and toolkits. A key finding was the identification of a User-Agent string "libredtail-http," associated with a multi-stage scanning toolkit likely operated by a botnet. This toolkit targets vulnerable Apache HTTP servers, Linux web interfaces, and IoT devices by exploiting known vulnerabilities such as CVE-2021-41773 and CVE-2021-42013, which involve path traversal and remote code execution. The scanning campaigns use low-cost IP rotation and intermittent bursts to evade detection and attribution. The honeypot logs primarily contain metadata (source IP, ports, protocols, URLs) but lack payload content, limiting full visibility into exploit details. AI assistance via ChatGPT was instrumental in interpreting log data, validating hypotheses, and focusing investigative efforts, demonstrating AI's role as a collaborative analytical aid rather than a fully automated solution. The threat actor's goal appears to be enrolling compromised devices into a botnet infrastructure for expanded scanning, proxying, and DDoS capabilities. The report underscores the importance of comprehensive telemetry, including outbound traffic monitoring, to detect post-compromise activity. It also highlights that large volumes of logs do not guarantee actionable intelligence without proper scope and interpretation. Overall, this threat exemplifies persistent, automated exploitation attempts leveraging known vulnerabilities and emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring, patching, and intelligent analysis.
