AI Threat Summary

CVE-2026-77167 is a high-severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.5 affecting the target software. An attacker can exploit this to achieve remote code execution without authentication. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.

Description

Abusing the federated share endpoint, an attacker can write arbitrary rows into the oc_share_external database table. These rows persist indefinitely — there is no automatic cleanup mechanism. Three distinct denial-of-service conditions follow from this write primitive, all triggered from the same unauthenticated source and all self-renewing on a 24-hour cycle for as long as the injected rows remain in the database.

Attack Chain
1
Reconnaissance

Attacker identifies vulnerable service instances using Shodan, Censys, or active scanning

2
Initial Access

Attacker crafts malicious payload exploiting CVE-2026-77167 to achieve remote code execution

3
Execution

Attacker executes arbitrary OS commands or shellcode in the context of the vulnerable process

4
Persistence

Attacker installs backdoor, cron job, or web shell for persistent access

5
Lateral Movement

Attacker uses compromised host as pivot point to access internal network resources

MITRE ATT&CK Techniques
T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application
Initial Access

Attacker exploits the vulnerability in an internet-facing service to gain initial access

T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
Execution

Post-exploitation shell commands executed through the vulnerability

T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer
Command and Control

Attacker downloads malware or tools after gaining code execution

Indicators of Compromise
