Security News > 2024 > April > Hackers hijack OpenMetadata apps in Kubernetes cryptomining attacks
In an ongoing Kubernetes cryptomining campaign, attackers target OpenMetadata workloads using critical remote code execution and authentication vulnerabilities.
The security vulnerabilities exploited in these attacks were patched one month ago, on March 15, in OpenMedata versions 1.2.4 and 1.3.1.
Microsoft, which first spotted the attacks, says the five flaws have been actively exploited since early April to hijack Internet-exposed OpenMedata workloads left unpatched.
"Once the attackers confirm their access and validate connectivity, they proceed to download the payload, a cryptomining-related malware, from a remote server. We observed the attackers using a remote server located in China."
