By Habiba Rashid At the time of writing, all reported fake repositories have been taken down and the malicious PoC has been removed from GitHub. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Fake GitHub Repos Caught Dropping Malware as PoCs AGAIN!

In a sign that cybersecurity researchers continue to be under the radar of malicious actors, a proof-of-concept (PoC) has been discovered on GitHub, concealing a backdoor with a "crafty" persistence method. "In this instance, the PoC is a wolf in sheep's clothing, harboring malicious intent under the guise of a harmless learning tool," Uptycs researchers Nischay Hegde and Siddartha Malladi said.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw exists within the processing of SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT commands.
