Key points
- Hackers are exploiting a SQL injection vulnerability in Sangoma Switchvox to deploy reverse shells.
- The vulnerability affects many exposed systems, including those in the United States.
- System administrators are recommended to upgrade to Switchvox version 8.4.0.2 or later to mitigate the risk.
By upgrading to the latest version of the phone system, users can protect themselves from this kind of attack.
If attackers get past the upgrade, they can still use the system to spy on and control it, so it's important to keep a close eye on any suspicious activity.
