A researcher has demonstrated how a flaw common to numerous ransomware families can be used to control and eliminate the malware before it encrypts files on vulnerable systems. Malvuln is a project created by researcher John Page (aka hyp3rlinx) that lists vulnerabilities uncovered in various types of malware.
Early in 2021, the Malvuln project was launched. SecurityWeek covered it in January 2021, when there were only a few dozen entries, and again in June 2021, when there were 260. Malvuln had almost 600 malware vulnerabilities as of May 4, 2022. Page added ten new entries in the first several days of May, detailing vulnerabilities in the Conti, REvil, Loki Locker, Black Basta, AvosLocker, LockBit, and WannaCry ransomware families.
