Custom Backdoor Targets Juniper Routers in Malware Campaign

/ 1 min read

🪄 Custom Backdoor Targets Juniper Networks Routers in J-magic Campaign. A new malware campaign, dubbed J-magic, has been identified as specifically targeting enterprise-grade Juniper Networks routers, utilizing a custom backdoor that monitors for a “magic packet” sent by attackers. The backdoor, a variant of the publicly available cd00r, has been active since mid-2023 and primarily affects sectors such as semiconductor, energy, and IT across multiple regions, including Europe and South America. The malware establishes a reverse shell upon receiving specific parameters, allowing attackers to control devices and exfiltrate data. This campaign highlights the growing trend of targeting edge infrastructure, particularly routers, which often lack robust security measures.
