ENDLESSDOORS starts automatically, runs with root privileges, and attempts to connect to command-and-control infrastructure roughly every 35 seconds. The backdoor ships by default across 20+ Zbtlink router models, which are white-labeled and sold on popular retail sites including Amazon, AliExpress, and Alibaba.\nThe implant and server implement no encryption or verification, meaning anyone along the network path can hijack the client-server communication and obtain a root shell on the device, regardless of the router's network position. \nThe VulnCheck CNA has assigned CVE-2026-66747 to track backdoored firmware versions; our blog also has guidance for defenders, including affected firmware images, hashes, network indicators, a YARA rule, and network signatures (Suricata / Snort).\nhttps://www.vulncheck.com/blog/zbt-endlessdoors", "creation_timestamp": "2026-08-05T10:34:46.528224Z"}, {"uuid": "d566dd91-d6d4-43bb-ab87-961f51829cfa", "vulnerability_lookup_origin": "1a89b78e-f703-45f3-bb86-59eb712668bd", "author": "9f56dd64-161d-43a6-b9c3-555944290a09", "vulnerability": "CVE-2026-66747", "type": "seen", "source": "https://bsky.app/profile/stackflag.bsky.social/post/3msdgfvc7v32b", "content": "CVE-2026-66747 - cpe2801 firmware\nThe Zbtlink router has a hidden program that allows an attacker to control the router remotely without a password.
