Η εταιρεία ανάπτυξης του Plone CMS, το οποίο συχνά αναφέρεται και σαν το πιο ασφαλές σύστημα διαχείρισης περιεχομένου (CMS) της αγοράς, αναφέρει ότι οι πρόσφατες publications for a hack into FBI systems they are most likely fake.
The CyberZeist hacker, acting on behalf of Anonymous, revealed that in late December he managed to break the CMS software used by the FBI, managing to intercept more than 150 accounts, with hashed passwords.
CyberZeist reported using an exploit in a loophole security that exists in Plone CMS, which is used by the FBI, and that the zero-day is still being sold on the black market.
In a very long publication today, Plone reports that the hack of the FBI system is unlikely, noting that the company is not aware of any zero-day flaw in its software.
"Notices of security repairs are usually issued with a two-week notice. "If the Plone security team receives reports of a zero day exploit already in place, a security update will be released immediately."
Describing the hack's claim as a hoax, Plone tries to crack down the hack, pointing out that some of the details provided by CyberZeist are not accurate, as is the case of its server that the hacker reported to be FreeBSD 6.2 -RELEASE.
“It's highly unlikely that the FBI is running this old version of FreeBSD. Additionally, FreeBSD 6.2 provides Python 2.4, while Plone runs on Python 2.5 and does not run on older versions of Python,” Plone said.
So, what was the purpose of the hacker saying he violated the FBI page?
According to Plone, which describes its software as "an extremely secure content management system," the hacker is most likely trying to sell a fake exploit and needs media advertising to increase the price.
For now, though, it's very hard to say what happened to the FBI's CMS, but CyberZeist has promised to provide more information for the violation when the zero-day sale stops.
Anyway we will somehow find out who is lying…
PS: I have to install this CMS, the company's claims to be the safest one on the market, I was curious.
