Breaking Down the Clock PoC Exploits Utilized by Hackers Within 22 Minutes

It has been shown that threat actors are swift in weaponizing available proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits in real attacks, often within 22 minutes of publicly releasing these exploits.

In that regard, Cloudflare has published its annual Application Security report for 2024, which covers the period between May 2023 and March 2024 and identifies emerging threat trends.

It has been observed that Cloudflare, which currently processes an average of 57 million requests per second of HTTP traffic, continues to experience an increase in scanning for CVEs, followed by command injection attacks and attempts to weaponize available proofs-of-concept. 

Attackers may exploit a new vulnerability in as little as 22 minutes after the release of a proof-of-concept (PoC), depending on the vulnerability.

It has been found that between May 2023 and May 2024, Cloudflare will receive 37,000 threats, which is the most significant number since May 2023.

According to Cloudflare’s Application Security Report for 2024, hackers are becoming more sophisticated in their search for previously unknown software vulnerabilities, also known as CVEs.

They take immediate action when they find them, identifying how to exploit them and attempting to inject commands into them to execute attacks as soon as possible. 

Several CVE vulnerabilities have recently been revealed as vulnerabilities, but hackers have already been able to exploit them within 22 minutes of their disclosure. It was reported in the open-source community that CVE-2024-27
