Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a backdoor.

Description

The remote Windows host includes an install of the Energizer DUO software, likely included with a Energizer DUO USB battery charger to allow a user to view the battery charging status.

The installed version of this software includes the Arugizer backdoor (Arucer.dll), which is reported to have been distributed with the Energizer DUO software.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker who connects to this port can use the backdoor to list directories, send and receive files, and execute programs.

Solution

Verify whether the remote host has been compromised and reinstall the operating system if necessary.
