Possible Vulnerability in SoftEther

Post by arrkaye » Tue Sep 01, 2020 8:36 am

Hi,

We have been running SoftEther server for a while now, installed from the AWS Marketplace. Ver 4.20, Build 9608, Intel x64 / AMD64

Last week we got an alert from AWS GuardDuty to say that the server was making DNS requests to a known malicious URL. The AWS alert was for Trojan:EC2/DropPoint!DNS.

The URL appears to be: standard.t-0001.t-msedge.net

We are not using the Azure DNS feature.

Does anyone have any idea what this request is and why it is being made?

Many thanks,
Ark

Do you have any idea what the 'maiicous url' is? My suggestion would be to file a bug report on github, you'll probably get a quicker response there.
Regards


Bill

Yes, it was standard.t-0001.t-msedge.net

Which seems to be part of the Azure CDN, so I thought it might be related to the Azure VPN feature. Have posted it on GitHub too now.

VPN Azure services are not related to the Windows Azure cloud.
I think the service is hosted at University of Tsukuba and the CDN is not used.
The image on the AWS Marketplace may be a Trojan horse.
