In January 2020, the year started off with several malware families conducting campaigns against Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) devices via CVE-2019-19781.
In May 2020, security vendors linked Kinsing to an additional campaign: one exploiting SaltStack CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652.

In December 2020, Unit 42 researchers observed attempts to exploit CVE-2020-25213, which is a file upload vulnerability in the WordPress File Manager plugin. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to upload an arbitrary file with arbitrary names and extensions, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the targeted web server.
We uncovered the active exploitation of the Apache ActiveMQ vulnerability CVE-2023-46604 to download and infect Linux systems with the Kinsing malware (also known as h2miner) and cryptocurrency miner. When exploited, this vulnerability leads to remote code execution (RCE) ... The vulnerability itself is due to OpenWire commands failing to validate throwable class type, leading to RCE.
