WordPress Backdoor Rebuilds Itself After Cleanup Using Files, Database, and Shared Memory
Matched: WordPress
Researchers have uncovered a WordPress backdoor dubbed "SC" that uses multiple persistence mechanisms — including files, the database, and shared memory — to reinstall itself after removal. Dubbed a "self-healing mesh" by Sucuri, the malware uses the SC_ markers in injected content and is designed to survive cleanup attempts by rebuilding itself through redundant infection vectors.
