All umami instances have been infected with a persisting crypto miner. Umami was affected by the next.js CVE but quietly released a fix, so most of their users missed it

I don’t know about “all umami instances being infected” but they were certainly all vulnerable.

    Link? Did you discover this yourself? There is no actual info here.

    All recently open issues are about this. I was a victim, but I'm not the first and people on reddit have done better investigations than I have. Look for the name of the process at the top

    Thanks.

    For severe incidents like this, please post the most appropriate link, in this case https://github.com/umami-software/umami/issues/3852

    Admins in self hosted usually don't have that much experience with real, active compromise and may panic, let's help them as much as possible.

    I will add that Umami itself is not compromised, but vulnerable. That is a somewhat misleading title.

    What was the vector? Did you have umami exposed publicly?

    All umami instances have been infected with a persisting crypto miner.

    Source for that claim? Because vulnerable does not mean infected.

    Also, I'm kinda glad my instance has been offline for a while now because of database trouble. That was lucky.

    Wow I'm glad I happened to see this here. Thank you for the post. I was just thinking about putting all my services behind a VPN too, I think I'm going to go ahead and put that at the top of the list...

    This could explain why my 4C/8T VPS started hitting 100% CPU usage shortly after boot with like next to nothing else running on it.

    I see it's running Ansible. That's an obvious risk.
