XMRig docker using 100% CPU after testing shiny-proxy software. Why?


Unless someone proves otherwise, after installing ShinyProxy from ShinyProxy.io software, which is a well documented piece of software, the machine started a docker image that runs XMRig that takes 100% CPU usage and might be for bitcoin mining. Below some print-screens. If anyone with similar problem, please let us know.

Solution

  • first thing is to ensure that the docker daemon API is not reachable from the outside world. Lots of scans are being performed all days long to track down open docker daemon api service and launch docker instance from there. Second, as this issue does not relate to a software issue but a suspected breach, I suggest we close this topic and start a thread via mail. You can reach OA security support at itsupport.at.openanalytics.eu

    Could you send us a md5sum of the jar file deployed to the above mentioned e-mail?
