Newly published research shows that the domain name system—a fundamental part of the web—can be exploited to hide malicious code and prompt injection attacks against chatbots.
Unless I’m missing something here… The attacker needs to be running some sort of executable in your network with permissions to:
dig the records and assemble the strings
write the decoded result to a file
make that file executable
execute that file
You’ve got bigger problems than hexadecimal txt records in this scenario…
The only difference between this and a GitHub gist appears to be that security software doesn’t scan traffic in port 53… It easily could be configured for that though surely… It’s just UDP traffic like any other.
