Novel Use of "mount" Spotted in Hikvision Attacks

VulnCheck researchers spotted a novel use of the "mount" command in real-world exploitation of Hikvision CVE-2021-36260. The attacker used NFS to drop and execute binaries, bypassing traditional download methods and evading common detection signatures. This technique has since been integrated into VulnCheck’s open-source go-exploit framework.
