Erlang Cookie – Remote Code Execution
Erlang allows distributed Erlang instances to connect and remotely execute commands. Nodes are permitted to connect to eachother if they share an authentication cookie, this cookie is commonly called '.erlang.cookie'. An attacker can use a specially crafted payload to send a command to the target system and execute it remotely.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the Erlang cookie is not publicly accessible and is not shared with any untrusted nodes.
