Category:Malware
Title:Coinhive JavaScript Miner Detection
Summary:This script reports if a web page of the remote host contains code from the; Coinhive JavaScript Miner.
Description:Summary:
This script reports if a web page of the remote host contains code from the
Coinhive JavaScript Miner.

Vulnerability Insight:
While the Coinhive JavaScript Miner might be deployed legitimately, it is often
used by attackers for malicious purposes to consume unauthorized resources of a client browsing a web site.

This script reports results of rudimentary checks for the following strings embedded into any web page of the remote host:

- CoinHive.Anonymous

- CoinHive.User

- CoinHive.Token

NOTE: There are various obfuscation technologies available to hide such JavaScript from the scanner, thus the mentioned
'rudimentary checks' above.

NOTE2: No vulnerability is reported if the Coinhive JavaScript is loaded from the authedmine.com domain. This JavaScript
code only run after an explicit opt-in / agreement from the user.

Vulnerability Impact:
If the Coinhive JavaScript Miner is started without a configured OptOut possibility for the
client, unauthorized resources of this client will be used.

Solution:
Inspect all reported web pages / URLs if the Coinhive JavaScript Miner was
deployed legitimately and remove it if not.

CVSS Score:
4.3
