CISA, NCSC-UK, and Cisco detailed Firestarter persistence on Cisco Firepower and Secure Firewall devices running ASA or FTD software, attributing the backdoor to UAT-4356 and linking the activity to ArcaneDoor. The malware modifies CSP_MOUNT_LIST, stores a copy in /opt/cisco/platform/logs/var/log/svc_samcore.log, restores itself to /usr/bin/lina_cs, and relaunches after termination or reboot; Cisco recommends reimaging and upgrading to fixed releases, or using a cold restart only if reimaging is not possible.
