May 17th 1:35:17pm a user named "daddy" is created and given administrator role. This user never even flipped a switch or did any damage I can see, no malware, no cred stealers, no uploads and the username implies someone trolling (maybe a white hat with a sense of humor?)
I noticed June 2 or 3rd when I was looking in history or log book, filtering by target and noticed a person entity named "daddy", blood turned to ice and I dropped it's network interface while scrambling to do damage control.
So far, I've ascertained that the method of auth/creation was the homeassistant auth backend, so not oidc (like I suspected, but the "createNewUser" flag was off).
I went to llms for help figuring and it was brutally painful, not much forensics to grab. So here I am asking the community for advice.
My Hass is deployed as proxmox VM so I have backups of the compromised state. I have a backup from the next day and I have it restored so I can do forensics.
So, fire away guys and gals if your interested in this little rabbit hole.
And "daddy", if you're out there. I hope you're just a funny person and not a scumbag ![]()
