Victor Mata of FusionX, Accenture Security, who has been credited with reporting the flaw, [said](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339>) the issue was disclosed to Microsoft in December 2020.\n\n\"A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations,\" the company said in its out-of-band bulletin, echoing the vulnerability details for [CVE-2021-34481](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsoft-warns-of-new-unpatched.html>). \"An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

Three members of the Conti team have been identified so far, each playing the roles of admin (\"Tokyo\"), assistant (\"it_work_support@xmpp[.]jp\"), and recruiter (\"IT_Work\") to attract new affiliates into their network.\n\nWhile ransomware attacks work by encrypting the victims' sensitive information and rendering it inaccessible, threat actors have increasingly latched on to a two-pronged strategy called double extortion to demand a ransom payment for decrypting the data and threaten to publicly publish the stolen information if the payment is not received within a specific deadline.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/a/AVvXsEgOlxdMar0Fk9C_1oq4rsZqCsRuaWDFa_UwPznj1p4XnxV22g7c-3gidrF7ZVnxd0TVDTn8qhzr16V265fVSa3d-p7SOODkUMikIREYKzV6MyCaPI1KWzNgYj3TduhqzgszRUX6zZkCytED5c4K-icaEZjwN4cvwnz1D0zehnwVGdYAwJXLo8uaJijX>)\n\n\"Conti customers \u2013 affiliate threat actors \u2013 use [a digital] management panel to create new ransomware samples, manage their victims, and collect data on their attacks,\" noted the researchers, detailing the syndicate's attack kill chain leveraging PrintNightmare ([CVE-2021-1675](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/06/researchers-leak-poc-exploit-for.html>), [CVE-2021-34527](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsoft-warns-of-critical.html>), and [CVE-2021-36958](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/08/microsoft-security-bulletin-warns-of.html>)) and FortiGate ([CVE-2018-13374](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-13374>) and [CVE-2018-13379](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/09/hackers-leak-vpn-account-passwords-from.html>)) vulnerabilities to compromise unpatched systems.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/a/AVvXsEh5pQ7nISIe-f2lC7T7iJVkfmQ4L9uCXsO1rxdPo0YzkwJ4-Q15UkgDuRGhckTpdbAYrR1h3kYePBPrRNFWefg6MtaX_jlMsgcojwvu-zrrtvaw0hKxGJkD-dTl06UiZOX1R5kuboLkxyuot8hDBrgxX1fH8yoVdsv0e1f0rvziG6_Mw-IWMJUBBgQg>)\n\nEmerging on the cybercrime landscape in October 2019, Conti is believed to be the work of a Russia-based threat group called [Wizard Spider](<https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/actor/wizard_spider>), which is also the operator of the infamous [TrickBot](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/11/trickbot-operators-partner-with-shatak.html>) banking malware. Since then, at least 567 different companies have had their business-critical data exposed on the victim shaming site, with the ransomware cartel receiving over 500 bitcoin ($25.5 million) in payments since July 2021.\n\nWhat's more, an analysis of ransomware samples and the bitcoin wallet addresses utilized for receiving the payments has revealed a connection between Conti and Ryuk, with both families heavily banking on TrickBot, Emotet, and BazarLoader for actually [delivering the file-encrypting payloads](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/06/ransomware-attackers-partnering-with.html>) onto victim's networks via email phishing and other social engineering schemes.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/a/AVvXsEgySne4_su9eRCap6MABBaa8kbBo2rWbr8gzBUOmkmLhbonXU-etPl5K4VuXHkduN2lH7fMHbQ7q8Wq0HsqBnUz9P3JWJBqtztJQAEPOJWnoAVuecd8Zyblq-TOPPfmILc40tmzfs9VX0h_utrR3fydA8JQm8EO0PO7BIKlRaSIBA8_I717s_bvckQ5>)\n\nPRODAFT said it was also able to gain access to the group's recovery service and an admin management panel hosted as a Tor hidden service on an Onion domain, revealing extensive details of a clearnet website called \"contirecovery[.]ws\" that contains instructions for purchasing decryption keys from the affiliates. Interestingly, an investigation into Conti's ransomware negotiation process [published](<https://team-cymru.com/blog/2021/10/05/collaborative-research-on-the-conti-ransomware-group/>) by Team Cymru last month highlighted a similar open web URL named \"contirecovery[.]info.\"\n\n\"In order to tackle the complex challenge of disrupting cybercriminal organizations, public and private forces need to work collaboratively with one another to better understand and mitigate the wider legal and commercial impact of the threat,\" the researchers said.\n\n**_Update:_** The Conti ransomware's payment [portals](<https://twitter.com/VK_Intel/status/1461810216241086467>) are back up and running, more than 24 hours after they were first taken down in response to a report that identified the real IP address of one of its recovery (aka payment) servers \u2014 217.12.204[.]135 \u2014 thereby effectively bolstering its security measures.\n\n\"Looks like Europeans have also decided to abandon their manners and go full-gansta simply trying to break our systems,\"the gang said in a statement posted on their blog, effectively confirming PRODAFT's findings, but characterizing the details as \"simply disinformation,\" and that \"the reported 25kk which we 'made since July' is straight-up BS - we've made around 300kk at least.\"\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

Printers installed via this technique also install queue-specific files, which can be arbitrary libraries to be loaded by the privileged Windows Print Spooler process.\n\n### Description\n\nMicrosoft Windows allows for users who lack administrative privileges to still be able to install printer drivers, which execute with `SYSTEM` privileges via the Print Spooler service. This ability is achieved through a capability called [Point and Print](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/print/introduction-to-point-and-print>). Starting with the update for [MS16-087](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securitybulletins/2016/ms16-087>), Microsoft requires that printers installable via Point are either signed by a [WHQL release signature](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/whql-release-signature>), or are signed by a certificate that is explicitly trusted by the target system, such as an installed test signing certificate. The intention for this change is to avoid installation of malicious printer drivers, which can allow for Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) to `SYSTEM`.\n\nWhile Windows enforces that driver packages themselves are signed by a trusted source, Windows printer drivers can specify [queue-specific files](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/print/installing-queue-specific-files>) that are associated with the use of the device. For example, a shared printer can specify a `CopyFiles` directive for arbitrary files. These files, which may be copied over alongside the digital-signature-enforced printer driver files are **not** covered by any signature requirement. Furthermore, these files can be used to overwrite any of the signature-verified files that were placed on a system during printer driver install. The remote printer can also be configured to automatically execute code in any files dropped by the `CopyFiles` directive. This can allow for LPE to `SYSTEM` on a vulnerable system.\n\nAn exploit for this vulnerability is [publicly available](<https://twitter.com/gentilkiwi/status/1416429860566847490>).\n\n### Impact\n\nBy connecting to a malicious printer, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with `SYSTEM` privileges on a vulnerable system.\n\n### Solution\n\nMicrosoft has published updates for [CVE-2021-36958](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>) regarding this issue. Please also consider the following workarounds:\n\n#### Block outbound SMB traffic at your network boundary\n\nPublic exploits for this vulnerability utilize SMB for connectivity to a malicious shared printer. If outbound connections to SMB resources are blocked, then this vulnerability may be mitigated for malicious SMB printers that are hosted outside of your network. Note that an attacker local to your network would be able to share a printer via SMB, which would be unaffected by any outbound SMB traffic rules.\n\n#### Configure both PackagePointAndPrintServerList and PackagePointAndPrintOnly settings\n\nMicrosoft Windows has a Group Policy called \"Package Point and Print - Approved servers\", which is reflected in the `HKLM\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\Printers\\PackagePointAndPrint\\PackagePointAndPrintServerList` and `HKLM\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\Printers\\PackagePointAndPrint\\ListofServers` registry values. This policy can restrict which servers can be used by non-administrative users to install printers via Point and Print. Configure this policy to prevent installation of printers from arbitrary servers.\n\nTo ensure that Microsoft Windows only attempts to install Package Point and Print printers, and therefore restricting printer connections to the approved servers list, you must also set the `HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\Printers\\PackagePointAndPrint\\PackagePointAndPrintOnly` registry value to `1`. The Group Policy setting that corresponds to this value is called \"Use only Package Point and print\". Setting this value to \"Enabled\" will enforce that only Package Point and Print printers will be used.\n\n**Both** of these settings must be configured to protect against exploitation of this vulnerability.\n\n#### Block the ability to modify the print spooler drivers directory\n\nCourtesy of the [TRUESEC Blog](<https://blog.truesec.com/2021/06/30/fix-for-printnightmare-cve-2021-1675-exploit-to-keep-your-print-servers-running-while-a-patch-is-not-available/>), this vulnerability can be mitigated by preventing the `SYSTEM` account from being able to modify the `C:\\Windows\\System32\\spool\\drivers` directory contents.\n\nTo enable this mitigation, from a privileged PowerShell session, run:\n \n \n $Path = \"C:\\Windows\\System32\\spool\\drivers\"\n $Acl = (Get-Item $Path).GetAccessControl('Access')\n $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(\"System\", \"Modify\", \"ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit\", \"None\", \"Deny\")\n $Acl.AddAccessRule($Ar)\n Set-Acl $Path $Acl\n \n\nTo revert the mitigation to allow printer driver installation or modification, run:\n \n \n $Path = \"C:\\Windows\\System32\\spool\\drivers\"\n $Acl = (Get-Item $Path).GetAccessControl('Access')\n $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(\"System\", \"Modify\", \"ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit\", \"None\", \"Deny\")\n $Acl.RemoveAccessRule($Ar)\n Set-Acl $Path $Acl\n \n\n#### Stop and disable the Print Spooler\n\nThe Print Spooler can be disabled in a privileged PowerShell session by running the following commands:\n \n \n Stop-Service -Name Spooler -Force\n Set-Service -Name Spooler -StartupType Disabled\n \n\n**Impact of workaround** Disabling the Print Spooler service disables the ability to print both locally and remotely.\n\n### Acknowledgements\n\nThis vulnerability was publicly disclosed by Benjamin Delpy.

"description": "I doubt if there has ever been a more appropriate nickname for a vulnerable service than PrintNightmare. There must be a whole host of people in Redmond having nightmares about the Windows Print Spooler service by now.\n\nPrintNightmare is the name of a set of vulnerabilities that allow a standard user on a Windows network to execute arbitrary code on an affected machine (including domain controllers) as SYSTEM, allowing them to elevate their privileges as far as domain admin. Users trigger the flaw by simply feeding a vulnerable machine a malicious printer driver. The problem was made worse by [confusion](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/07/patch-now-emergency-fix-for-printnightmare-released-by-microsoft/>) around whether PrintNightmare was a known, patched problem or an entirely new problem. In the end it turned out to be a bit of both.\n\n### What happened?\n\nIn June, Microsoft patched a vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler that was listed as [CVE-2021-1675](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-1675>). At first it was classified as an elevation of privilege (EoP) vulnerability. Which means that someone with limited access to a system could raise their privilege level, giving them more power over the affected system. This type of vulnerability is serious, especially when it is found in a widely used service like the Windows Print Spooler. A few weeks after the patch Microsoft raised the level of seriousness to a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability. RCE vulnerabilities allow a malicious actor to execute their code on a different machine on the same network.\n\nIn a rush to be the first to publish a proof-of-concept (PoC), researchers published a write-up and a demo exploit to demonstrate the vulnerability. Only to find out they had alerted the world to a new 0-day vulnerability by accident. This vulnerability listed as [CVE-2021-34527](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527>) was introduced under the name PrintNightmare.\n\nOminously, the researchers behind PrintNightmare predicted that the Print Spooler, which has seen its fair share of problems in the past, would be a fertile ground for further discoveries.\n\nAt the beginning of July, Microsoft issued a set of out-of-band patches to fix this Windows Print Spooler RCE vulnerability. Soon enough, several researchers figured out that local privilege escalation (LPE) still worked. This means that threat actors and already active malware can still exploit the vulnerability to gain SYSTEM privileges. In a demo, [Benjamin Delpy](<https://twitter.com/gentilkiwi>) showed that the update failed to fix vulnerable systems that use certain settings for a feature called Point and Print, which makes it easier for network users to obtain the printer drivers they need.\n\nOn July 13 the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued [Emergency Directive 21-04](<https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/21-04/>), \u201cMitigate Windows Print Spooler Service Vulnerability\u201d because it became aware of multiple threat actors exploiting PrintNightmare.\n\nAlso in July, [CrowdStrike](<https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/magniber-ransomware-caught-using-printnightmare-vulnerability/>) identified Magniber ransomware attempting to use a known PrintNightmare vulnerability to compromise victims.\n\n### An end to the nightmare?\n\nIn the August 10 [Patch Tuesday](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/printnightmare-and-rdp-rce-among-major-issues-tackled-by-patch-tuesday/>) update, the Print Spooler service was subject to _yet more_ patching, and Microsoft said that this time its patch should address all publicly documented security problems with the service.\n\nIn an unusual breaking change, one part of the update made admin rights required before using the Windows Point and Print feature.\n\n### Just one day later\n\nOn August 11, Microsoft released information about [CVE-2021-36958](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>), yet another 0-day that allows local attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges on a computer. Again, it was security researcher Benjamin Delpy who [demonstrated](<https://vimeo.com/581584478>) the vulnerability, showing that threat actors can still gain SYSTEM privileges simply by connecting to a remote print server.\n\n### Mitigation\n\nThe workaround offered by Microsoft is stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service, although at this point you may be seriously considering a revival of the paperless office idea. So:\n\n * Disable the Print Spooler service on machines that do not need it. Please note that stopping the service without disabling may not be enough.\n * For the systems that do need the Print Spooler service to be running make sure they are not exposed to the Internet.\n\nMicrosoft says it is investigating the vulnerability and working on (yet another) security update.\n\nLike I said [yesterday](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/printnightmare-and-rdp-rce-among-major-issues-tackled-by-patch-tuesday/>): To be continued.\n\nThe post [Microsoft&#x27;s PrintNightmare continues, shrugs off Patch Tuesday fixes](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/microsofts-printnightmare-continues-shrugs-off-patch-tuesday-fixes/>) appeared first on [Malwarebytes Labs](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com>).", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 8.8, "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "version": "3.1"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-08-12T11:30:26", "type": "malwarebytes", "title": "Microsoft\u2019s PrintNightmare continues, shrugs off Patch Tuesday fixes", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": true, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 9.3, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "acInsufInfo": false, "impactScore": 10.0, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-1675", "CVE-2021-34527", "CVE-2021-36958"], "modified": "2021-08-12T11:30:26", "id": "MALWAREBYTES:7F8FC685D6EFDE8FC4909FDA86D496A5", "href": "https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/microsofts-printnightmare-continues-shrugs-off-patch-tuesday-fixes/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2021-09-17T16:35:06", "description": "The September 2021 Patch Tuesday could be remembered as the _final_ patching attempt in the PrintNightmare\u2026 nightmare. The ease with which the vulnerabilities [shrugged off the August patches](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/microsofts-printnightmare-continues-shrugs-off-patch-tuesday-fixes/>) doesn\u2019t look to get a rerun. So far we haven\u2019t seen any indications that this patch is so easy to circumvent.\n\nThe total count of fixes for this Patch Tuesday tallies up to 86, including 26 for Microsoft Edge alone. Only a few of these vulnerabilities are listed as zero-days and two of them are &quot;old friends&quot;. There is a third, less-likely-to-be-exploited one, and then we get to introduce a whole new set of vulnerabilities nicknamed OMIGOD, for reasons that will become obvious.\n\nAzure was the subject of five CVE\u2019s, one of them listed as critical. The four that affect the Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) were found by researchers, grouped together and received the nickname OMIGOD.\n\n### PrintNightmare\n\nPrintNightmare is the name of a set of vulnerabilities that allow a standard user on a Windows network to execute arbitrary code on an affected machine (including domain controllers) as SYSTEM, allowing them to elevate their privileges as far as domain admin. Users trigger the flaw by simply feeding a malicious printer driver to a vulnerable machine, and could use their new-found superpowers to install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\n\nThe problem was made worse by significant [confusion](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/07/patch-now-emergency-fix-for-printnightmare-released-by-microsoft/>) about whether PrintNightmare was a known, patched problem or an entirely new problem, and by repeated, at best partially-successful, attempts to patch it.\n\nThis month, Microsoft patched the remaining Print Spooler vulnerabilities under [CVE-2021-36958](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-36958>). Fingers crossed.\n\n### MSHTML\n\nThis zero-day vulnerability that felt like a ghost from the past (it involved ActiveX, remember that?) was only [found last week](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/09/windows-mshtml-zero-day-actively-exploited-mitigations-required/>), but has attracted significant attention. It was listed as [CVE-2021-40444](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-40444>), a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Microsoft MSHTML. \n\nThreat actors were sharing PoCs, tutorials and exploits on hacking forums, so that every script kiddy and wannabe hacker was able to follow step-by-step instructions in order to launch their own attacks. Microsoft published mitigation instructions that disabled the installation of new ActiveX controls, but this turned out to be easy to work around for attackers.\n\nGiven the short window of opportunity, there was some doubt about whether a fix would be included in this Patch Tuesday, but it looks like Microsoft managed to pull it off.\n\n### DNS elevation of privilege vulnerability\n\nThis vulnerability was listed as [CVE-2021-36968](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36968>) and affects systems running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, SP2 and Windows 7 SP1. It exists due to an application that does not properly impose security restrictions in Windows DNS. The vulnerability is listed as a zero-day because it has been publicly disclosed, not because it is actively being exploited.\n\nMicrosoft says that exploitation is \u201cless likely\u201d, perhaps because it requires initial authentication and can only be exploited locally. If these conditions are met this bug can be used to accomplish elevation of privilege (EoP). \n\n### OMIGOD\n\nOMIGOD is the name for a set of four vulnerabilities in the Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) that you will find embedded in many popular Azure services. The CVEs are:\n\n * [CVE-2021-38647](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-38647>) OMI RCE Vulnerability with a [CVSS score](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/malwarebytes-news/2020/05/how-cvss-works-characterizing-and-scoring-vulnerabilities/>) of 9.8 out of 10.\n * [CVE-2021-38648](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-38648>) Open Management Infrastructure Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\n * [CVE-2021-38645](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-38645>) Open Management Infrastructure Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\n * [CVE-2021-38649](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-38649>) Open Management Infrastructure Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\n\nThe [researchers](<https://www.wiz.io/blog/secret-agent-exposes-azure-customers-to-unauthorized-code-execution>) that discovered the vulnerabilities consider OMIGOD to be a result of the supply-chain risks that come with using open-source code:\n\n> Wiz\u2019s research team recently discovered a series of alarming vulnerabilities that highlight the supply chain risk of open source code, particularly for customers of cloud computing services.\n\nOMI runs as root (the highest privilege level) and is activated within Azure when users enable certain services, like distributed logging, or other management tools and services. It&#x27;s likely that many users aren&#x27;t even aware they have it running.\n\nThe RCE vulnerability (CVE-2021-38647) can be exploited in situations where the OMI ports are accessible to the Internet to allow for remote management. In this configuration, any user can communicate with it using a UNIX socket or via an HTTP API, and any user can abuse it to remotely execute code or escalate privileges.\n\nA coding mistake means that any incoming request to the service _without_ an authorization header has its privileges default to uid=0, gid=0, which is root. \n \nOMIGOD, right?\n\nThe researchers report that the flaw can only be used to remotely takeover a target when OMI exposes the HTTPS management port externally. This is the default configuration when installed standalone and in Azure Configuration Management or System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). Other Azure services (such as Log Analytics) do not expose this port, so in those cases the scope is limited to local privilege escalation.\n\nThey advise all Azure customers to connect to their Azure VMs and run the commands below in their terminal to ensure OMI is updated to the latest version:\n\n * For Debian systems (e.g., Ubuntu): `dpkg -l omi`\n * For Redhat based system (e.g., Fedora, CentOS, RHEL): `rpm -qa omi`\n\nIf OMI isn\u2019t installed, the commands won&#x27;t return any results, and your machine isn\u2019t vulnerable. Version 1.6.8.1 is the patched version. All earlier versions need to be patched.\n\n## Update September 17, 2021\n\nAfter a proof-of-concept exploit was published on code hosting website GitHub, attackers we re noticed to be looking for Linux servers running on Microsoft\u2019s Azure cloud infrastructure. These systems are vulnerable to the security flaw called OMIGOD.\n\nAccording to reports from security researchers the attackers use the OMIGOD exploit, to deploy malware that ensnares the hacked server into cryptomining or DDoS botnets.\n\nThe post [[updated] Patch now!

Researchers from CrowdStrike warned in a [Wednesday report](<https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/magniber-ransomware-caught-using-printnightmare-vulnerability/>) that the operators of the Magniber ransomware quickly weaponized CVE-2021-34527 to attack users in South Korea, with attacks dating back to at least July 13. And Cisco Talos [said Thursday](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/08/vice-society-ransomware-printnightmare.html>) that the Vice Society gang was seen using CVE-2021-1675 and CVE-2021-34527 to spread laterally across a victim\u2019s network as part of a recent ransomware attack.\n\n\u201cIn technology, almost nothing ages gracefully,\u201d Chris Clements, vice president of solutions architecture and Cerberus security officer at Cerberus Sentinel, told Threatpost. \u201cThe Print Spooler in Windows is proving that rule. It\u2019s likely that the code has changed little in the past decades and likely still bears a striking resemblance to source code that was made public in previous Windows leaks. I\u2019ve heard it said that ransomware gangs might also be referred to as \u2018technical debt collectors,\u2019 which would be funnier if the people suffering most from these vulnerabilities weren\u2019t Microsoft\u2019s customers.\u201d\n\n[](<https://threatpost.com/infosec-insider-subscription-page/?utm_source=ART&utm_medium=ART&utm_campaign=InfosecInsiders_Newsletter_Promo/>)\n\nThe fresh zero-day bug, tracked as CVE-2021-36958, carries a CVSS vulnerability-severity scale rating of 7.3, meaning that it\u2019s rated as \u201cimportant.\u201d Microsoft said that it allows for a local attack vector requiring user interaction, but that the attack complexity is low, with few privileges required.\n\n\u201cA remote code-execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations,\u201d the computing giant explained in its [Wednesday advisory](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>). \u201cAn attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\u201d\n\nThe CERT Coordination Center actually flagged the issue in mid-July, when it warned that a [working exploit](<https://twitter.com/gentilkiwi/status/1416429860566847490>) was available. That proof-of-concept (PoC), issued by Mimikatz creator Benjamin Delpy, comes complete with a video.\n\n> Hey guys, I reported the vulnerability in Dec'20 but haven't disclosed details at MSRC's request. It looks like they acknowledged it today due to the recent events with print spooler.\n> \n> \u2014 Victor Mata (@offenseindepth) [August 11, 2021](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nOn Thursday, CERT/CC issued more details on the issue, explaining that it arises from an oversight in signature requirements around the \u201cPoint and Print\u201d capability, which allows users without administrative privileges to install printer drivers that execute with SYSTEM privileges via the Print Spooler service.\n\nWhile Microsoft requires that printers installable via Point are either signed by a WHQL release signature or by a trusted certificate, Windows printer drivers can specify queue-specific files that are associated with the use of the device, which leaves a loophole for malicious actors.\n\n\u201cFor example, a shared printer can specify a CopyFiles directive for arbitrary files,\u201d according to the CERT/CC [advisory](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/131152>). \u201cThese files, which may be copied over alongside the digital-signature-enforced printer driver files, are not covered by any signature requirement. Furthermore, these files can be used to overwrite any of the signature-verified files that were placed on a system during printer driver install. This can allow for local privilege escalation to SYSTEM on a vulnerable system.\u201d\n\nMicrosoft credited Victor Mata of FusionX at Accenture Security with originally reporting the issue, which Mata said occurred back in December 2020:\n\n> Hey guys, I reported the vulnerability in Dec\u201920 but haven\u2019t disclosed details at MSRC\u2019s request. It looks like they acknowledged it today due to the recent events with print spooler.\n> \n> \u2014 Victor Mata (@offenseindepth) [August 11, 2021](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nSo far, Microsoft hasn\u2019t seen any attacks in the wild using the bug, but it noted that exploitation is \u201cmore likely.\u201d With a working exploit in circulation, that seems a fair assessment.\n\n## **Print Spooler-Palooza and the PrintNightmare **\n\nDelpy characterized this latest zero-day as being part of the string of Print Spooler bugs collectively known as PrintNightmare.\n\nThe bad dream started in early July, when a PoC exploit for a bug tracked as CVE-2021-1675 was [dropped on GitHub](<https://threatpost.com/poc-exploit-windows-print-spooler-bug/167430/>). The flaw was originally addressed in [June\u2019s Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-patch-tuesday-in-the-wild-exploits/166724/>) from Microsoft as a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability, but the PoC showed that it\u2019s actually a critical Windows security vulnerability that can be used for RCE. That prompted Microsoft to issue a different CVE number \u2013 in this case, CVE-2021-34527 \u2013 to designate the RCE variant, and it prompted [an emergency partial patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>), too.\n\n\u201cThis vulnerability is similar but distinct from the vulnerability that is assigned CVE-2021-1675, which addresses a different vulnerability in RpcAddPrinterDriverEx(),\u201d the company wrote in the advisory at the time. \u201cThe attack vector is different as well. CVE-2021-1675 was addressed by the June 2021 security update.\u201d\n\nBoth bugs \u2013 which are really just variants of a single issue \u2013 are collectively known as PrintNightmare. The PrintNightmare umbrella expanded a bit later in July, when yet another, [similar bug was disclosed](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/>), tracked as CVE-2021-34481. It remained unpatched until it was finally addressed with [an update](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005652-manage-new-point-and-print-default-driver-installation-behavior-cve-2021-34481-873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872>) issued alongside the [August Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/exploited-windows-zero-day-patch/168539/>) (which itself detailed three additional Print Spooler vulnerabilities, one critical).\n\n## **How to Protect Systems from Print Spooler Attacks**\n\nAs mentioned, there\u2019s no patch yet for the bug, but users can protect themselves by simply stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service:\n\n\n\nSource: Microsoft.\n\nCERT/CC also said that since public exploits for Print Spooler attacks use the SMB file-sharing service for remote connectivity to a malicious shared printer, blocking outbound connections to SMB resources would thwart some attacks by blocking malicious SMB printers that are hosted outside of the network.\n\n\u201cHowever, Microsoft indicates that printers can be shared via the Web Point-and-Print Protocol, which may allow installation of arbitrary printer drivers without relying on SMB traffic,\u201d according to CERT/CC. \u201cAlso, an attacker local to your network would be able to share a printer via SMB, which would be unaffected by any outbound SMB traffic rules.\u201d\n\nIn its update advisory for CVE-2021-34481, Microsoft also detailed how to amend the default Point and Print functionality, which prevents non-administrator users from installing or updating printer drivers remotely and which could help mitigate the latest zero-day.\n\nWorried about where the next attack is coming from?

The \u201chacker summer camp\u201d conferences frequently also highlight attack surface area that may _not_ be net-new \u2014 but that is subjected to renewed and redoubled community interest coming out of Vegas week. See Rapid7\u2019s summaries [here](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/05/black-hat-recap-1/>) and [here](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/06/black-hat-recap-2/>).\n\nHere\u2019s the specific attack surface area and a few of the exploit chains we\u2019re keeping our eye on right now:\n\n * Orange Tsai stole the show (as always) at Black Hat with a talk on fresh **Microsoft Exchange** attack surface area. All in all, Orange discussed CVEs from [what appears to be four separate attack chains](<https://blog.orange.tw/2021/08/proxylogon-a-new-attack-surface-on-ms-exchange-part-1.html>) \u2014including the ProxyLogon exploit chain that made headlines when it hit exposed Exchange servers as a zero-day attack [back in March](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/03/03/mass-exploitation-of-exchange-server-zero-day-cves-what-you-need-to-know/>) and the \u201cProxyShell\u201d exploit chain, which debuted at Pwn2Own and targets three now-patched CVEs in Exchange. Exchange continues to be a critically important attack surface area, and defenders should keep patched on a top-priority or zero-day basis wherever possible.\n * Print spooler vulnerabilities continue to cause nightmares. DEF CON saw the release of new privilege escalation exploits for Windows Print Spooler, and Black Hat featured a talk by Sangfor Technologies researchers that chronicled both [new Windows Print Spooler vulnerabilities](<https://attackerkb.com/assessments/85a30c9a-e126-4ec0-bda4-d166e03c5390>) and past patch bypasses for vulns like CVE-2020-1048 (whose patch was bypassed three times). Given that many defenders are still trying to remediate the \u201cPrintNightmare\u201d vulnerability from several weeks ago, it\u2019s fair to say that Windows Print Spooler will remain an important attack surface area to prioritize in future Patch Tuesdays.\n * There\u2019s also a new vulnerability in Pulse Connect Secure VPNs that caught our attention \u2014 the vuln is actually a bypass for CVE-2020-8260, which came out last fall and evidently didn\u2019t completely fade away \u2014 despite the fact that it\u2019s authenticated and requires admin access. With CISA\u2019s warnings about APT attacks against Pulse Connect Secure devices, it\u2019s probably wise to patch CVE-2021-22937 quickly.\n * And finally, the SpecterOps crew gave a highly anticipated Black Hat talk on several new attack techniques that [abuse Active Directory Certificate Services](<https://posts.specterops.io/certified-pre-owned-d95910965cd2>) \u2014 something we covered previously in our summary of the [PetitPotam attack chain](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/03/petitpotam-novel-attack-chain-can-fully-compromise-windows-domains-running-ad-cs/>). This is neat research for red teams, and it may well show up on blue teams\u2019 pentest reports.\n\n### Microsoft Exchange ProxyShell chain\n\n**Patches:** Available \n**Threat status:** Possible threat (at least one report of exploitation in the wild)\n\nIt goes without saying that Microsoft Exchange is a high-value, popular attack surface that gets constant attention from threat actors and researchers alike. That attention is increasing yet again after prominent security researcher Orange Tsai gave a talk at Black Hat USA last week revealing details on an attack chain first demonstrated at Pwn2Own. The chain, dubbed \u201cProxyShell,\u201d allows an attacker to take over an unpatched Exchange server. ProxyShell is similar to ProxyLogon (i.e., [CVE-2021-26855](<https://attackerkb.com/assessments/a5c77ede-3824-4176-a955-d6cf9a6a7417>) and [CVE-2021-27065](<https://attackerkb.com/assessments/74177979-e2ef-4078-9f91-993964292cfa>)), which continues to be popular in targeted attacks and opportunistic scans despite the fact that it was patched in March 2021.\n\nTwo of the three vulnerabilities used for ProxyShell were patched in April by Microsoft and the third was patched in July. As of August 9, 2021, private exploits have already been developed, and it\u2019s probably only a matter of time before public exploit code is released, which may allow for broader exploitation of the vulns in this attack chain (in spite of its complexity!). Rapid7 estimates that there are, at least, nearly 75,000 ProxyShell-vulnerable exchange servers online:\n\n\n\nWe strongly recommend that Exchange admins confirm that updates have been applied appropriately; if you haven\u2019t patched yet, you should do so immediately on an emergency basis.\n\nOne gotcha when it comes to Exchange administration is that Microsoft only releases security fixes for the [most recent Cumulative Update versions](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/new-features/updates>), so it\u2019s vital to stay up to date with these quarterly releases in order to react quickly when new patches are published.\n\nProxyShell CVEs:\n\n * [CVE-2021-31207](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-31207>)\n * [CVE-2021-34473](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-34473>)\n * [CVE-2021-34523\u200b](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-34523>)\n\n### Windows Print Spooler \u2014 and more printer woes\n\n**Patches:** Varies by CVE, mostly available \n**Threat status:** Varies by CVE, active and impending\n\nThe Windows Print Spooler was the subject of renewed attention after the premature disclosure of the PrintNightmare vulnerability earlier this summer, followed by new Black Hat and DEF CON talks last week. Among the CVEs discussed were a quartet of 2020 vulns (three of which were bypasses descended from CVE-2020-1048, which has been exploited in the wild since last year), three new remote code execution vulnerabilities arising from memory corruption flaws, and two new local privilege escalation vulnerabilities highlighted by researcher [Jacob Baines](<https://twitter.com/Junior_Baines>). Of this last group, one vulnerability \u2014 CVE-2021-38085 \u2014 remains unpatched.\n\nOn August 11, 2021, Microsoft assigned [CVE-2021-36958](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>) to the latest Print Spooler remote code execution vulnerability which appears to require local system access and user interaction. Further details are limited at this time. However, as mitigation, Microsoft is continuing to recommend stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service. Even after this latest zero-day vulnerability is patched, we strongly recommend leaving the Print Spooler service disabled wherever possible.

As the list above demonstrates, patching print spooler and related vulns quickly and completely has been a challenge for Microsoft for the past year or so. The multi-step mitigations required for some vulnerabilities also give attackers an advantage. Defenders should harden printer setups wherever possible, including against malicious driver installation.\n\n### Pulse Connect Secure CVE-2021-22937\n\n**Patch:** Available \n**Threat status:** Impending (Exploitation expected soon)\n\nOn Monday, August 2, 2021, Ivanti published [Security Advisory SA44858](<https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Security_Advisories/SA44858>) which, among other fixes, includes a fix for CVE-2021-22937 for Pulse Connect Secure VPN Appliances running 9.1R11 or prior. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability, which carries a CVSSv3 score of 9.1, requires the use of an authenticated administrator account to achieve remote code execution (RCE) as user `root`.\n\nPublic proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code has not been released as of this writing. However, this vulnerability is simply a workaround for [CVE-2020-8260](<https://blog.rapid7.com/2021/08/12/popular-attack-surfaces-august-2021-what-you-need-to-know/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bhttps://attackerkb.com/topics/MToDzANCY4/cve-2020-8260?referrer=search#vuln-details>), an authentication bypass vulnerability that was heavily utilized by attackers, released in October 2020.\n\nThe Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been monitoring the [Exploitation of Pulse Connect Secure Vulnerabilities](<https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa21-110a>) demonstrating that attackers have been targeting Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure products for over a year. Due to attacker focus on Pulse Connect Secure products, and especially last year\u2019s CVE-2020-8260, Rapid7 recommends patching CVE-2021-22937 as soon as possible.\n\n### PetitPotam: Windows domain compromise\n\n**Patches:** Available \n**Threat status:** Threat (Exploited in the wild)\n\nIn July 2021, security researcher [Topotam](<https://github.com/topotam>) published a [PoC implementation](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam>) of a novel NTLM relay attack christened \u201cPetitPotam.\u201d The technique used in the PoC allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to completely take over a Windows domain with the Active Directory Certificate Service (AD CS) running \u2014 including domain controllers. Rapid7 researchers have tested public PoC code against a Windows domain controller setup and confirmed exploitability. One of our [senior researchers](<https://twitter.com/wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu>) summed it up with: &quot;This attack is too easy.&quot; You can read Rapid7\u2019s full blog post [here](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/03/petitpotam-novel-attack-chain-can-fully-compromise-windows-domains-running-ad-cs/>).\n\nOn August 10, 2021, Microsoft released a patch that addresses the PetitPotam NTLM relay attack vector in today's Patch Tuesday. Tracked as [CVE-2021-36942](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36942>), the August 2021 Patch Tuesday security update blocks the affected API calls [OpenEncryptedFileRawA](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfilerawa>) and [OpenEncryptedFileRawW](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfileraww>) through the LSARPC interface.

The families Trojan-Banker.Win32.Gozi (2.7%) and Trojan-Banker.Win32.Tinba (1.5%) have made it back into the Top 10 in Q3 \u2014 seventh and ninth places, respectively.\n\n## Ransomware programs\n\n### Quarterly trends and highlights\n\n#### Attack on Kaseya and the REvil story\n\nIn early July, the group REvil/Sodinokibi [attempted an attack](<https://securelist.com/revil-ransomware-attack-on-msp-companies/103075/>) on the remote administration software Kaseya VSA, compromising several managed services providers (MSP) who used this system. Thanks to this onslaught on the supply chain, the attackers were able to infect over one thousand of the compromised MSPs&#x27; client businesses. REvil&#x27;s original $70 million ransom demand in exchange for decryption of all the users hit by the attack was soon moderated to 50 million.\n\nFollowing this massive attack, law enforcement agencies stepped up their attention to REvil, so by mid-July the gang turned off their Trojan infrastructure, suspended new infections and dropped out of sight. Meanwhile, Kaseya got a universal decryptor for all those affected by the attack. [According to](<https://helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403440684689-Important-Notice-August-4th-2021>) Kaseya, it &quot;did not pay a ransom \u2014 either directly or indirectly through a third party&quot;. Later [it emerged](<https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/ransomware-fbi-revil-decryption-key/2021/09/21/4a9417d0-f15f-11eb-a452-4da5fe48582d_story.html>) that the company got the decryptor and the key from the FBI.\n\nBut already in the first half of September, REvil was up and running again. [According to](<https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/revil-ransomware-is-back-in-full-attack-mode-and-leaking-data/>) the hacking forum XSS, the group&#x27;s former public representative known as UNKN &quot;disappeared&quot;, and the malware developers, failing to find him, waited awhile and restored the Trojan infrastructure from backups.\n\n#### The arrival of BlackMatter: DarkSide restored?\n\nAs we already wrote in our Q2 report, the group DarkSide folded its operations after their &quot;too high-profile&quot; attack on Colonial Pipeline. And now there is a &quot;new&quot; arrival known as BlackMatter, which, as its members [claim](<https://therecord.media/an-interview-with-blackmatter-a-new-ransomware-group-thats-learning-from-the-mistakes-of-darkside-and-revil>), represents the &quot;best&quot; of DarkSide, REvil and LockBit.\n\nFrom our analysis of the BlackMatter Trojan&#x27;s executable we conclude that most likely it was built using DarkSide&#x27;s source codes.\n\n#### Q3 closures\n\n * Europol and the Ukrainian police have [arrested](<https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/ransomware-gang-arrested-in-ukraine-europol's-support>) two members of an unnamed ransomware gang. The only detail made known is that the ransom demands amounted to \u20ac5 to \u20ac70 million.\n * Following its attack on Washington DC&#x27;s Metropolitan Police Department, the group Babuk folded (or just suspended) its operations and published an archive containing the Trojan&#x27;s source code, build tools and keys for some of the victims.\n * At the end of August, Ragnarok (not to be confused with RagnarLocker) suddenly called it a day, deleted all their victims&#x27; info from their portal and published the master key for decryption. The group gave no reasons for this course of action.\n\n#### Exploitation of vulnerabilities and new attack methods\n\n * The group HelloKitty used to distribute its ransomware by exploiting the vulnerability CVE-2019-7481 in SonicWall gateways.\n * Magniber and Vice Society penetrated the target systems by exploiting the vulnerabilities from the PrintNightmare family (CVE-2021-1675, CVE-2021-34527, CVE-2021-36958).\n * The group LockFile exploited ProxyShell vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-34473, CVE-2021-34523, CVE-2021-31207) to penetrate the victim&#x27;s network; for lateral expansion they relied on the new PetitPotam attack that gained control of the domain controller.\n * The group Conti also used ProxyShell exploits for its attacks.\n\n### Number of new ransomware modifications\n\nIn Q3 2021, we detected 11 new ransomware families and 2,486 new modifications of this malware type.\n\n_Number of new ransomware modifications, Q3 2020 \u2014 Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23150433/03-en-ru-es-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\n## Number of users attacked by ransomware Trojans\n\nIn Q3 2021, Kaspersky products and technologies protected 108,323 users from ransomware attacks.\n\n_Number of unique users attacked by ransomware Trojans, Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23150459/04-en-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\n## Geography of ransomware attacks\n\n_Geography of attacks by ransomware Trojans, Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23150535/05-en-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\n**Top 10 countries attacked by ransomware Trojans**\n\n| **Country*** | **%**** \n---|---|--- \n1 | Bangladesh | 1.98 \n2 | Uzbekistan | 0.59 \n3 | Bolivia | 0.55 \n4 | Pakistan | 0.52 \n5 | Myanmar | 0.51 \n6 | China | 0.51 \n7 | Mozambique | 0.51 \n8 | Nepal | 0.48 \n9 | Indonesia | 0.47 \n10 | Egypt | 0.45 \n \n_* Excluded are countries with relatively few Kaspersky users (under 50,000). \n** Unique users attacked by ransomware Trojans as a percentage of all unique users of Kaspersky products in the country._\n\n## Top 10 most common families of ransomware Trojans\n\n| **Name** | **Verdicts** | **%*** \n---|---|---|--- \n1 | Stop/Djvu | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Stop | 27.67% \n2 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Crypren | 17.37% \n3 | WannaCry | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Wanna | 11.84% \n4 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Gen | 7.78% \n5 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Encoder | 5.58% \n6 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Phny | 5.57% \n7 | PolyRansom/VirLock | Virus.Win32.Polyransom / Trojan-Ransom.Win32.PolyRansom | 2.65% \n8 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Agent | 2.04% \n9 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.MSIL.Encoder | 1.07% \n10 | (generic verdict) | Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Crypmod | 1.04% \n \n_* Unique Kaspersky users attacked by this family of ransomware Trojans as a percentage of all users attacked by such malware._\n\n## Miners\n\n### Number of new miner modifications\n\nIn Q3 2021, Kaspersky solutions detected 46,097 new modifications of miners.\n\n_Number of new miner modifications, Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23150605/06-en-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\n### Number of users attacked by miners\n\nIn Q3, we detected attacks using miners on the computers of 322,131 unique users of Kaspersky products worldwide. And while during Q2 the number of attacked users gradually decreased, the trend was reversed in July and August 2021. With slightly over 140,000 unique users attacked by miners in July, the number of potential victims almost reached 150,000 in September.\n\n_Number of unique users attacked by miners, Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23150635/07-en-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\n### Geography of miner attacks\n\n_Geography of miner attacks, Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23150710/08-en-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\n**Top 10 countries attacked by miners**\n\n| **Country*** | **%**** \n---|---|--- \n1 | Ethiopia | 2.41 \n2 | Rwanda | 2.26 \n3 | Myanmar | 2.22 \n4 | Uzbekistan | 1.61 \n5 | Ecuador | 1.47 \n6 | Pakistan | 1.43 \n7 | Tanzania | 1.40 \n8 | Mozambique | 1.34 \n9 | Kazakhstan | 1.34 \n10 | Azerbaijan | 1.27 \n \n_* Excluded are countries with relatively few users of Kaspersky products (under 50,000). \n** Unique users attacked by miners as a percentage of all unique users of Kaspersky products in the country._\n\n## Vulnerable applications used by cybercriminals during cyberattacks\n\n### Quarter highlights\n\nMuch clamor was caused in Q3 by a whole new family of vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows printing subsystem, one already known to the media as PrintNightmare: [CVE-2021-1640](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-1640>), [CVE-2021-26878](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-26878>), [CVE-2021-1675](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-1675>), [CVE-2021-34527](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527>), [CVE-2021-36936](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36936>), [CVE-2021-36947](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36947>), [CVE-2021-34483](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34483>). All those vulnerabilities allow for local escalation of privileges or remote execution of commands with system rights and, as they require next to nothing for exploitation, they are often used by popular mass infection tools. To fix them, several Microsoft patches are required.\n\nThe vulnerability known as PetitPotam proved no less troublesome. It allows an unprivileged user to take control of a Windows domain computer \u2014 or even a domain controller \u2014 provided the Active Directory certificate service is present and active.\n\nIn the newest OS Windows 11, even before its official release, the vulnerability [CVE-2021-36934](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34483>) was detected and dubbed HiveNightmare/SeriousSam. It allows an unprivileged user to copy all the registry threads, including SAM, through the shadow copy mechanism, potentially exposing passwords and other critical data.\n\nIn Q3, attackers greatly favored exploits targeting the vulnerabilities ProxyToken, ProxyShell and ProxyOracle ([CVE-2021-31207](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-31207>), [CVE-2021-34473](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34473>), [CVE-2021-31207](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-31207>), [CVE-2021-33766](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-33766>), [CVE-2021-31195](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-31195>), [CVE-2021-31196](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-31196>)). If exploited in combination, these open full control of mail servers managed by Microsoft Exchange Server. We already covered [similar vulnerabilities](<https://securelist.com/zero-day-vulnerabilities-in-microsoft-exchange-server/101096/>) \u2014 for instance, they were used in a HAFNIUM attack, also targeting Microsoft Exchange Server.\n\nAs before, server attacks relying on brute-forcing of passwords to various network services, such as MS SQL, RDP, etc., stand out among Q3 2021 network threats. Attacks using the exploits EternalBlue, EternalRomance and similar are as popular as ever. Among the new ones is the grim vulnerability enabling remote code execution when processing the Object-Graph Navigation Language in the product Atlassian Confluence Server ([CVE-2021-26084](<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-67940>)) often used in various corporate environments. Also, Pulse Connect Secure was found to contain the vulnerability [CVE-2021-22937](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22937>), which however requires the administrator password for it to be exploited.\n\n### Statistics\n\nAs before, exploits for Microsoft Office vulnerabilities are still leading the pack in Q3 2021 (60,68%). These are popular due to the large body of users, most of whom still use older versions of the software, thus making the attackers&#x27; job much easier. The share of Microsoft Office exploits increased by almost 5 p.p. from the previous quarter. Among other things, it was due to the fact that the new vulnerability [CVE-2021-40444](<https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2021-40444>) was discovered in the wild, instantly employed to compromise user machines. The attacker can exploit it by using the standard functionality that allows office documents to download templates, implemented with the help of special ActiveX components. There is no proper validation of the processed data during the operation, so any malicious code can be downloaded. As you are reading this, the relevant security update is already available.\n\nThe way individual Microsoft Office vulnerabilities are ranked by the number of detections does not change much with time: the first positions are still shared by [CVE-2018-0802](<https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2018-0802>) and [CVE-2017-8570](<https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2017-8570>), with another popular vulnerability [CVE-2017-11882](<https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2017-11882>) not far behind. We already covered these many times \u2014 all the above-mentioned vulnerabilities execute commands on behalf of the user and infect the system.\n\n_Distribution of exploits used by cybercriminals, by type of attacked application, Q3 2021 ([download](<https://media.kasperskycontenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2021/11/23151038/09-en-malware-report-q3-2021-pc-graphs.png>))_\n\nThe share of exploits for the popular browsers fell by 3 p.p. from the previous reporting period to 25.57% in Q3. In the three months covered by the report several vulnerabilities were discovered in Google Chrome browser and its script engine V8 \u2014 some of them in the wild. Among these, the following JavaScript engine vulnerabilities stand out: [CVE-2021-30563](<https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2021/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html>) (type confusion error corrupting the heap memory), [CVE-2021-30632](<https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2021/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html>) (out-of-bounds write in V8) and [CVE-2021-30633](<https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2021/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html>) (use-after-free in Indexed DB). All these can potentially allow remote execution of code. But it should be remembered that for modern browsers a chain of several exploits is often required to leave the sandbox and secure broader privileges in the system. It should also be noted that with Google Chromium codebase (in particular the Blink component and V8) being used in many browsers, any newly detected Google Chrome vulnerability automatically makes other browsers built with its open codebase vulnerable.\n\nThe third place if held by Google Android vulnerabilities (5.36%) \u2014 1 p.p. down from the previous period. They are followed by exploits for Adobe Flash (3.41%), their share gradually decreasing. The platform is no longer supported but is still favored by users, which is reflected in our statistics.\n\nOur ranking is rounded out by vulnerabilities for Java (2.98%), its share also noticeably lower, and Adobe PDF (1.98%).\n\n## Attacks on macOS\n\nWe will remember Q3 2021 for the two interesting revelations. The first one is the use of [malware code targeting macOS](<https://securelist.com/wildpressure-targets-macos/103072/>) as part of the WildPressure campaign. The second is the detailed [review of the previously unknown FinSpy implants](<https://securelist.com/finspy-unseen-findings/104322/>) for macOS.\n\nSpeaking of the most widespread threats detected by Kaspersky security solutions for macOS, most of our Top 20 ranking positions are occupied by various adware apps.
