CVE-2022-22954 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability using server-side template injection to target VMware Workspace ONE Access and Identity Manager. It can be easily exploited with a single HTTP request to a vulnerable device and was seen delivering various payloads including coinminers, Perl Shellbots, Scanning/Callbacks, and Webshells. CVE-2022-22954 is also being exploited to drop variants of the Mirai/Gafgyt, and in the case of the observed Enemybot variant, final payloads themselves embed CVE-2022-22954 exploits for further exploitation and propagation.<br/> <b>Analyst Comment:</b> Update impacted VMware products to the latest version or remove impacted versions from organizational networks. If a compromise is detected, immediately isolate affected systems, collect relevant logs and artifacts, and consider incident response services.<br/> <b>MITRE ATT&CK: </b> <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947138" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Exploit Public-Facing Application - T1190</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3904527" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Ingress Tool Transfer - T1105</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3906161" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Command and Scripting Interpreter - T1059</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947222" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Account Manipulation - T1098</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947235" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Obfuscated Files or Information - T1027</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947136" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information - T1140</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/2402525" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Resource Hijacking - T1496</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/2402530" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Network Denial of Service - T1498</a><br/> <b>Tags:</b> VMware, Perl Shellbot, Stealth Shellbot, Godzilla Webshell, Gafgyt, Mirai, XMRig, Coinminer, CVE-2022-22958, CVE-2022-22959, CVE-2022-22960, CVE-2017-17215, CVE-2022-22961, CVE-2022-22954, CVE-2022-22955, CVE-2022-22956, CVE-2022-22957, CVE-2022-22973, CVE-2022-22972, Linux, Server-side template injection, RCE</p> </div> <div class="trending-threat-article"> <h3><a href="https://www.advintel.io/post/discontinued-the-end-of-conti-s-brand-marks-new-chapter-for-cybercrime-landscape" target="_blank">DisCONTInued: The End of Conti’s Brand Marks New Chapter For Cybercrime Landscape</a></h3> <p>(published: May 20, 2022)</p> <p>Advanced Intel researchers report that Conti ransomware group (Wizard Spider) is in the long-planned process of discontinuing its brand and has turned off its infrastructure including their negotiations service site and the admin panel of the Conti official website. The attack on Costa Rica was intentionally causing publicity for Conti, giving them an excuse for the planned exit. Conti is morphing into a horizontal network of loosely connected groups acting either independently or inside other ransomware groups. Some groups move completely into data-stealing operations without using crypters (lockers): BlackBasta, BlackByte, and Karakurt. Some groups become Conti-loyal collective affiliates within other ransomware groups (AlphV/BlackCat, AvosLocker, HelloKitty/FiveHands, and HIVE). And some groups completely assume existing small-brand ransomware operations.<br/> <b>Analyst Comment:</b> The threat to organizations remains high because after a period of inactivity these actors are expected to resurface again with renewed tools and infrastructure. It is a common tactic for ransomware groups to rebrand after coming into a law enforcement spotlight. If Lapsus$ and many ex-Conti ransom groups indeed rely solely on information theft, protecting sensitive information becomes even more crucial.<br/> <b>MITRE ATT&CK: </b> <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/2402531" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Data Encrypted for Impact - T1486</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3904494" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Exfiltration Over C2 Channel - T1041</a><br/> <b>Tags:</b> Conti, Conti ransomware, Ryuk, HelloKitty, Hive, BlackCat, AvosLocker, BlackBasta, BlackByte, Karakurt, Wizard Spider, Ransomware, Data exfiltration, Government, USA, target-country:US, Costa Rica, target-country:CR, Russia, source-country:RU</p> </div> <div class="trending-threat-article"> <h3><a href="https://6068438.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6068438/fronton-report.pdf" target="_blank">Fronton: A Botnet for Creation, Command, and Control of Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior</a></h3> <p>(published: May 19, 2022)</p> <p>Nisos researchers discovered that the Fronton botnet developed for the Russian government can run social media influencing campaigns. In 2020, when the project documents started leaking, it was thought that Fronton was focused on DDoS capabilities. New data shows Fronton and its web-based dashboard SANA give capabilities to managed bots to promote certain informational campaigns on social media. The system allows for creation of fake users with set time-based and social activity and then make coordinated reaction to a certain news: varied by activity type (comment, like, repost), comments could be positive or negative, and based on a chosen style/template. The leaked materials showed that the Fronton/SANA system was initially tried targeting Kazakhstan, but the scope of its current use is not known.<br/> <b>Analyst Comment:</b> Change the default credentials on your Internet of things (IoT) devices.

First discovered in 2014, the XorDdos Linux trojan has been observed to have increased its activity 254% in the last six months. XorDdos is known for its XOR-based encryption and for primary use for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, but it steals sensitive data and can potentially serve as a gateway for other malware. XorDdos spreads via SSH brute force attacks and employs a number of stealthiness and anti-analysis methods: daemon process, process hiding, process name spoofing, and other.<br/> <b>Analyst Comment:</b> Follow best password practices to make brute force attacks less dangerous, targeted devices can show an uptick in failed sign-ins. Organizations should implement endpoint detection and response (EDR) that will protect their Linux OS. Special focus can be on the use of a malicious shell script for initial access and drop-and-execution of binaries from a world-writable location.<br/> <b>MITRE ATT&CK: </b> <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947231" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Valid Accounts - T1078</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3906161" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Command and Scripting Interpreter - T1059</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947127" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Scheduled Task - T1053</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3904527" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Ingress Tool Transfer - T1105</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947092" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Rootkit - T1014</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947235" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Obfuscated Files or Information - T1027</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947136" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information - T1140</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3905776" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Hide Artifacts - T1564</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3905040" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Create or Modify System Process - T1543</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3905768" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Boot or Logon Autostart Execution - T1547</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/947194" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Indicator Removal on Host - T1070</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/3904494" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Exfiltration Over C2 Channel - T1041</a> | <a href="https://ui.threatstream.com/ttp/2402529" target="_blank">[MITRE ATT&CK] Endpoint Denial of Service - T1499</a><br/> <b>Tags:</b> XorDdos, XMRig, Tsunami, IoT, Cloud, DDoS, SSH, Brute force, Detection evasion, Daemon process, Process name spoofing, Process hiding, Persistence, Linux</p> </div> <div class="trending-threat-article"> <h3><a href="https://research.checkpoint.com/2022/twisted-panda-chinese-apt-espionage-operation-against-russians-state-owned-defense-institutes/" target="_blank">Twisted Panda: Chinese APT Espionage Operation Against Russian’s State-Owned Defense Institutes</a></h3> <p>(published: May 19, 2022)</p> <p>Checkpoint researchers discovered a novel malware named Spinner that was used in two China-sponsored, cyberespionage campaigns targeting state-owned defense institutes in Russia, and to a lesser extent, in Belarus. Observed phishing lures and decoy documents were themed around Russian government documents with topics such as government awards, Ukraine-related sanction lists, and even bioweapon allegations. The actors significantly improved their tactics between their first campaign (June 2021) and their second (March-April 2022). These improvements include splitting some functions between several components, adding complex compiler-level obfuscations to existing shellcode, and dynamic API resolving with name hashing.<br/> <b>Analyst Comment:</b> Defense-in-depth (fail-safe defense processes, layering of security mechanisms, redundancy) is the best way to ensure safety from advanced persistent threats (APTs), including a focus on both network and host-based security. Prevention and detection capabilities should also be in place.

Researchers were able to analyze Conti intrusion servers and to profile Conti’s hash-cracking station operation, cold-call center they use to additionally scare victims into paying the ransom. The details regarding their tools, virtual private network (VPN), and beacon configurations were also analyzed. While being flexible on intrusion techniques, first steps of the infection chain often contain QBot infection followed by System BC proxy malware and a Cobalt Strike beacon. Observed customizable Cobalt strike beacons were generated for each team on a daily basis, mostly sharing the same data center for command-and-control (C2) communication: ReliableSite (USA).<br/> <b>Analyst Comment:</b> Defenders should block the observed indicators of compromise (available in ThreatStream and Match).

Their primary activities involve the development and administration of Trickbot, Conti, Diavol, and Ryuk malware families. Wizard Spider targets large organizations for a high-ransom return. This is a technique known as big game hunting (or BGH). Their main tool, Trickbot, is a banking trojan that harvests financial credentials and Personal Identifiable Information (PII). While phishing is the main method of malware propagation, other methods such as exposed RDP services are seeing an increase in use. Known associated groups are: Grim Spider - A group that has been operating Ryuk ransomware since August 2018; reported to be a cell of Wizard Spider, and Lunar Spider - This threat group is the Eastern European-based operator and developer of the commodity banking malware called BokBot (aka IcedID).
