 explanation = The following analytic uses a pretrained machine learning text classifier to detect potentially risky commands. The model is trained independently and then the model file is packaged within ESCU for usage. A command is deemed risky based on the presence of certain trigger keywords, along with the context and the role of the user (please see references). The model uses custom features to predict whether a SPL is risky using text classification. The model takes as input the command text, user and search type and outputs a risk score between [0,1]. A high score indicates higher likelihood of a command being risky. This model is on-prem only.
 how_to_implement = This detection depends on the MLTK app which can be found here - https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2890/ and the Splunk Audit datamodel which can be found here - https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1621/. Additionally, you need to be ingesting logs which include Search_Activity.search, Search_Activity.user, Search_Activity.search_type from your endpoints. The risk score threshold should be adjusted based on the environment. The detection uses a custom MLTK model hence we need a few more steps for deployment, as outlined here - https://gist.github.com/ksharad-splunk/be2a62227966049047f5e5c4f2adcabb.

This warning appears when you click a link or type a URL that loads a search that contains risky commands. The warning does not appear when you create ad hoc searches. This warning alerts you to the possibility of unauthorized actions by a malicious user. Unauthorized actions include - Copying or transferring data (data exfiltration), Deleting data and Overwriting data. All risky commands may be found here https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/SPLsafeguards#Commands_that_trigger_the_warninga. A possible scenario when this might occur is when a malicious actor creates a search that includes commands that exfiltrate or damage data. The malicious actor then sends an unsuspecting user a link to the search. The URL contains a query string (q) and a search identifier (sid), but the sid is not valid. The malicious actor hopes the user will use the link and the search will run. During analysis, pivot based on user name and filter any user or queries not needed. Queries ran from a dashboard are seen as adhoc queries. When a query runs from a dashboard it will not show in audittrail logs the source dashboard name.

These suspicious processes include "whoami", "ping", "iptables", "wget", "service", and "curl". Uses the Splunk data model "Endpoint.Processes" and filters the results to only include systems categorized as web servers. This detection is important because it indicates unauthorized or malicious activity on web servers since these processes are commonly used by attackers to perform reconnaissance, establish persistence, or exfiltrate data from compromised systems. The impact of such an attack can be significant, ranging from data theft to the deployment of additional malicious payloads, potentially leading to ransomware or other damaging outcomes. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of these processes on web servers can trigger the analytic. Next steps include triaging and investigating to determine the legitimacy of the activity. Also, review the source and command of the suspicious process. You must also examine any relevant on-disk artifacts and look for concurrent processes to identify the source of the attack.

Identifies events where the `user.username` is set to "system:anonymous", the `verb` is set to "list", and the `objectRef.resource` is set to "pods". Additionally, the search checks if the `requestURI` is equal to "/api/v1/pods". Analyzing these events helps you to identify any unauthorized access attempts to the Kubernetes' Pods API. Unauthenticated requests can indicate potential security breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive resources within the Kubernetes environment. The detection is important because unauthorized access to Kubernetes' Pods API can lead to the compromise of sensitive data, unauthorized execution of commands, or even the potential for lateral movement within the Kubernetes cluster. False positives might occur since there might be legitimate use cases for unauthenticated requests in certain scenarios. Therefore, you must review and validate any detected events before taking any action.  Next steps include investigating the incident to mitigate any ongoing threats, and strengthening the security measures to prevent future unauthorized access attempts.

 explanation = This detection rule monitors for the creation of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) access keys. An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions. This hunting query identifies when a potentially compromised user creates a IAM access key for another user who may have higher privilleges, which can be a sign for privilege escalation.

 explanation = This detection rule monitors for the creation of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) access keys. An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions. This hunting query identifies when a potentially compromised user creates a IAM access key for another user who may have higher privilleges, which can be a sign for privilege escalation. Hunting queries are designed to be executed manual during threat hunting.

It identifies a notable increase in failed authentication attempts across a variety of unique user-and-IP address combinations, originating from multiple source IP addresses and countries, and employing different user agents. Such patterns suggest an adversary's attempt to bypass security controls by using a range of IP addresses to test commonly used passwords against numerous user accounts. The detection scrutinizes SignInLogs from Azure AD logs, particularly focusing on events with error code 50126, which signals a failed authentication due to incorrect credentials. By collating data over a five-minute interval, the analytic computes the distinct counts of user-and-IP combinations, unique users, source IPs, and countries. It then applies a set of thresholds to these metrics to pinpoint unusual activities that could indicate a coordinated attack effort. The thresholds set within the analytic (such as unique IPs, unique users, etc.) are initial guidelines and should be customized based on the organization's user behavior and risk profile. Recognizing this behavior is vital for security operations centers (SOCs) as distributed password spraying represents a more complex form of traditional password spraying. Attackers distribute the source of their attempts to evade detection mechanisms that typically monitor for single-source IP anomalies. Prompt detection of such distributed activities is essential to thwart unauthorized access attempts, prevent account compromises, and mitigate the risk of further malicious activities within the organization's network. A true positive alert from this analytic suggests an active distributed password spraying attack against the organization's Azure AD tenant. A successful attack could result in unauthorized access, particularly to accounts with elevated privileges, leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, persistent threats, and lateral movement within the organization's infrastructure.

It triggers when a single user account is involved in more than 8 authentication attempts, using 3 or more unique application IDs and more than 5 unique user agents within a short timeframe. This pattern is atypical for regular user behavior and may indicate an adversary's attempt to probe the environment, testing for multi-factor authentication requirements across different applications and platforms. The detection is based on analysis of Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture. If validated as a true positive, this detection points to a compromised account, signaling that an attacker is actively attempting to navigate security controls to maintain access and potentially escalate privileges.

It monitors the 'Add service principal' operation, focusing on the activity of service principals rather than individual users. By aggregating the creation events over a 10-minute period, the analytic tracks how many distinct OAuth applications are created by each service principal. This is key for SOC teams to pinpoint potential attack staging, where an attacker might use a compromised or malicious service principal to rapidly establish multiple service principals, facilitating network infiltration or expansion.

While adding a new MFA method can be a routine and legitimate action, it can also be indicative of an attacker's attempt to maintain persistence on a compromised account. By registering a new MFA method, attackers can potentially bypass existing security measures, allowing them to authenticate using stolen credentials without raising alarms. Monitoring for such changes is crucial, especially if the addition is not preceded by a user request or if it deviates from typical user behavior. If an attacker successfully registers a new MFA method on a compromised account, they can solidify their access, making it harder for legitimate users to regain control. The attacker can then operate with the privileges of the compromised account, potentially accessing sensitive data, making unauthorized changes, or even escalating their privileges further. Immediate action would be required to verify the legitimacy of the MFA change and, if malicious, to remediate and secure the affected account.

 explanation = The following analytic identifies instances where admin consent is granted to an application within an Azure AD tenant. It leverages Azure AD audit logs, specifically events related to the admin consent action within the ApplicationManagement category. The admin consent action allows applications to access data across the entire tenant, potentially encompassing a vast amount of organizational data. Given its broad scope and the sensitivity of some permissions that can only be granted via admin consent, it's crucial to monitor this action. Unauthorized or inadvertent granting of admin consent can lead to significant security risks, including data breaches, unauthorized data access, and potential compliance violations. If an attacker successfully tricks an administrator into granting admin consent to a malicious or compromised application, they can gain extensive and persistent access to organizational data. This can lead to data exfiltration, espionage, further malicious activities within the tenant, and potential breaches of compliance regulations

This suggests that the application has exhibited behaviors or characteristics that are commonly associated with malicious intent or poses a security risk. This detection leverages the Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to user consent actions and system-driven blocks. By filtering for blocked consent actions associated with applications, the analytic highlights instances where Azure's built-in security measures have intervened. Applications that are flagged and blocked by Azure typically exhibit suspicious characteristics or behaviors. Monitoring for these blocked consent attempts helps security teams identify potential threats early on and can provide insights into users who might be targeted or susceptible to such risky applications. It's an essential layer of defense in ensuring that malicious or risky applications don't gain access to organizational data. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that the built-in security measures of O365 successfully prevented a potentially harmful application from gaining access. However, the attempt itself suggests that either a user might be targeted or that there's a presence of malicious applications trying to infiltrate the organization. Immediate investigation is required to understand the context of the block and to take further preventive measures.

 explanation = The following analytic identifies instances where a user has actively denied consent to an OAuth application seeking permissions within the Azure AD environment. This suggests that the user either recognized something suspicious about the application or chose not to grant it the requested permissions for other reasons. This detection leverages the Azure AD's audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to user consent actions. By filtering for denied consent actions associated with OAuth applications, the analytic captures instances where users have actively rejected permission requests. While user-denied consents can be routine, they can also be indicative of users spotting potentially suspicious or unfamiliar applications. By monitoring these denied consent attempts, security teams can gain insights into applications that might be perceived as risky or untrusted by users. It can also serve as a feedback loop for security awareness training, indicating that users are being cautious about granting permissions. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user has actively prevented an OAuth application from gaining the permissions it requested. While this is a proactive security measure on the user's part, it's essential for security teams to review the context of the denial. Understanding why certain applications are being denied can help in refining application whitelisting policies and ensuring that no malicious applications are attempting to gain access.

A new Azure AD tenant will initially contain a single domain that is commonly called the `cloud-only` onmicrosoft.com domain. Organizations can also add their registered custom domains to Azure AD for email addresses to match the organizations domain name. If the organization intends to use a third-party identity provider such as ADFS for authentication, the added custom domains can be configured as federated.

The query retrieves the earliest and latest timestamps of each command run and groups the results by the user and command.

The lookup table contains information about previously seen cloud API calls for each user role, including the first time the command was seen and whether enough data is available for analysis. If the firstTimeSeenUserApiCall field is null or greater than the relative time of 24 hours ago, it indicates that the command is new and was not seen before. The final result table includes the firstTime, user, object, and command fields of the new commands. It also applies the security_content_ctime function to format the timestamps and applies a filter to remove any cloud API calls from previously unseen user roles.

 explanation = The following analytic is made by first searching for logs that contain the action "create" and renames certain fields for easier analysis. Then, this analytic uses the "stats" command to calculate the first and last occurrence of the alert based on the timestamp. The fields included in the output are the action, affected package name, affected range, created date, external identifier, external reference, fixed version, severity, repository, repository URL, and user. The "phase" field is set to "code" to indicate that the alert pertains to code-related issues. The detection is important because dependabot Alerts can indicate vulnerabilities in the codebase that can be exploited by attackers. Detecting and investigating these alerts can help a SOC to proactively address security risks and prevent potential breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive information. False positives might occur since there are legitimate actions that trigger the "create" action or if other factors exist that can generate similar log entries. Next steps include reviewing the details of the alert, such as the affected package, severity, and fixed version to determine the appropriate response and mitigation steps.

The detection is made by using a Splunk query to search for pull requests in the `check_suite.pull_requests` field where the `id` is not specified. Next, the analytic retrieves information such as the author's name, the repository's full name, the head reference of the pull request, and the commit message from the `check_suite.head_commit` field. The analytic also includes a step to exclude known users by using the `github_known_users` lookup table, which helps to filter out pull requests from known users and focus on the pull requests from unknown users. The detection is important because it locates potential malicious activity or unauthorized access since unknown users can introduce malicious code or gain unauthorized access to repositories leading to unauthorized code changes, data breaches, or other security incidents. Next steps include reviewing the author's name, the repository involved, the head reference of the pull request, and the commit message upon triage of a potential pull request from an unknown user.

To implement this detection rule, you need to install and configure Falco in your Kubernetes environment. Once Falco is set up, it will monitor the system calls in your Kubernetes infrastructure and generate logs for any suspicious activity. These logs are then ingested by Splunk for analysis. Use the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes to collect the logs.

Monitoring for changes to critical security settings like the "risk-based step-up consent" is vital for maintaining the integrity of an organization's security posture. Disabling this feature can make the environment more susceptible to OAuth phishing attacks, where attackers trick users into granting permissions to malicious applications. Identifying when this setting is disabled can help blue teams to quickly respond, investigate, and potentially uncover targeted phishing campaigns against their users. If an attacker successfully disables the "risk-based step-up consent" and subsequently launches an OAuth phishing campaign, they could gain unauthorized access to user data and other sensitive information within the M365 environment.

By monitoring these logs, the analytic captures and alerts on any addition of new trusted IPs. Adding trusted IPs to bypass MFA is a significant security concern. While there might be legitimate reasons to add trusted IPs, such as for a new office location, there's also a risk of attackers or malicious insiders using this to facilitate unauthorized access. Monitoring for changes to the trusted IP list helps ensure that any attempt to bypass MFA is legitimate and authorized. If the detection is a true positive, it suggests that users logging in from the newly added trusted IP can bypass MFA, potentially weakening the security posture of the organization.

 explanation = This analytic identifies instances where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is disabled for a user within the Office 365 environment. Disabling MFA removes a critical security layer, making accounts more vulnerable to unauthorized access. The detection leverages O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to MFA settings. By monitoring these logs, the analytic captures and alerts on any actions that result in the deactivation or disabling of MFA for a user. MFA is a cornerstone of modern security practices, providing an additional layer of protection beyond just a password. Disabling MFA, especially without a valid reason, poses a significant security risk. Attackers, after gaining initial access to an account, might disable MFA to ensure easier re-entry and persistence. Monitoring for such changes is crucial to detect potential security breaches and to ensure that security best practices are consistently applied. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user's account is now at increased risk of unauthorized access, as the added security layer of MFA has been removed. This could be a sign of an attacker trying to maintain persistence or an insider threat. Immediate investigation is required to validate the reason for disabling MFA, potentially re-enable it, and assess any other suspicious activities related to the affected account.

This could be indicative of an attacker attempting to brute force or guess the password for that particular user account. It leverages the O365 Unified Audit Logs, specifically the "UserLoginFailed" events. By monitoring the frequency and volume of these events for individual users, the analytic can flag accounts that exceed the set threshold of failed attempts within the defined timeframe. Multiple failed login attempts in a short period can be a strong indicator of malicious activity. While there could be benign reasons, such as a user forgetting their password, the rapid succession of failed attempts is often a sign of an attacker trying to gain unauthorized access. By detecting and alerting on this behavior, the SOC can quickly investigate and take appropriate action, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages. Given that environments differ across organizations, security teams should consider customizing the threshold of this detection to better suit their specific needs and risk profile. If an attacker successfully guesses or brute-forces a user's password after numerous attempts, they can gain unauthorized access to the O365 environment.

If an attacker successfully registers a new MFA method on a compromised account, they can solidify their access, making it harder for legitimate users to regain control. The attacker can then operate with the privileges of the compromised account, potentially accessing sensitive data, making unauthorized changes, or even escalating their privileges further. Immediate action would be required to verify the legitimacy of the MFA change and, if malicious, to remediate and secure the affected account.

 explanation = This analytic identifies instances where potentially suspicious rights are delegated within the Office 365 environment. Specifically, it detects when a user is granted FullAccess, SendAs, or SendOnBehalf permissions on another user's mailbox. Such permissions can allow a user to access, send emails from, or send emails on behalf of the target mailbox. The detection leverages O365 audit logs, focusing on the Add-MailboxPermission operation. By parsing the parameters of this operation, the analytic filters for events where FullAccess, SendAs, or SendOnBehalf rights are granted. It then aggregates this data to capture the source user (who was granted the permissions), the destination user (whose mailbox was affected), the specific operation, and the type of access rights granted. Delegating mailbox rights, especially those as powerful as FullAccess, can pose significant security risks. While there are legitimate scenarios for these permissions, such as an executive assistant needing access to an executive's mailbox, there are also malicious scenarios where an attacker or a compromised insider might grant themselves unauthorized access to sensitive mailboxes. Monitoring for these permissions changes is crucial to detect potential insider threats, compromised accounts, or other malicious activities.If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user has been granted potentially high-risk permissions on another user's mailbox.

 explanation = The following analytic detects when multiple users have configured a forwarding rule to the same destination to proactively identify and investigate potential security risks related to email forwarding and take appropriate actions to protect the organization's data and prevent unauthorized access or data breaches. This detection is made by a Splunk query to O365 management activity logs with the operation `Set-Mailbox` to gather information about mailbox configurations. Then, the query uses the `spath` function to extract the parameters and rename the "Identity" field as "src_user" and searches for entries where the "ForwardingSmtpAddress" field is not empty, which indicates the presence of a forwarding rule. Next, the analytic uses the `stats` command to group the results by the forwarding email address and count the number of unique source users (`src_user`). Finally, it filters the results and only retains entries where the count of source users (`count_src_user`) is greater than 1, which indicates that multiple users have set up forwarding rules to the same destination. This detection is important because it suggests that multiple users are forwarding emails to the same destination without proper authorization, which can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, loss of data control, or unauthorized access to confidential emails. Investigating and addressing this issue promptly can help prevent data breaches and mitigate potential damage.indicates a potential security risk since multiple users forwarding emails to the same destination can be a sign of unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or a compromised account.

False positives can occur if there are legitimate reasons for multiple users to forward emails to the same destination, such as a shared mailbox or a team collaboration scenario.

This suggests that the application has exhibited behaviors or characteristics that are commonly associated with malicious intent or poses a security risk. This detection leverages the O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to user consent actions and system-driven blocks. By filtering for blocked consent actions associated with applications, the analytic highlights instances where O365's built-in security measures have intervened. Applications that are flagged and blocked by O365 typically exhibit suspicious characteristics or behaviors. Monitoring for these blocked consent attempts helps security teams identify potential threats early on and can provide insights into users who might be targeted or susceptible to such risky applications. It's an essential layer of defense in ensuring that malicious or risky applications don't gain access to organizational data. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that the built-in security measures of O365 successfully prevented a potentially harmful application from gaining access.

 explanation = The following analytic detects a specific type of vulnerability known as a heap-based buffer overflow in the sudoedit command, commonly referred to as Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156. The detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for instances of the sudoedit command with the "-s" flag followed by a double quote. This combination of parameters is indicative of the vulnerability being exploited. The detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to exploit the Baron Samedit vulnerability. The Baron Samedit vulnerability allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges on a Linux system and run arbitrary code with root privileges, potentially leading to complete control over the affected system. The impact of a successful attack can be severe since it allows the attacker to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems. This can result in data breaches, unauthorized modifications, or even complete system compromise. Next steps include being aware of this vulnerability and actively monitoring any attempts to exploit it. By detecting and responding to such attacks in a timely manner, you can prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by the heap-based buffer overflow of sudoedit.

It is often the case that a particular threat is only applicable to a specific subset of systems in your environment. Typically analytics to detect those threats are written without the benefit of being able to only target those systems as well. Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers. A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously. If this theory is run against all publicly facing systems, the amount of noise it will generate will likely render this theory untenable. However, using the asset information to limit this analytic to just the Exchange servers will reduce the noise allowing the hunter to focus only on the systems where this behavioral change is relevant.

This detection is made by using the Splunk query `wineventlog_security` EventCode=4720 OR (EventCode=4732 Group_Name=Administrators) to search for relevant security events in the Windows event log. When a new account is created or an existing account is added to the Administrators group, this analytic identifies this behavior by looking for EventCode 4720 (A user account was created) or EventCode 4732 (A member was added to a security-enabled global group). This analytic specifically focuses on events where the Group_Name is set to Administrators. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker has gained elevated privileges and can perform malicious actions with administrative access. This can lead to significant impact, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, unauthorized modifications to systems or configurations, and potential disruption of critical services. identifying this behavior is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC). Next steps include reviewing the details of the security event, including the user account that was created or added to the Administrators group. Also, examine the time span between the first and last occurrence of the event to determine if the behavior is ongoing. Additionally, consider any contextual information, such as the destination where the account was created or added to understand the scope and potential impact of the attack.

 explanation = The following analytic uses a pre-trained Deep Learning model to predict whether a processname is suspicious or not. Malwares and malicious programs such as ransomware often use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) such as copying malicious files to the local machine to propagate themselves across the network. A key indicator of compromise is that after a successful execution of the malware, it copies itself as an executable file with a randomly generated filename and places this file in one of the directories. Such techniques are seen in several malwares such as TrickBot. We develop machine learning model that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to distinguish between malicious and benign processnames. The model is trained independently and is then made available for download. We use a character level RNN to classify malicious vs. benign processnames. The higher is_malicious_prob, the more likely is the processname to be suspicious (between [0,1]). The threshold for flagging a processname as suspicious is set as 0.5.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the behavior of dumping credentials from memory, a tactic commonly used by adversaries to exploit the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) in Windows, which manages system-level authentication. The detection is made by monitoring logs with process information from endpoints and identifying instances where the rundll32 process is used in conjunction with the comsvcs.dll and MiniDump. This indicates potential LSASS dumping attempts used by threat actors to obtain valuable credentials. The detection is important because credential theft can lead to broader system compromise, persistence, lateral movement, and escalated privileges. No legitimate use of this technique has been identified yet. This behavior is often part of more extensive attack campaigns and is associated with numerous threat groups that use the stolen credentials to access sensitive information or systems, leading to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes. False positives can occur since legitimate uses of the LSASS process can cause benign activities to be flagged. Next steps include reviewing the processes involved in the LSASS dumping attempt after triage and inspecting any relevant on-disk artifacts and concurrent processes to identify the attack source.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the creation of suspicious configuration files, /etc/at.allow or /etc/at.deny, in Linux. These files are commonly abused by malware, adversaries, or red teamers to establish persistence on compromised hosts. The configuration files determine which users are allowed to execute the "at" application, which is used for scheduling tasks in Linux. Attackers can add their user or a compromised username to these files to execute malicious code using "at." It's important to consider potential false positives as administrators or network operators may create these files for legitimate automation purposes. Adjust the filter macros to minimize false positives.\
 Identifying the creation of these configuration files is valuable for a SOC as it indicates potential unauthorized activities or an attacker attempting to establish persistence. If a true positive is found, further investigation is necessary to examine the contents of the created configuration file and determine the source of creation. The impact of a true positive can vary but could result in unauthorized execution of malicious code, data theft, or other detrimental consequences. Analysts should review the file path, creation time, and associated processes to assess the extent of the attack and initiate appropriate response actions.
 how_to_implement = To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting logs with the file name, file path, and process_guid executions from your endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the Add-on for Linux Sysmon from Splunkbase.

The second specialty permission is the SGID, or set group id bit. It is similar to the SUID bit, except it can temporarily change group membership, usually to execute a program. The SGID bit is set if an s or an S appears in the group section of permissions.

It is often the case that a particular threat is only applicable to a specific subset of systems in your environment. Typically analytics to detect those threats are written without the benefit of being able to only target those systems as well. Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers. A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously. If this theory is run against all publicly facing systems, the amount of noise it will generate will likely render this theory untenable. However, using the asset information to limit this analytic to just the Exchange servers will reduce the noise allowing the hunter to focus only on the systems where this behavioral change is relevant.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the presence of a registry key related to the Remcos RAT agent on a host. This detection is made by a Splunk query to search for instances where the registry key "license" is found in the "Software\Remcos" path. This analytic combines information from two data models: Endpoint.Processes and Endpoint.Registry and retrieves process information such as user, process ID, process name, process path, destination, parent process name, parent process, and process GUID. This analytic also retrieves registry information such as registry path, registry key name, registry value name, registry value data, and process GUID. By joining the process GUID from the Endpoint.Processes data model with the process GUID from the Endpoint.Registry data model, the analytic identifies instances where the "license" registry key is found in the "Software\Remcos" path. This detection is important because it suggests that the host has been compromised by the Remcos RAT agent. Remcos is a well-known remote access Trojan that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. Identifying this behavior allows the SOC to take immediate action to remove the RAT agent and prevent further compromise. The impact of this attack can be severe, as the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised system as a launching point for further attacks. Next steps include using this analytic in conjunction with other security measures and threat intelligence to ensure accurate detection and response.

 Implementing this analytic requires ingesting logs with information about task schedules, specifically Windows Security Log EventCode 4698, from your endpoints. It is recommended to tune and filter known instances of task schedules used in your environment to minimize false positives.\
 Detecting the registration of suspicious tasks with HTTP command arguments is valuable for a SOC as it indicates potential malicious activity or an attempt to establish persistence on the system. If a true positive is found, further investigation is warranted to analyze the nature and purpose of the scheduled task, identify any downloaded files or payloads, and mitigate the associated risks. The impact of a true positive can vary but may include data exfiltration, malware propagation, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.

 To implement this analytic, ensure you are ingesting logs with task schedule information from your endpoints. Be aware of potential false positives - legitimate uses of Task Scheduler in your environment may cause benign activities to be flagged.\
 Upon triage, review the scheduled task's source and the command to be executed. Capture and inspect any relevant on-disk artifacts, and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the creation of suspicious tasks on a remote Windows endpoint using the at.exe command with command-line arguments. This technique is commonly used by red teams and adversaries for lateral movement and remote code execution. The at.exe binary leverages the deprecated AT protocol, which may still work on previous versions of Windows. Attackers can enable this protocol on demand by modifying a system registry key. It is important to consider potential false positives. While administrators may create scheduled tasks on remote systems, this activity is typically limited to a small set of hosts or users.\
 Identifying the creation of scheduled tasks on remote endpoints is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC) because it indicates potential unauthorized activity or an attacker attempting to establish persistence or execute malicious code. The impact of a true positive can be significant, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or other damaging outcomes. During triage, investigate the source and purpose of the scheduled task, inspect relevant on-disk artifacts, and analyze concurrent processes to identify the extent of the attack and take appropriate response actions.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the creation and deletion of accounts in a short time period to identify potential threats earlier and take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks. Helps prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by unauthorized access or malicious activities within the environment. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for events with the result IDs 4720 and 4726 in the "Change" data model. The query then groups the results by time, user, and destination. The result is filtered to only include events with the specified result IDs. The "transaction" command is used to group events that occur within a specified time span and have the same user but are not connected. Finally, the relevant information such as the first and last time of the event, the count, user, destination, and result ID are displayed in a table. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to create and delete accounts rapidly, potentially to cover their tracks or gain unauthorized access. The impact of such an attack can include unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, or the ability to carry out further malicious activities within the environment. Next steps include investigating the events flagged by the analytic, review the account creation and deletion activities, and analyze any associated logs or artifacts to determine the intent and impact of the attack.

DCShadow allows an attacker who has obtained privileged access to register a rogue Domain Controller (DC). Once registered, the rogue DC may be able to inject and replicate changes in the AD infrastructure for any domain object, including credentials and keys. This technique was initially released in 2018 by security researchers Benjamin Delpy and Vincent Le Toux. Specifically, the detection will trigger when a possible rogue Domain Controller computer object is created and quickly deleted within 30 seconds or less in an Active Directory domain.

-explanation = The following analytic detects when an uninterrupted string of base64 characters is written to the contents of an NTFS file system alternate data stream. This behavior could indicate a threat actor staging malicious code within difficult to detect areas of the file system for later use or persistence.
+explanation = This analytic leverages Sysmon Event ID 15, a critical file creation event, to detect the creation of Alternate Data Streams (ADS) on Windows systems. ADS is a feature of the NTFS file system that allows the storage of data in hidden streams attached to files. These streams are not visible in standard file listings, making them a popular technique for concealing malicious activity. Event ID 15 captures both the hash of the primary file content (unnamed stream) and the content of any additional named streams, which can include executables, scripts, or configuration data. Malware often exploits ADS to hide payloads, leveraging browser downloads to attach a Zone.Identifier stream, marking the file as originating from the Internet (Mark Of The Web, MOTW). This analytic is designed to identify such misuse by analyzing the content and creation patterns of named streams, including those under 1KB which may contain MOTW information. It is essential for detecting sophisticated threats that utilize non-executable file types or conceal malicious scripts within ADS, beyond the traditional focus on PE executables. The detection process involves monitoring for the creation of named streams, which are part of the NTFS structure and can be examined using tools like PowerShell for the presence of additional data streams or MOTW information. This approach helps in uncovering hidden payloads and tracking the origin of suspicious files downloaded via browsers or email clients, providing a comprehensive defense against ADS abuse.

 explanation = The following analytic identifies a potentially suspicious execution of the 'pkgmgr' process involving the use of an XML input file for package management. The 'pkgmgr' process, though deprecated in modern Windows systems, was historically used for managing packages. The presence of an XML input file raises concerns about the nature of the executed command and its potential impact on the system. Due to the deprecated status of 'pkgmgr' and the involvement of an XML file, this activity warrants careful investigation. XML files are commonly used for configuration and data exchange, making it crucial to ascertain the intentions and legitimacy of the command. To ensure system security, it is recommended to use up-to-date package management utilities, such as DISM or PowerShell's PackageManagement module, and exercise caution when executing commands involving potentially sensitive operations or files.

This is detected when a user logs into a host and the GroupMembership field in event 4627 indicates a privileged group (e.g., Domain Admins), but the user does not actually belong to that group in the directory service. The detection leverages Windows Security Event Log 4627, which logs account logon events. The analytic cross-references the GroupMembership field from the event against a pre-populated lookup of actual group memberships. Its crucial to note that the accuracy and effectiveness of this detection heavily rely on the users diligence in populating and regularly updating this lookup table. Any discrepancies between the events GroupMembership and the lookup indicate potential ticket forging. Kerberos ticket forging, especially the Diamond Ticket attack, allows attackers to impersonate any user and potentially gain unauthorized access to resources. By forging a ticket that indicates membership in a privileged group, an attacker can bypass security controls and gain elevated privileges. Detecting such discrepancies in group memberships during logon events can be a strong indicator of this attack in progress, making it crucial for security teams to monitor and investigate.

 explanation = The following analytic identifies a modification in the Windows registry to define the threat action of Windows Defender. The ThreatSeverityDefaultAction registry setting in Windows Defender is used to define the default action taken by Windows Defender when it encounters threats of specific severity levels. A setting like ThreatSeverityDefaultAction is designed to define how Windows Defender responds to threats based on their severity. For example, it might determine whether Windows Defender quarantines, removes, or takes other actions against threats based on their severity levels. In this context, a registry value of 1 typically indicates an action to "clean," aiming to disinfect or resolve the detected threat, while a registry value of 9 signifies "no action," meaning that the antivirus software refrains from taking immediate steps against the identified threat.

 explanation = The following analytic refers to a detection mechanism designed to identify when the Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity (HVCI) feature is disabled within the Windows registry. HVCI is a security feature in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 that helps protect the kernel and system processes from being tampered with by malicious code. HVCI relies on hardware-assisted virtualization and Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor to ensure that only kernel-mode code that has been signed by Microsoft or the system's hardware manufacturer can be executed. This prevents attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities to run unsigned code, like kernel-mode rootkits or other malicious software, at the kernel level. Disabling HVCI may expose the system to security risks and could be an indicator of a potential compromise or unauthorized activity. The analytic aims to detect and report events or configurations that lead to the disabling of HVCI.

 explanation = The following analytic identifies the use of Ldifde.exe, which provides the ability to create, modify, or delete LDAP directory objects. Natively, the binary is only installed on a domain controller. However, adversaries or administrators may install the Windows Remote Server Admin Tools for ldifde.exe. Ldifde.exe is a Microsoft Windows command-line utility used to import or export LDAP directory entries. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services over an IP network. LDIF, on the other hand, stands for LDAP Data Interchange Format, a standard plain-text data interchange format for representing LDAP directory entries. -i This is a flag used with Ldifde.exe to denote import mode. In import mode, Ldifde.exe takes an LDIF file and imports its contents into the LDAP directory. The data in the LDIF file might include new objects to be created, or modifications or deletions to existing objects. -f This flag is used to specify the filename of the LDIF file that Ldifde.exe will import from (in the case of the -i flag) or export to (without the -i flag). For example, if you wanted to import data from a file called data.ldif, you would use the command ldifde -i -f data.ldif. Keep in mind that while the use of Ldifde.exe is legitimate in many contexts, it can also be used maliciously. For instance, an attacker who has gained access to a domain controller could potentially use Ldifde.exe to export sensitive data or make unauthorized changes to the directory. Therefore, it's important to monitor for unusual or unauthorized use of this tool.

This technique was being abused by several adversaries, malware authors and also red-teamers to bypass detection or to be able to compromise the target host with zero day exploit or as an additional defense evasion technique. RedLine Stealer is one of the malware we've seen that uses this technique to evade detection and add more payload on the target host. This detection looks for registry modification related to the server to which reporting information will be sent for client computers that use the WSUS server configured by the WUServer key. This policy is paired with WUServer; both must be set to the same value in order for them to be valid.

Windows Post-Exploitation refers to the phase that occurs after an attacker successfully compromises a Windows system. During this stage, attackers strive to maintain persistence, gather sensitive information, escalate privileges, and exploit the compromised environment further. Timely detection of post-exploitation activities is crucial for prompt response and effective mitigation. Common post-exploitation detections encompass identifying suspicious processes or services running on the system, detecting unusual network connections or traffic patterns, identifying modifications to system files or registry entries, monitoring abnormal user account activities, and flagging unauthorized privilege escalations. Ensuring the detection of post-exploitation activities is essential to proactively prevent further compromise, minimize damage, and restore the security of the Windows environment.

Analysts should be aware of benign administrative tasks that can trigger alerts and tune the analytic accordingly to reduce false positives. Upon triage, review the PowerShell logs for any unusual or unexpected cmdlet usage, IP addresses, user accounts, or timestamps. If these factors align with known malicious behavior patterns, immediate mitigation steps, such as isolation of the affected systems, user account changes, and relevant threat hunting activities, should be initiated. This proactive analysis significantly enhances an organization's capacity to swiftly respond to, and potentially prevent, the execution of advanced persistent threats in their network.

 explanation = The following analytic detects modifications to the Windows Registry SIP Provider. It identifies this behavior by monitoring Sysmon Event ID 7, which logs registry modification events. The analytic specifically looks for changes in registry paths and values associated with Cryptography Providers and OID Encoding Types. This behavior is worth identifying as it may indicate an attempt to subvert trust controls, a technique often used by adversaries to bypass security measures and maintain persistence in an environment. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker is trying to manipulate the system's cryptographic functions, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or other damaging outcomes. Upon triage, review the registry paths and values modified, and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. Review the path of the SIP being added. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.

 explanation = The following analytic identifies the creation of a new task to start and run as an elevated user - SYSTEM using Schtasks.exe. This behavior is commonly used by adversaries to spawn a process in an elevated state. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker is attempting to persist within the environment or potentially deliver additional malicious payloads, leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. Upon triage, review the scheduled task's source and the command to be executed. Capture and inspect any relevant on-disk artifacts, and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.

These activities might resemble an attacker''s attempt to hijack a disconnected session, leading to false alarms. To mitigate the risk of false positives and improve the overall security posture, organizations can implement Group Policy to automatically disconnect RDP sessions when they are complete. By enforcing this policy, administrators ensure that disconnected sessions are promptly terminated, reducing the window of opportunity for an attacker to hijack a session. Additionally, organizations can also implement access control mechanisms and monitor the behavior of privileged accounts to further enhance security and reduce the chances of false positives in RDP Hijacking detection.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the use of certutil to download software, a behavior exhibited by the threat actor Flax Typhoon. This actor deploys a VPN connection by downloading an executable file for SoftEther VPN from their network infrastructure using one of several LOLBins, including certutil. The actor then uses the Service Control Manager (SCM) to create a Windows service that launches the VPN connection automatically when the system starts. This behavior allows the actor to monitor the availability of the compromised system and establish an RDP connection. This analytic identifies this behavior by monitoring for the use of certutil in conjunction with the downloading of software. This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it indicates a potential compromise of the system and the establishment of a persistent threat. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker has gained access to the environment and is attempting to maintain that access, potentially leading to further malicious activities such as data theft or ransomware attacks. Be aware of potential false positives - legitimate uses of certutil in your environment may cause benign activities to be flagged. Upon triage, review the command executed and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.

This particular technique was observed in the context of the Warzone (Ave Maria) RAT, where it employed a method known as DLL hijacking (dll-side-loading) by dropping the "dismcore.dll" to achieve privilege escalation. DLL hijacking is a stealthy attack technique used by cybercriminals to exploit the way Windows searches and loads DLLs. By placing a malicious DLL with the same name as one that a legitimate application is expected to load, the attacker can gain unauthorized access and execute malicious code. In the case of Warzone RAT (Ave Maria), the dropped "dismcore.dll" was intended to deceive the system into loading the rogue DLL instead of the legitimate version, thereby granting the malware elevated privileges and enabling further compromise of the target system. Detecting such suspicious DLLs is crucial in preventing privilege escalation attacks and other potential security breaches.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the creation of permanent event subscriptions using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), which is used by attackers to achieve persistence in a compromised system. By creating a permanent event subscription, an attacker can run malicious scripts or binaries in response to specific system events that enables them to maintain access to the system undetected. The detection is made by using Sysmon Event ID 5 data to detect instances where the consumers of these events are not the expected "NTEventLogEventConsumer." The detection is important because it identifies unusual or unexpected subscription creation, which suggests that an attacker is attempting to achieve persistence within the environment and might be executing malicious scripts or binaries in response to specific system events. The impact of such an attack can be severe, potentially leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. False positives might occur since False positives might occur since WMI event subscriptions can be used for legitimate purposes by system administrators.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the creation of WMI temporary event subscriptions. WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management technology that allows administrators to perform various tasks on Windows-based systems. Temporary event subscriptions are created to monitor specific events or changes on a system that help to detect potential threats early and take proactive measures to protect the organization's systems and data. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `wmi` EventCode=5860 Temporary to search for events with EventCode 5860, which indicates the creation of a temporary WMI event subscription. To further refine the search results, the query uses regular expressions (rex) to extract the query used in the event subscription. Then, it filters known benign queries related to system processes such as 'wsmprovhost.exe' and 'AntiVirusProduct', 'FirewallProduct', 'AntiSpywareProduct', which helps to focus on potentially malicious or suspicious queries. The detection is important because it indicates malicious activity since attackers use WMI to run commands, gather information, or maintain persistence within a compromised system. False positives might occur since legitimate uses of WMI event subscriptions in the environment might trigger benign activities to be flagged. Therefore, an extensive triage is necessary to review the specific query and assess its intent. Additionally, capturing and inspecting relevant on-disk artifacts and analyzing concurrent processes can help to identify the source of the attack. Detecting the creation of these event subscriptions to identify potential threats early and take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks.

 explanation = By enabling Port Security on a Cisco switch you can restrict input to an interface by limiting and identifying MAC addresses of the workstations that are allowed to access the port. When you assign secure MAC addresses to a secure port, the port does not forward packets with source addresses outside the group of defined addresses. If you limit the number of secure MAC addresses to one and assign a single secure MAC address, the workstation attached to that port is assured the full bandwidth of the port. If a port is configured as a secure port and the maximum number of secure MAC addresses is reached, when the MAC address of a workstation attempting to access the port is different from any of the identified secure MAC addresses, a security violation occurs.

The detection is made by using an experimental search that focuses on identifying specific indicators that might suggest the presence of the SIGRed exploit such as DNS SIG records, KEY records, and TCP payloads greater than 65KB. This detection is important because it detects and responds to potential SIGRed exploitation attempts and minimizes the risk of a successful attack and its impact on the organization's infrastructure and data.

SIGRed vulnerability allows attackers to run remote code on Windows DNS servers. By detecting SIGRed early, you can prevent further damage and protect the organization's network infrastructure. The detection is made by identifying specific DNS query types (SIG and KEY) in the Zeek DNS data and checks for high data transfer in the Zeek Conn data.

The detection is important because it indicates a potential compromise of Windows DNS servers that suggests that an attacker might have gained unauthorized access to the DNS server and can run arbitrary code. The impact of this attack can be severe, leading to data exfiltration, unauthorized access, or disruption of critical services.

This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to exploit the Zerologon vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to the domain controller. Zerologon vulnerability is a critical vulnerability that allows attackers to take over domain controllers without authentication, leading to a complete takeover of an organization's IT infrastructure.

 explanation = The following analytic detects spikes in the number of Server Message Block (SMB) traffic connections. SMB is a network protocol used for sharing files, printers, and other resources between computers. This detection is made by a Splunk query that looks for SMB traffic connections on ports 139 and 445, as well as connections using the SMB application. The query calculates the average and standard deviation of the number of SMB connections over the past 70 minutes, and identifies any sources that exceed two standard deviations from the average. This helps to filter out false positives caused by normal fluctuations in SMB traffic. This detection is important because it identifies potential SMB-based attacks, such as ransomware or data theft, which often involve a large number of SMB connections. This  suggests that an attacker is attempting to exfiltrate data or spread malware within the network. Next steps include investigating the source of the traffic and determining if it is malicious. This can involve reviewing network logs, capturing and analyzing any relevant network packets, and correlating with other security events to identify the attack source and mitigate the risk.

Apache Commons Text is a Java library described as a library focused on algorithms working on strings. We can see it as a general-purpose text manipulation toolkit. This vulnerability affects the StringSubstitutor interpolator class, which is included in the Commons Text library. A default interpolator allows for string lookups that can lead to Remote Code Execution. This is due to a logic flaw that makes the script, dns, and url lookup keys interpolated by default, as opposed to what it should be, according to the documentation of the StringLookupFactory class. Those keys allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via lookups.
 how_to_implement = To implement, one must be collecting network traffic that is normalized in CIM and able to be queried via the Web datamodel. Or, take the chunks out needed and tie to a specific network source type to hunt in. Tune as needed, or remove the other_lookups statement.

The vulnerability, designated as CVE-2023-38035, affects all supported versions 9.18, 9.17, and 9.16, as well as older versions. The analytic works by monitoring for changes in the configuration of Sentry and the underlying operating system. Such changes could indicate an attacker attempting to execute OS commands as root. This behavior is of significant concern for a Security Operations Center (SOC) as it presents a substantial security risk, particularly if port 8443, the default port for the System Manager Portal, is exposed to the internet. If the analytic returns a true positive, it suggests that an attacker has gained unauthorized access to the Sentry system, potentially leading to a significant system compromise and data breach. It is important to note that while the issue has a high CVSS score, the risk of exploitation is low for customers who do not expose port 8443 to the internet.

This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to exploit a web application through SQL injection. SQL injection is a common technique used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications and gain unauthorized access to databases. Attackers can insert malicious SQL commands into a URL to manipulate the application's database and retrieve sensitive information or modify data. The impact of a successful SQL injection attack can be severe, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, and even complete compromise of the affected system. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of web applications or specific URLs in your environment can trigger the detection. Therefore, you must review and validate any alerts generated by this analytic before taking any action.

This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for specific patterns in web URLs, including "*logoimagehandler.ashx*codes*", "*logoimagehandler.ashx*clazz*", "*logoimagehandler.ashx*method*", and "*logoimagehandler.ashx*args*". These patterns are commonly used by the Supernova webshell to communicate with its command and control server. This detection is important because it indicates a potential compromise and unauthorized access to the system to run arbitrary code, which can lead to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. False positives might occur since the patterns used by the webshell can also be present in legitimate web traffic. In such cases, tune the search to the specific environment and monitor it closely for any suspicious activity. Next steps include reviewing the web URLs and inspecting any relevant on-disk artifacts. Additionally, review concurrent processes and network connections to identify the source of the attack.

 The behavior this analytic detects is the sending of HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint. This is a significant indicator of an attempted exploit as it is the primary method used to trigger the vulnerability. The analytic detects this behavior by analyzing web traffic data and identifying HTTP POST requests directed at the vulnerable endpoint.\
 Identifying this behavior is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC) as it can indicate an active attempt to exploit a known vulnerability within the network. If the identified behavior is a true positive, it suggests an attacker is attempting to exploit the CVE-2023-20887 vulnerability in VMWare vRealize Network Insight. The impact of such an attack could be severe, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or further propagation within the network.

 description = Monitor for and investigate activities that may be associated with a Windows privilege-escalation attack, including unusual processes running on endpoints, modified registry keys, and more.
 narrative = Privilege escalation is a "land-and-expand" technique, wherein an adversary gains an initial foothold on a host and then exploits its weaknesses to increase his privileges. The motivation is simple: certain actions on a Windows machine--such as installing software--may require higher-level privileges than those the attacker initially acquired. By increasing his privilege level, the attacker can gain the control required to carry out his malicious ends. This Analytic Story provides searches to detect and investigate behaviors that attackers may use to elevate their privileges in your environment.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic uses a pretrained machine learning text classifier to detect potentially risky commands. The model is trained independently and then the model file is packaged within ESCU for usage. A command is deemed risky based on the presence of certain trigger keywords, along with the context and the role of the user (please see references). The model uses custom features to predict whether a SPL is risky using text classification. The model takes as input the command text, user and search type and outputs a risk score between [0,1]. A high score indicates higher likelihood of a command being risky. This model is on-prem only.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = This detection depends on the MLTK app which can be found here - https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2890/ and the Splunk Audit datamodel which can be found here - https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1621/. Additionally, you need to be ingesting logs which include Search_Activity.search, Search_Activity.user, Search_Activity.search_type from your endpoints. The risk score threshold should be adjusted based on the environment. The detection uses a custom MLTK model hence we need a few more steps for deployment, as outlined here - https://gist.github.com/ksharad-splunk/be2a62227966049047f5e5c4f2adcabb.

 description = The Splunk platform contains built-in search processing language (SPL) safeguards to warn you when you are about to unknowingly run a search that contains commands that might be a security risk. This warning appears when you click a link or type a URL that loads a search that contains risky commands. The warning does not appear when you create ad hoc searches. This warning alerts you to the possibility of unauthorized actions by a malicious user. Unauthorized actions include - Copying or transferring data (data exfiltration), Deleting data and Overwriting data. All risky commands may be found here https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/SPLsafeguards#Commands_that_trigger_the_warninga. A possible scenario when this might occur is when a malicious actor creates a search that includes commands that exfiltrate or damage data. The malicious actor then sends an unsuspecting user a link to the search. The URL contains a query string (q) and a search identifier (sid), but the sid is not valid. The malicious actor hopes the user will use the link and the search will run. During analysis, pivot based on user name and filter any user or queries not needed. Queries ran from a dashboard are seen as adhoc queries. When a query runs from a dashboard it will not show in audittrail logs the source dashboard name. The query defaults to adhoc and no Splunk system user activity. In addition, modify this query by removing key commands that generate too much noise, or too little, and create separate queries with higher confidence to alert on.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = To successfully implement this search acceleration is recommended against the Search_Activity datamodel that runs against the splunk _audit index.  In addition, this analytic requires the Common Information Model App which includes the Splunk Audit Datamodel https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1621/. Splunk SOAR customers can find a SOAR workbook that walks an analyst through the process of running these hunting searches in the references list of this detection.

A user should then create an empty container or case, attach the workbook, and begin working through the tasks.

The detection is important because it indicates potential phishing or malware delivery attempts in which an attacker attempts to deliver malicious content through email attachments, which can lead to data breaches, malware infections, or unauthorized access to sensitive information. Next steps include reviewing the identified emails and attachments and analyzing the source user, file name, and message ID to determine if they are legitimate or malicious.

Next steps include reviewing the identified emails and attachments and analyzing the source user, file name, and message ID to determine if they are legitimate or malicious. Additionally, you must inspect any relevant on-disk artifacts associated with the attachments and investigate any concurrent processes to identify the source of the attack.

The impact of such an attack can be significant, ranging from data theft to the deployment of additional malicious payloads, potentially leading to ransomware or other damaging outcomes. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of these processes on web servers can trigger the analytic. Next steps include triaging and investigating to determine the legitimacy of the activity. Also, review the source and command of the suspicious process.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects unauthenticated requests made against the Kubernetes' Pods API through proactive monitoring to protect the Kubernetes environment from unauthorized access and potential security breaches. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `aws_cloudwatchlogs_eks` with specific filters to identify these requests. Identifies events where the `user.username` is set to "system:anonymous", the `verb` is set to "list", and the `objectRef.resource` is set to "pods". Additionally, the search checks if the `requestURI` is equal to "/api/v1/pods". Analyzing these events helps you to identify any unauthorized access attempts to the Kubernetes' Pods API. Unauthenticated requests can indicate potential security breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive resources within the Kubernetes environment. The detection is important because unauthorized access to Kubernetes' Pods API can lead to the compromise of sensitive data, unauthorized execution of commands, or even the potential for lateral movement within the Kubernetes cluster. False positives might occur since there might be legitimate use cases for unauthenticated requests in certain scenarios. Therefore, you must review and validate any detected events before taking any action.  Next steps include investigating the incident to mitigate any ongoing threats, and strengthening the security measures to prevent future unauthorized access attempts.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions. This hunting query identifies when a potentially compromised user creates a IAM access key for another user who may have higher privilleges, which can be a sign for privilege escalation.

 action.escu.eli5 = This detection rule monitors for the creation of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) access keys. An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions. This hunting query identifies when a potentially compromised user creates a IAM access key for another user who may have higher privilleges, which can be a sign for privilege escalation. Hunting queries are designed to be executed manual during threat hunting.

 description = This detection rule monitors for the creation of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) access keys. An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions. This hunting query identifies when a potentially compromised user creates a IAM access key for another user who may have higher privilleges, which can be a sign for privilege escalation. Hunting queries are designed to be executed manual during threat hunting.

This behavior could represent an adversary performing a Password Spraying attack against an AWS environment to obtain initial access or elevate privileges. The detection calculates the standard deviation for source IP and leverages the 3-sigma statistical rule to identify an unusual number of failed authentication attempts. To customize this analytic, users can try different combinations of the bucket span time and the calculation of the upperBound field. This logic can be used for real time security monitoring as well as threat hunting exercises. While looking for anomalies using statistical methods like the standard deviation can have benefits, we also recommend using threshold-based detections to complement coverage.

The detection leverages Azure AD logs specifically focusing on authentication requests to identify the attack. This technique involves creating malicious infrastructure, bypassing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and bypassing Conditional Access Policies (CAPs). The attack aims to compromise users by sending them phishing emails from attacker-controlled domains and trick the victims into performing OAuth 2.0 device authentication. A successful execution of this attack can result in adversaries gaining unauthorized access to Azure AD, Exchange mailboxes, and the target's Outlook Web Application (OWA). This attack technique was detailed by security researchers including Bobby Cooke, Stephan Borosh, and others.

 description = This analytic detects potential distributed password spraying attacks within an Azure AD environment. It identifies a notable increase in failed authentication attempts across a variety of unique user-and-IP address combinations, originating from multiple source IP addresses and countries, and employing different user agents. Such patterns suggest an adversary's attempt to bypass security controls by using a range of IP addresses to test commonly used passwords against numerous user accounts. The detection scrutinizes SignInLogs from Azure AD logs, particularly focusing on events with error code 50126, which signals a failed authentication due to incorrect credentials. By collating data over a five-minute interval, the analytic computes the distinct counts of user-and-IP combinations, unique users, source IPs, and countries. It then applies a set of thresholds to these metrics to pinpoint unusual activities that could indicate a coordinated attack effort. The thresholds set within the analytic (such as unique IPs, unique users, etc.) are initial guidelines and should be customized based on the organization's user behavior and risk profile. Recognizing this behavior is vital for security operations centers (SOCs) as distributed password spraying represents a more complex form of traditional password spraying. Attackers distribute the source of their attempts to evade detection mechanisms that typically monitor for single-source IP anomalies. Prompt detection of such distributed activities is essential to thwart unauthorized access attempts, prevent account compromises, and mitigate the risk of further malicious activities within the organization's network. A true positive alert from this analytic suggests an active distributed password spraying attack against the organization's Azure AD tenant. A successful attack could result in unauthorized access, particularly to accounts with elevated privileges, leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, persistent threats, and lateral movement within the organization's infrastructure.

 description = This analytic is crafted to identify unusual and potentially malicious authentication activity within an Azure AD environment. It triggers when a single user account is involved in more than 8 authentication attempts, using 3 or more unique application IDs and more than 5 unique user agents within a short timeframe. This pattern is atypical for regular user behavior and may indicate an adversary's attempt to probe the environment, testing for multi-factor authentication requirements across different applications and platforms. The detection is based on analysis of Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture. If validated as a true positive, this detection points to a compromised account, signaling that an attacker is actively attempting to navigate security controls to maintain access and potentially escalate privileges. This could lead to further exploitation, lateral movement within the network, and eventual data exfiltration.

Adding a custom domain is a step required to set up the Azure Active Directory identity federation backdoor technique discovered by security researcher Nestori Syynimaa. Similar to Active Directory, Azure AD uses the concept of domains to manage directories of identities. A new Azure AD tenant will initially contain a single domain that is commonly called the `cloud-only` onmicrosoft.com domain. Organizations can also add their registered custom domains to Azure AD for email addresses to match the organizations domain name. If the organization intends to use a third-party identity provider such as ADFS for authentication, the added custom domains can be configured as federated. An adversary who has obtained privileged access to an Azure AD tenant may leverage this technique to establish persistence and be able to authenticate to Azure AD impersonating any user and bypassing the requirement to have a valid password and/or perform MFA.

Monitoring for such changes is crucial, especially if the addition is not preceded by a user request or if it deviates from typical user behavior.

 description = The following analytic identifies one source Ip failing to authenticate with multiple valid users. This behavior could represent an adversary performing a Password Spraying attack against an Azure Active Directory tenant to obtain initial access or elevate privileges. Error Code 50126 represents an invalid password.\
 The detection calculates the standard deviation for source Ip and leverages the 3-sigma statistical rule to identify an unusual number of failed authentication attempts. To customize this analytic, users can try different combinations of the `bucket` span time and the calculation of the `upperBound` field. This logic can be used for real time security monitoring as well as threat hunting exercises.\
 While looking for anomalies using statistical methods like the standard deviation can have benefits, we also recommend using threshold-based detections to complement coverage. A similar analytic following the threshold model is `Azure AD Multiple Users Failing To Authenticate From Ip`.

This suggests that the application has exhibited behaviors or characteristics that are commonly associated with malicious intent or poses a security risk. This detection leverages the Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to user consent actions and system-driven blocks. By filtering for blocked consent actions associated with applications, the analytic highlights instances where Azure's built-in security measures have intervened. Applications that are flagged and blocked by Azure typically exhibit suspicious characteristics or behaviors. Monitoring for these blocked consent attempts helps security teams identify potential threats early on and can provide insights into users who might be targeted or susceptible to such risky applications. It's an essential layer of defense in ensuring that malicious or risky applications don't gain access to organizational data. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that the built-in security measures of O365 successfully prevented a potentially harmful application from gaining access. However, the attempt itself suggests that either a user might be targeted or that there's a presence of malicious applications trying to infiltrate the organization. Immediate investigation is required to understand the context of the block and to take further preventive measures.

Azure Automation is a cloud-based automation platform that allows administrators to automate Azure management tasks and orchestrate actions across external systems within Azure. Azure Automation script files called Runbooks that can be written in PowerShell or Python. One of the ways administrators can configure a Runbook to be executed is through HTTP Webhooks. Webhooks leverage custom unauthenticated URLs that are exposed to the Internet. An adversary who has obtained privileged access to an Azure tenant may create a Webhook to trigger the execution of an Automation Runbook with malicious code that can create users or execute code on a VM. This provides a persistent foothold on the environment.

 description = This analytic searches for a specific behavior in CircleCI pipelines such as the disabling of security jobs. The detection is made by using a Splunk query that renames certain fields and retrieves values for specified job names, workflow IDs and names, user information, commit messages, URLs, and branches. Then, the query identifies mandatory jobs for each workflow and searches for instances where they were run. The search also identifies the phase of the pipeline as "build" and extracts the repository name from the URL using regular expressions. The detection is important because it detects attempts to bypass security measures in CircleCI pipelines, which can potentially lead to malicious code being introduced into the pipeline, data breaches, system downtime, and reputational damage.  False positives might occur since legitimate use cases can require the disabling of security jobs. However, you can proactively monitor and identify any suspicious activity in the pipeline using this analytic and mitigate potential threats through early detection.

Addressing instances of security step disablement in CircleCI pipelines can mitigate the risks associated with potential security vulnerabilities and unauthorized changes. A proactive approach helps protect the organization's infrastructure, data, and overall security posture. The detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for specific criteria within CircleCI logs through a combination of field renaming, joining, and statistical analysis to identify instances where security steps are disabled. It retrieves information such as job IDs, job names, commit details, and user information from the CircleCI logs.  The detection is important because it indicates potential security vulnerabilities or unauthorized changes to the pipeline caused by someone within the organization intentionally or unintentionally disabling security steps in the CircleCI pipeline.Disabling security steps can leave the pipeline and the associated infrastructure exposed to potential attacks, data breaches, or the introduction of malicious code into the pipeline. Investigate by reviewing the job name, commit details, and user information associated with the disablement of security steps. You must also examine any relevant on-disk artifacts and identify concurrent processes that might indicate the source of the attack or unauthorized change.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects when a new command is run by a user, who typically does not run those commands. The detection is made by a Splunk query to search for these commands in the Change data model. Identifies commands run by users with the user_type of AssumedRole and a status of success. The query retrieves the earliest and latest timestamps of each command run and groups the results by the user and command. Then, it drops the unnecessary data model object name and creates a lookup to verify if the command was seen before. The lookup table contains information about previously seen cloud API calls for each user role, including the first time the command was seen and whether enough data is available for analysis. If the firstTimeSeenUserApiCall field is null or greater than the relative time of 24 hours ago, it indicates that the command is new and was not seen before. The final result table includes the firstTime, user, object, and command fields of the new commands. It also applies the security_content_ctime function to format the timestamps and applies a filter to remove any cloud API calls from previously unseen user roles. The detection is important because it helps to identify new commands run by different user roles. New commands can indicate potential malicious activity or unauthorized actions within the environment. Detecting and investigating these new commands can help identify and mitigate potential security threats earlier, preventing data breaches, unauthorized access, or other damaging outcomes.

In order to capture public GCP Storage Bucket access logs, you must also enable storage bucket logging to your PubSub Topic as per https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-logs.  These logs are deposited into the nominated Storage Bucket on an hourly basis and typically show up by 15 minutes past the hour.  It is recommended to configure any saved searches or correlation searches in Enterprise Security to run on an hourly basis at 30 minutes past the hour (cron definition of 30 * * * *).  A lookup table (previously_seen_gcp_storage_access_from_remote_ip.csv) stores the previously seen access requests, and is used by this search to determine any newly seen IP addresses accessing the Storage Buckets.

You must also analyze any relevant on-disk artifacts and investigate any concurrent processes to determine the source and intent of the pull request."

Specifically, it identifies scenarios where there are more than 10 unsuccessful login attempts within a short time frame. The detection leverages Office365 management activity logs, specifically the AzureActiveDirectoryStsLogon records from the AzureActiveDirectory workload. It aggregates these logs in 5-minute intervals to count the number of failed login attempts and associates them with the originating source IP address. Multiple failed login attempts from a single source can be indicative of brute-force attacks, password spraying, or other malicious authentication attempts. Identifying and responding to these patterns promptly can prevent unauthorized access and potential breaches. If this detection represents a true positive, an attacker might be attempting to gain unauthorized access to an Office365 account. Successful compromise could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, potential lateral movement within the organization, or further malicious activities using the compromised account.

Kubernetes Secrets, which store sensitive information like passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys, are critical assets, and their misuse can lead to significant security breaches. This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it could indicate an attacker attempting to exfiltrate or misuse these secrets.

 action.escu.eli5 = This analytic identifies changes in network communication behavior in a Kubernetes container by examining inbound to outbound network IO ratios. It uses process metrics from an OTEL collector and Kubelet Stats Receiver, and data from Splunk Observability cloud via the Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Add-on. A lookup table containing average and standard deviation for network IO is used to evaluate anomalies for each container. An event is generated if the anomaly persists over a 1 hour period. These anomalies may indicate security threats such as data exfiltration, command and control communication, or compromised container behavior. They can compromise the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of applications and data, necessitating rapid detection and response. Anomalous network utilization may suggest a compromised container, potentially leading to data breaches, service outages, and unauthorized access within the Kubernetes cluster.

This detection leverages process metrics harvested using an OTEL collector and hostmetrics receiever, and is pulled from Splunk Observability cloud using the Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Add-on. (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5247). This detection compares the processes seen for each node over the previous 1 hour with those over the previous 30 days up until the previous 1 hour. The specific metric used by this detection is process.memory.utilization. Newly seen processes on a Kubernetes worker node are concerning as they may represent security risks and anomalies that could be related to unauthorized activity. New processes may be introduced  in an attempt to compromise the node or gain control of the Kubernetes cluster. By detecting these processes, they can be investigated, and correlated with other anomalous activity for that host. Newly seen processes may be part of an attacker's strategy to compromise the node, gain unauthorized access, and subsequently extend their control to the entire Kubernetes cluster. These processes could facilitate activities such as data exfiltration, privilege escalation, denial-of-service attacks, or the introduction of malware and backdoors, putting sensitive data, applications, and the entire infrastructure at risk. The consequences may include data breaches, service disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage, underscoring the need to identify anomalous process and associate them with any concurrent risk activity.

This detection compares the processes seen for each node over the previous 1 hour with those over the previous 30 days up until the previous 1 hour, and alerts if the path for that process was not seen over the previous 30 days. The specific metric used by this detection is process.memory.utilization. Processes running from a newly seen path can signify potential security risks and anomalies. A process executing from an unfamiliar file path may indicate unauthorized changes to the file system, a compromised node, or the introduction of malicious software. If the presence of a process running from a newly seen file path on a Kubernetes node indicates malicious activity, the security implications could be severe. It suggests that an attacker has potentially compromised the node, allowing them to execute unauthorized processes and potentially gain control over critical resources.

This is used to indicate an anomalous change in resource ratios that indicate the workload has changed behavior irrespective of load. Changes in the relationship between utilization of different resources can indicate a change in behavior of the monitored process, which can indicate a potentially compromised application. Deviations in resource ratios, such as memory-to-CPU or CPU-to-disk utilization, may signify compromised processes, malicious activity, or misconfigurations that could pose risks.

Unauthorized shell processes on a Kubernetes worker node could severely impact the cluster's security and integrity. Attackers could gain full control over the host's resources and file system, compromising all hosted workloads and data. This access could lead to data theft, service disruption, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and further attacks within the cluster. Attackers could also manipulate configurations, deploy malicious containers, and execute arbitrary code, severely risking the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of applications and sensitive data. A rapid and comprehensive incident response is required to mitigate and recover from such a breach.

This analytic leverages the Office 365 Management Activity API, specifically monitoring for events related to role assignments and changes within the Azure Active Directory audit logs. The ApplicationImpersonation role allows a security principal to impersonate any user within the organization and perform actions on their behalf, such as accessing or modifying their mailbox. This role, if misused or granted inappropriately, can pose a significant security risk. Monitoring the assignment of this role is crucial as it can be an indicator of potential malicious activity or misconfigurations. If an attacker successfully assigns the ApplicationImpersonation role to a malicious user or application, they can gain the ability to impersonate any user within the organization. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, manipulation of mailbox data, and other malicious actions. The attacker can effectively masquerade as a legitimate user, making their actions harder to detect and potentially causing significant harm to the organization.

By monitoring these logs, the analytic captures and alerts on any actions that result in the deactivation or disabling of MFA for a user. MFA is a cornerstone of modern security practices, providing an additional layer of protection beyond just a password. Disabling MFA, especially without a valid reason, poses a significant security risk.

Such permissions mean the application could potentially access, modify, or delete files stored within these services. The detection process leverages O365 audit logs, particularly focusing on events related to OAuth application consents. By examining these logs, the analytic is designed to capture and alert on any actions where users grant consent to applications requesting file-related permissions for OneDrive or SharePoint. The sensitivity of file permissions, especially in platforms as widely utilized as OneDrive and SharePoint, cannot be overstated. While many legitimate applications might require such permissions to operate, there's an inherent risk with malicious or overly permissive applications. Attackers could craft or exploit applications to gain file permissions, aiming to access, exfiltrate, or manipulate sensitive data housed in OneDrive or SharePoint. It's crucial for security operations centers to monitor these consents to ensure that only trustworthy applications gain access and that users aren't inadvertently granting permissions to potentially harmful applications. If this detection flags a true positive, it indicates that an application has been granted permissions that could allow it to interact with OneDrive or SharePoint files in potentially malicious ways. Such actions could lead to data breaches, data loss, or unauthorized data manipulation. Immediate investigation would be required to validate the application's legitimacy, understand the nature of its requested permissions, and assess the potential risks associated with the access it's been granted.

Attackers could craft or exploit applications to gain file permissions, aiming to access, exfiltrate, or manipulate sensitive data housed in OneDrive or SharePoint. It's crucial for security operations centers to monitor these consents to ensure that only trustworthy applications gain access and that users aren't inadvertently granting permissions to potentially harmful applications. If this detection flags a true positive, it indicates that an application has been granted permissions that could allow it to interact with OneDrive or SharePoint files in potentially malicious ways. Such actions could lead to data breaches, data loss, or unauthorized data manipulation. Immediate investigation would be required to validate the application's legitimacy, understand the nature of its requested permissions, and assess the potential risks associated with the access it's been granted.

By monitoring the frequency and volume of these events for individual users, the analytic can flag accounts that exceed the set threshold of failed attempts within the defined timeframe. Multiple failed login attempts in a short period can be a strong indicator of malicious activity. While there could be benign reasons, such as a user forgetting their password, the rapid succession of failed attempts is often a sign of an attacker trying to gain unauthorized access.

 description = This analytic detects potential distributed password spraying attacks within an Office 365 environment. It identifies a significant increase in failed authentication attempts characterized by diverse user-and-IP address combinations, originating from multiple source IP addresses, and utilizing various user agents. These patterns may indicate an adversary's attempt to circumvent security controls by employing a spectrum of IP addresses to test commonly used passwords against a wide range of user accounts. The detection examines UserLoginFailed events from O365 Management Activity logs, with a particular focus on events with ErrorNumber 50126, which indicates a failed authentication due to incorrect credentials. By aggregating data over a five-minute interval, the analytic calculates the distinct counts of user-and-IP combinations and unique users and source IPs. It then applies a set of thresholds to these metrics to identify abnormal activities that could suggest a coordinated attack. The predefined thresholds within the analytic (such as unique IPs, unique users, etc.) serve as initial benchmarks and should be tailored to align with the organization's typical user behavior and risk tolerance. Early detection of such distributed activities is crucial for security operations centers (SOCs) to intercept unauthorized access attempts, avert account takeovers, and reduce the risk of subsequent malevolent actions within the organization's systems. A true positive alert from this analytic would indicate an ongoing distributed password spraying campaign targeting the organization's Office 365 tenant. If such an attack is successful, it could lead to unauthorized access, especially to accounts with administrative privileges, resulting in data breaches, privilege escalation, persistent threats, and lateral movement within the organization's digital environment.

It triggers when a single user account is involved in more than 8 authentication attempts, using 3 or more unique application IDs and more than 5 unique user agents within a short timeframe. This pattern is atypical for regular user behavior and may indicate an adversary's attempt to probe the environment, testing for multi-factor authentication requirements across different applications and platforms. The detection is based on analysis of O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture. If validated as a true positive, this detection points to a compromised account, signaling that an attacker is actively attempting to navigate security controls to maintain access and potentially escalate privileges. This could lead to further exploitation, lateral movement within the network, and eventual data exfiltration.

 description = This analytic identifies potential "MFA fatigue" attacks targeting Office 365 users. Specifically, it detects scenarios where a user experiences more than nine Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) prompts within a 10-minute timeframe. Attackers may exploit MFA fatigue by repeatedly triggering MFA requests, hoping that the user, out of frustration or oversight, will approve a malicious authentication attempt. The detection leverages O365 management activity logs, focusing on Azure Active Directory events. It looks for the UserLoginFailed operation combined with a Success ResultStatus and an ErrorNumber of 500121, which indicates MFA prompts. By monitoring these specific events and conditions, the analytic captures and alerts on potential MFA fatigue scenarios. With MFA being a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity defenses, attackers are constantly seeking ways to bypass or exploit it. MFA fatigue is one such tactic, where attackers rely on user frustration or confusion caused by frequent MFA prompts. Detecting potential MFA fatigue scenarios allows security teams to proactively investigate and ensure that users aren't inadvertently granting access to malicious actors. If this detection flags a true positive, it suggests a potential attempt by an attacker to exploit MFA mechanisms to gain unauthorized access to an O365 account. Successful exploitation could lead to data breaches, unauthorized data access, or further compromise within the O365 environment. Immediate investigation and response would be crucial to safeguard the affected account and assess the full scope of the potential breach.

 description = This analytic identifies instances where multiple users (more than 10 unique accounts) have failed to authenticate from a single IP address within a short time span (5 minutes). Such a pattern can be indicative of malicious activities, such as brute-force attacks or password spraying attempts. The detection leverages O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on Azure Active Directory login failures (AzureActiveDirectoryStsLogon). By aggregating these failures based on the source IP address and time, the analytic captures patterns where multiple unique user accounts have authentication failures from the same IP within a 5-minute window. Multiple authentication failures from a single IP address targeting various accounts can be a strong indicator of an attacker trying to gain unauthorized access. It could represent a brute-force attack, password spraying, or other malicious login attempts. Identifying and responding to such patterns promptly is crucial to prevent potential account compromises and unauthorized access to organizational resources. If the detection is a true positive, it suggests that an external entity is actively trying to breach the security by targeting multiple user accounts. While the attempts have been unsuccessful (as indicated by the login failures), it's a clear sign of malicious intent. Immediate action is required to block or monitor the suspicious IP, investigate the nature of the attempts, and potentially notify affected users to take precautionary measures like password changes or enabling multi-factor authentication.

While adding a new MFA method can be a routine and legitimate action, it can also be indicative of an attacker's attempt to maintain persistence on a compromised account. By registering a new MFA method, attackers can potentially bypass existing security measures, allowing them to authenticate using stolen credentials without raising alarms. Monitoring for such changes is crucial, especially if the addition is not preceded by a user request or if it deviates from typical user behavior. If an attacker successfully registers a new MFA method on a compromised account, they can solidify their access, making it harder for legitimate users to regain control.

It focuses on three permissions, Application.ReadWrite.All (Entitlement ID 1bfefb4e-e0b5-418b-a88f-73c46d2cc8e9), AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All (06b708a9-e830-4db3-a914-8e69da51d44f), and RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory (9e3f62cf-ca93-4989-b6ce-bf83c28f9fe8). These permissions, crucial for controlling Azure AD settings, pose a high risk if misused. The query monitors Azure Active Directory workload events in the Office 365 Management Activity, specifically 'Update application' operations. It extracts and analyzes data to spot when these permissions are granted, gathering details about the user, object, and user agent involved. Due to the significant control these permissions provide, immediate investigation is crucial upon detection to prevent unauthorized modifications.

 description = This analytic identifies instances where potentially suspicious rights are delegated within the Office 365 environment. Specifically, it detects when a user is granted FullAccess, SendAs, or SendOnBehalf permissions on another user's mailbox. Such permissions can allow a user to access, send emails from, or send emails on behalf of the target mailbox. The detection leverages O365 audit logs, focusing on the Add-MailboxPermission operation. By parsing the parameters of this operation, the analytic filters for events where FullAccess, SendAs, or SendOnBehalf rights are granted. It then aggregates this data to capture the source user (who was granted the permissions), the destination user (whose mailbox was affected), the specific operation, and the type of access rights granted. Delegating mailbox rights, especially those as powerful as FullAccess, can pose significant security risks. While there are legitimate scenarios for these permissions, such as an executive assistant needing access to an executive's mailbox, there are also malicious scenarios where an attacker or a compromised insider might grant themselves unauthorized access to sensitive mailboxes. Monitoring for these permissions changes is crucial to detect potential insider threats, compromised accounts, or other malicious activities.If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user has been granted potentially high-risk permissions on another user's mailbox. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive emails, impersonation through sending emails as or on behalf of the mailbox owner, or data manipulation by altering or deleting emails. Immediate investigation is required to validate the legitimacy of the permission change and to assess the potential risks associated with the granted access.

This detection is made by a Splunk query to O365 management activity logs with the operation `Set-Mailbox` to gather information about mailbox configurations. Then, the query uses the `spath` function to extract the parameters and rename the "Identity" field as "src_user" and searches for entries where the "ForwardingSmtpAddress" field is not empty, which indicates the presence of a forwarding rule.

 description = The following analytic identifies instances where Office 365 has blocked a user's attempt to grant consent to an application deemed risky or potentially malicious. This suggests that the application has exhibited behaviors or characteristics that are commonly associated with malicious intent or poses a security risk. This detection leverages the O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to user consent actions and system-driven blocks. By filtering for blocked consent actions associated with applications, the analytic highlights instances where O365's built-in security measures have intervened. Applications that are flagged and blocked by O365 typically exhibit suspicious characteristics or behaviors. Monitoring for these blocked consent attempts helps security teams identify potential threats early on and can provide insights into users who might be targeted or susceptible to such risky applications. It's an essential layer of defense in ensuring that malicious or risky applications don't gain access to organizational data. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that the built-in security measures of O365 successfully prevented a potentially harmful application from gaining access. However, the attempt itself suggests that either a user might be targeted or that there's a presence of malicious applications trying to infiltrate the organization. Immediate investigation is required to understand the context of the block and to take further preventive measures.

 description = The following analytic identifies instances where a user has actively denied consent to an OAuth application seeking permissions within the Office 365 environment. This suggests that the user either recognized something suspicious about the application or chose not to grant it the requested permissions for other reasons. This detection leverages the O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on events related to user consent actions. By filtering for denied consent actions associated with OAuth applications, the analytic captures instances where users have actively rejected permission requests. While user-denied consents can be routine, they can also be indicative of users spotting potentially suspicious or unfamiliar applications. By monitoring these denied consent attempts, security teams can gain insights into applications that might be perceived as risky or untrusted by users. It can also serve as a feedback loop for security awareness training, indicating that users are being cautious about granting permissions. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user has actively prevented an OAuth application from gaining the permissions it requested. While this is a proactive security measure on the user's part, it's essential for security teams to review the context of the denial. Understanding why certain applications are being denied can help in refining application whitelisting policies and ensuring that no malicious applications are attempting to gain access.

Then, the analytic captures the source and user information for each detection and sorts the results in ascending order based on the risk score. Finally, the analytic filters the detections with a risk score below 80 and focuses only on high-risk detections.This detection is important because it provides valuable insights into the distribution of high-risk activities across different repositories. It also identifies the most vulnerable repositories that are frequently targeted by potential threats. Additionally, it proactively detects and responds to potential threats, thereby minimizing the impact of attacks and safeguarding critical assets. Finally, it provides a comprehensive view of the risk landscape and helps to make informed decisions to protect the organization's data and infrastructure. False positives might occur so it is important to identify the impact of the attack and prioritize response and mitigation efforts.

Netsh.exe is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh can be used as a persistence proxy technique to execute a helper .dll when netsh.exe is executed. In this search, we are looking for processes spawned by netsh.exe that are executing commands via the command line. Deprecated because we have another detection of the same type.

It also provides enhanced visibility into potential security threats and helps to proactively detect and respond to mitigate the risks associated with cybercriminal activities. This detection is made by examining the process activity on the host, specifically focusing on processes that are known to be associated with attacker tool names. This detection is important because it acts as an early warning system for potential security incidents that allows you to respond to security incidents promptly. False positives might occur due to legitimate administrative activities that can resemble malicious actions.

 description = The following analytic detects attempts to stop security-related services on the endpoint and helps to mitigate potential threats earlier, thereby minimizing the impact on the organization's security. The detection is made by using a Splunk query that searches for processes that involve the "sc.exe" command and include the phrase "stop" in their command. The query collects information such as the process name, process ID, parent process, user, destination, and timestamps. The detection is important because attempts to stop security-related services can indicate malicious activity or an attacker's attempt to disable security measures. This can impact the organization's security posture and can lead to the compromise of the endpoint and potentially the entire network. Disabling security services can allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate sensitive data, or launch further attacks, such as malware installation or privilege escalation. False positives might occur since there might be legitimate reasons for stopping these services in certain situations. Therefore, you must exercise caution and consider the context of the activity before taking any action. Next steps include reviewing the identified process and its associated details. You must also investigate any on-disk artifacts related to the process and review concurrent processes to determine the source of the attack.

 description = The following analytic detects the use of the copy command to dump credentials from a shadow copy so that you can detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks associated with credential dumping. The detection is made by using a Splunk query to search for specific processes that indicate credential dumping activity. The query looks for processes with command lines that include references to certain files, such as "sam", "security", "system", and "ntds.dit", located in system directories like "system32" or "windows". The detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to extract credentials from a shadow copy. Credential dumping is a common technique used by attackers to obtain sensitive login information and gain unauthorized access to systems to escalate privileges, move laterally within the network, or gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. False positives might occur since legitimate processes might also reference these files. During triage, it is crucial to review the process details, including the source and the command that is run. Additionally, you must capture and analyze any relevant on-disk artifacts and investigate concurrent processes to determine the source of the attack

 description = The following analytic detects the creation of a symlink to a shadow copy to identify potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks associated with symlink creation to shadow copies.  The detection is made by using a Splunk query that searches for processes with commands containing "mklink" and "HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy". This analytic retrieves information such as the destination, user, process name, process ID, parent process, original file name, and parent process ID from the Endpoint.Processes data model.  The detection is important because it indicates potential malicious activity since attackers might use this technique to manipulate or delete shadow copies, which are used for system backup and recovery. This detection helps to determine if an attacker is attempting to cover their tracks or prevent data recovery in the event of an incident. The impact of such an attack can be significant since it can hinder incident response efforts, prevent data restoration, and potentially lead to data loss or compromise. Next steps include reviewing the details of the process, such as the destination and the user responsible for creating the symlink. Additionally, you must examine the parent process, any relevant on-disk artifacts, and concurrent processes to identify the source of the attack.

 description = **WARNING**, this detection is marked **EXPERIMENTAL** by the Splunk Threat Research Team. This means that the detection has been manually tested but we do not have the associated attack data to perform automated testing or cannot share this attack dataset due to its sensitive nature. If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects a specific type of vulnerability known as a heap-based buffer overflow in the sudoedit command, commonly referred to as Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156. The detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for instances of the sudoedit command with the "-s" flag followed by a double quote. This combination of parameters is indicative of the vulnerability being exploited. The detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to exploit the Baron Samedit vulnerability. The Baron Samedit vulnerability allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges on a Linux system and run arbitrary code with root privileges, potentially leading to complete control over the affected system. The impact of a successful attack can be severe since it allows the attacker to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems. This can result in data breaches, unauthorized modifications, or even complete system compromise. Next steps include being aware of this vulnerability and actively monitoring any attempts to exploit it. By detecting and responding to such attacks in a timely manner, you can prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by the heap-based buffer overflow of sudoedit.

The following analytic detects the heap-based buffer overflow for the sudoedit command and identifies instances where the command "sudoedit -s *" is run using the osquery_process data source. This indicates that the sudoedit command is used with the "-s" flag, which is associated with the heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. The detection is important because it indicates a potential security vulnerability, specifically Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156, which helps to identify and respond to potential heap-based buffer overflow attacks to enhance the security posture of the organization. This vulnerability allows an attacker to escalate privileges and potentially gain unauthorized access to the system. If the attack is successful, the attacker can gain full control of the system, run arbitrary code, or access sensitive data. Such attacks can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and potential disruption of critical systems. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of the sudoedit command with the "-s" flag can also trigger this detection. You must carefully review and validate the findings before taking any action. Next steps include investigating all true positive detections promptly, reviewing the associated processes, gather relevant artifacts, identifying the source of the attack to contain the threat, mitigate the risks, and prevent further damage to the environment.

This detection is made by using the Splunk query `wineventlog_security` EventCode=4720 OR (EventCode=4732 Group_Name=Administrators) to search for relevant security events in the Windows event log. When a new account is created or an existing account is added to the Administrators group, this analytic identifies this behavior by looking for EventCode 4720 (A user account was created) or EventCode 4732 (A member was added to a security-enabled global group). This analytic specifically focuses on events where the Group_Name is set to Administrators. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker has gained elevated privileges and can perform malicious actions with administrative access. This can lead to significant impact, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, unauthorized modifications to systems or configurations, and potential disruption of critical services. identifying this behavior is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC). Next steps include reviewing the details of the security event, including the user account that was created or added to the Administrators group. Also, examine the time span between the first and last occurrence of the event to determine if the behavior is ongoing. Additionally, consider any contextual information, such as the destination where the account was created or added to understand the scope and potential impact of the attack.

 Upon investigating, look for network connections to remote destinations (internal or external). Be cautious to modify the query to look for "scrobj.dll", the ".dll" is not required to load scrobj. "scrobj.dll" will be loaded by "regsvr32.exe" upon execution.

 description = **WARNING**, this detection is marked **EXPERIMENTAL** by the Splunk Threat Research Team. This means that the detection has been manually tested but we do not have the associated attack data to perform automated testing or cannot share this attack dataset due to its sensitive nature. If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic uses a pre-trained Deep Learning model to predict whether a processname is suspicious or not. Malwares and malicious programs such as ransomware often use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) such as copying malicious files to the local machine to propagate themselves across the network. A key indicator of compromise is that after a successful execution of the malware, it copies itself as an executable file with a randomly generated filename and places this file in one of the directories. Such techniques are seen in several malwares such as TrickBot. We develop machine learning model that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to distinguish between malicious and benign processnames. The model is trained independently and is then made available for download. We use a character level RNN to classify malicious vs. benign processnames. The higher is_malicious_prob, the more likely is the processname to be suspicious (between [0,1]). The threshold for flagging a processname as suspicious is set as 0.5.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

The detection is made by monitoring logs with process information from endpoints and identifying instances where the rundll32 process is used in conjunction with the comsvcs.dll and MiniDump. This indicates potential LSASS dumping attempts used by threat actors to obtain valuable credentials. The detection is important because credential theft can lead to broader system compromise, persistence, lateral movement, and escalated privileges. No legitimate use of this technique has been identified yet. This behavior is often part of more extensive attack campaigns and is associated with numerous threat groups that use the stolen credentials to access sensitive information or systems, leading to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes. False positives can occur since legitimate uses of the LSASS process can cause benign activities to be flagged. Next steps include reviewing the processes involved in the LSASS dumping attempt after triage and inspecting any relevant on-disk artifacts and concurrent processes to identify the attack source.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

The "At" application can be used for automation purposes by administrators or network operators, so the filter macros should be updated to remove false positives. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker is trying to maintain access to the environment or potentially deliver additional malicious payloads, leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. To implement this analytic, ensure you are ingesting logs with the required fields from your endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. When a true positive is detected, it suggests that an attacker is attempting to establish persistence or deliver additional malicious payloads by leveraging the "At" application. This behavior can lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.\

This includes identifying the user, the parent process responsible for invoking the application, and the specific command-line arguments used. It is important to consider whether the execution is expected behavior by an administrator or network operator for legitimate automation purposes.\
 The presence of "At" application execution may indicate an attacker's attempt to maintain unauthorized access to the environment. Immediate investigation and response are necessary to mitigate further risks, identify the attacker's intentions, and prevent potential harm to the organization.

 action.escu.eli5 = The following analytic detects the execution of the "At" application in Linux, which can be used by attackers to create persistence entries on a compromised host. The "At" application can be used for automation purposes by administrators or network operators, so the filter macros should be updated to remove false positives. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker is trying to maintain access to the environment or potentially deliver additional malicious payloads, leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. To implement this analytic, ensure you are ingesting logs with the required fields from your endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. When a true positive is detected, it suggests that an attacker is attempting to establish persistence or deliver additional malicious payloads by leveraging the "At" application. This behavior can lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.\

Systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, similar to the combination of wininit.exe and services.exe on Windows. This process initializes a Linux system and starts defined services in unit files. Malicious actors, such as adversaries, malware, or red teamers, can exploit this feature by embedding a systemd service file for persistence on the targeted or compromised host.\
 The analytic works by monitoring logs with file name, file path, and process GUID data from your endpoints.

 Identifying restarted or re-enabled services is valuable for a SOC as it can indicate potential malicious activities attempting to maintain persistence or execute unauthorized actions on Linux systems. By detecting and investigating these events, security analysts can respond promptly to mitigate risks and prevent further compromise. The impact of a true positive can range from unauthorized access to data destruction or other damaging outcomes.

 description = **WARNING**, this detection is marked **EXPERIMENTAL** by the Splunk Threat Research Team. This means that the detection has been manually tested but we do not have the associated attack data to perform automated testing or cannot share this attack dataset due to its sensitive nature. If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following query identifies suspicious .aspx created in 3 paths identified by Microsoft as known drop locations for Exchange exploitation related to HAFNIUM group and recently disclosed vulnerablity named ProxyShell. Paths include: `\HttpProxy\owa\auth\`, `\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\`, and `\HttpProxy\OAB\`. The analytic is limited to process name MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe, which typically does not write .aspx files to disk. Upon triage, the suspicious .aspx file will likely look obvious on the surface. inspect the contents for script code inside. Identify additional log sources, IIS included, to review source and other potential exploitation. It is often the case that a particular threat is only applicable to a specific subset of systems in your environment. Typically analytics to detect those threats are written without the benefit of being able to only target those systems as well. Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers. A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously. If this theory is run against all publicly facing systems, the amount of noise it will generate will likely render this theory untenable. However, using the asset information to limit this analytic to just the Exchange servers will reduce the noise allowing the hunter to focus only on the systems where this behavioral change is relevant.

This means that the detection has been manually tested but we do not have the associated attack data to perform automated testing or cannot share this attack dataset due to its sensitive nature. If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following hunting analytic is designed to monitor and detect potential exploitation attempts targeting a PaperCut NG server by analyzing its debug log data. By focusing on public IP addresses accessing the PaperCut NG instance, this analytic aims to identify unauthorized or suspicious access attempts. Furthermore, it searches for specific URIs that have been discovered in the proof of concept code, which are associated with known exploits or vulnerabilities. The analytic is focused on the user admin. Regex is used mainly because the log is not parsed by Splunk and there is no TA for this debug log.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

This detection is made by a Splunk query to search for instances where the registry key "license" is found in the "Software\Remcos" path. This analytic combines information from two data models: Endpoint.Processes and Endpoint.Registry and retrieves process information such as user, process ID, process name, process path, destination, parent process name, parent process, and process GUID. This analytic also retrieves registry information such as registry path, registry key name, registry value name, registry value data, and process GUID. By joining the process GUID from the Endpoint.Processes data model with the process GUID from the Endpoint.Registry data model, the analytic identifies instances where the "license" registry key is found in the "Software\Remcos" path. This detection is important because it suggests that the host has been compromised by the Remcos RAT agent. Remcos is a well-known remote access Trojan that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. Identifying this behavior allows the SOC to take immediate action to remove the RAT agent and prevent further compromise. The impact of this attack can be severe, as the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised system as a launching point for further attacks.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

 Implementing this analytic requires ingesting logs with information about task schedules, specifically Windows Security Log EventCode 4698, from your endpoints. It is recommended to tune and filter known instances of task schedules used in your environment to minimize false positives.\
 Detecting the registration of suspicious tasks with HTTP command arguments is valuable for a SOC as it indicates potential malicious activity or an attempt to establish persistence on the system. If a true positive is found, further investigation is warranted to analyze the nature and purpose of the scheduled task, identify any downloaded files or payloads, and mitigate the associated risks.

 Identifying short-lived scheduled tasks is valuable for a SOC as it can indicate malicious activities attempting to move laterally or execute unauthorized code on Windows systems.

 description = The following analytic detects the creation and deletion of accounts in a short time period to identify potential threats earlier and take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks. Helps prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by unauthorized access or malicious activities within the environment. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for events with the result IDs 4720 and 4726 in the "Change" data model. The query then groups the results by time, user, and destination. The result is filtered to only include events with the specified result IDs. The "transaction" command is used to group events that occur within a specified time span and have the same user but are not connected. Finally, the relevant information such as the first and last time of the event, the count, user, destination, and result ID are displayed in a table. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to create and delete accounts rapidly, potentially to cover their tracks or gain unauthorized access. The impact of such an attack can include unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, or the ability to carry out further malicious activities within the environment.

 action.escu.eli5 = The following analytic detects the creation and deletion of accounts in a short time period to identify potential threats earlier and take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks. Helps prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by unauthorized access or malicious activities within the environment. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for events with the result IDs 4720 and 4726 in the "Change" data model. The query then groups the results by time, user, and destination. The result is filtered to only include events with the specified result IDs. The "transaction" command is used to group events that occur within a specified time span and have the same user but are not connected. Finally, the relevant information such as the first and last time of the event, the count, user, destination, and result ID are displayed in a table. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to create and delete accounts rapidly, potentially to cover their tracks or gain unauthorized access. The impact of such an attack can include unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, or the ability to carry out further malicious activities within the environment. Next steps include investigating the events flagged by the analytic, review the account creation and deletion activities, and analyze any associated logs or artifacts to determine the intent and impact of the attack.

To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

+description = This analytic leverages Sysmon Event ID 15, a critical file creation event, to detect the creation of Alternate Data Streams (ADS) on Windows systems. ADS is a feature of the NTFS file system that allows the storage of data in hidden streams attached to files. These streams are not visible in standard file listings, making them a popular technique for concealing malicious activity. Event ID 15 captures both the hash of the primary file content (unnamed stream) and the content of any additional named streams, which can include executables, scripts, or configuration data. Malware often exploits ADS to hide payloads, leveraging browser downloads to attach a Zone.Identifier stream, marking the file as originating from the Internet (Mark Of The Web, MOTW). This analytic is designed to identify such misuse by analyzing the content and creation patterns of named streams, including those under 1KB which may contain MOTW information. It is essential for detecting sophisticated threats that utilize non-executable file types or conceal malicious scripts within ADS, beyond the traditional focus on PE executables. The detection process involves monitoring for the creation of named streams, which are part of the NTFS structure and can be examined using tools like PowerShell for the presence of additional data streams or MOTW information. This approach helps in uncovering hidden payloads and tracking the origin of suspicious files downloaded via browsers or email clients, providing a comprehensive defense against ADS abuse.

 description = The following analytic identifies potential Kerberos ticket forging attacks, specifically the Diamond Ticket attack. This is detected when a user logs into a host and the GroupMembership field in event 4627 indicates a privileged group (e.g., Domain Admins), but the user does not actually belong to that group in the directory service. The detection leverages Windows Security Event Log 4627, which logs account logon events. The analytic cross-references the GroupMembership field from the event against a pre-populated lookup of actual group memberships. Its crucial to note that the accuracy and effectiveness of this detection heavily rely on the users diligence in populating and regularly updating this lookup table. Any discrepancies between the events GroupMembership and the lookup indicate potential ticket forging. Kerberos ticket forging, especially the Diamond Ticket attack, allows attackers to impersonate any user and potentially gain unauthorized access to resources. By forging a ticket that indicates membership in a privileged group, an attacker can bypass security controls and gain elevated privileges. Detecting such discrepancies in group memberships during logon events can be a strong indicator of this attack in progress, making it crucial for security teams to monitor and investigate. If validated as a true positive, this indicates that an attacker has successfully forged a Kerberos ticket and may have gained unauthorized access to critical resources, potentially with elevated privileges.

These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

However, it's important to note that modifying this value to 1 might not necessarily conform to the actual behavior, as certain registry settings may have specific accepted values or a defined range that differs from a simple binary representation. Changing registry values, especially those related to system services, should be approached cautiously. Incorrect modifications can potentially impact system stability or performance. Always ensure you understand the implications and have a backup before altering registry settings.

 description = The following analytic identifies a modification in the Windows registry to disable windows defender Signature Retirement. The DisableSignatureRetirement registry setting in Windows Defender controls the retirement or expiration of antivirus signatures used by Windows Defender Antivirus. When DisableSignatureRetirement is set to 1, it usually indicates that Windows Defender won't automatically retire or expire antivirus signatures. Antivirus signatures are files containing information about known malware and are used by Windows Defender to detect and protect against threats. Disabling signature retirement might prevent Windows Defender from automatically removing or retiring older or less relevant antivirus signatures. This can potentially increase the number of signatures in use and might impact system resources or the effectiveness of threat detection.

HVCI is a security feature in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 that helps protect the kernel and system processes from being tampered with by malicious code. HVCI relies on hardware-assisted virtualization and Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor to ensure that only kernel-mode code that has been signed by Microsoft or the system's hardware manufacturer can be executed. This prevents attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities to run unsigned code, like kernel-mode rootkits or other malicious software, at the kernel level. Disabling HVCI may expose the system to security risks and could be an indicator of a potential compromise or unauthorized activity. The analytic aims to detect and report events or configurations that lead to the disabling of HVCI.

These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

Natively, the binary is only installed on a domain controller. However, adversaries or administrators may install the Windows Remote Server Admin Tools for ldifde.exe. Ldifde.exe is a Microsoft Windows command-line utility used to import or export LDAP directory entries. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services over an IP network. LDIF, on the other hand, stands for LDAP Data Interchange Format, a standard plain-text data interchange format for representing LDAP directory entries. -i This is a flag used with Ldifde.exe to denote import mode. In import mode, Ldifde.exe takes an LDIF file and imports its contents into the LDAP directory. The data in the LDIF file might include new objects to be created, or modifications or deletions to existing objects. -f This flag is used to specify the filename of the LDIF file that Ldifde.exe will import from (in the case of the -i flag) or export to (without the -i flag). For example, if you wanted to import data from a file called data.ldif, you would use the command ldifde -i -f data.ldif. Keep in mind that while the use of Ldifde.exe is legitimate in many contexts, it can also be used maliciously. For instance, an attacker who has gained access to a domain controller could potentially use Ldifde.exe to export sensitive data or make unauthorized changes to the directory. Therefore, it's important to monitor for unusual or unauthorized use of this tool.

Windows Post-Exploitation refers to the phase that occurs after an attacker successfully compromises a Windows system. During this stage, attackers strive to maintain persistence, gather sensitive information, escalate privileges, and exploit the compromised environment further. Timely detection of post-exploitation activities is crucial for prompt response and effective mitigation. Common post-exploitation detections encompass identifying suspicious processes or services running on the system, detecting unusual network connections or traffic patterns, identifying modifications to system files or registry entries, monitoring abnormal user account activities, and flagging unauthorized privilege escalations.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

To implement this analytic, PowerShell Script Block Logging needs to be enabled on some or all endpoints. Analysts should be aware of benign administrative tasks that can trigger alerts and tune the analytic accordingly to reduce false positives. Upon triage, review the PowerShell logs for any unusual or unexpected cmdlet usage, IP addresses, user accounts, or timestamps. If these factors align with known malicious behavior patterns, immediate mitigation steps, such as isolation of the affected systems, user account changes, and relevant threat hunting activities, should be initiated.

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

 description = The following analytic detects the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks in Windows, specifically tasks created using schtasks.exe with the -create flag and an XML parameter in the command-line. This technique is commonly employed by threat actors, adversaries, and red teamers to establish persistence or achieve privilege escalation on targeted hosts. Notably, malware like Trickbot and Winter-Vivern have been observed using XML files to create scheduled tasks. Monitoring and investigating this activity is crucial to mitigate potential security risks. It is important to be aware that scripts or administrators may trigger this analytic, leading to potential false positives. To minimize false positives, adjust the filter based on the parent process or application.\
 When a true positive is detected, it suggests an attacker's attempt to gain persistence or execute additional malicious payloads, potentially resulting in data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. During triage, review the source of the scheduled task, the command to be executed, and capture any relevant on-disk artifacts. Analyze concurrent processes to identify the source of the attack. This analytic enables analysts to detect and respond to potential threats early, mitigating the associated risks effectively.

 description = **WARNING**, this detection is marked **EXPERIMENTAL** by the Splunk Threat Research Team. This means that the detection has been manually tested but we do not have the associated attack data to perform automated testing or cannot share this attack dataset due to its sensitive nature. If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects the use of certutil to download software, a behavior exhibited by the threat actor Flax Typhoon. This actor deploys a VPN connection by downloading an executable file for SoftEther VPN from their network infrastructure using one of several LOLBins, including certutil. The actor then uses the Service Control Manager (SCM) to create a Windows service that launches the VPN connection automatically when the system starts. This behavior allows the actor to monitor the availability of the compromised system and establish an RDP connection. This analytic identifies this behavior by monitoring for the use of certutil in conjunction with the downloading of software. This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it indicates a potential compromise of the system and the establishment of a persistent threat. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker has gained access to the environment and is attempting to maintain that access, potentially leading to further malicious activities such as data theft or ransomware attacks. Be aware of potential false positives - legitimate uses of certutil in your environment may cause benign activities to be flagged. Upon triage, review the command executed and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.

 description = This analytic focuses on detecting potentially malicious unsigned DLLs created in either the c:\windows\system32 or c:\windows\syswow64 folders. This particular technique was observed in the context of the Warzone (Ave Maria) RAT, where it employed a method known as DLL hijacking (dll-side-loading) by dropping the "dismcore.dll" to achieve privilege escalation. DLL hijacking is a stealthy attack technique used by cybercriminals to exploit the way Windows searches and loads DLLs. By placing a malicious DLL with the same name as one that a legitimate application is expected to load, the attacker can gain unauthorized access and execute malicious code. In the case of Warzone RAT (Ave Maria), the dropped "dismcore.dll" was intended to deceive the system into loading the rogue DLL instead of the legitimate version, thereby granting the malware elevated privileges and enabling further compromise of the target system. Detecting such suspicious DLLs is crucial in preventing privilege escalation attacks and other potential security breaches. Regular security assessments, thorough monitoring, and implementing security best practices are essential in safeguarding systems from such threats.

This analytic is related to potential exploitation of CVE-2021-31166. which is a kernel-mode device driver http.sys vulnerability. Current proof of concept code will blue-screen the operating system. However, http.sys used by many different Windows processes, including WinRM. In this case, identifying suspicious process create (child processes) from `wsmprovhost.exe` is what this analytic is identifying.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects the creation of WMI temporary event subscriptions. WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management technology that allows administrators to perform various tasks on Windows-based systems. Temporary event subscriptions are created to monitor specific events or changes on a system that help to detect potential threats early and take proactive measures to protect the organization's systems and data. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `wmi` EventCode=5860 Temporary to search for events with EventCode 5860, which indicates the creation of a temporary WMI event subscription. To further refine the search results, the query uses regular expressions (rex) to extract the query used in the event subscription. Then, it filters known benign queries related to system processes such as 'wsmprovhost.exe' and 'AntiVirusProduct', 'FirewallProduct', 'AntiSpywareProduct', which helps to focus on potentially malicious or suspicious queries. The detection is important because it indicates malicious activity since attackers use WMI to run commands, gather information, or maintain persistence within a compromised system. False positives might occur since legitimate uses of WMI event subscriptions in the environment might trigger benign activities to be flagged. Therefore, an extensive triage is necessary to review the specific query and assess its intent. Additionally, capturing and inspecting relevant on-disk artifacts and analyzing concurrent processes can help to identify the source of the attack.

The model is trained independently and is then made available for download. One of the prominent indicators of a domain being DGA generated is if the domain name consists of unusual character sequences or concatenated dictionary words. Adversaries often use clever techniques to obfuscate machine generated domain names as human generated. Predicting DGA generated domain names requires analysis and building a model based on carefully chosen features. The deep learning model we have developed uses the domain name to analyze patterns of character sequences along with carefully chosen custom features to predict if a domain is DGA generated. The model takes a domain name consisting of second-level and top-level domain names as input and outputs a dga_score. Higher the dga_score, the more likely the input domain is a DGA domain. The threshold for flagging a domain as DGA is set at 0.5.

SIGRed vulnerability allows attackers to run remote code on Windows DNS servers. By detecting SIGRed early, you can prevent further damage and protect the organization's network infrastructure. The detection is made by identifying specific DNS query types (SIG and KEY) in the Zeek DNS data and checks for high data transfer in the Zeek Conn data. If multiple instances of these indicators are found within a flow, it suggests the presence of SIGRed. The detection is important because it indicates a potential compromise of Windows DNS servers that suggests that an attacker might have gained unauthorized access to the DNS server and can run arbitrary code. The impact of this attack can be severe, leading to data exfiltration, unauthorized access, or disruption of critical services. Next steps include investigating the affected flow and taking immediate action to mitigate the vulnerability. This can involve patching the affected DNS server, isolating the server from the network, or conducting a forensic analysis to determine the extent of the compromise.

By detecting attempts to exploit the Zerologon vulnerability through Zeek RPC, SOC analysts can identify potential threats earlier and take appropriate action to mitigate the risks. This detection is made by a Splunk query that looks for specific Zeek RPC operations, including NetrServerPasswordSet2, NetrServerReqChallenge, and NetrServerAuthenticate3, which are aggregated by source and destination IP address and time. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to exploit the Zerologon vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to the domain controller. Zerologon vulnerability is a critical vulnerability that allows attackers to take over domain controllers without authentication, leading to a complete takeover of an organization's IT infrastructure. The impact of such an attack can be severe, potentially leading to data theft, ransomware, or other devastating outcomes. False positives might occur since legitimate Zeek RPC activity can trigger the analytic. Next steps include reviewing the identified source and destination IP addresses and the specific RPC operations used.

After identifying these systems, you will need to add the "common_rdp_source" or "common_rdp_destination" category to that system depending on the usage, using the Enterprise Security Assets and Identities framework.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects spikes in the number of Server Message Block (SMB) traffic connections. SMB is a network protocol used for sharing files, printers, and other resources between computers. This detection is made by a Splunk query that looks for SMB traffic connections on ports 139 and 445, as well as connections using the SMB application. The query calculates the average and standard deviation of the number of SMB connections over the past 70 minutes, and identifies any sources that exceed two standard deviations from the average. This helps to filter out false positives caused by normal fluctuations in SMB traffic. This detection is important because it identifies potential SMB-based attacks, such as ransomware or data theft, which often involve a large number of SMB connections. This  suggests that an attacker is attempting to exfiltrate data or spread malware within the network. Next steps include investigating the source of the traffic and determining if it is malicious. This can involve reviewing network logs, capturing and analyzing any relevant network packets, and correlating with other security events to identify the attack source and mitigate the risk.

Apache Commons Text is a Java library described as a library focused on algorithms working on strings. We can see it as a general-purpose text manipulation toolkit. This vulnerability affects the StringSubstitutor interpolator class, which is included in the Commons Text library. A default interpolator allows for string lookups that can lead to Remote Code Execution. This is due to a logic flaw that makes the script, dns, and url lookup keys interpolated by default, as opposed to what it should be, according to the documentation of the StringLookupFactory class.

 action.escu.eli5 = CVE-2022-40684 is a Fortinet appliance auth bypass that is actively being exploited and a POC is released publicy. The POC adds a SSH key to the appliance. Note that the exploit can be used with any HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc). The REST API request failing is not an indication that an attacker was unsuccessful. Horizon3 was able to modify the admin SSH keys though a REST API request that reportedly failed. The collection /api/v2/ endpoints can be used to configure the system and modify the administrator user. Any logs found that meet the above conditions and also have a URL containing /api/v2/ should be cause for concern. Further investigation of any matching log entries can reveal any damage an attack has done. Additionally, an attacker may perform the following actions to further compromise a system Modify the admin SSH key to enable the attacker to login to the compromised system. \

 description = The following analytic detects the exploitation of a remote code execution vulnerability in Juniper Networks devices. The vulnerability involves multiple steps, including uploading a malicious PHP file and an INI file to the target server, and then executing the PHP code by manipulating the PHP configuration via the uploaded INI file. The analytic specifically looks for requests to /webauth_operation.php?PHPRC=*, which are used to upload the files and execute the code, respectively. This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC because it indicates that an attacker is attempting to exploit the vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to the device and execute arbitrary code. If a true positive is found, it suggests that an attacker has successfully exploited the vulnerability and may have gained control over the device, leading to data theft, network compromise, or other damaging outcomes. Upon triage, review the request parameters and the response to determine if the exploitation was successful. Capture and inspect any relevant network traffic and server logs to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.

The correlation specifically looks for 5 distinct analyticstories to trigger. Modify or tune as needed for your organization. 5 analytics is an arbitrary number but was chosen to reduce the amount of noise but also require the 2 analytic stories or a ProxyShell and CobaltStrike to fire. Adversaries will exploit the vulnerable Exchange server, abuse SSRF, drop a web shell, utilize the PowerShell Exchange modules and begin post-exploitation.
 action.escu.how_to_implement = To implement this correlation, you will need to enable ProxyShell, ProxyNotShell and Cobalt Strike analytic stories (the anaytics themselves) and ensure proper data is being collected for Web and Endpoint datamodels. Run the correlation rule seperately to validate it is not triggering too much or generating incorrectly. Validate by running ProxyShell POC code and Cobalt Strike behavior.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at: research@splunk.com. The following analytic detects long URLs that contain multiple SQL commands. A proactive approach helps to detect and respond to potential threats earlier, mitigating the risks associated with SQL injection attacks. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for web traffic data where the destination category is a web server and the URL length is greater than 1024 characters or the HTTP user agent length is greater than 200 characters. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to exploit a web application through SQL injection. SQL injection is a common technique used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications and gain unauthorized access to databases. Attackers can insert malicious SQL commands into a URL to manipulate the application's database and retrieve sensitive information or modify data. The impact of a successful SQL injection attack can be severe, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, and even complete compromise of the affected system. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of web applications or specific URLs in your environment can trigger the detection. Therefore, you must review and validate any alerts generated by this analytic before taking any action. Next steps include reviewing the source and destination of the web traffic, as well as the specific URL and HTTP user agent. Additionally, capture and analyze any relevant on-disk artifacts and review concurrent processes to determine the source of the attack.

 The analytic operates by monitoring web traffic, specifically HTTP POST requests, directed towards a specific URL endpoint ("/saas./resttosaasservlet"). This endpoint is known to be vulnerable and is a common target for attackers exploiting this vulnerability.\
 The behavior this analytic detects is the sending of HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint. This is a significant indicator of an attempted exploit as it is the primary method used to trigger the vulnerability. The analytic detects this behavior by analyzing web traffic data and identifying HTTP POST requests directed at the vulnerable endpoint.\
 Identifying this behavior is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC) as it can indicate an active attempt to exploit a known vulnerability within the network. If the identified behavior is a true positive, it suggests an attacker is attempting to exploit the CVE-2023-20887 vulnerability in VMWare vRealize Network Insight. The impact of such an attack could be severe, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or further propagation within the network.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services.

Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

Identifying when this setting is disabled can help blue teams to quickly respond, investigate, and potentially uncover targeted phishing campaigns against their users. If an attacker successfully disables the \"risk-based step-up consent\" and subsequently launches an OAuth phishing campaign, they could gain unauthorized access to user data and other sensitive information within the M365 environment.

It identifies a notable increase in failed authentication attempts across a variety of unique user-and-IP address combinations, originating from multiple source IP addresses and countries, and employing different user agents. Such patterns suggest an adversary's attempt to bypass security controls by using a range of IP addresses to test commonly used passwords against numerous user accounts. The detection scrutinizes SignInLogs from Azure AD logs, particularly focusing on events with error code 50126, which signals a failed authentication due to incorrect credentials. By collating data over a five-minute interval, the analytic computes the distinct counts of user-and-IP combinations, unique users, source IPs, and countries. It then applies a set of thresholds to these metrics to pinpoint unusual activities that could indicate a coordinated attack effort. The thresholds set within the analytic (such as unique IPs, unique users, etc.) are initial guidelines and should be customized based on the organization's user behavior and risk profile. Recognizing this behavior is vital for security operations centers (SOCs) as distributed password spraying represents a more complex form of traditional password spraying.

A true positive detection would imply that an attacker is on the verge of gaining full access to the user's account, posing a threat that could lead to data exfiltration, lateral movement, or further malicious activities within the organization, necessitating immediate investigation and response to safeguard the organization's assets.", "tags": {"name": "Azure AD Multiple Denied MFA Requests For User", "analytic_story": ["Azure Active Directory Account Takeover"], "asset_type": "Azure Active Directory", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1621"], "nist": ["DE.CM"], "observable": [{"name": "user", "type": "User", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "User $user$ denied more than 9 MFA requests in a timespan of 10 minutes.", "risk_score": 54, "security_domain": "identity", "risk_severity": "medium", "atomic_guid": [], "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1621", "mitre_attack_technique": "Multi-Factor Authentication Request Generation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT29", "LAPSUS$", "Scattered Spider"]}]}, "search": "`azure_monitor_aad` category=SignInLogs operationName=\"Sign-in activity\" | rename properties.* as * | search status.errorCode=500121 status.additionalDetails=\"MFA denied; user declined the authentication\" | bucket span=10m _time | stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by user, status.additionalDetails, appDisplayName, user_agent | where count > 9 | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `azure_ad_multiple_denied_mfa_requests_for_user_filter`", "how_to_implement": "You must install the latest version of Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services from Splunkbase (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3110/#/details).

Given its broad scope and the sensitivity of some permissions that can only be granted via admin consent, it's crucial to monitor this action.

Next, the query uses the Splunk tstats command to gather the necessary information from the Change data model. Then, it filters the instances with unknown instance types and reviews previously seen instance types to determine if they are new or not.

The \"phase\" field is set to \"code\" to indicate that the alert pertains to code-related issues. The detection is important because dependabot Alerts can indicate vulnerabilities in the codebase that can be exploited by attackers.

The detection is made by using a Splunk query to search for pull requests in the `check_suite.pull_requests` field where the `id` is not specified. Next, the analytic retrieves information such as the author's name, the repository's full name, the head reference of the pull request, and the commit message from the `check_suite.head_commit` field. The analytic also includes a step to exclude known users by using the `github_known_users` lookup table, which helps to filter out pull requests from known users and focus on the pull requests from unknown users. The detection is important because it locates potential malicious activity or unauthorized access since unknown users can introduce malicious code or gain unauthorized access to repositories leading to unauthorized code changes, data breaches, or other security incidents. Next steps include reviewing the author's name, the repository involved, the head reference of the pull request, and the commit message upon triage of a potential pull request from an unknown user.

Disabling this feature can make the environment more susceptible to OAuth phishing attacks, where attackers trick users into granting permissions to malicious applications. Identifying when this setting is disabled can help blue teams to quickly respond, investigate, and potentially uncover targeted phishing campaigns against their users. If an attacker successfully disables the \"risk-based step-up consent\" and subsequently launches an OAuth phishing campaign, they could gain unauthorized access to user data and other sensitive information within the M365 environment.

It triggers when a single user account is involved in more than 8 authentication attempts, using 3 or more unique application IDs and more than 5 unique user agents within a short timeframe. This pattern is atypical for regular user behavior and may indicate an adversary's attempt to probe the environment, testing for multi-factor authentication requirements across different applications and platforms. The detection is based on analysis of O365 audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture.

Specifically, it detects scenarios where a user experiences more than nine Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) prompts within a 10-minute timeframe. Attackers may exploit MFA fatigue by repeatedly triggering MFA requests, hoping that the user, out of frustration or oversight, will approve a malicious authentication attempt. The detection leverages O365 management activity logs, focusing on Azure Active Directory events. It looks for the UserLoginFailed operation combined with a Success ResultStatus and an ErrorNumber of 500121, which indicates MFA prompts. By monitoring these specific events and conditions, the analytic captures and alerts on potential MFA fatigue scenarios. With MFA being a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity defenses, attackers are constantly seeking ways to bypass or exploit it. MFA fatigue is one such tactic, where attackers rely on user frustration or confusion caused by frequent MFA prompts. Detecting potential MFA fatigue scenarios allows security teams to proactively investigate and ensure that users aren't inadvertently granting access to malicious actors. If this detection flags a true positive, it suggests a potential attempt by an attacker to exploit MFA mechanisms to gain unauthorized access to an O365 account. Successful exploitation could lead to data breaches, unauthorized data access, or further compromise within the O365 environment.

Identify additional log sources, IIS included, to review source and other potential exploitation. It is often the case that a particular threat is only applicable to a specific subset of systems in your environment. Typically analytics to detect those threats are written without the benefit of being able to only target those systems as well. Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers.

Such techniques are seen in several malwares such as TrickBot. We develop machine learning model that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to distinguish between malicious and benign processnames.

The detection is important because credential theft can lead to broader system compromise, persistence, lateral movement, and escalated privileges. No legitimate use of this technique has been identified yet. This behavior is often part of more extensive attack campaigns and is associated with numerous threat groups that use the stolen credentials to access sensitive information or systems, leading to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.

This identifies file extensions in the file names of the written files. If any file write events with these extensions are found, it suggests a potential SamSam ransomware attack. This detection is important because SamSam ransomware is a highly destructive and financially motivated attack and suggests that the organization is at risk of having its files encrypted and held for ransom, which can lead to significant financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. False positives might occur since legitimate files with these extensions can exist in the environment. Therefore, next steps include conducting a careful analysis and triage to confirm the presence of a SamSam ransomware attack.

To implement this analytic, ensure you are ingesting logs with the required fields from your endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. When a true positive is detected, it suggests that an attacker is attempting to establish persistence or deliver additional malicious payloads by leveraging the \"At\" application. This behavior can lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.\\\nDuring triage, the SOC analyst should review the context surrounding the execution of the \"At\" application. This includes identifying the user, the parent process responsible for invoking the application, and the specific command-line arguments used. It is important to consider whether the execution is expected behavior by an administrator or network operator for legitimate automation purposes.\\\nThe presence of \"At\" application execution may indicate an attacker's attempt to maintain unauthorized access to the environment.

The detection is important because  it indicates the presence of malicious activity since Base64 encoding is commonly used to obfuscate malicious commands or payloads, and decoding it can be a step in running those commands.

This analytic also retrieves registry information such as registry path, registry key name, registry value name, registry value data, and process GUID. By joining the process GUID from the Endpoint.Processes data model with the process GUID from the Endpoint.Registry data model, the analytic identifies instances where the \"license\" registry key is found in the \"Software\\Remcos\" path. This detection is important because it suggests that the host has been compromised by the Remcos RAT agent. Remcos is a well-known remote access Trojan that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. Identifying this behavior allows the SOC to take immediate action to remove the RAT agent and prevent further compromise. The impact of this attack can be severe, as the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised system as a launching point for further attacks.

Helps prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by unauthorized access or malicious activities within the environment. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for events with the result IDs 4720 and 4726 in the \"Change\" data model. The query then groups the results by time, user, and destination. The result is filtered to only include events with the specified result IDs. The \"transaction\" command is used to group events that occur within a specified time span and have the same user but are not connected. Finally, the relevant information such as the first and last time of the event, the count, user, destination, and result ID are displayed in a table. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to create and delete accounts rapidly, potentially to cover their tracks or gain unauthorized access. The impact of such an attack can include unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, or the ability to carry out further malicious activities within the environment.

This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to hide their activities by using the Recycle Bin, which can lead to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes.

False positives might occur since legitimate changes to audit policies might also trigger the analytic. Upon triage, review the audit policy change event and investigate the source of the change. Additionally, you must capture and inspect any relevant on-disk artifacts and review concurrent processes to identify the attack source.\"", "tags": {"name": "Windows AD Domain Controller Audit Policy Disabled", "analytic_story": ["Sneaky Active Directory Persistence Tricks"], "asset_type": "Endpoint", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1562.001"], "nist": ["DE.CM"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "GPO $SubCategory$ of $Category$ was disabled on $dest$", "risk_score": 60, "security_domain": "endpoint", "risk_severity": "medium", "manual_test": "This search uses a lookup provided by Enterprise Security and needs to be manually tested", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1562.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Disable or Modify Tools", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT29", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Ember Bear", "FIN6", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Indrik Spider", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "MuddyWater", "Putter Panda", "Rocke", "TA2541", "TA505", "TeamTNT", "Turla", "Wizard Spider"]}]}, "search": "`wineventlog_security` EventCode=4719 (AuditPolicyChanges IN (\"%%8448\",\"%%8450\",\"%%8448, %%8450\") OR Changes IN (\"Failure removed\",\"Success removed\",\"Success removed, Failure removed\")) dest_category=\"domain_controller\"| replace \"%%8448\" with \"Success removed\", \"%%8450\" with \"Failure removed\", \"%%8448, %%8450\" with \"Success removed, Failure removed\" in AuditPolicyChanges | eval AuditPolicyChanges=coalesce(AuditPolicyChanges,Changes), SubcategoryGuid=coalesce(SubcategoryGuid,Subcategory_GUID) | stats min(_time) as _time values(host) as dest by AuditPolicyChanges SubcategoryGuid | lookup advanced_audit_policy_guids GUID as SubcategoryGuid OUTPUT Category SubCategory | `windows_ad_domain_controller_audit_policy_disabled_filter`", "how_to_implement": "Ensure you are ingesting EventCode `4719` from your domain controllers, the category domain_controller exists in assets and identities, and that assets and identities is enabled.

Natively, the binary is only installed on a domain controller. However, adversaries or administrators may install the Windows Remote Server Admin Tools for ldifde.exe. Ldifde.exe is a Microsoft Windows command-line utility used to import or export LDAP directory entries. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services over an IP network. LDIF, on the other hand, stands for LDAP Data Interchange Format, a standard plain-text data interchange format for representing LDAP directory entries. -i This is a flag used with Ldifde.exe to denote import mode. In import mode, Ldifde.exe takes an LDIF file and imports its contents into the LDAP directory. The data in the LDIF file might include new objects to be created, or modifications or deletions to existing objects. -f This flag is used to specify the filename of the LDIF file that Ldifde.exe will import from (in the case of the -i flag) or export to (without the -i flag). For example, if you wanted to import data from a file called data.ldif, you would use the command ldifde -i -f data.ldif. Keep in mind that while the use of Ldifde.exe is legitimate in many contexts, it can also be used maliciously. For instance, an attacker who has gained access to a domain controller could potentially use Ldifde.exe to export sensitive data or make unauthorized changes to the directory.

It looks for anomalies in PowerShell logs, specifically EventCode 4104, associated with script block logging. The analytic flags unusual or suspicious use patterns of key task-related cmdlets such as 'New-ScheduledTask', 'Set-ScheduledTask', and others, which are often used by attackers for persistence and remote execution of malicious code. If a true positive is found, it suggests an possible attacker is attempting to persist within the environment or potentially deliver additional malicious payloads, leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. To implement this analytic, PowerShell Script Block Logging needs to be enabled on some or all endpoints. Analysts should be aware of benign administrative tasks that can trigger alerts and tune the analytic accordingly to reduce false positives.

This behavior allows the actor to monitor the availability of the compromised system and establish an RDP connection. This analytic identifies this behavior by monitoring for the use of certutil in conjunction with the downloading of software. This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it indicates a potential compromise of the system and the establishment of a persistent threat. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker has gained access to the environment and is attempting to maintain that access, potentially leading to further malicious activities such as data theft or ransomware attacks.

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management technology that allows administrators to perform various tasks on Windows-based systems. Temporary event subscriptions are created to monitor specific events or changes on a system that help to detect potential threats early and take proactive measures to protect the organization's systems and data. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `wmi` EventCode=5860 Temporary to search for events with EventCode 5860, which indicates the creation of a temporary WMI event subscription. To further refine the search results, the query uses regular expressions (rex) to extract the query used in the event subscription. Then, it filters known benign queries related to system processes such as 'wsmprovhost.exe' and 'AntiVirusProduct', 'FirewallProduct', 'AntiSpywareProduct', which helps to focus on potentially malicious or suspicious queries. The detection is important because it indicates malicious activity since attackers use WMI to run commands, gather information, or maintain persistence within a compromised system. False positives might occur since legitimate uses of WMI event subscriptions in the environment might trigger benign activities to be flagged. Therefore, an extensive triage is necessary to review the specific query and assess its intent. Additionally, capturing and inspecting relevant on-disk artifacts and analyzing concurrent processes can help to identify the source of the attack.

The model is trained independently and is then made available for download. One of the prominent indicators of a domain being DGA generated is if the domain name consists of unusual character sequences or concatenated dictionary words. Adversaries often use clever techniques to obfuscate machine generated domain names as human generated. Predicting DGA generated domain names requires analysis and building a model based on carefully chosen features.

The query calculates the average and standard deviation of the number of SMB connections over the past 70 minutes, and identifies any sources that exceed two standard deviations from the average. This helps to filter out false positives caused by normal fluctuations in SMB traffic. This detection is important because it identifies potential SMB-based attacks, such as ransomware or data theft, which often involve a large number of SMB connections.

The implant is saved under the file path //usr//binos//conf//nginx-conf//cisco_service.conf and is not persistent, meaning a device reboot will remove it, but the newly created local user accounts remain active even after system reboots. The new user accounts have level 15 privileges, meaning they have full administrator access to the device. This privileged access to the devices and subsequent creation of new users is tracked as CVE-2023-20198.", "tags": {"name": "Cisco IOS XE Implant Access", "analytic_story": ["Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability"], "asset_type": "Network", "cis20": ["CIS 13"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1190"], "nist": ["DE.CM"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}, {"name": "src", "type": "IP Address", "role": ["Attacker"]}], "message": "Possible exploitation of CVE-2023-20198 against $dest$ by $src$.", "risk_score": 81, "security_domain": "network", "risk_severity": "high", "atomic_guid": [], "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}]}, "search": "| tstats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Web where Web.url IN (\"/webui/logoutconfirm.html?logon_hash=*\") Web.http_method=POST Web.status=200 by Web.http_user_agent, Web.status Web.http_method, Web.url, Web.url_length, Web.src, Web.dest, sourcetype | `drop_dm_object_name(\"Web\")` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`| `cisco_ios_xe_implant_access_filter`", "how_to_implement": "This detection requires the Web datamodel to be populated from a supported Technology Add-On like Splunk for Apache, Splunk for Nginx, or Splunk for Palo Alto.", "known_false_positives": "False positives may be present, restrict to Cisco IOS XE devices or perimeter appliances.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services.

Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

Identifying when this setting is disabled can help blue teams to quickly respond, investigate, and potentially uncover targeted phishing campaigns against their users. If an attacker successfully disables the \"risk-based step-up consent\" and subsequently launches an OAuth phishing campaign, they could gain unauthorized access to user data and other sensitive information within the M365 environment.

It identifies a notable increase in failed authentication attempts across a variety of unique user-and-IP address combinations, originating from multiple source IP addresses and countries, and employing different user agents. Such patterns suggest an adversary's attempt to bypass security controls by using a range of IP addresses to test commonly used passwords against numerous user accounts. The detection scrutinizes SignInLogs from Azure AD logs, particularly focusing on events with error code 50126, which signals a failed authentication due to incorrect credentials. By collating data over a five-minute interval, the analytic computes the distinct counts of user-and-IP combinations, unique users, source IPs, and countries. It then applies a set of thresholds to these metrics to pinpoint unusual activities that could indicate a coordinated attack effort. The thresholds set within the analytic (such as unique IPs, unique users, etc.) are initial guidelines and should be customized based on the organization's user behavior and risk profile. Recognizing this behavior is vital for security operations centers (SOCs) as distributed password spraying represents a more complex form of traditional password spraying. Attackers distribute the source of their attempts to evade detection mechanisms that typically monitor for single-source IP anomalies. Prompt detection of such distributed activities is essential to thwart unauthorized access attempts, prevent account compromises, and mitigate the risk of further malicious activities within the organization's network. A true positive alert from this analytic suggests an active distributed password spraying attack against the organization's Azure AD tenant.

It triggers when a single user account is involved in more than 8 authentication attempts, using 3 or more unique application IDs and more than 5 unique user agents within a short timeframe. This pattern is atypical for regular user behavior and may indicate an adversary's attempt to probe the environment, testing for multi-factor authentication requirements across different applications and platforms. The detection is based on analysis of Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture. If validated as a true positive, this detection points to a compromised account, signaling that an attacker is actively attempting to navigate security controls to maintain access and potentially escalate privileges. This could lead to further exploitation, lateral movement within the network, and eventual data exfiltration.

Specifically, it identifies scenarios where there are more than 10 unsuccessful login attempts within a short time frame. The detection leverages Office365 management activity logs, specifically the AzureActiveDirectoryStsLogon records from the AzureActiveDirectory workload. It aggregates these logs in 5-minute intervals to count the number of failed login attempts and associates them with the originating source IP address. Multiple failed login attempts from a single source can be indicative of brute-force attacks, password spraying, or other malicious authentication attempts.

By monitoring these logs, the analytic captures and alerts on any actions that result in the deactivation or disabling of MFA for a user. MFA is a cornerstone of modern security practices, providing an additional layer of protection beyond just a password.

Monitoring for such changes is crucial to detect potential security breaches and to ensure that security best practices are consistently applied. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user's account is now at increased risk of unauthorized access, as the added security layer of MFA has been removed.

Specifically, it detects scenarios where a user experiences more than nine Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) prompts within a 10-minute timeframe. Attackers may exploit MFA fatigue by repeatedly triggering MFA requests, hoping that the user, out of frustration or oversight, will approve a malicious authentication attempt. The detection leverages O365 management activity logs, focusing on Azure Active Directory events. It looks for the UserLoginFailed operation combined with a Success ResultStatus and an ErrorNumber of 500121, which indicates MFA prompts. By monitoring these specific events and conditions, the analytic captures and alerts on potential MFA fatigue scenarios. With MFA being a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity defenses, attackers are constantly seeking ways to bypass or exploit it. MFA fatigue is one such tactic, where attackers rely on user frustration or confusion caused by frequent MFA prompts. Detecting potential MFA fatigue scenarios allows security teams to proactively investigate and ensure that users aren't inadvertently granting access to malicious actors.

This detection is made by a Splunk query to O365 management activity logs with the operation `Set-Mailbox` to gather information about mailbox configurations. Then, the query uses the `spath` function to extract the parameters and rename the \"Identity\" field as \"src_user\" and searches for entries where the \"ForwardingSmtpAddress\" field is not empty, which indicates the presence of a forwarding rule. Next, the analytic uses the `stats` command to group the results by the forwarding email address and count the number of unique source users (`src_user`). Finally, it filters the results and only retains entries where the count of source users (`count_src_user`) is greater than 1, which indicates that multiple users have set up forwarding rules to the same destination. This detection is important because it suggests that multiple users are forwarding emails to the same destination without proper authorization, which can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, loss of data control, or unauthorized access to confidential emails. Investigating and addressing this issue promptly can help prevent data breaches and mitigate potential damage.indicates a potential security risk since multiple users forwarding emails to the same destination can be a sign of unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or a compromised account.

This analytic retrieves information such as the destination, user, process name, process ID, parent process, original file name, and parent process ID from the Endpoint.Processes data model.  The detection is important because it indicates potential malicious activity since attackers might use this technique to manipulate or delete shadow copies, which are used for system backup and recovery. This detection helps to determine if an attacker is attempting to cover their tracks or prevent data recovery in the event of an incident. The impact of such an attack can be significant since it can hinder incident response efforts, prevent data restoration, and potentially lead to data loss or compromise.

Identify additional log sources, IIS included, to review source and other potential exploitation. It is often the case that a particular threat is only applicable to a specific subset of systems in your environment. Typically analytics to detect those threats are written without the benefit of being able to only target those systems as well. Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers. A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously. If this theory is run against all publicly facing systems, the amount of noise it will generate will likely render this theory untenable.

This detection is made by using the Splunk query `wineventlog_security` EventCode=4720 OR (EventCode=4732 Group_Name=Administrators) to search for relevant security events in the Windows event log. When a new account is created or an existing account is added to the Administrators group, this analytic identifies this behavior by looking for EventCode 4720 (A user account was created) or EventCode 4732 (A member was added to a security-enabled global group). This analytic specifically focuses on events where the Group_Name is set to Administrators. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker has gained elevated privileges and can perform malicious actions with administrative access. This can lead to significant impact, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, unauthorized modifications to systems or configurations, and potential disruption of critical services. identifying this behavior is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC). Next steps include reviewing the details of the security event, including the user account that was created or added to the Administrators group. Also, examine the time span between the first and last occurrence of the event to determine if the behavior is ongoing.

Malwares and malicious programs such as ransomware often use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) such as copying malicious files to the local machine to propagate themselves across the network. A key indicator of compromise is that after a successful execution of the malware, it copies itself as an executable file with a randomly generated filename and places this file in one of the directories. Such techniques are seen in several malwares such as TrickBot. We develop machine learning model that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to distinguish between malicious and benign processnames.

The detection is important because credential theft can lead to broader system compromise, persistence, lateral movement, and escalated privileges. No legitimate use of this technique has been identified yet. This behavior is often part of more extensive attack campaigns and is associated with numerous threat groups that use the stolen credentials to access sensitive information or systems, leading to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.

This identifies file extensions in the file names of the written files. If any file write events with these extensions are found, it suggests a potential SamSam ransomware attack. This detection is important because SamSam ransomware is a highly destructive and financially motivated attack and suggests that the organization is at risk of having its files encrypted and held for ransom, which can lead to significant financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. False positives might occur since legitimate files with these extensions can exist in the environment. Therefore, next steps include conducting a careful analysis and triage to confirm the presence of a SamSam ransomware attack.

To implement this analytic, ensure you are ingesting logs with the required fields from your endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. When a true positive is detected, it suggests that an attacker is attempting to establish persistence or deliver additional malicious payloads by leveraging the \"At\" application. This behavior can lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.\\\nDuring triage, the SOC analyst should review the context surrounding the execution of the \"At\" application. This includes identifying the user, the parent process responsible for invoking the application, and the specific command-line arguments used. It is important to consider whether the execution is expected behavior by an administrator or network operator for legitimate automation purposes.\\\nThe presence of \"At\" application execution may indicate an attacker's attempt to maintain unauthorized access to the environment.

The detection is important because  it indicates the presence of malicious activity since Base64 encoding is commonly used to obfuscate malicious commands or payloads, and decoding it can be a step in running those commands.

This analytic also retrieves registry information such as registry path, registry key name, registry value name, registry value data, and process GUID. By joining the process GUID from the Endpoint.Processes data model with the process GUID from the Endpoint.Registry data model, the analytic identifies instances where the \"license\" registry key is found in the \"Software\\Remcos\" path. This detection is important because it suggests that the host has been compromised by the Remcos RAT agent. Remcos is a well-known remote access Trojan that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. Identifying this behavior allows the SOC to take immediate action to remove the RAT agent and prevent further compromise. The impact of this attack can be severe, as the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised system as a launching point for further attacks.

Helps prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by unauthorized access or malicious activities within the environment. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for events with the result IDs 4720 and 4726 in the \"Change\" data model. The query then groups the results by time, user, and destination. The result is filtered to only include events with the specified result IDs. The \"transaction\" command is used to group events that occur within a specified time span and have the same user but are not connected. Finally, the relevant information such as the first and last time of the event, the count, user, destination, and result ID are displayed in a table. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to create and delete accounts rapidly, potentially to cover their tracks or gain unauthorized access. The impact of such an attack can include unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, or the ability to carry out further malicious activities within the environment.

This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to hide their activities by using the Recycle Bin, which can lead to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes.

ADS is a feature of the NTFS file system that allows the storage of data in hidden streams attached to files. These streams are not visible in standard file listings, making them a popular technique for concealing malicious activity. Event ID 15 captures both the hash of the primary file content (unnamed stream) and the content of any additional named streams, which can include executables, scripts, or configuration data. Malware often exploits ADS to hide payloads, leveraging browser downloads to attach a Zone.Identifier stream, marking the file as originating from the Internet (Mark Of The Web, MOTW). This analytic is designed to identify such misuse by analyzing the content and creation patterns of named streams, including those under 1KB which may contain MOTW information. It is essential for detecting sophisticated threats that utilize non-executable file types or conceal malicious scripts within ADS, beyond the traditional focus on PE executables. The detection process involves monitoring for the creation of named streams, which are part of the NTFS structure and can be examined using tools like PowerShell for the presence of additional data streams or MOTW information.

Natively, the binary is only installed on a domain controller. However, adversaries or administrators may install the Windows Remote Server Admin Tools for ldifde.exe. Ldifde.exe is a Microsoft Windows command-line utility used to import or export LDAP directory entries. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services over an IP network. LDIF, on the other hand, stands for LDAP Data Interchange Format, a standard plain-text data interchange format for representing LDAP directory entries. -i This is a flag used with Ldifde.exe to denote import mode. In import mode, Ldifde.exe takes an LDIF file and imports its contents into the LDAP directory. The data in the LDIF file might include new objects to be created, or modifications or deletions to existing objects. -f This flag is used to specify the filename of the LDIF file that Ldifde.exe will import from (in the case of the -i flag) or export to (without the -i flag). For example, if you wanted to import data from a file called data.ldif, you would use the command ldifde -i -f data.ldif. Keep in mind that while the use of Ldifde.exe is legitimate in many contexts, it can also be used maliciously. For instance, an attacker who has gained access to a domain controller could potentially use Ldifde.exe to export sensitive data or make unauthorized changes to the directory.

It looks for anomalies in PowerShell logs, specifically EventCode 4104, associated with script block logging. The analytic flags unusual or suspicious use patterns of key task-related cmdlets such as 'New-ScheduledTask', 'Set-ScheduledTask', and others, which are often used by attackers for persistence and remote execution of malicious code. If a true positive is found, it suggests an possible attacker is attempting to persist within the environment or potentially deliver additional malicious payloads, leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. To implement this analytic, PowerShell Script Block Logging needs to be enabled on some or all endpoints. Analysts should be aware of benign administrative tasks that can trigger alerts and tune the analytic accordingly to reduce false positives.

This actor deploys a VPN connection by downloading an executable file for SoftEther VPN from their network infrastructure using one of several LOLBins, including certutil.

This behavior allows the actor to monitor the availability of the compromised system and establish an RDP connection.

This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it indicates a potential compromise of the system and the establishment of a persistent threat. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker has gained access to the environment and is attempting to maintain that access, potentially leading to further malicious activities such as data theft or ransomware attacks. Be aware of potential false positives - legitimate uses of certutil in your environment may cause benign activities to be flagged. Upon triage, review the command executed and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.", "tags": {"name": "Windows SQL Spawning CertUtil", "analytic_story": ["Flax Typhoon"], "asset_type": "Endpoint", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Command and Control"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1105"], "nist": ["DE.CM"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Endpoint", "role": ["Victim"]}, {"name": "user", "type": "User", "role": ["Victim"]}, {"name": "process_name", "type": "Process", "role": ["Target"]}], "message": "$process_name$ was launched on $dest$ by $user$.

This particular technique was observed in the context of the Warzone (Ave Maria) RAT, where it employed a method known as DLL hijacking (dll-side-loading) by dropping the \"dismcore.dll\" to achieve privilege escalation. DLL hijacking is a stealthy attack technique used by cybercriminals to exploit the way Windows searches and loads DLLs. By placing a malicious DLL with the same name as one that a legitimate application is expected to load, the attacker can gain unauthorized access and execute malicious code. In the case of Warzone RAT (Ave Maria), the dropped \"dismcore.dll\" was intended to deceive the system into loading the rogue DLL instead of the legitimate version, thereby granting the malware elevated privileges and enabling further compromise of the target system. Detecting such suspicious DLLs is crucial in preventing privilege escalation attacks and other potential security breaches.

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management technology that allows administrators to perform various tasks on Windows-based systems. Temporary event subscriptions are created to monitor specific events or changes on a system that help to detect potential threats early and take proactive measures to protect the organization's systems and data. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `wmi` EventCode=5860 Temporary to search for events with EventCode 5860, which indicates the creation of a temporary WMI event subscription. To further refine the search results, the query uses regular expressions (rex) to extract the query used in the event subscription. Then, it filters known benign queries related to system processes such as 'wsmprovhost.exe' and 'AntiVirusProduct', 'FirewallProduct', 'AntiSpywareProduct', which helps to focus on potentially malicious or suspicious queries. The detection is important because it indicates malicious activity since attackers use WMI to run commands, gather information, or maintain persistence within a compromised system. False positives might occur since legitimate uses of WMI event subscriptions in the environment might trigger benign activities to be flagged. Therefore, an extensive triage is necessary to review the specific query and assess its intent.

SMB is a network protocol used for sharing files, printers, and other resources between computers. This detection is made by a Splunk query that looks for SMB traffic connections on ports 139 and 445, as well as connections using the SMB application. The query calculates the average and standard deviation of the number of SMB connections over the past 70 minutes, and identifies any sources that exceed two standard deviations from the average. This helps to filter out false positives caused by normal fluctuations in SMB traffic. This detection is important because it identifies potential SMB-based attacks, such as ransomware or data theft, which often involve a large number of SMB connections. This  suggests that an attacker is attempting to exfiltrate data or spread malware within the network. Next steps include investigating the source of the traffic and determining if it is malicious.

An attacker could compromise the Documentum application, manipulate or steal sensitive content, and potentially gain unauthorized access to other system resources. An intrusion of this nature could disrupt business operations, result in data breaches, and even damage the organization's reputation. \\\nHowever, it's important to note that false positives may occur. For example, legitimate but uncommon file uploads might match these URL patterns. It's crucial to verify any alerts generated by this analytic to ensure accurate threat detection. This analytic provides critical insights into potential attack attempts and assists in maintaining the integrity and security of enterprise content management systems like Documentum.", "tags": {"name": "Citrix ShareFile Exploitation CVE-2023-24489", "analytic_story": ["Citrix ShareFile RCE CVE-2023-24489"], "asset_type": "Network", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1190"], "nist": ["DE.AE"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "Possible expliotation of CVE-2023-24489 against $dest$.", "risk_score": 45, "security_domain": "Network", "risk_severity": "low", "atomic_guid": [], "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}]}, "search": "| tstats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Web where Web.url=\"/documentum/upload.aspx?*\" AND Web.url IN (\"*parentid=*\",\"*filename=*\",\"*uploadId=*\") AND Web.url IN (\"*unzip=*\", \"*raw=*\") Web.http_method=POST by Web.http_user_agent, Web.status Web.http_method, Web.url, Web.url_length, Web.src, Web.dest, sourcetype | `drop_dm_object_name(\"Web\")` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`| `citrix_sharefile_exploitation_cve_2023_24489_filter`", "how_to_implement": "Dependent upon the placement of the ShareFile application, ensure the latest Technology Add-On is eneabled.

In the event of a true positive, the implications are severe: an attacker might have gained unbridled access to sensitive organizational data or could modify systems maliciously.

Attackers can insert malicious SQL commands into a URL to manipulate the application's database and retrieve sensitive information or modify data. The impact of a successful SQL injection attack can be severe, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, and even complete compromise of the affected system. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of web applications or specific URLs in your environment can trigger the detection.

The malicious activity includes beaconing to actor controlled infrastructure, deployment of second stage payloads, and, in a small number of cases, hands on keyboard activity. (CrowdStrike)", "narrative": "On March 22, 2023, cybersecurity firm SentinelOne observed a surge in behavioral detections of trojanized 3CXDesktopApp installers, a popular PABX voice and video conferencing software. The multi-stage attack chain, which automatically quarantines trojanized installers, involves downloading ICO files with base64 data from GitHub and eventually leads to a 3rd stage infostealer DLL that is still under analysis. While the Mac installer remains unconfirmed as trojanized, ongoing investigations are also examining other potentially compromised applications, such as Chrome extensions. The threat actor behind the supply chain compromise, which started in February 2022, has used a code signing certificate to sign the trojanized binaries, but connections to existing threat clusters remain unclear. SentinelOne updated their IOCs on March 30th, 2023, with contributions from the research community and continues to monitor the situation for further developments. 3CX identified the vulnerability in the recent versions 18.12.407 and 18.12.416 for the desktop app. A new certificate for the app will also be produced.", "references": ["https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/smoothoperator-ongoing-campaign-trojanizes-3cx-software-in-software-supply-chain-attack/", "https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/03/30/supply-chain-attack-against-3cxdesktopapp", "https://www.reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/comments/125r3uu/20230329_situational_awareness_crowdstrike/", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/crowdstrike-endpoint-security-detection-re-3cx-desktop-app.119934/page-2#post-558898", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/3cx-desktopapp-security-alert.119951/", "https://www.elastic.co/security-labs/elastic-users-protected-from-suddenicon-supply-chain-attack", "https://www.volexity.com/blog/2023/03/30/3cx-supply-chain-compromise-leads-to-iconic-incident/"], "tags": {"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "analytic_story": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1195.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "Cobalt Group", "Dragonfly", "FIN7", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Sandworm Team", "Threat Group-3390"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT33", "APT39", "Evilnum", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Leafminer", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT3", "APT33", "APT37", "Ajax Security Team", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leafminer", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Sandworm Team", "Stealth Falcon", "TA505", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - 3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators - Rule", "ESCU - Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software - Rule", "ESCU - Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}]}, {"name": "IcedID", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2021-07-29", "version": 1, "id": "1d2cc747-63d7-49a9-abb8-93aa36305603", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the IcedID banking trojan, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process injection, shellcode execution and data collection.", "narrative": "IcedId banking trojan campaigns targeting banks and other vertical sectors.This malware is known in Microsoft Windows OS targetting browser such as firefox and chrom to steal banking information.

This story focuses on the abnormal behavior within Kubernetes environments that can be indicative of security threats. Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication, all of which can be exploited by attackers. Observability data, such as metrics, play a crucial role in identifying these abnormal behaviors. These behaviors could be a result of attacks on the control plane, exploitation of misconfigurations, or breaches of containerized applications.

"Kerberos, initially named after Cerberus, the three-headed dog in Greek mythology, is a network authentication protocol that allows computers and users to prove their identity through a trusted third-party. This trusted third-party issues Kerberos tickets using symmetric encryption to allow users access to services and network resources based on their privilege level. Kerberos is the default authentication protocol used on Windows Active Directory networks since the introduction of Windows Server 2003. With Kerberos being the backbone of Windows authentication, it is commonly abused by adversaries across the different phases of a breach including initial access, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, lateral movement, etc.\\ This Analytic Story groups detection use cases in which the Kerberos protocol is abused. Defenders can leverage these analytics to detect and hunt for adversaries engaging in Kerberos based attacks.", "references": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol)",

"Detect and investigate tactics, techniques, and procedures around how attackers move laterally within an Active Directory environment. Since lateral movement is often a necessary step in a breach, it is important for cyber defenders to deploy detection coverage.", "narrative": "Once attackers gain a foothold within an enterprise, they will seek to expand their accesses and leverage techniques that facilitate lateral movement. Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation.\\\nIndications of lateral movement in an Active Directory network can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, Service Control Manager, the DCOM protocol, WinRM or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor.\\\nAn adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders.\\\nIf there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. \\\n It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented. Analysts should account for all processes to ensure that the attackers did not install unauthorized software.", "references":

Password Spraying attacks within Active Directory environments.", "narrative": "In a password spraying attack, adversaries leverage one or a small list of commonly used / popular passwords against a large volume of usernames to acquire valid account credentials. Unlike a Brute Force attack that targets a specific user or small group of users with a large number of passwords, password spraying follows the opposite aproach and increases the chances of obtaining valid credentials while avoiding account lockouts. This allows adversaries to remain undetected if the target organization does not have the proper monitoring and detection controls in place.\\\nPassword Spraying can be leveraged by adversaries across different stages in an attack. It can be used to obtain an iniial access to an environment but can also be used to escalate privileges when access has been already achieved. In some scenarios, this technique capitalizes on a security policy most organizations implement, password rotation. As enterprise users change their passwords, it is possible some pick predictable, seasonal passwords such as `$CompanyNameWinter`, `Summer2021`, etc.\\\nSpecifically, this Analytic Story is focused on detecting possible Password Spraying attacks against Active Directory environments leveraging Windows Event Logs in the `Account Logon` and `Logon/Logoff` Advanced Audit Policy categories. It presents 16 detection analytics which can aid defenders in identifying instances where one source user, source host or source process attempts to authenticate against a target or targets using a high or statiscally unsual, number of unique users. A user, host or process attempting to authenticate with multiple users is not common behavior for legitimate systems and should be monitored by security teams. Possible false positive scenarios include but are not limited to vulnerability scanners, remote administration tools, multi-user systems and missconfigured systems. These should be easily spotted when first implementing the detection and addded to an allow list or lookup table. The presented detections can also be used in Threat Hunting exercises.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1110/003/", "https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/04/23/protecting-organization-password-spray-attacks/", "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn452415(v=ws.11)"], "tags": {"name": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "analytic_story": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1110.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Password Spraying", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT33", "Chimera", "HEXANE", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Silent Librarian"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1110", "mitre_attack_technique": "Brute Force", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT38", "APT39", "DarkVishnya", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "Fox Kitten", "HEXANE", "OilRig", "Turla"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities.\\\nActive Directory is a central component of most enterprise networks, providing authentication and authorization services for users, computers, and other resources. It stores sensitive information such as passwords, user accounts, and security policies, and is therefore a high-value target for attackers. Privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory typically involve exploiting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations across the network to gain elevated privileges, such as Domain Administrator access. Once an attacker has escalated their privileges and taken full control of a domain, they can easily move laterally throughout the network, access sensitive data, and carry out further attacks. Security teams should monitor for privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory to identify a breach before attackers achieve operational success.\\\nThe following analytic story groups detection

CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-08-23", "version": 1, "id": "e33e2e38-f9c2-432d-8be6-bc67b92aa82e", "description": "In July 2023, a significant vulnerability, CVE-2023-29298, affecting Adobe ColdFusion was uncovered by Rapid7, shedding light on an access control bypass mechanism. This vulnerability allows attackers to access sensitive ColdFusion Administrator endpoints by exploiting a flaw in the URL path validation. Disturbingly, this flaw can be chained with another critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-26360, which has been actively exploited. The latter enables unauthorized arbitrary code execution and file reading. Adobe has promptly addressed these vulnerabilities, but the intricacies and potential ramifications of their combination underscore the importance of immediate action by organizations. With active exploitation in the wild and the ability to bypass established security measures, the situation is alarming. Organizations are urged to apply the updates provided by Adobe immediately, considering the active threat landscape and the severe implications of these chained vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "Adobe ColdFusion, a prominent application server, has been thrust into the cybersecurity spotlight due to two intertwined vulnerabilities. The first, CVE-2023-29298, identified by Rapid7 in July 2023, pertains to an access control bypass in ColdFusion's security mechanisms. This flaw allows attackers to access protected ColdFusion Administrator endpoints simply by manipulating the URL path, specifically by inserting an additional forward slash.\\ Compounding the threat is the revelation that CVE-2023-29298 can be chained with CVE-2023-26360, another severe ColdFusion vulnerability. This latter vulnerability, which has seen active exploitation, permits unauthorized attackers to execute arbitrary code or read arbitrary files on the affected system. In practice, an attacker could exploit the access control bypass to access sensitive ColdFusion endpoints and subsequently exploit the arbitrary code execution vulnerability, broadening their control and access over the targeted system. \\ The consequences of these vulnerabilities are manifold. Attackers can potentially login to the ColdFusion Administrator with known credentials, bruteforce their way in, leak sensitive information, or exploit other vulnerabilities in the exposed CFM and CFC files. This combination of vulnerabilities significantly heightens the risk profile for organizations using the affected versions of Adobe ColdFusion. \\ Addressing the urgency, Adobe released fixes for these vulnerabilities in July 2023, urging organizations to update to ColdFusion 2023 GA build, ColdFusion 2021 Update 7, and ColdFusion 2018 Update 17. However, Rapid7's disclosure highlights a potential incomplete fix, suggesting that organizations should remain vigilant and proactive in their security measures. \\\nIn conclusion, the discovery of these vulnerabilities and their potential to be exploited in tandem presents a significant security challenge. Organizations using Adobe ColdFusion must prioritize the application of security updates, monitor their systems closely for signs of intrusion, and remain updated on any further developments related to these vulnerabilities.", "references": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb23-25.html", "https://twitter.com/stephenfewer/status/1678881017526886400?s=20", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/07/11/cve-2023-29298-adobe-coldfusion-access-control-bypass", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisa-warns-of-adobe-coldfusion-bug-exploited-as-a-zero-day/"], "tags": {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "analytic_story": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass - Rule", "ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}, {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "AgentTesla", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2022-04-12", "version": 1, "id": "9bb6077a-843e-418b-b134-c57ef997103c", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the AgentTesla malware including .chm application child process, ftp/smtp connection, persistence and many more.

"Detect and investigate activities--such as unusually long `Content-Type` length, suspicious java classes and web servers executing suspicious processes--consistent with attempts to exploit Apache Struts vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "In March of 2017, a remote code-execution vulnerability in the Jakarta Multipart parser in Apache Struts, a widely used open-source framework for creating Java web applications, was disclosed and assigned to CVE-2017-5638. About two months later, hackers exploited the flaw to carry out the world's <a href=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/09/07/nations-biggest-hacks-and-data-breaches-millions/644311001/> 5th largest data breach</a>. The target, credit giant Equifax, <a href=https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/16/technology/equifax-breach-security-hole/index.html>told investigators</a> that it had become aware of the vulnerability two months before the attack. \\\nThe exploit involved manipulating the `Content-Type HTTP` header to execute commands embedded in the header.\\\nThis Analytic Story contains two different searches that help to identify activity that may be related to this issue. The first search looks for characteristics of the `Content-Type` header consistent with attempts to exploit the vulnerability. This should be a relatively pertinent indicator, as the `Content-Type` header is generally consistent and does not have a large degree of variation.\\\nThe second search looks for the execution of various commands typically entered on the command shell when an attacker first lands on a system. These commands are not generally executed on web servers during the course of day-to-day operation, but they may be used when the system is undergoing maintenance or troubleshooting.\\\nFirst, it is helpful is to understand how often the notable event is generated, as well as the commonalities in some of these events. This may help determine whether this is a common occurrence that is of a lesser concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It can also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user or system or is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior illustrated by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to see what other events involving the target have occurred in the recent past. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and (potentially) collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. Information like this can be useful in generating your own threat intelligence to create alerts in the future.\\\nLooking at the country, responsible party, and fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address--as well as the registration information associated with those domain names, if they are frequently visited by others--can help you answer the question of \"who,\" in regard to the external system. Answering that can help qualify the event and may serve useful for tracking. In addition, there are various sources that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining if the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether or not there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect some dots or show other events that should be brought into scope.\\\nGathering various data elements on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine that something suspicious may be happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version to help determine whether or not it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nhen it is suspected there is an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIn the event that a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that have the file open, what processes created and/or modified the file, and the number of systems that may have this file can help to determine if the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes quickly help determine whether it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, there may be activity initiated via a compromised website the user visited.\\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process that is of interest. For example, if it turns out that the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might also be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, reviewing the network connections made around the time of the event and/or if the process spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/blob/v3.2/dev/rules/REQUEST-944-APPLICATION-ATTACK-JAVA.conf"], "tags": {"name": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Suspicious Java Classes - Rule", "ESCU - Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes - Rule", "ESCU - Unusually Long Content-Type Length - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Suspicious Strings in HTTP Header - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Web POSTs From src - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Suspicious Java Classes", "source": "application", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes", "source": "application", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}]}}, {"name": "Unusually Long Content-Type Length", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Asset Tracking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-13", "version": 1, "id": "91c676cf-0b23-438d-abee-f6335e1fce77", "description": "Keep a careful inventory of every asset on your network to make it easier to detect rogue devices.

They provide users with dynamically created temporary security credentials that expire within a set time period.\\\nHerein lies the rub.

Azure AD is the backbone of most of Azure services like Office 365. It can sync with on-premise Active Directory environments and provide authentication to other cloud-based systems via the OAuth protocol. According to Microsoft, Azure AD manages more than 1.2 billion identities and processes over 8 billion authentications per day. Account Takeover (ATO) is an attack whereby cybercriminals gain unauthorized access to online accounts by using different techniques like brute force, social engineering, phishing & spear phishing, credential stuffing, etc. By posing as the real user, cyber-criminals can change account details, send out phishing emails, steal financial information or sensitive data, or use any stolen information to access further accounts within the organization. This analytic storic groups detections that can help security operations teams identify the potential compromise of Azure Active Directory accounts.", "references":

The authoring agencies now judge these actors are an APT group affiliated with the IRGC. Since the initial reporting of this activity in the FBI Liaison Alert System (FLASH) report APT Actors Exploiting Fortinet Vulnerabilities to Gain Access for Malicious Activity from May 2021, the authoring agencies have continued to observe these IRGC-affiliated actors exploiting known vulnerabilities for initial access. In addition to exploiting Fortinet and Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities, the authoring agencies have observed these APT actors exploiting VMware Horizon Log4j vulnerabilities for initial access. The IRGC-affiliated actors have used this access for follow-on activity, including disk encryption and data extortion, to support ransom operations. The IRGC-affiliated actors are actively targeting a broad range of entities, including entities across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors as well as Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom organizations. These actors often operate under the auspices of Najee Technology Hooshmand Fater LLC, based in Karaj, Iran, and Afkar System Yazd Company, based in Yazd, Iran. The authoring agencies assess the actors are exploiting known vulnerabilities on unprotected networks rather than targeting specific targeted entities or sectors. This advisory provides observed tactics, techniques, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that the authoring agencies assess are likely associated with this IRGC-affiliated APT. The authoring agencies urge organizations, especially critical infrastructure organizations, to apply the recommendations listed in the Mitigations section of this advisory to mitigate risk of compromise from these IRGC-affiliated cyber actors.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa21-321a", "https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-257a",

unusual activities that might be related to the  SVR cyber activity tactics and techniques. While SVR followed a similar playbook in each compromise, they also adjusted to each operating environment and not all presented steps or actions below were executed on every host.", "narrative": "SVR cyber operations pose a persistent threat to public and private organizations' networks globally. Since 2013, cybersecurity companies and governments have reported on SVR operations targeting victim networks to steal confidential and proprietary information. A decade later, the authoring agencies can infer a long-term targeting pattern aimed at collecting, and enabling the collection of, foreign intelligence, a broad concept that for Russia encompasses information on the politics, economics, and military of foreign states; science and technology; and foreign counterintelligence. The SVR also conducts cyber operations targeting technology companies that enable future cyber operations. The SVR's recent operation has targeted networks hosting TeamCity servers, further underscoring its persistent focus on technology companies. By leveraging CVE-2023-42793, a vulnerability within a software development program, the SVR seeks to gain access to victims, potentially compromising numerous software developers' networks. JetBrains responded to this threat by issuing a patch in mid-September 2023, limting the SVR's ability to exploit Internet-accessible TeamCity servers lacking the necessary updates. Despite this mitigation, the SVR has yet to utilize its acquired access to software developers' networks for breaching customer systems. It appears that the SVR is still in the preparatory stages of its operation.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-347a"], "tags": {"name": "CISA AA23-347A",

active exploitation of a previously unknown vulnerability in the Web User Interface (Web UI) feature of Cisco IOS XE software (CVE-2023-20198) when exposed to the internet or untrusted networks. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to create an account on the affected device with privilege level 15 access, effectively granting them full control of the compromised device and allowing possible subsequent unauthorized activity.", "narrative": "Cisco discovered early evidence of potentially malicious activity on September 28, 2023, when a case was opened with Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC) that identified unusual behavior on a customer device. Upon further investigation, they observed what they have determined to be related activity as early as September 18. The activity included an authorized user creating a local user account under the username cisco_tac_admin from a suspicious IP address. On October 12, Cisco Talos Incident Response (Talos IR) and TAC detected what they later determined to be an additional cluster of related activity that began on that same day. In this cluster, an unauthorized user was observed creating a local user account under the name cisco_support from a second suspicious IP address. Unlike the September case, this October activity included several subsequent actions, including the deployment of an implant consisting of a configuration file (cisco_service.conf). The configuration file defines the new web server endpoint (URI path) used to interact with the implant. That endpoint receives certain parameters, described in more detail below, that allows the actor to execute arbitrary commands at the system level or IOS level. For the implant to become active, the web server must be restarted; in at least one observed case the server was not restarted so the implant never became active despite being installed.", "references": ["https://blog.talosintelligence.com/active-exploitation-of-cisco-ios-xe-software/"], "tags": {"name": "Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Cisco IOS XE Implant Access - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Cisco IOS XE Implant Access", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway CVE-2023-4966", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-10-24", "version": 1, "id": "b194d644-4095-431a-bee0-a8e6ec067414", "description": "A critical security update, CVE-2023-4966, has been released for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway.

The advisory offers a comprehensive examination of the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), alongside recommended detection methods and incident response guidelines. Immediate patch application from Citrix and the use of the detection guidance in the advisory is strongly recommended for critical infrastructure organizations to mitigate system compromises.", "narrative": "Recent advisories have highlighted the exploitation of CVE-2023-3519, a critical vulnerability in Citrix's NetScaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) and NetScaler Gateway. In June 2023, threat actors utilized this vulnerability to implant a webshell on a NetScaler ADC appliance within a critical infrastructure organization's non-production environment. This action granted them the ability to perform active directory discovery, data collection, and exfiltration. Notably, attempts for lateral movement to a domain controller were obstructed by network-segmentation controls. \\\nThe compromised organization reported the breach, leading Citrix to issue a patch on July 18, 2023. Multiple advisories have since outlined the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including their initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, discovery, collection, command and control, and impact. These advisories also provide detection methods and recommend incident response measures. \\\nThe threat actors executed several activities during their attack, such as uploading a TGZ file with a generic webshell, discovery script, and setuid binary on the ADC appliance; conducting SMB scanning on the subnet; using the webshell for active directory enumeration and data exfiltration; and accessing NetScaler configuration files and decryption keys. They also decrypted an active directory credential, queried the active directory for various information, encrypted collected data, exfiltrated it as an image file, and attempted to erase their artifacts. Despite these actions, further discovery and lateral movement were impeded due to the organization's network-segmentation controls. \\\nAdvisories suggest conducting specific checks on the ADC shell interface to detect signs of compromise. If a compromise is detected, organizations should isolate potentially affected hosts, reimage compromised hosts, provide new account credentials, collect and review artifacts, and report the compromise. To mitigate the threat, organizations are advised to promptly install the relevant updates for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, adhere to cybersecurity best practices, and apply robust network-segmentation controls on NetScaler appliances and other internet-facing devices. \\", "references": ["https://attackerkb.com/topics/si09VNJhHh/cve-2023-3519", "https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-07/aa23-201a_csa_threat_actors_exploiting_citrix-cve-2023-3519_to_implant_webshells.pdf", "https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX561482/citrix-adc-and-citrix-gateway-security-bulletin-for-cve20233519-cve20233466-cve20233467"], "tags": {"name": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "analytic_story": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519 - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519", "source": "web", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix ShareFile RCE CVE-2023-24489", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-07-26", "version": 1, "id": "10c7e01a-5743-4995-99df-a66f6b5db653", "description": "A critical vulnerability has been discovered in ShareFile's Storage Zones Controller software (CVE-2023-24489), used by numerous organizations for file sharing and storage. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated arbitrary file upload and remote code execution due to a cryptographic bug in the software's encryption but lack of authentication system. The risk comes from a failing encryption check, allowing potential cybercriminals to upload malicious files to the server. The bug was found in the Documentum Connector's .aspx files.

It was discovered that this software has a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-24489) in the file upload functionality provided by the Documentum Connector's .aspx files. Specifically, the security flaw lies in the encryption check in the file upload process which could be bypassed, allowing for unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads and remote code execution. \\\nThe application sets the current principal from a session cookie, but if this is missing, the application continues without authentication. The application uses AES encryption, with CBC mode and PKCS#7 padding. A decryption check is in place which returns an error if the decryption fails, but this can be bypassed by supplying a ciphertext that results in valid padding after decryption, thereby not causing an exception. \\\nThe Documentum Connector's upload.aspx file, when uploading a file, calls the ProcessRawPostedFile function, which allows a path traversal due to improper sanitization of the 'uploadId' parameter. It allows the 'filename' and 'uploadId' parameters to be concatenated, and while the 'filename' parameter is sanitized, the 'uploadId' is not. The 'parentid' parameter is passed in but is also not used. \\\nThe vulnerability enables an attacker to upload a webshell or any other malicious file, by providing a properly padded encrypted string for the 'parentid' parameter, and specifying the path for the 'uploadId' and the name for the 'filename'. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by requesting the uploaded file.

The attacks have moved from in-browser exploits and mobile phones to enterprise cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. It's difficult to determine exactly how widespread the practice has become, since bad actors continually evolve their ability to escape detection, including employing unlisted endpoints, moderating their CPU usage, and hiding the mining pool's IP address behind a free CDN. \\\nWhen malicious miners appropriate a cloud instance, often spinning up hundreds of new instances, the costs can become astronomical for the account holder.

and investigate unusual activities that relate to the ColdRoot Remote Access Trojan that affects MacOS. An example of some of these activities are changing sensative binaries in the MacOS sub-system, detecting process names and executables associated with the RAT, detecting when a keyboard tab is installed on a MacOS machine and more.", "narrative": "Conventional wisdom holds that Apple's MacOS operating system is significantly less vulnerable to attack than Windows machines. While that point is debatable, it is true that attacks against MacOS systems are much less common. However, this fact does not mean that Macs are impervious to breaches. To the contrary, research has shown that that Mac malware is increasing at an alarming rate. According to AV-test, in 2018, there were 86,865 new MacOS malware variants, up from 27,338 the year before&#151;a 31% increase. In contrast, the independent research firm found that new Windows malware had increased from 65.17M to 76.86M during that same period, less than half the rate of growth. The bottom line is that while the numbers look a lot smaller than Windows, it's definitely time to take Mac security more seriously.\\\nThis Analytic Story addresses the ColdRoot remote access trojan (RAT), which was uploaded to Github in 2016, but was still escaping detection by the first quarter of 2018, when a new, more feature-rich variant was discovered masquerading as an Apple audio driver. Among other capabilities, the Pascal-based ColdRoot can heist passwords from users' keychains and remotely control infected machines without detection. In the initial report of his findings, Patrick Wardle, Chief Research Officer for Digita Security, explained that the new ColdRoot RAT could start and kill processes on the breached system, spawn new remote-desktop sessions, take screen captures and assemble them into a live stream of the victim's desktop, and more.\\\nSearches in this Analytic Story leverage the capabilities of OSquery to address ColdRoot detection from several different angles, such as looking for the existence of associated files and processes, and monitoring for signs of an installed keylogger.", "references": ["https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/osxcoldroot-and-the-rat-invasion/", "https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x2A.html", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/coldroot-rat-still-undetectable-despite-being-uploaded-on-github-two-years-ago/"], "tags": {"name": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "analytic_story": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [], "mitre_attack_tactics": [], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": []}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection - Rule", "ESCU - MacOS - Re-opened Applications - Rule", "ESCU - Processes Tapping Keyboard Events - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Network Traffic From src ip - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Jose Hernandez", "detections": [{"name": "Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "MacOS - Re-opened Applications", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Processes Tapping Keyboard Events", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Collection and Staging", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-03", "version": 1, "id": "8e03c61e-13c4-4dcd-bfbe-5ce5a8dc031a", "description": "Monitor for and investigate activities--such as suspicious writes to the Windows Recycling Bin or email servers sending high amounts of traffic to specific hosts, for example--that may indicate that an adversary is harvesting and exfiltrating sensitive data.

The threat actors target a variety of sources to extract them, including the Security Accounts Manager (SAM), Local Security Authority (LSA), NTDS from Domain Controllers, or the Group Policy Preference (GPP) files.\\\nOnce attackers obtain valid credentials, they use them to move throughout a target network with ease, discovering new systems and identifying assets of interest. Credentials obtained in this manner typically include those of privileged users, which may provide access to more sensitive information and system operations.\\\nThe detection searches in this Analytic Story monitor access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process, the usage of shadowcopies for credential dumping and some other techniques for credential dumping.",

campaign distributing DarkGate malware. This campaign utilizes stolen email threads to trick users into downloading malicious payloads via hyperlinks. An initial false link to Emotet stirred the security community, but deeper analysis confirmed its true identity as DarkGate, with characteristics like AutoIt scripts and a known command-and-control protocol. This report by Fabian Marquardt details the intricate infection mechanisms, including MSI and VBS file deliveries, sophisticated evasion techniques, and a robust configuration extraction method surpassing current standards. The single developer behind DarkGate, active on cybercrime forums, has shifted the malware's use from private to a rent-out model, implying an expected rise in its deployment. Researchers have also developed a decryption technique for the DarkGate malware, which aids in static analysis and detection, though it requires careful validation to avoid false positives.", "narrative": "Telekom Security CTi has recently put a spotlight on the proliferation of DarkGate malware via a sophisticated malspam campaign, initially mistaken for the notorious Emotet malware. The campaign smartly manipulates stolen email conversations, embedding hyperlinks that, once clicked, activate a malware download. Fabian Marquardt's analysis traces the infection's footprint, revealing a dual delivery mechanism through MSI and VBS files. These files, cloaked in legitimate wrappers or obscured with junk code, ultimately download the malware via embedded scripts. \\\nMarquardt delves into the AutoIt script-based infection, uncovering the calculated use of compiled scripts and base64-encoded data to disguise the execution of malicious shellcode. The subsequent stages of infection exhibit the malware's capability to evade detection, leveraging memory allocation techniques to bypass security measures. Marquardt also explores the loader's function, which decrypts further malicious payloads by interacting with the script's encoded components. \\\nThe analytical narrative captures a cross-section of the cybersecurity landscape, reflecting the shift in DarkGate's operational strategy from exclusive use by the developer to a broader dissemination through a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model. This transition suggests an anticipated escalation in DarkGate-related attacks. \\\nSignificantly, the report contributes to cybersecurity defenses by outlining a more effective method for extracting malware configurations, providing the community with the means to anticipate and mitigate the evolving threats posed by this pernicious malware. With the insights gained, researchers and security professionals are better equipped to adapt their strategies, constructing more robust defenses against the sophisticated tactics employed by DarkGate and similar malware strains.", "references": ["https://github.security.telekom.com/2023/08/darkgate-loader.html", "https://redcanary.com/blog/intelligence-insights-october-2023"], "tags": {"name":

Exfiltration comes in many flavors and its done differently on every environment. Adversaries can collect data over encrypted or non-encrypted channels.  They can utilise Command And Control channels that are already in place to exfiltrate data.  They can use both standard data transfer protocols such as FTP, SCP, etc to exfiltrate data.  Or they can use non-standard protocols such as DNS, ICMP, etc with specially crafted fields to try and circumvent security technologies in place.\\\nTechniques for getting data out of a target network typically include transferring it over their command and control channel or an alternate channel and may also include putting size limits on the transmission. In context of the cloud, this refers to the unauthorized transfer or extraction of sensitive data from cloud-based systems or services. It involves the compromise of cloud infrastructure or accounts to gain access to valuable information stored in the cloud environment.

Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation. Indications of lateral movement can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, pass-the-hash, or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor. An adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders. If there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented.

The agency includes phishing scams, data breaches, Denial of Service (DOS) attacks, email account compromise, malware, spoofing, and ransomware in this category.\\\nThese crimes are not the fraud itself, but rather the attack techniques commonly employed by fraudsters in their pursuit of data that enables them to commit malicious actssuch as obtaining and using stolen credit cards. They represent a serious problem that is steadily increasing and not likely to go away anytime soon.\\\nWhen developing a strategy for preventing fraud in your environment, its important to  look across all of your web services for evidence that attackers are abusing enterprise resources to enumerate systems, harvest data for secondary fraudulent activity, or abuse terms of service.This Analytic Story looks for evidence of common Internet attack techniques that could be indicative of web fraud in your environmentincluding account harvesting, anomalous user clickspeed, and password sharing across accounts, to name just a few.\\\nThe account-harvesting search focuses on web pages used for user-account registration. It detects the creation of a large number of user accounts using the same email domain name, a type of activity frequently seen in advance of a fraud campaign.\\\nThe anomalous clickspeed search looks for users who are moving through your website at a faster-than-normal speed or with a perfect click cadence (high periodicity or low standard deviation), which could indicate that the user is a script, not an actual human.\\\nAnother search detects incidents wherein a single password is used across multiple accounts, which may indicate that a fraudster has infiltrated your environment and embedded a common password within a script.", "references": ["https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-fraud-schemes/internet-fraud", "https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2017-internet-crime-report-released-050718"], "tags": {"name": "Web Fraud Detection", "analytic_story": "Web Fraud Detection", "category": ["Abuse"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Fraud Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1136", "mitre_attack_technique": "Create Account", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Indrik Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1078", "mitre_attack_technique": "Valid Accounts", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Initial Access", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT33", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "Carbanak", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN4", "FIN5", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Ke3chang", "LAPSUS$", "Lazarus Group", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "POLONIUM", "PittyTiger", "Sandworm Team", "Silence", "Silent Librarian", "Suckfly", "TEMP.Veles", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Initial Access", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Web Fraud - Account Harvesting - Rule", "ESCU - Web Fraud - Anomalous User Clickspeed - Rule", "ESCU - Web Fraud - Password Sharing Across Accounts - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Emails From Specific Sender - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Web Session Information via session id - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Jim Apger", "detections": [{"name": "Web Fraud - Account Harvesting", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Create Account"}]}}, {"name": "Web Fraud - Anomalous User Clickspeed", "source": "deprecated", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Valid Accounts"}]}}, {"name": "Web Fraud - Password Sharing Across Accounts", "source": "deprecated", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Detect Zerologon Attack", "author": "Rod Soto, Jose Hernandez, Stan Miskowicz, David Dorsey, Shannon Davis Splunk", "date": "2020-09-18", "version": 1, "id": "5d14a962-569e-4578-939f-f386feb63ce4", "description": "Uncover activity related to the execution of Zerologon CVE-2020-11472, a technique wherein attackers target a Microsoft Windows Domain Controller to reset its computer account password.

Some of the activities that adversaries used in these compromises included spearfishing attacks, malware, watering-hole domains, many and more.", "narrative": "The frequency of nation-state cyber attacks has increased significantly over the last decade. Employing numerous tactics and techniques, these attacks continue to escalate in complexity. \\\nThere is a wide range of motivations for these state-sponsored hacks, including stealing valuable corporate, military, or diplomatic data&#1151;all of which could confer advantages in various arenas. They may also target critical infrastructure. \\\nOne joint Technical Alert (TA) issued by the Department of Homeland and the FBI in mid-March of 2018 attributed some cyber activity targeting utility infrastructure to operatives sponsored by the Russian government. The hackers executed spearfishing attacks, installed malware, employed watering-hole domains, and more. While they caused no physical damage, the attacks provoked fears that a nation-state could turn off water, redirect power, or compromise a nuclear power plant.\\\nSuspicious activities--spikes in SMB traffic, processes that launch netsh (to modify the network configuration), suspicious registry modifications, and many more--may all be events you may wish to investigate further. While the use of these technique may be an indication that a nation-state actor is attempting to compromise your environment, it is important to note that these techniques are often employed by other

It has been proven to work very well for its intended function. However if DNS is misconfigured, servers can be abused by attackers to levy amplification or redirection attacks against victims. Because DNS responses to `ANY` queries are so much larger than the queries themselves--and can be made with a UDP packet, which does not require a handshake--attackers can spoof the source address of the packet and cause much more data to be sent to the victim than if they sent the traffic themselves. The `ANY` requests are will be larger than normal DNS server requests, due to the fact that the server provides significant details, such as MX records and associated IP addresses. A large volume of this traffic can result in a DOS on the victim's machine. This misconfiguration leads to two possible victims, the first being the DNS servers participating in an attack and the other being the hosts that are the targets of the DOS attack.\\\nThe search in this story can help you to detect if attackers are abusing your company's DNS infrastructure to launch DNS amplification attacks causing Denial of Service to other victims.", "references": ["https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-088A", "https://www.imperva.com/learn/application-security/dns-amplification/"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "analytic_story": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "category": ["Abuse"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1498", "mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1498.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification"}]}}]}, {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-04", "version": 1, "id": "8169f17b-ef68-4b59-aa28-586907301221", "description": "Secure your environment against DNS hijacks with searches that help you detect and investigate unauthorized changes to DNS records.", "narrative": "Dubbed the Achilles heel of the Internet (see https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/dns-is-still-the-achilles-heel-of-the-internet-25613), DNS plays a critical role in routing web traffic but is notoriously vulnerable to attack. One reason is its distributed nature. It relies on unstructured connections between millions of clients and servers over inherently insecure protocols.\\\nThe gravity and extent of the importance of securing DNS from attacks is undeniable. The fallout of compromised DNS can be disastrous. Not only can hackers bring down an entire business, they can intercept confidential information, emails, and login credentials, as well. \\\nOn January 22, 2019, the US Department of Homeland Security 2019's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) raised awareness of some high-profile DNS hijacking attacks against infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. It issued Emergency Directive 19-01 (see https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/19-01/), which summarized the activity and required government agencies to take the following four actions, all within 10 days: \\\n1. For all .gov or other agency-managed domains, audit public DNS records on all authoritative and secondary DNS servers, verify that they resolve to the intended location or report them to CISA.\\\n1. Update the passwords for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency 2019's DNS records.\\\n1. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency's 2019 DNS records or, if impossible, provide CISA with the names of systems, the reasons why MFA cannot be enabled within the required timeline, and an ETA for when it can be enabled.\\\n1. CISA will begin regular delivery of newly added certificates to Certificate Transparency (CT) logs for agency domains via the Cyber Hygiene service. Upon receipt, agencies must immediately begin monitoring CT log data for certificates issued that they did not request. If an agency confirms that a certificate was unauthorized, it must report the certificate to the issuing certificate authority and to CISA. Of course, it makes sense to put equivalent actions in place within your environment, as well. \\\nIn DNS hijacking, the attacker assumes control over an account or makes use of a DNS service exploit to make changes to DNS records. Once they gain access, attackers can substitute their own MX records, name-server records, and addresses, redirecting emails and traffic through their infrastructure, where they can read, copy, or modify information seen. They can also generate valid encryption certificates to help them avoid browser-certificate checks. In one notable attack on the Internet service provider, GoDaddy, the hackers altered Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records a relatively minor change that did not inflict excessive damage but allowed for more effective spam campaigns.\\\nThe searches in this Analytic Story help you detect and investigate activities that may indicate that DNS hijacking has taken place within your environment.", "references": ["https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/09/apt33-insights-into-iranian-cyber-espionage.html", "https://umbrella.cisco.com/blog/2013/04/15/on-the-trail-of-malicious-dynamic-dns-domains/", "http://www.noip.com/blog/2014/07/11/dynamic-dns-can-use-2/", "https://www.splunk.com/blog/2015/08/04/detecting-dynamic-dns-domains-in-splunk.html"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "analytic_story": "DNS Hijacking", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1048.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exfiltration Over Unencrypted Non-C2 Protocol", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Exfiltration"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT33", "FIN6", "FIN8", "Lazarus Group", "OilRig", "Thrip", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1071.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "DNS", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT39", "APT41", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "FIN7", "Ke3chang", "LazyScripter", "OilRig", "Tropic Trooper"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1568.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Domain Generation Algorithms", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "TA551"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1189", "mitre_attack_technique": "Drive-by Compromise", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Andariel", "Axiom", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Elderwood", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Leviathan", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "PLATINUM", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "RTM", "Threat Group-3390", "Transparent Tribe", "Turla", "Windigo", "Windshift"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control", "Exfiltration", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives", "Command And Control", "Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Apache's AJP protocol vulnerability, designated CVE-2022-26377, relates to AJP request smuggling. Successful exploitation enables unauthorized system activities. F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition exhibited a distinct vulnerability, an authentication bypass in the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), resulting in system compromise. Assigned CVE-2023-46747, this vulnerability also arose from request smuggling, bearing similarity to CVE-2022-26377. Given the wide adoption of both Apache Tomcat and F5 products, these vulnerabilities present grave risks to organizations. Remediation and vulnerability detection mechanisms are essential to address these threats effectively.", "narrative": "Both Apache Tomcat's AJP protocol and F5's BIG-IP Virtual Edition have been exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Apache's CVE-2022-26377 pertains to request smuggling by manipulating the \"Transfer-Encoding\" header. If successfully exploited, this allows attackers to bypass security controls and undertake unauthorized actions. \\\nSimilarly, F5 BIG-IP unveiled an authentication bypass vulnerability, CVE-2023-46747. Originating from the TMUI, this vulnerability leads to full system compromise. While distinct, it shares characteristics with Apache's vulnerability, primarily rooted in request smuggling. This vulnerability drew from past F5 CVEs, particularly CVE-2020-5902 and CVE-2022-1388, both previously exploited in real-world scenarios. These highlighted vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP and Apache Tomcat services, as well as authentication flaws in the F5 BIG-IP API.\\\nNuclei detection templates offer a proactive solution for identifying and mitigating these vulnerabilities. Integrated into vulnerability management frameworks, these templates notify organizations of potential risks, forming a base for further detection strategies. For detection engineers, understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial. Recognizing the mechanisms and effects of request smuggling, especially in Apache's and F5's context, provides a roadmap to effective detection and response.

China, targeting Taiwanese organizations for espionage. The group maintains long-term access to networks with minimal use of malware, relying on built-in OS tools and benign software. The group's activities are primarily focused on Taiwan, but the techniques used could be easily reused in other operations outside the region. Microsoft has not observed Flax Typhoon using this access to conduct additional actions.", "narrative": "Flax Typhoon has been active since mid-2021, targeting government agencies, education, critical manufacturing, and IT organizations in Taiwan. The group uses the China Chopper web shell, Metasploit, Juicy Potato privilege escalation tool, Mimikatz, and SoftEther VPN client. However, they primarily rely on living-off-the-land techniques and hands-on-keyboard activity. Initial access is achieved by exploiting known vulnerabilities in public-facing servers and deploying web shells. Following initial access, Flax Typhoon uses command-line tools to establish persistent access over the remote desktop protocol, deploy a VPN connection to actor-controlled network infrastructure, and collect credentials from compromised systems. The group also uses this VPN access to scan for vulnerabilities on targeted systems and organizations from the compromised systems.", "references":

Simultaneously, Zscaler's \"Steal-It\" campaign pinpointed similar tactics, specifically targeting NTLMv2 hashes. This campaign used ZIP archives containing LNK files to exfiltrate data via Mockbin.

patches for its mail server, Microsoft Exchange. These patches respond to a group of vulnerabilities known to impact Exchange 2013, 2016, and 2019. It is important to note that an Exchange 2010 security update has also been issued, though the CVEs do not reference that version as being vulnerable.\\\nWhile the CVEs do not shed much light on the specifics of the vulnerabilities or exploits, the first vulnerability (CVE-2021-26855) has a remote network attack vector that allows the attacker, a group Microsoft named HAFNIUM, to authenticate as the Exchange server. Three additional vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, and CVE-2021-27065) were also identified as part of this activity. When chained together along with CVE-2021-26855 for initial access, the attacker would have complete control over the Exchange server. This includes the ability to run code as SYSTEM and write to any path on the server.\\\nThe following Splunk detections assist with identifying the HAFNIUM groups tradecraft and methodology.",

hidden shares and file writes, that may be evidence of infiltration by North Korean government-sponsored cybercriminals. Details of this activity were reported in DHS Report TA-18-149A.", "narrative": "North Korea's government-sponsored \"cyber army\" has been slowly building momentum and gaining sophistication over the last 15 years or so. As a result, the group's activity, which the US government refers to as \"Hidden Cobra,\" has surreptitiously crept onto the collective radar as a preeminent global threat.\\\nThese state-sponsored actors are thought to be responsible for everything from a hack on a South Korean nuclear plant to an attack on Sony in anticipation of its release of the movie \"The Interview\" at the end of 2014. They're also notorious for cyberespionage. In recent years, the group seems to be focused on financial crimes, such as cryptojacking.\\\nIn June of 2018, The Department of Homeland Security, together with the FBI and other U.S. government partners, issued Technical Alert (TA-18-149A) to advise the public about two variants of North Korean malware. One variant, dubbed \"Joanap,\" is a multi-stage peer-to-peer botnet that allows North Korean state actors to exfiltrate data, download and execute secondary payloads, and initialize proxy communications. The other variant, \"Brambul,\" is a Windows32 SMB worm that is dropped into a victim network. When executed, the malware attempts to spread laterally within a victim's local subnet, connecting via the SMB protocol and initiating brute-force password attacks. It reports details to the Hidden Cobra actors via email, so they can use the information for secondary remote operations.\\\nAmong other searches in this Analytic Story is a detection search that looks for the creation or deletion of hidden shares, such as, \"adnim$,\" which the Hidden Cobra malware creates on the target system. Another looks for the creation of three malicious files associated with the malware. You can also use a search in this story to investigate activity that indicates that malware is sending email back to the attackers.", "references":

For example, Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extensions and filters can be installed to examine and/or modify incoming and outgoing IIS web requests. Extensions and filters are deployed as DLL files that export three functions - Get{Extension/Filter}Version, Http{Extension/Filter}Proc, and (optionally) Terminate{Extension/Filter}. IIS modules may also be installed to extend IIS web servers.\\\nAdversaries may install malicious ISAPI extensions and filters to observe and/or modify traffic, execute commands on compromised machines, or proxy command and control traffic. ISAPI extensions and filters may have access to all IIS web requests and responses. For example, an adversary may abuse these mechanisms to modify HTTP responses in order to distribute malicious commands/content to previously comprised hosts.\\\nAdversaries may also install malicious IIS modules to observe and/or modify traffic. IIS 7.0 introduced modules that provide the same unrestricted access to HTTP requests and responses as ISAPI extensions and filters. IIS modules can be written as a DLL that exports RegisterModule, or as a .NET application that interfaces with ASP.NET APIs to access IIS HTTP requests.

A recent update concerning CVE-2023-35082, closely related to CVE-2023-35078, reveals its impact on more versions of Ivanti's software than initially believed. The former allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive data, modify servers, and access the API, potentially leading to data breaches or malicious system modifications. Meanwhile, CVE-2023-35081 lets authenticated administrators remotely write arbitrary files to the server. Both vulnerabilities have been exploited in targeted attacks against government ministries and could be used in conjunction. With the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of broader exploitation has increased. While initially leveraged in limited attacks, the exploitation is expected to rise, possibly involving state-sponsored actors. Organizations are urged to apply immediate patches and conduct regular system assessments to ensure security.", "narrative": "Ivantis Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) product, formerly known as MobileIron Core and extensively utilized by IT teams to manage mobile devices, applications, and content, has been found to harbor several critical vulnerabilities. Specifically, CVE-2023-35078 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive data and make changes to servers. This flaw has been leveraged in targeted attacks against Norwegian government ministries. In addition, CVE-2023-35081 permits an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to remotely write arbitrary files to the server. \\\nRecently, attention has shifted to CVE-2023-35082, which was initially believed to affect only MobileIron Core 11.2 and below. Subsequent investigations revealed its wider influence, affecting EPMM versions 11.10, 11.9, 11.8, and MobileIron Core 11.7 and earlier. This vulnerability facilitates unauthorized access to the API via the URI path /mifs/asfV3/api/v2/. \\\nWhen combined, these vulnerabilities can be exploited to bypass administrative authentication and access control list (ACL) restrictions, leading to malicious file writing and potential OS command execution. Both have been actively exploited, possibly by state-sponsored actors, prompting urgent advisories from Ivanti and Rapid7, alongside CISA. Given the thousands of potentially vulnerable internet-exposed systems and the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of extensive exploitation escalates. The situation is further muddled by Ivanti's 2020 acquisition of MobileIron, which had its known issues. Collectively, these vulnerabilities present a significant risk to organizations utilizing Ivanti's EPMM, emphasizing the need for swift patching, vigilant monitoring, and timely application of fixes to counteract potential threats.", "references": ["https://www.securityweek.com/second-ivanti-epmm-zero-day-vulnerability-exploited-in-targeted-attacks/", "https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/07/28/ivanti-releases-security-updates-epmm-address-cve-2023-35081", "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-35078", "https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/CVE-2023-35078-Remote-unauthenticated-API-access-vulnerability?language=en_US"], "tags": {"name": "Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated Access", "analytic_story": "Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated Access", "category": ["Vulnerability", "Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated API Access CVE-2023-35078 - Rule", "ESCU - Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated API Access CVE-2023-35082 - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated API Access CVE-2023-35078", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}]}}, {"name": "Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated API Access CVE-2023-35082", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}]}}]}, {"name": "Ivanti Sentry Authentication Bypass CVE-2023-38035", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-08-24", "version": 1, "id": "da229be2-4637-47a5-b551-1d4b64f411c6", "description": "A critical vulnerability, designated as CVE-2023-38035, has been identified in Ivanti Sentry (formerly MobileIron Sentry).

However, the risk is low for users who haven't exposed port 8443 online. This flaw is distinct from other Ivanti products. It's imperative for organizations to check for unrecognized HTTP requests to /services/* as a potential indicator of compromise.", "narrative": "CVE-2023-38035 presents a significant security risk in the Ivanti Sentry administration interface. The vulnerability was identified shortly after another notable vulnerability in Ivanti EPMM (CVE-2023-35078) was discovered being exploited in the wild. The current vulnerability allows a malicious actor, without requiring authentication, to access the System Manager Portal, typically hosted on port 8443. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker can make configuration alterations to both the Sentry system and its underlying OS. The potential damage is significant, enabling the attacker to execute commands on the system with root privileges. \\\nWhile this vulnerability scored high on the CVSS scale, its risk is relatively mitigated for clients who have not exposed port 8443 to the internet. The primary exploitation vector is the System Manager Portal, an administrative interface for Sentry. \\\nAs of now, definitive indicators of compromise (IoCs) are elusive. However, any unexpected HTTP requests to the endpoint /services/* could be a red flag. It's worth noting that the exploited endpoint might not be the sole vulnerable point, suggesting other potential gateways for attackers. Ivanti Sentry's system doesn't provide a typical Unix shell, but in the event of a known system breach, the /var/log/tomcat2/ directory contains access logs that may reveal accessed endpoints.

These searches help detect evidence of these attacks, such as network connections to external resources or web services spawning atypical child processes, among others.", "narrative": "This Analytic Story looks for probing and exploitation attempts targeting JBoss application servers. While the vulnerabilities associated with this story are rather dated, they were leveraged in a spring 2016 campaign in connection with the Samsam ransomware variant. Incidents involving this ransomware are unique, in that they begin with attacks against vulnerable services, rather than the phishing or drive-by attacks more common with ransomware. In this case, vulnerable JBoss applications appear to be the target of choice.\\\nIt is helpful to understand how often a notable event generated by this story occurs, as well as the commonalities between some of these events, both of which may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It may also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or whether it is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior uncovered by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to identify other recent events involving the target. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target host.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and, potentially, collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. This data may be useful for generating your own threat intelligence, so you can create future alerts.\\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin\\\n1. Responsible party\\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address\\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address Determining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you qualify and understand the event and possible motivation for the attack. In addition, there are various sources that may provide reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist you in determining whether the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or expose other historic events that might be brought back into scope.\\\nGathering various data on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have logged into the system recently, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and/or whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version, to help determine whether it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nIf you suspect an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIf a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that opened the file, the processes that may have created and/or modified the file, and how many other systems potentially have this file can you determine whether the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes help you quickly determine if it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if svchost.exe is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. \\\nIt can also be helpful to examine various behaviors of and the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see whether the parent process spawned other processes that might also warrant further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made around the time of the event and noting whether the process has spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["http://www.deependresearch.org/2016/04/jboss-exploits-view-from-victim.html"], "tags": {"name": "JBoss Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "JBoss Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery", "Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers - Rule", "ESCU - Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}]}}, {"name": "Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Jenkins Server Vulnerabilities", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2024-01-29", "version": 1, "id": "789e76e6-4b5e-4af3-ab8c-46578d84ccff", "description": "This analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.", "narrative": "The following analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.

"David Dorsey, Splunk", "date": "2017-08-23", "version": 5, "id": "2c8ff66e-0b57-42af-8ad7-912438a403fc", "description": "Attackers are finding stealthy ways \"live off the land,\" leveraging utilities and tools that come standard on the endpoint--such as PowerShell--to achieve their goals without downloading binary files. These searches can help you detect and investigate PowerShell command-line options that may be indicative of malicious intent.", "narrative": "The searches in this Analytic Story monitor for parameters often used for malicious purposes. It is helpful to understand how often the notable events generated by this story occur, as well as the commonalities between some of these events. These factors may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. Likewise, it is important to determine whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or is broader in scope. \\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin \\\n1. Responsible party \\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address \\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address \\\nDetermining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you answer some questions surrounding the attacker and details related to the external system. In addition, there are various sources--such as VirusTotal&#151; that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining whether the event is malicious. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or show other events that should be brought into scope. \\\nGathering data on the system of interest can sometimes help you quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include finding out who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted. \\\nOften, a simple inspection of the process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when cursorily reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, that could be indicative of activity initiated via a compromised website a user visited. \\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made in and around the time of the event and/or whether the process spawned any child processes could be helpful, as well. \\\nIn the event a system is suspected of having been compromised via a malicious website, we suggest reviewing the browsing activity from that system around the time of the event. If categories are given for the URLs visited, that can help you zero in on possible malicious sites. \\\nMost recently we have added new content related to PowerShell Script Block logging, Windows EventCode 4104. Script block logging presents the deobfuscated and raw script executed on an endpoint. The analytics produced were tested against commonly used attack frameworks - PowerShell-Empire, Cobalt Strike and Covenant. In addition, we sampled publicly available samples that utilize PowerShell and validated coverage. The analytics are here to identify suspicious usage, cmdlets, or script values. 4104 events are enabled via the Windows registry and may generate a large volume of data if enabled globally. Enabling on critical systems or a limited set may be best. During triage of 4104 events, review parallel processes for other processes and command executed. Identify any file modifications and network communication and review accordingly. Fortunately, we get the full script to determine the level of threat identified.", "references": ["https://blogs.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/malware-employs-powershell-to-infect-systems/",

An alternative case occurs when a legitimate utility is copied or moved to a different directory and renamed to avoid detections based on system utilities executing from non-standard paths.\\\nThe following content is here to assist with binaries within `system32` or `syswow64` being moved to a new location or an adversary bringing a the binary in to execute.\\\nThere will be false positives as some native Windows processes are moved or ran by third party applications from different paths. If file names are mismatched between the file name on disk and that of the binarys PE metadata, this is a likely indicator that a binary was renamed after it was compiled. Collecting and comparing disk and resource filenames for binaries by looking to see if the InternalName, OriginalFilename, and or ProductName match what is expected could provide useful leads, but may not always be indicative of malicious activity. Do not focus on the possible names a file could have, but instead on the command-line arguments that are known to be used and are distinct because it will have a better rate of detection.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1036/003/"], "tags": {"name": "Masquerading -

Because it is an open-source framework, it can be easily customized and used with most operating systems.\\\nThe Metasploit Project was undertaken in 2003 by H.D. Moore for use as a Perl-based portable network tool, with assistance from core developer Matt Miller. It was fully converted to Ruby by 2007, and the license was acquired by Rapid7 in 2009, where it remains as part of the Boston-based company repertoire of IDS signature development and targeted remote exploit, fuzzing, anti-forensic, and evasion tools.\\\nPortions of these other tools reside within the Metasploit framework, which is built into the Kali Linux OS. Rapid7 has also developed two proprietary OpenCore tools, Metasploit Pro, Metasploit Express.\\\nThis framework has become the go-to exploit development and mitigation tool. Prior to Metasploit, pen testers had to perform all probes manually by using a variety of tools that may or may not have supported the platform they were testing, writing their own code by hand, and introducing it onto networks manually. Remote testing was virtually unheard of, and that limited a security specialist reach to the local area and companies spending a fortune on in-house IT or security consultants. (ref.

It also leverages encrypted communication channels.\\\nMeterpreter enables the operator to remotely run commands on the target machine, upload payloads, download files, dump password hashes, and much more.

CVE-2021-40444 received a CVSS score of 8.8 out of 10. MSHTML is the beating heart of Internet Explorer, the vulnerability also exists in that browser. Although given its limited use, there is little risk of infection by that vector. Microsoft Office applications use the MSHTML component to display web content in Office documents. The attack depends on MSHTML loading a specially crafted ActiveX control when the target opens a malicious Office document. The loaded ActiveX control can then run arbitrary code to infect the system with more malware. At the moment all supported Windows versions are vulnerable. Since there is no patch available yet, Microsoft proposes a few methods to block these attacks. \\\n1. Disable the installation of all ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer via the registry. Previously-installed ActiveX controls will still run, but no new ones will be added, including malicious ones. Open documents from the Internet in Protected View or Application Guard for Office, both of which prevent the current attack.

A patch is currently released.", "narrative": "Hackers have been actively exploiting a zero-day vulnerability found in the MOVEit Transfer software. This software, developed by Progress Software Corporation, a US-based company and its subsidiary Ipswitch, is a managed file transfer solution. It is used by thousands of organizations worldwide, including Chase, Disney, GEICO, and MLB, and by 3.5 million developers. The software allows for secure file transfers between business partners and customers using SFTP, SCP, and HTTP-based uploads.\\\nThe zero-day vulnerability has been exploited to steal data on a large scale from various organizations. The identity of the threat actors and the exact timeline of the exploitation remains unclear. However, it has been confirmed that multiple organizations have experienced breaches and data theft.\\\nIn response to this critical situation, Progress released a security advisory warning customers of the vulnerability and providing mitigation strategies while a patch has been released. They urged customers to take immediate action to protect their MOVEit environments. They suggested blocking external traffic to ports 80 and 445 on the MOVEit server and checking the c:\\MOVEitTransfer\\wwwroot\\ folder for unexpected files, including backups or large file downloads.\\\nBlocking these ports will prevent external access to the web UI, prevent some MOVEit Automation tasks from working, block APIs, and prevent the Outlook MOVEit plugin from working. However, SFTP and FTP/s protocols can continue to be used for file transfers.\\\nThere is currently no detailed information about the zero-day vulnerability. But based on the ports blocked and the specific location to check for unusual files, the flaw is likely a web-facing vulnerability.\\\nWhile Progress has officially confirmed that the vulnerability is being actively exploited, it is clear from several reports that multiple organizations have already had data stolen using this zero-day vulnerability. The exploitation appears very similar to the mass exploitation of a GoAnywhere MFT zero-day in January 2023 and the December 2020 zero-day exploitation of Accellion FTA servers.

This only affects OpenSSL 3.0.0 - 3.0.6.", "narrative": "A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint checking. Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed a malicious certificate or for an application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address in a certificate to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the . character (decimal 46) on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service). In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests client authentication and a malicious client connects. Users of OpenSSL 3.0.0 - 3.0.6 are encouraged to upgrade to 3.0.7 as soon as possible. If you obtain your copy of OpenSSL from your Operating System vendor or other third party then you should seek to obtain an updated version from them as soon as possible. SSL Certificates with Punycode will identify SSL certificates with Punycode. Note that it does not mean it will capture malicious payloads.

Before writing the payload to disk, it inserts a randomly generated string into the middle of the decrypted payload in an attempt to evade hash-based detections.\\\nAwareness of the Orangeworm group first surfaced in January, 2015. It has conducted targeted attacks against related industries, as well, such as pharmaceuticals and healthcare IT solution providers.\\\nHealthcare may be a promising target, because it is notoriously behind in technology, often using older operating systems and neglecting to patch computers.

have recently discovered a Windows executable file that, upon execution, spoofs a decryption tool and then drops a file that appears to be the custom-built javascript backdoor, \"Orz,\" which is associated with the threat actors known as MUDCARP (as well as \"temp.Periscope\" and \"Leviathan\"). The file is executed using Wscript.\\\nThe MUDCARP techniques include the use of the compressed-folders module from Microsoft, zipfldr.dll, with RouteTheCall export to run the malicious process or command. After a successful reboot, the malware is made persistent by a manipulating `[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run]'help'='c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\rundll32.exe c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall c:\\\\programdata\\\\winapp.exe'`. Though this technique is not exclusive to MUDCARP, it has been spotted in the group's arsenal of advanced techniques seen in the wild.\\\nThis Analytic Story searches for evidence of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that allow for the use of a endpoint detection-and-response (EDR) bypass technique to mask the true parent of a malicious process. It can also be set as a registry key for further sandbox evasion and to allow the malware to launch only after reboot.\\\nIf behavioral searches included in this story yield positive hits, iDefense recommends conducting IOC searches for the following:\\\n\\\n1. www.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. about.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autoconfig.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autodiscover.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. catalog.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. cpanel.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. db.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. ftp.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. mail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. news.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. update.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. webmail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. www.candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. newapp.freshasianews[.]comIn addition, iDefense also recommends that organizations review their environments for activity related to the following hashes:\\\n\\\n1. cd195ee448a3657b5c2c2d13e9c7a2e2\\\n1. b43ad826fe6928245d3c02b648296b43\\\n1. 889a9b52566448231f112a5ce9b5dfaf\\\n1. b8ec65dab97cdef3cd256cc4753f0c54\\\n1. 04d83cd3813698de28cfbba326d7647c", "references": ["https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/scope-of-mudcarp-attacks-highlight-1/", "http://blog.amossys.fr/badflick-is-not-so-bad.html"], "tags": {"name": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "analytic_story": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "PowerShell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "CopyKittens", "DarkHydrus", "DarkVishnya", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Gallmaker", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Indrik Spider", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MoustachedBouncer", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Poseidon Group", "Sandworm Team", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TA459", "TA505", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Thrip", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "WIRTE", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Windows Command Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT1", "APT18", "APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "Higaisa", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Silence", "Sowbug", "Suckfly", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-1314", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059", "mitre_attack_technique": "Command and Scripting Interpreter", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT32", "APT37", "APT39", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "Ke3chang", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Whitefly", "Windigo"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547", "mitre_attack_technique": "Boot or Logon Autostart Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

hostage until the victim pays the attacker a ransom. There are many types and varieties of ransomware that can affect an enterprise. Attackers can deploy ransomware to enterprises through spearphishing campaigns and driveby downloads, as well as through traditional remote service-based exploitation. In the case of the WannaCry campaign, there was self-propagating wormable functionality that was used to maximize infection. Fortunately, organizations can apply several techniques--such as those in this Analytic Story--to detect and or mitigate the effects of ransomware.", "references":

Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare and Public Health Sector. This alert details TTPs associated with ongoing and possible imminent attacks against the Healthcare sector, and is a joint advisory in coordination with other U.S. Government agencies. The objective of these malicious campaigns is to infiltrate targets in named sectors and to drop ransomware payloads, which will likely cause disruption of service and increase risk of actual harm to the health and safety of patients at hospitals, even with the aggravant of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This document specifically refers to several crimeware exploitation frameworks, emphasizing the use of Ryuk ransomware as payload. The Ryuk ransomware payload is not new. It has been well documented and identified in multiple variants. Payloads need a carrier, and for Ryuk it has often been exploitation frameworks such as Cobalt Strike, or popular crimeware frameworks such as Emotet or Trickbot.", "references":

The malicious software has affected and continues to affect thousands of victims and has raised almost $6M in ransom.\\\nAlthough categorized under the heading of ransomware, SamSam campaigns have some importance distinguishing characteristics. Most notable is the fact that conventional ransomware is a numbers game. Perpetrators use a \"spray-and-pray\" approach with phishing campaigns or other mechanisms, charging a small ransom (typically under $1,000). The goal is to find a large number of victims willing to pay these mini-ransoms, adding up to a lucrative payday. They use relatively simple methods for infecting systems.\\\nSamSam attacks are different beasts. They have become progressively more targeted and skillful than typical ransomware attacks. First, malicious actors break into a victim's network, surveil it, then run the malware manually. The attacks are tailored to cause maximum damage and the threat actors usually demand amounts in the tens of thousands of dollars.\\\nIn a typical attack on one large healthcare organization in 2018, the company ended up paying a ransom of four Bitcoins, then worth $56,707. Reports showed that access to the company's files was restored within two hours of paying the sum.\\\nAccording to Sophos, SamSam previously leveraged  RDP to gain access to targeted networks via brute force. SamSam is not spread automatically, like other malware. It requires skill because it forces the attacker to adapt their tactics to the individual environment. Next, the actors escalate their privileges to admin level. They scan the networks for worthy targets, using conventional tools, such as PsExec or PaExec, to deploy/execute, quickly encrypting files.\\\nThis Analytic Story includes searches designed to help detect and investigate signs of the SamSam ransomware, such as the creation of fileswrites to system32, writes with tell-tale extensions, batch files written to system32, and evidence of brute-force attacks via RDP.", "references": ["https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/an-in-depth-analysis-of-samsam-ransomware-and-boss-spider/",

technique T1053 refers to Scheduled Task/Job. Adversaries might use task scheduling utilities to execute programs or scripts at a predefined date and time. This method is often used for persistence but can also be used for privilege escalation or to execute tasks under certain conditions. Scheduling tasks can be beneficial for an attacker as it can allow them to execute actions at times when the system is less likely to be monitored actively. Different operating systems have different utilities for task scheduling, for example, Unix-like systems have Cron, while Windows has Scheduled Tasks and At Jobs.", "narrative": "MITRE ATT&CK technique T1053, labeled \"Scheduled Task/Job\", is a categorization of methods that adversaries use to execute malicious code by scheduling tasks or jobs on a system. This technique is widely utilized for persistence, privilege escalation, and the remote execution of tasks. The technique is applicable across various environments and platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.\\\nThe technique consists of multiple sub-techniques, each highlighting a distinct mechanism for scheduling tasks or jobs. These sub-techniques include T1053.001 (Scheduled Task), T1053.002 (At for Windows), T1053.003 (Cron), T1053.004 (Launchd), T1053.005 (At for Linux), and T1053.006 (Systemd Timers).\\\nScheduled Task (T1053.001) focuses on adversaries' methods for scheduling tasks on a Windows system to maintain persistence or escalate privileges. These tasks can be set to execute at specified times, in response to particular events, or after a defined time interval.\\\nThe At command for Windows (T1053.002) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Windows system. Adversaries may exploit this command to execute programs at system startup or at a predetermined schedule for persistence.\\\nCron (T1053.003) is a built-in job scheduler found in Unix-like operating systems. Adversaries can use cron jobs to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nLaunchd (T1053.004) is a service management framework present in macOS. Adversaries may utilize launchd to maintain persistence on macOS systems by setting up daemons or agents to execute at specific times or in response to defined events.\\\nThe At command for Linux (T1053.005) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Linux system. Adversaries can use this command to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nSystemd Timers (T1053.006) offer a means of scheduling tasks on Linux systems using systemd. Adversaries can use systemd timers to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nDetection and mitigation strategies vary for each sub-technique. For instance, monitoring the creation of scheduled tasks or looking for uncorrelated changes to tasks that do not align with known software or patch cycles can be effective for detecting malicious activity related to this technique. Mitigation strategies may involve restricting permissions and applying application control solutions to prevent adversaries from scheduling tasks.", "references":

To conduct operations using this tool, the FSB created a covert peer-to-peer (P2P) network of numerous Snake-infected computers worldwide. Many systems in this P2P network serve as relay nodes which route disguised operational traffic to and from Snake implants on the FSB's ultimate targets. Snake's custom communications protocols employ encryption and fragmentation for confidentiality and are designed to hamper detection and collection efforts. We consider Snake to be the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool in the FSB's arsenal. The sophistication of Snake stems from three principal areas. First, Snake employs means to achieve a rare level of stealth in its host components and network communications. Second, Snake's internal technical architecture allows for easy incorporation of new or replacement components. This design also facilitates the development and interoperability of Snake instances running on different host operating systems. We have observed interoperable Snake implants for Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Lastly, Snake demonstrates careful software engineering design and implementation, with the implant containing surprisingly few bugs given its complexity.

Active Directory is a centralized and hierarchical database that stores information about users, computers, and other resources on a network. It provides secure and efficient management of these resources and enables administrators to enforce security policies and delegate administrative tasks.\\\nIn 2015 Active Directory security researcher Sean Metcalf published a blog post titled `Sneaky Active Directory Persistence Tricks`. In this blog post, Sean described several methods through which an attacker could persist administrative access on an Active Directory network after having Domain Admin level rights for a short period of time. At the time of writing, 8 years after the initial blog post, most of these techniques are still possible since they abuse legitimate administrative functionality and not software vulnerabilities. Security engineers defending Active Directory networks should be aware of these technique available to adversaries post exploitation and deploy both preventive and detective security controls for them.\\\nThis analytic story groups detection opportunities for most of the techniques described on Seans blog post as well as other high impact attacks against Active Directory networks and Domain Controllers like DCSync and DCShadow. For some of these detection opportunities, it is necessary to enable the necessary GPOs and SACLs required, otherwise the event codes will not trigger.

simplicity, phishing remains the most pervasive and dangerous cyberthreat. In fact, research shows that as many as [91% of all successful attacks](https://digitalguardian.com/blog/91-percent-cyber-attacks-start-phishing-email-heres-how-protect-against-phishing) are initiated via a phishing email. \\\nAs most people know, these emails use fraudulent domains, [email scraping](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), familiar contact names inserted as senders, and other tactics to lure targets into clicking a malicious link, opening an attachment with a [nefarious payload](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), or entering sensitive personal information that perpetrators may intercept. This attack technique requires a relatively low level of skill and allows adversaries to easily cast a wide net. Worse, because its success relies on the gullibility of humans, it's impossible to completely \"automate\" it out of your environment.

An example is Microsoft Office files. Most corporate users are familiar with documents with the following suffixes: .doc/.docx (MS Word), .xls/.xlsx (MS Excel), and .ppt/.pptx (MS PowerPoint), so they may click without a second thought, slashing a hole in their organizations' security. \\\nFollowing is a typical series of events, according to an [article by Trend Micro](https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/rising-trend-attackers-using-lnk-files-download-malware/):\\\n1.

This technique involves modifying the Dll and FuncName Registry values that point to the dynamic link library (DLL) providing a SIP's function, which retrieves an encoded digital certificate from a signed file. By pointing to a maliciously-crafted DLL with an exported function that always returns a known good signature value, an adversary can apply an acceptable signature value to all files using that SIP. This can also enable persistent code execution, since these malicious components may be invoked by any application that performs code signing or signature validation.", "narrative": "In user mode, Windows Authenticode digital signatures are used to verify a file's origin and integrity, variables that may be used to establish trust in signed code. The signature validation process is handled via the WinVerifyTrust application programming interface (API) function, which accepts an inquiry and coordinates with the appropriate trust provider, which is responsible for validating parameters of a signature. Because of the varying executable file types and corresponding signature formats, Microsoft created software components called Subject Interface Packages (SIPs) to provide a layer of abstraction between API functions and files. SIPs are responsible for enabling API functions to create, retrieve, calculate, and verify signatures. Unique SIPs exist for most file formats and are identified by globally unique identifiers (GUIDs).

Text4shell, similar to the old Spring4Shell and Log4Shell, was originally reported by Alvaro Munoz on the very popular Apache Commons Text library.", "narrative": "Apache Commons Text is a Java library described as \"a library focused on algorithms working on strings.\" We can see it as a general-purpose text manipulation toolkit. This vulnerability affects the StringSubstitutor interpolator class, which is included in the Commons Text library. A default interpolator allows for string lookups that can lead to Remote Code Execution. This is due to a logic flaw that makes the \"script,\" \"dns,\" and \"url\" lookup keys interpolated by default, as opposed to what it should be, according to the documentation of the StringLookupFactory class. Those keys allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via lookups. In order to exploit the vulnerabilities, the following requirements must be met - Run a version of Apache Commons Text from version 1.5 to 1.9 and use the StringSubstitutor interpolator. It is important to specify that the StringSubstitutor interpolator is not as widely used as the string substitution in Log4j, which led to Log4Shell. According to the CVSSv3 system, it scores 9.8 as CRITICAL severity. The severity is Critical due to the easy exploitability and huge potential impact in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As we showed in the previous section, you can take full control over the vulnerable system with a crafted request. However, it is not likely the vulnerabilities will have the same impacts as the previous Log4Shell and Spring4Shell.", "references": ["https://sysdig.com/blog/cve-2022-42889-text4shell/"], "tags":

This software is widely used for intelligent operations management across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, so a vulnerability in it poses a significant risk to many organizations.\\\nThis particular vulnerability lies in the application's Apache Thrift RPC interface. The exploit allows an attacker to inject commands that are executed with root privileges, leading to a potential total compromise of the system. The attacker does not need to be authenticated, which further increases the risk posed by this vulnerability.\\\nThe exploit operates by sending a specially crafted payload to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint. This payload contains a reverse shell command, which, when executed, allows the attacker to remotely control the victim's system. This control is obtained at the root level, providing the attacker with the ability to perform any action on the system.\\\nWhat makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous is its high severity score of 9.8, indicating it is a critical threat. It's also noteworthy that the exploitation of this vulnerability leaves specific indicators such as abnormal traffic to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint and suspicious ncat commands in network traffic, which can help in its detection.\\\nVMware has acknowledged the vulnerability and has published a security advisory recommending that users update to the latest version of the software. This update effectively patches the vulnerability and protects systems from this exploit. It's crucial that all users of the affected versions of VMware's vRealize Network Insight promptly apply the update to mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2023-20887.", "references": ["https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20887", "https://summoning.team/blog/vmware-vrealize-network-insight-rce-cve-2023-20887/", "https://viz.greynoise.io/tag/VMware-aria-operations-for-networks-rce-attempt?days=30", "https://github.com/sinsinology/CVE-2023-20887"], "tags": {"name": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "analytic_story": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1210", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "MuddyWater", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1068", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT33", "BITTER", "Cobalt Group", "FIN6", "FIN8", "LAPSUS$", "MoustachedBouncer", "PLATINUM", "Scattered Spider", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Whitefly", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Lateral Movement", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}]}, {"name": "VMware Server Side Injection and Privilege Escalation", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2022-05-19", "version": 1, "id": "d6d51cc2-a092-43b7-9f61-1159943afe39", "description": "Recently disclosed CVE-2022-22954 and CVE-2022-22960 have been identified in the wild abusing VMware products to compromise internet faced devices and escalate privileges.", "narrative": "On April 6, 2022, VMware published VMSA-2022-0011, which discloses multiple vulnerabilities discovered by Steven Seeley (mr_me) of Qihoo 360 Vulnerability Research Institute.

This analytic story looks for suspicious process execution, command-line activity, downloads, persistence, defense evasion and more.", "narrative": "Warzone RAT, also known as Ave Maria, is a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT) that surfaced in January 2019. Originally offered as malware-as-a-service (MaaS), it rapidly gained notoriety and became one of the most prominent malware strains by 2020. Its exceptional capabilities in stealth and anti-analysis techniques make it a formidable threat in various campaigns, including those targeting sensitive geopolitical entities. The malware's impact is particularly concerning as it has been associated with attacks aimed at compromising government employees and military personnel, notably within India's National Informatics Centre (NIC). Its deployment by several advanced persistent threat (APT) groups further underlines its potency and adaptability in the hands of skilled threat actors. Warzone RAT's capabilities enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to targeted systems, facilitating data theft, surveillance, and the potential to wreak havoc on critical infrastructures. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures are crucial in defending against such malicious tools.\" This version provides more context and elaborates on the malware's capabilities and potential impact. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity measures to combat such threats effectively.", "references":

Bootkits reside at a layer below the operating system and may make it difficult to perform full remediation unless an organization suspects one was used and can act accordingly.", "narrative": "A bootkit is a sophisticated type of malware that targets the boot sectors of a hard drive, specifically the Master Boot Record (MBR) and Volume Boot Record (VBR). The MBR is the initial section of the disk that is loaded following the hardware initialization process executed by the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). It houses the boot loader, which is responsible for loading the operating system. In contrast, the VBR is located at the beginning of each partition and contains the boot code for that specific partition. When an adversary gains raw access to the boot drive, they can overwrite the MBR or VBR, effectively diverting the execution during startup from the standard boot loader to the malicious code injected by the attacker. This tampering allows the malware to load before the operating system, enabling it to execute malicious activities stealthily and maintain persistence on the compromised system. Bootkits are particularly dangerous because they can bypass security measures implemented by the operating system and antivirus software. Since they load before the operating system, they can easily evade detection and manipulate the system's behavior from the earliest stages of the boot process. This capability makes bootkits a potent tool in an attacker's arsenal for gaining unauthorized access, stealing sensitive information, or launching further attacks on other systems. To defend against bootkit attacks, organizations should implement multiple layers of security, including strong endpoint protection, regular software updates, user awareness training, and monitoring for unusual system behavior. Additionally, hardware-based security features, such as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot and Trusted Platform Module (TPM), can help protect the integrity of the boot process and reduce the risk of bootkit infections.", "references": ["https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/04/11/guidance-for-investigating-attacks-using-cve-2022-21894-the-blacklotus-campaign/", "https://www.welivesecurity.com/2023/03/01/blacklotus-uefi-bootkit-myth-confirmed/"], "tags": {"name": "Windows BootKits", "analytic_story": "Windows BootKits", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1542.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1542", "mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Windows BootLoader Inventory - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Registry BootExecute Modification - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Windows BootLoader Inventory", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Registry BootExecute Modification", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Certificate Services", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-01", "version": 1, "id": "b92b4ac7-0026-4408-a6b5-c1d20658e124", "description": "Adversaries may steal or forge certificates used for authentication to access remote systems or resources.

Authentication certificates can be both stolen and forged. For example, AD CS certificates can be stolen from encrypted storage (in the Registry or files), misplaced certificate files (i.e. Unsecured Credentials), or directly from the Windows certificate store via various crypto APIs.With appropriate enrollment rights, users and/or machines within a domain can also request and/or manually renew certificates from enterprise certificate authorities (CA). This enrollment process defines various settings and permissions associated with the certificate. Abusing certificates for authentication credentials may enable other behaviors such as Lateral Movement. Certificate-related misconfigurations may also enable opportunities for Privilege Escalation, by way of allowing users to impersonate or assume privileged accounts or permissions via the identities (SANs) associated with a certificate. These abuses may also enable Persistence via stealing or forging certificates that can be used as Valid Accounts for the duration of the certificate's validity, despite user password resets. Authentication certificates can also be stolen and forged for machine accounts.

First, it must have a valid signature. Second, typically it should load from the windows\\system32\\drivers path. There are a few methods to investigate drivers in the environment. Drivers are noisy. An inventory of all drivers is important to understand prevalence. A driver location (Path) is also important when attempting to baseline. Looking at a driver name and path is not enough, we must also explore the signing information. Product, description, company name, signer and signing result are all items to take into account when reviewing drivers. What makes a driver malicious? Depending if a driver was dropped during a campaign or you are baselining drivers after, triaging a driver to determine maliciousness may be tough. We break this into two categories - 1. vulnerable drivers 2. driver rootkits. Attempt to identify prevelance of the driver. Is it on one or many? Review the signing information if it is present.

Multiple binaries were dropped onto the system via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), some of which were flagged as potential exploits for a known vulnerability. However, a string containing the Russian term for \"0day\" suggested an unknown vulnerability was at play. Subsequent investigations identified this as a zero-day vulnerability affecting the Windows Error Reporting (WER) component, now known as CVE-2023-36874. \\\nThe WER service's function is to report software issues on Windows hosts. The exploit centered around manipulating the WER service by redirecting file systems to execute attacker-controlled code with elevated privileges. This was achieved by creating a symbolic link redirection from the C:\\ drive to an attacker-controlled directory, and then triggering certain WER functions. Consequently, an unauthorized executable was run instead of the legitimate one, giving the attacker high-level access. \\\nThe observed exploit kit's primary objective was to initiate a privileged interpreter, such as cmd.exe or powershell_ise.exe. If this couldn't be achieved, a privileged scheduled task was created as an alternative. The exploit kit showcased a range of binaries, some packed and others not, some in C++ and others in pure C. This diversity suggests the knowledge of the vulnerability was likely shared among different developers. \\\nCrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations, as of now, hasn't linked this activity to any specific threat actor.

Some of the malicious behaviors involved may include inserting spaces before file extensions or prepending the file extension with a different one, among other techniques.", "narrative": "Attackers use a variety of techniques to entice users to run malicious code or to persist on an endpoint. One way to accomplish these goals is to leverage file extensions and the mechanism Windows uses to associate files with specific applications. \\\n Since its earliest days, Windows has used extensions to identify file types. Users have become familiar with these extensions and their application associations. For example, if users see that a file ends in `.doc` or `.docx`, they will assume that it is a Microsoft Word document and expect that double-clicking will open it using `winword.exe`. The user will typically also presume that the `.docx` file is safe. \\\n Attackers take advantage of this expectation by obfuscating the true file extension. They can accomplish this in a couple of ways. One technique involves inserting multiple spaces in the file name before the extension to hide the extension from the GUI, obscuring the true nature of the file. Another approach involves prepending the real extension with a different one. This is especially effective when Windows is configured to \"hide extensions for known file types.\" In this case, the real extension is not displayed, but the prepended one is, leading end users to believe the file is a different type than it actually is.\\\nChanging the association between a file extension and an application can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The technique typically involves changing the association for an often-launched file type to associate instead with a malicious program the attacker has dropped on the endpoint. When the end user launches a file that has been manipulated in this way, it will execute the attacker's malware. It will also execute the application the end user expected to run, cleverly obscuring the fact that something suspicious has occurred.\\\nRun the searches in this story to detect and investigate suspicious behavior that may indicate abuse or manipulation of Windows file extensions and/or associations.", "references": ["https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2013/12/file-extensions-2/", "https://attack.mitre.org/wiki/Technique/T1042"], "tags": {"name": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "analytic_story": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1036.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "GALLIUM", "Lazarus Group", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1546.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Kimsuky"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1036", "mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT32", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Kimsuky", "LazyScripter", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Windshift", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension - Rule", "ESCU - Suspicious Changes to File Associations - Rule", "ESCU - Execution of File with Multiple Extensions - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Parent Process Info - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Process Info - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}, {"name": "Suspicious Changes to File Associations", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association"}]}}, {"name": "Execution of File with Multiple Extensions", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Log Manipulation", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-12", "version": 2, "id": "b6db2c60-a281-48b4-95f1-2cd99ed56835", "description": "Adversaries often try to cover their tracks by manipulating Windows logs.

Even if no malicious activity is detected, the knowledge of an attempt to manipulate system logs may be indicative of a broader security risk that should be thoroughly investigated.\\\nThe Analytic Story gives users two different ways to detect manipulation of Windows Event Logs and one way to detect deletion of the Update Sequence Number (USN) Change Journal.

This vulnerability was exploited by cybercriminals to craft ZIP archives containing malicious and non-malicious files, distributed on specialized trading forums. The exploit allowed them to spoof file extensions, hiding the launch of malicious scripts within an archive masquerading as a '.jpg', '.txt', or any other file format. When victims opened the specially crafted archive, it executed the malware, leading to unauthorized access to their broker accounts and enabling the cybercriminals to perform illicit financial transactions and withdraw funds. \\\nThe vulnerability was discovered while researching the spread of DarkMe malware, a VisualBasic spy Trojan attributed to the financially motivated group, Evilnum. The malware was distributed alongside other malware families, such as GuLoader and Remcos RAT, via malicious ZIP archives posted on popular trading forums or distributed via file-sharing services. Despite efforts by forum administrators to warn users and disable threat actors' accounts, the cybercriminals continued to spread the malicious files, compromising devices, and leading to financial losses. \\\nGroup-IB immediately notified RARLAB about the vulnerability, and they promptly responded by issuing a patch. The beta version of the patch was released on July 20, 2023, and the final updated version, WinRAR 6.23, was released on August 2, 2023. Group-IB recommends all users install the latest version of WinRAR to mitigate the risk of exploitation. \\\nIn conclusion, the exploitation of the CVE-2023-38831 vulnerability highlights the constant risks associated with software vulnerabilities and the importance of remaining vigilant, keeping systems updated, and following security guidelines to avoid falling victim to such attacks. Collaboration between security researchers and software developers is essential to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, making it harder for cybercriminals to exploit them.", "references": ["https://www.group-ib.com/blog/cve-2023-38831-winrar-zero-day/", "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-38831"], "tags": {"name": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "analytic_story": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1105", "mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Ajax Security Team", "Andariel", "Aquatic Panda", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Elderwood", "Ember Bear", "Evilnum", "FIN13", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "IndigoZebra", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "Molerats", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volatile Cedar", "WIRTE", "Whitefly", "Windshift", "Winnti Group", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Command And Control"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - WinRAR Spawning Shell Application - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "WinRAR Spawning Shell Application", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer"}]}}]}, {"name": "Winter Vivern", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-16", "version": 1, "id": "5ce5f311-b311-4568-90ca-0c36781d07a4", "description": "Utilize searches that enable you to detect and investigate unusual activities potentially related to the Winter Vivern malicious software.

Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The two critical vulnerabilities are CVE-2023-40044, a .NET deserialization flaw, and CVE-2023-42657, a directory traversal vulnerability. Rapid7 has observed active exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Affected versions are prior to 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. Immediate action is advised - upgrade to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure. This comes in the wake of increased scrutiny following the Cl0p ransomware attack on MOVEit Transfer in May 2023.", "narrative": "Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in WS_FTP Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The first, CVE-2023-40044, is a .NET deserialization flaw that targets the Ad Hoc Transfer module of WS_FTP Server versions earlier than 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server's operating system without needing authentication. The second vulnerability, CVE-2023-42657, is a directory traversal flaw that allows attackers to perform unauthorized file operations outside of their authorized WS_FTP folder. In severe cases, the attacker could escape the WS_FTP Server file structure and perform operations on the underlying operating system. Both vulnerabilities have been observed being exploited in the wild and immediate action for mitigation is strongly advised. Updating to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2 is recommended. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure.", "references": ["https://www.assetnote.io/resources/research/rce-in-progress-ws-ftp-ad-hoc-via-iis-http-modules-cve-2023-40044", "https://community.progress.com/s/article/WS-FTP-Server-Critical-Vulnerability-September-2023", "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-40044", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/09/29/etr-critical-vulnerabilities-in-ws_ftp-server/", "https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/security/fantastic-iis-modules-and-how-to-find-them.html"], "tags": {"name": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "analytic_story": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1505", "mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT38", "APT39", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "TEMP.Veles", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior - Rule", "ESCU - W3WP Spawning Shell - Rule", "ESCU - Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query - Rule", "ESCU - WS FTP Remote Code Execution - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "W3WP Spawning Shell", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}]}}, {"name": "WS FTP Remote Code Execution", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "XMRig", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Rod Soto Splunk", "date": "2021-05-07", "version": 1, "id": "06723e6a-6bd8-4817-ace2-5fb8a7b06628", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the xmrig monero, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process command-line, defense evasion (killing services, deleting users, modifying files or folder permission, killing other malware or other coin miner) and hacking tools including Telegram as mean of Command And Control (C2) to download other files.

The malicious activity includes beaconing to actor controlled infrastructure, deployment of second stage payloads, and, in a small number of cases, hands on keyboard activity. (CrowdStrike)", "narrative": "On March 22, 2023, cybersecurity firm SentinelOne observed a surge in behavioral detections of trojanized 3CXDesktopApp installers, a popular PABX voice and video conferencing software. The multi-stage attack chain, which automatically quarantines trojanized installers, involves downloading ICO files with base64 data from GitHub and eventually leads to a 3rd stage infostealer DLL that is still under analysis. While the Mac installer remains unconfirmed as trojanized, ongoing investigations are also examining other potentially compromised applications, such as Chrome extensions. The threat actor behind the supply chain compromise, which started in February 2022, has used a code signing certificate to sign the trojanized binaries, but connections to existing threat clusters remain unclear. SentinelOne updated their IOCs on March 30th, 2023, with contributions from the research community and continues to monitor the situation for further developments. 3CX identified the vulnerability in the recent versions 18.12.407 and 18.12.416 for the desktop app. A new certificate for the app will also be produced.", "references": ["https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/smoothoperator-ongoing-campaign-trojanizes-3cx-software-in-software-supply-chain-attack/", "https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/03/30/supply-chain-attack-against-3cxdesktopapp", "https://www.reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/comments/125r3uu/20230329_situational_awareness_crowdstrike/", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/crowdstrike-endpoint-security-detection-re-3cx-desktop-app.119934/page-2#post-558898", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/3cx-desktopapp-security-alert.119951/", "https://www.elastic.co/security-labs/elastic-users-protected-from-suddenicon-supply-chain-attack", "https://www.volexity.com/blog/2023/03/30/3cx-supply-chain-compromise-leads-to-iconic-incident/"], "tags": {"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "analytic_story": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1195.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "Cobalt Group", "Dragonfly", "FIN7", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Sandworm Team", "Threat Group-3390"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT33", "APT39", "Evilnum", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Leafminer", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT3", "APT33", "APT37", "Ajax Security Team", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leafminer", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Sandworm Team", "Stealth Falcon", "TA505", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - 3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators - Rule", "ESCU - Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software - Rule", "ESCU - Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}]}, {"name": "IcedID", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2021-07-29", "version": 1, "id": "1d2cc747-63d7-49a9-abb8-93aa36305603", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the IcedID banking trojan, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process injection, shellcode execution and data collection.", "narrative": "IcedId banking trojan campaigns targeting banks and other vertical sectors.This malware is known in Microsoft Windows OS targetting browser such as firefox and chrom to steal banking information.

This story focuses on the abnormal behavior within Kubernetes environments that can be indicative of security threats. Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication, all of which can be exploited by attackers. Observability data, such as metrics, play a crucial role in identifying these abnormal behaviors. These behaviors could be a result of attacks on the control plane, exploitation of misconfigurations, or breaches of containerized applications.

"Kerberos, initially named after Cerberus, the three-headed dog in Greek mythology, is a network authentication protocol that allows computers and users to prove their identity through a trusted third-party. This trusted third-party issues Kerberos tickets using symmetric encryption to allow users access to services and network resources based on their privilege level. Kerberos is the default authentication protocol used on Windows Active Directory networks since the introduction of Windows Server 2003. With Kerberos being the backbone of Windows authentication, it is commonly abused by adversaries across the different phases of a breach including initial access, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, lateral movement, etc.\\ This Analytic Story groups detection use cases in which the Kerberos protocol is abused. Defenders can leverage these analytics to detect and hunt for adversaries engaging in Kerberos based attacks.", "references": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol)",

"Detect and investigate tactics, techniques, and procedures around how attackers move laterally within an Active Directory environment. Since lateral movement is often a necessary step in a breach, it is important for cyber defenders to deploy detection coverage.", "narrative": "Once attackers gain a foothold within an enterprise, they will seek to expand their accesses and leverage techniques that facilitate lateral movement. Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation.\\\nIndications of lateral movement in an Active Directory network can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, Service Control Manager, the DCOM protocol, WinRM or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor.\\\nAn adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders.\\\nIf there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. \\\n It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented. Analysts should account for all processes to ensure that the attackers did not install unauthorized software.", "references":

Password Spraying attacks within Active Directory environments.", "narrative": "In a password spraying attack, adversaries leverage one or a small list of commonly used / popular passwords against a large volume of usernames to acquire valid account credentials. Unlike a Brute Force attack that targets a specific user or small group of users with a large number of passwords, password spraying follows the opposite aproach and increases the chances of obtaining valid credentials while avoiding account lockouts. This allows adversaries to remain undetected if the target organization does not have the proper monitoring and detection controls in place.\\\nPassword Spraying can be leveraged by adversaries across different stages in an attack. It can be used to obtain an iniial access to an environment but can also be used to escalate privileges when access has been already achieved. In some scenarios, this technique capitalizes on a security policy most organizations implement, password rotation. As enterprise users change their passwords, it is possible some pick predictable, seasonal passwords such as `$CompanyNameWinter`, `Summer2021`, etc.\\\nSpecifically, this Analytic Story is focused on detecting possible Password Spraying attacks against Active Directory environments leveraging Windows Event Logs in the `Account Logon` and `Logon/Logoff` Advanced Audit Policy categories. It presents 16 detection analytics which can aid defenders in identifying instances where one source user, source host or source process attempts to authenticate against a target or targets using a high or statiscally unsual, number of unique users. A user, host or process attempting to authenticate with multiple users is not common behavior for legitimate systems and should be monitored by security teams. Possible false positive scenarios include but are not limited to vulnerability scanners, remote administration tools, multi-user systems and missconfigured systems. These should be easily spotted when first implementing the detection and addded to an allow list or lookup table. The presented detections can also be used in Threat Hunting exercises.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1110/003/", "https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/04/23/protecting-organization-password-spray-attacks/", "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn452415(v=ws.11)"], "tags": {"name": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "analytic_story": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1110.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Password Spraying", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT33", "Chimera", "HEXANE", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Silent Librarian"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1110", "mitre_attack_technique": "Brute Force", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT38", "APT39", "DarkVishnya", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "Fox Kitten", "HEXANE", "OilRig", "Turla"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities.\\\nActive Directory is a central component of most enterprise networks, providing authentication and authorization services for users, computers, and other resources. It stores sensitive information such as passwords, user accounts, and security policies, and is therefore a high-value target for attackers. Privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory typically involve exploiting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations across the network to gain elevated privileges, such as Domain Administrator access. Once an attacker has escalated their privileges and taken full control of a domain, they can easily move laterally throughout the network, access sensitive data, and carry out further attacks. Security teams should monitor for privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory to identify a breach before attackers achieve operational success.\\\nThe following analytic story groups detection

CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-08-23", "version": 1, "id": "e33e2e38-f9c2-432d-8be6-bc67b92aa82e", "description": "In July 2023, a significant vulnerability, CVE-2023-29298, affecting Adobe ColdFusion was uncovered by Rapid7, shedding light on an access control bypass mechanism. This vulnerability allows attackers to access sensitive ColdFusion Administrator endpoints by exploiting a flaw in the URL path validation. Disturbingly, this flaw can be chained with another critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-26360, which has been actively exploited. The latter enables unauthorized arbitrary code execution and file reading. Adobe has promptly addressed these vulnerabilities, but the intricacies and potential ramifications of their combination underscore the importance of immediate action by organizations. With active exploitation in the wild and the ability to bypass established security measures, the situation is alarming. Organizations are urged to apply the updates provided by Adobe immediately, considering the active threat landscape and the severe implications of these chained vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "Adobe ColdFusion, a prominent application server, has been thrust into the cybersecurity spotlight due to two intertwined vulnerabilities. The first, CVE-2023-29298, identified by Rapid7 in July 2023, pertains to an access control bypass in ColdFusion's security mechanisms. This flaw allows attackers to access protected ColdFusion Administrator endpoints simply by manipulating the URL path, specifically by inserting an additional forward slash.\\ Compounding the threat is the revelation that CVE-2023-29298 can be chained with CVE-2023-26360, another severe ColdFusion vulnerability. This latter vulnerability, which has seen active exploitation, permits unauthorized attackers to execute arbitrary code or read arbitrary files on the affected system. In practice, an attacker could exploit the access control bypass to access sensitive ColdFusion endpoints and subsequently exploit the arbitrary code execution vulnerability, broadening their control and access over the targeted system. \\ The consequences of these vulnerabilities are manifold. Attackers can potentially login to the ColdFusion Administrator with known credentials, bruteforce their way in, leak sensitive information, or exploit other vulnerabilities in the exposed CFM and CFC files. This combination of vulnerabilities significantly heightens the risk profile for organizations using the affected versions of Adobe ColdFusion. \\ Addressing the urgency, Adobe released fixes for these vulnerabilities in July 2023, urging organizations to update to ColdFusion 2023 GA build, ColdFusion 2021 Update 7, and ColdFusion 2018 Update 17. However, Rapid7's disclosure highlights a potential incomplete fix, suggesting that organizations should remain vigilant and proactive in their security measures. \\\nIn conclusion, the discovery of these vulnerabilities and their potential to be exploited in tandem presents a significant security challenge. Organizations using Adobe ColdFusion must prioritize the application of security updates, monitor their systems closely for signs of intrusion, and remain updated on any further developments related to these vulnerabilities.", "references": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb23-25.html", "https://twitter.com/stephenfewer/status/1678881017526886400?s=20", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/07/11/cve-2023-29298-adobe-coldfusion-access-control-bypass", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisa-warns-of-adobe-coldfusion-bug-exploited-as-a-zero-day/"], "tags": {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "analytic_story": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass - Rule", "ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}, {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "AgentTesla", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2022-04-12", "version": 1, "id": "9bb6077a-843e-418b-b134-c57ef997103c", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the AgentTesla malware including .chm application child process, ftp/smtp connection, persistence and many more.

"Detect and investigate activities--such as unusually long `Content-Type` length, suspicious java classes and web servers executing suspicious processes--consistent with attempts to exploit Apache Struts vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "In March of 2017, a remote code-execution vulnerability in the Jakarta Multipart parser in Apache Struts, a widely used open-source framework for creating Java web applications, was disclosed and assigned to CVE-2017-5638. About two months later, hackers exploited the flaw to carry out the world's <a href=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/09/07/nations-biggest-hacks-and-data-breaches-millions/644311001/> 5th largest data breach</a>. The target, credit giant Equifax, <a href=https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/16/technology/equifax-breach-security-hole/index.html>told investigators</a> that it had become aware of the vulnerability two months before the attack. \\\nThe exploit involved manipulating the `Content-Type HTTP` header to execute commands embedded in the header.\\\nThis Analytic Story contains two different searches that help to identify activity that may be related to this issue. The first search looks for characteristics of the `Content-Type` header consistent with attempts to exploit the vulnerability. This should be a relatively pertinent indicator, as the `Content-Type` header is generally consistent and does not have a large degree of variation.\\\nThe second search looks for the execution of various commands typically entered on the command shell when an attacker first lands on a system. These commands are not generally executed on web servers during the course of day-to-day operation, but they may be used when the system is undergoing maintenance or troubleshooting.\\\nFirst, it is helpful is to understand how often the notable event is generated, as well as the commonalities in some of these events. This may help determine whether this is a common occurrence that is of a lesser concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It can also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user or system or is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior illustrated by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to see what other events involving the target have occurred in the recent past. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and (potentially) collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. Information like this can be useful in generating your own threat intelligence to create alerts in the future.\\\nLooking at the country, responsible party, and fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address--as well as the registration information associated with those domain names, if they are frequently visited by others--can help you answer the question of \"who,\" in regard to the external system. Answering that can help qualify the event and may serve useful for tracking. In addition, there are various sources that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining if the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether or not there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect some dots or show other events that should be brought into scope.\\\nGathering various data elements on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine that something suspicious may be happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version to help determine whether or not it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nhen it is suspected there is an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIn the event that a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that have the file open, what processes created and/or modified the file, and the number of systems that may have this file can help to determine if the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes quickly help determine whether it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, there may be activity initiated via a compromised website the user visited.\\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process that is of interest. For example, if it turns out that the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might also be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, reviewing the network connections made around the time of the event and/or if the process spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/blob/v3.2/dev/rules/REQUEST-944-APPLICATION-ATTACK-JAVA.conf"], "tags": {"name": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Suspicious Java Classes - Rule", "ESCU - Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes - Rule", "ESCU - Unusually Long Content-Type Length - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Suspicious Strings in HTTP Header - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Web POSTs From src - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Suspicious Java Classes", "source": "application", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes", "source": "application", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}]}}, {"name": "Unusually Long Content-Type Length", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Asset Tracking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-13", "version": 1, "id": "91c676cf-0b23-438d-abee-f6335e1fce77", "description": "Keep a careful inventory of every asset on your network to make it easier to detect rogue devices.

They provide users with dynamically created temporary security credentials that expire within a set time period.\\\nHerein lies the rub.

Azure AD is the backbone of most of Azure services like Office 365. It can sync with on-premise Active Directory environments and provide authentication to other cloud-based systems via the OAuth protocol. According to Microsoft, Azure AD manages more than 1.2 billion identities and processes over 8 billion authentications per day. Account Takeover (ATO) is an attack whereby cybercriminals gain unauthorized access to online accounts by using different techniques like brute force, social engineering, phishing & spear phishing, credential stuffing, etc. By posing as the real user, cyber-criminals can change account details, send out phishing emails, steal financial information or sensitive data, or use any stolen information to access further accounts within the organization. This analytic storic groups detections that can help security operations teams identify the potential compromise of Azure Active Directory accounts.", "references":

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows any unprivileged user to gain root privileges on the vulnerable host.", "narrative": "A non-privledged user is able to execute the sudoedit command to trigger a buffer overflow. After the successful buffer overflow, they are then able to gain root privileges on the affected host. The conditions needed to be run are a trailing \"\\\" along with shell and edit flags. Monitoring the /var/log directory on Linux hosts using the Splunk Universal Forwarder will allow you to pick up this behavior when using the provided detection.", "references": ["https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-research/2021/01/26/cve-2021-3156-heap-based-buffer-overflow-in-sudo-baron-samedit"], "tags": {"name": "Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "analytic_story": "Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1068", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT33", "BITTER", "Cobalt Group", "FIN6", "FIN8", "LAPSUS$", "MoustachedBouncer", "PLATINUM", "Scattered Spider", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Whitefly", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 - Rule", "ESCU - Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 Segfault - Rule", "ESCU - Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 via OSQuery - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Shannon Davis", "detections": [{"name": "Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}, {"name": "Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 Segfault", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}, {"name": "Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 via OSQuery", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}]}, {"name": "BishopFox Sliver Adversary Emulation Framework", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-01-24", "version": 1, "id": "8c2e2cba-3fd8-424f-a890-5080bdaf3f31", "description": "The following analytic story providers visibility into the latest adversary TTPs in regard to the use of Sliver.

The authoring agencies now judge these actors are an APT group affiliated with the IRGC. Since the initial reporting of this activity in the FBI Liaison Alert System (FLASH) report APT Actors Exploiting Fortinet Vulnerabilities to Gain Access for Malicious Activity from May 2021, the authoring agencies have continued to observe these IRGC-affiliated actors exploiting known vulnerabilities for initial access. In addition to exploiting Fortinet and Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities, the authoring agencies have observed these APT actors exploiting VMware Horizon Log4j vulnerabilities for initial access. The IRGC-affiliated actors have used this access for follow-on activity, including disk encryption and data extortion, to support ransom operations. The IRGC-affiliated actors are actively targeting a broad range of entities, including entities across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors as well as Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom organizations. These actors often operate under the auspices of Najee Technology Hooshmand Fater LLC, based in Karaj, Iran, and Afkar System Yazd Company, based in Yazd, Iran. The authoring agencies assess the actors are exploiting known vulnerabilities on unprotected networks rather than targeting specific targeted entities or sectors. This advisory provides observed tactics, techniques, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that the authoring agencies assess are likely associated with this IRGC-affiliated APT. The authoring agencies urge organizations, especially critical infrastructure organizations, to apply the recommendations listed in the Mitigations section of this advisory to mitigate risk of compromise from these IRGC-affiliated cyber actors.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa21-321a", "https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-257a",

Since 2013, cybersecurity companies and governments have reported on SVR operations targeting victim networks to steal confidential and proprietary information. A decade later, the authoring agencies can infer a long-term targeting pattern aimed at collecting, and enabling the collection of, foreign intelligence, a broad concept that for Russia encompasses information on the politics, economics, and military of foreign states; science and technology; and foreign counterintelligence. The SVR also conducts cyber operations targeting technology companies that enable future cyber operations. The SVR's recent operation has targeted networks hosting TeamCity servers, further underscoring its persistent focus on technology companies. By leveraging CVE-2023-42793, a vulnerability within a software development program, the SVR seeks to gain access to victims, potentially compromising numerous software developers' networks. JetBrains responded to this threat by issuing a patch in mid-September 2023, limting the SVR's ability to exploit Internet-accessible TeamCity servers lacking the necessary updates. Despite this mitigation, the SVR has yet to utilize its acquired access to software developers' networks for breaching customer systems. It appears that the SVR is still in the preparatory stages of its operation.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-347a"], "tags": {"name": "CISA AA23-347A",

vulnerability in the Web User Interface (Web UI) feature of Cisco IOS XE software (CVE-2023-20198) when exposed to the internet or untrusted networks. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to create an account on the affected device with privilege level 15 access, effectively granting them full control of the compromised device and allowing possible subsequent unauthorized activity.", "narrative": "Cisco discovered early evidence of potentially malicious activity on September 28, 2023, when a case was opened with Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC) that identified unusual behavior on a customer device. Upon further investigation, they observed what they have determined to be related activity as early as September 18. The activity included an authorized user creating a local user account under the username cisco_tac_admin from a suspicious IP address. On October 12, Cisco Talos Incident Response (Talos IR) and TAC detected what they later determined to be an additional cluster of related activity that began on that same day. In this cluster, an unauthorized user was observed creating a local user account under the name cisco_support from a second suspicious IP address. Unlike the September case, this October activity included several subsequent actions, including the deployment of an implant consisting of a configuration file (cisco_service.conf). The configuration file defines the new web server endpoint (URI path) used to interact with the implant. That endpoint receives certain parameters, described in more detail below, that allows the actor to execute arbitrary commands at the system level or IOS level. For the implant to become active, the web server must be restarted; in at least one observed case the server was not restarted so the implant never became active despite being installed.", "references": ["https://blog.talosintelligence.com/active-exploitation-of-cisco-ios-xe-software/"], "tags": {"name": "Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Cisco IOS XE Implant Access - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Cisco IOS XE Implant Access", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway CVE-2023-4966", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-10-24", "version": 1, "id": "b194d644-4095-431a-bee0-a8e6ec067414", "description": "A critical security update, CVE-2023-4966, has been released for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway.

The advisory offers a comprehensive examination of the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), alongside recommended detection methods and incident response guidelines. Immediate patch application from Citrix and the use of the detection guidance in the advisory is strongly recommended for critical infrastructure organizations to mitigate system compromises.", "narrative": "Recent advisories have highlighted the exploitation of CVE-2023-3519, a critical vulnerability in Citrix's NetScaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) and NetScaler Gateway. In June 2023, threat actors utilized this vulnerability to implant a webshell on a NetScaler ADC appliance within a critical infrastructure organization's non-production environment. This action granted them the ability to perform active directory discovery, data collection, and exfiltration. Notably, attempts for lateral movement to a domain controller were obstructed by network-segmentation controls. \\\nThe compromised organization reported the breach, leading Citrix to issue a patch on July 18, 2023. Multiple advisories have since outlined the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including their initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, discovery, collection, command and control, and impact. These advisories also provide detection methods and recommend incident response measures. \\\nThe threat actors executed several activities during their attack, such as uploading a TGZ file with a generic webshell, discovery script, and setuid binary on the ADC appliance; conducting SMB scanning on the subnet; using the webshell for active directory enumeration and data exfiltration; and accessing NetScaler configuration files and decryption keys. They also decrypted an active directory credential, queried the active directory for various information, encrypted collected data, exfiltrated it as an image file, and attempted to erase their artifacts. Despite these actions, further discovery and lateral movement were impeded due to the organization's network-segmentation controls. \\\nAdvisories suggest conducting specific checks on the ADC shell interface to detect signs of compromise. If a compromise is detected, organizations should isolate potentially affected hosts, reimage compromised hosts, provide new account credentials, collect and review artifacts, and report the compromise. To mitigate the threat, organizations are advised to promptly install the relevant updates for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, adhere to cybersecurity best practices, and apply robust network-segmentation controls on NetScaler appliances and other internet-facing devices. \\", "references": ["https://attackerkb.com/topics/si09VNJhHh/cve-2023-3519", "https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-07/aa23-201a_csa_threat_actors_exploiting_citrix-cve-2023-3519_to_implant_webshells.pdf", "https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX561482/citrix-adc-and-citrix-gateway-security-bulletin-for-cve20233519-cve20233466-cve20233467"], "tags": {"name": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "analytic_story": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519 - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519", "source": "web", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix ShareFile RCE CVE-2023-24489", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-07-26", "version": 1, "id": "10c7e01a-5743-4995-99df-a66f6b5db653", "description": "A critical vulnerability has been discovered in ShareFile's Storage Zones Controller software (CVE-2023-24489), used by numerous organizations for file sharing and storage. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated arbitrary file upload and remote code execution due to a cryptographic bug in the software's encryption but lack of authentication system. The risk comes from a failing encryption check, allowing potential cybercriminals to upload malicious files to the server. The bug was found in the Documentum Connector's .aspx files.

It was discovered that this software has a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-24489) in the file upload functionality provided by the Documentum Connector's .aspx files. Specifically, the security flaw lies in the encryption check in the file upload process which could be bypassed, allowing for unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads and remote code execution. \\\nThe application sets the current principal from a session cookie, but if this is missing, the application continues without authentication. The application uses AES encryption, with CBC mode and PKCS#7 padding. A decryption check is in place which returns an error if the decryption fails, but this can be bypassed by supplying a ciphertext that results in valid padding after decryption, thereby not causing an exception. \\\nThe Documentum Connector's upload.aspx file, when uploading a file, calls the ProcessRawPostedFile function, which allows a path traversal due to improper sanitization of the 'uploadId' parameter. It allows the 'filename' and 'uploadId' parameters to be concatenated, and while the 'filename' parameter is sanitized, the 'uploadId' is not. The 'parentid' parameter is passed in but is also not used. \\\nThe vulnerability enables an attacker to upload a webshell or any other malicious file, by providing a properly padded encrypted string for the 'parentid' parameter, and specifying the path for the 'uploadId' and the name for the 'filename'. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by requesting the uploaded file.

The attacks have moved from in-browser exploits and mobile phones to enterprise cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. It's difficult to determine exactly how widespread the practice has become, since bad actors continually evolve their ability to escape detection, including employing unlisted endpoints, moderating their CPU usage, and hiding the mining pool's IP address behind a free CDN. \\\nWhen malicious miners appropriate a cloud instance, often spinning up hundreds of new instances, the costs can become astronomical for the account holder.

and investigate unusual activities that relate to the ColdRoot Remote Access Trojan that affects MacOS. An example of some of these activities are changing sensative binaries in the MacOS sub-system, detecting process names and executables associated with the RAT, detecting when a keyboard tab is installed on a MacOS machine and more.", "narrative": "Conventional wisdom holds that Apple's MacOS operating system is significantly less vulnerable to attack than Windows machines. While that point is debatable, it is true that attacks against MacOS systems are much less common. However, this fact does not mean that Macs are impervious to breaches. To the contrary, research has shown that that Mac malware is increasing at an alarming rate. According to AV-test, in 2018, there were 86,865 new MacOS malware variants, up from 27,338 the year before&#151;a 31% increase. In contrast, the independent research firm found that new Windows malware had increased from 65.17M to 76.86M during that same period, less than half the rate of growth. The bottom line is that while the numbers look a lot smaller than Windows, it's definitely time to take Mac security more seriously.\\\nThis Analytic Story addresses the ColdRoot remote access trojan (RAT), which was uploaded to Github in 2016, but was still escaping detection by the first quarter of 2018, when a new, more feature-rich variant was discovered masquerading as an Apple audio driver. Among other capabilities, the Pascal-based ColdRoot can heist passwords from users' keychains and remotely control infected machines without detection. In the initial report of his findings, Patrick Wardle, Chief Research Officer for Digita Security, explained that the new ColdRoot RAT could start and kill processes on the breached system, spawn new remote-desktop sessions, take screen captures and assemble them into a live stream of the victim's desktop, and more.\\\nSearches in this Analytic Story leverage the capabilities of OSquery to address ColdRoot detection from several different angles, such as looking for the existence of associated files and processes, and monitoring for signs of an installed keylogger.", "references": ["https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/osxcoldroot-and-the-rat-invasion/", "https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x2A.html", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/coldroot-rat-still-undetectable-despite-being-uploaded-on-github-two-years-ago/"], "tags": {"name": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "analytic_story": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [], "mitre_attack_tactics": [], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": []}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection - Rule", "ESCU - MacOS - Re-opened Applications - Rule", "ESCU - Processes Tapping Keyboard Events - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Network Traffic From src ip - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Jose Hernandez", "detections": [{"name": "Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "MacOS - Re-opened Applications", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Processes Tapping Keyboard Events", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Collection and Staging", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-03", "version": 1, "id": "8e03c61e-13c4-4dcd-bfbe-5ce5a8dc031a", "description": "Monitor for and investigate activities--such as suspicious writes to the Windows Recycling Bin or email servers sending high amounts of traffic to specific hosts, for example--that may indicate that an adversary is harvesting and exfiltrating sensitive data.

The threat actors target a variety of sources to extract them, including the Security Accounts Manager (SAM), Local Security Authority (LSA), NTDS from Domain Controllers, or the Group Policy Preference (GPP) files.\\\nOnce attackers obtain valid credentials, they use them to move throughout a target network with ease, discovering new systems and identifying assets of interest. Credentials obtained in this manner typically include those of privileged users, which may provide access to more sensitive information and system operations.\\\nThe detection searches in this Analytic Story monitor access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process, the usage of shadowcopies for credential dumping and some other techniques for credential dumping.",

campaign distributing DarkGate malware. This campaign utilizes stolen email threads to trick users into downloading malicious payloads via hyperlinks. An initial false link to Emotet stirred the security community, but deeper analysis confirmed its true identity as DarkGate, with characteristics like AutoIt scripts and a known command-and-control protocol. This report by Fabian Marquardt details the intricate infection mechanisms, including MSI and VBS file deliveries, sophisticated evasion techniques, and a robust configuration extraction method surpassing current standards. The single developer behind DarkGate, active on cybercrime forums, has shifted the malware's use from private to a rent-out model, implying an expected rise in its deployment. Researchers have also developed a decryption technique for the DarkGate malware, which aids in static analysis and detection, though it requires careful validation to avoid false positives.", "narrative": "Telekom Security CTi has recently put a spotlight on the proliferation of DarkGate malware via a sophisticated malspam campaign, initially mistaken for the notorious Emotet malware. The campaign smartly manipulates stolen email conversations, embedding hyperlinks that, once clicked, activate a malware download. Fabian Marquardt's analysis traces the infection's footprint, revealing a dual delivery mechanism through MSI and VBS files. These files, cloaked in legitimate wrappers or obscured with junk code, ultimately download the malware via embedded scripts. \\\nMarquardt delves into the AutoIt script-based infection, uncovering the calculated use of compiled scripts and base64-encoded data to disguise the execution of malicious shellcode. The subsequent stages of infection exhibit the malware's capability to evade detection, leveraging memory allocation techniques to bypass security measures. Marquardt also explores the loader's function, which decrypts further malicious payloads by interacting with the script's encoded components. \\\nThe analytical narrative captures a cross-section of the cybersecurity landscape, reflecting the shift in DarkGate's operational strategy from exclusive use by the developer to a broader dissemination through a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model. This transition suggests an anticipated escalation in DarkGate-related attacks. \\\nSignificantly, the report contributes to cybersecurity defenses by outlining a more effective method for extracting malware configurations, providing the community with the means to anticipate and mitigate the evolving threats posed by this pernicious malware. With the insights gained, researchers and security professionals are better equipped to adapt their strategies, constructing more robust defenses against the sophisticated tactics employed by DarkGate and similar malware strains.", "references": ["https://github.security.telekom.com/2023/08/darkgate-loader.html", "https://redcanary.com/blog/intelligence-insights-october-2023"], "tags": {"name":

Exfiltration comes in many flavors and its done differently on every environment. Adversaries can collect data over encrypted or non-encrypted channels.  They can utilise Command And Control channels that are already in place to exfiltrate data.  They can use both standard data transfer protocols such as FTP, SCP, etc to exfiltrate data.  Or they can use non-standard protocols such as DNS, ICMP, etc with specially crafted fields to try and circumvent security technologies in place.\\\nTechniques for getting data out of a target network typically include transferring it over their command and control channel or an alternate channel and may also include putting size limits on the transmission. In context of the cloud, this refers to the unauthorized transfer or extraction of sensitive data from cloud-based systems or services. It involves the compromise of cloud infrastructure or accounts to gain access to valuable information stored in the cloud environment.

Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation. Indications of lateral movement can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, pass-the-hash, or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor. An adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders. If there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented.

The agency includes phishing scams, data breaches, Denial of Service (DOS) attacks, email account compromise, malware, spoofing, and ransomware in this category.\\\nThese crimes are not the fraud itself, but rather the attack techniques commonly employed by fraudsters in their pursuit of data that enables them to commit malicious actssuch as obtaining and using stolen credit cards. They represent a serious problem that is steadily increasing and not likely to go away anytime soon.\\\nWhen developing a strategy for preventing fraud in your environment, its important to  look across all of your web services for evidence that attackers are abusing enterprise resources to enumerate systems, harvest data for secondary fraudulent activity, or abuse terms of service.This Analytic Story looks for evidence of common Internet attack techniques that could be indicative of web fraud in your environmentincluding account harvesting, anomalous user clickspeed, and password sharing across accounts, to name just a few.\\\nThe account-harvesting search focuses on web pages used for user-account registration. It detects the creation of a large number of user accounts using the same email domain name, a type of activity frequently seen in advance of a fraud campaign.\\\nThe anomalous clickspeed search looks for users who are moving through your website at a faster-than-normal speed or with a perfect click cadence (high periodicity or low standard deviation), which could indicate that the user is a script, not an actual human.\\\nAnother search detects incidents wherein a single password is used across multiple accounts, which may indicate that a fraudster has infiltrated your environment and embedded a common password within a script.", "references": ["https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-fraud-schemes/internet-fraud", "https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2017-internet-crime-report-released-050718"], "tags": {"name": "Web Fraud Detection", "analytic_story": "Web Fraud Detection", "category": ["Abuse"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Fraud Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1136", "mitre_attack_technique": "Create Account", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Indrik Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1078", "mitre_attack_technique": "Valid Accounts", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Initial Access", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT33", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "Carbanak", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN4", "FIN5", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Ke3chang", "LAPSUS$", "Lazarus Group", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "POLONIUM", "PittyTiger", "Sandworm Team", "Silence", "Silent Librarian", "Suckfly", "TEMP.Veles", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Initial Access", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Web Fraud - Account Harvesting - Rule", "ESCU - Web Fraud - Anomalous User Clickspeed - Rule", "ESCU - Web Fraud - Password Sharing Across Accounts - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Emails From Specific Sender - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Web Session Information via session id - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Jim Apger", "detections": [{"name": "Web Fraud - Account Harvesting", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Create Account"}]}}, {"name": "Web Fraud - Anomalous User Clickspeed", "source": "deprecated", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Valid Accounts"}]}}, {"name": "Web Fraud - Password Sharing Across Accounts", "source": "deprecated", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Detect Zerologon Attack", "author": "Rod Soto, Jose Hernandez, Stan Miskowicz, David Dorsey, Shannon Davis Splunk", "date": "2020-09-18", "version": 1, "id": "5d14a962-569e-4578-939f-f386feb63ce4", "description": "Uncover activity related to the execution of Zerologon CVE-2020-11472, a technique wherein attackers target a Microsoft Windows Domain Controller to reset its computer account password.

Some of the activities that adversaries used in these compromises included spearfishing attacks, malware, watering-hole domains, many and more.", "narrative": "The frequency of nation-state cyber attacks has increased significantly over the last decade. Employing numerous tactics and techniques, these attacks continue to escalate in complexity. \\\nThere is a wide range of motivations for these state-sponsored hacks, including stealing valuable corporate, military, or diplomatic data&#1151;all of which could confer advantages in various arenas. They may also target critical infrastructure. \\\nOne joint Technical Alert (TA) issued by the Department of Homeland and the FBI in mid-March of 2018 attributed some cyber activity targeting utility infrastructure to operatives sponsored by the Russian government. The hackers executed spearfishing attacks, installed malware, employed watering-hole domains, and more. While they caused no physical damage, the attacks provoked fears that a nation-state could turn off water, redirect power, or compromise a nuclear power plant.\\\nSuspicious activities--spikes in SMB traffic, processes that launch netsh (to modify the network configuration), suspicious registry modifications, and many more--may all be events you may wish to investigate further. While the use of these technique may be an indication that a nation-state actor is attempting to compromise your environment, it is important to note that these techniques are often employed by other

It has been proven to work very well for its intended function. However if DNS is misconfigured, servers can be abused by attackers to levy amplification or redirection attacks against victims. Because DNS responses to `ANY` queries are so much larger than the queries themselves--and can be made with a UDP packet, which does not require a handshake--attackers can spoof the source address of the packet and cause much more data to be sent to the victim than if they sent the traffic themselves. The `ANY` requests are will be larger than normal DNS server requests, due to the fact that the server provides significant details, such as MX records and associated IP addresses. A large volume of this traffic can result in a DOS on the victim's machine. This misconfiguration leads to two possible victims, the first being the DNS servers participating in an attack and the other being the hosts that are the targets of the DOS attack.\\\nThe search in this story can help you to detect if attackers are abusing your company's DNS infrastructure to launch DNS amplification attacks causing Denial of Service to other victims.", "references": ["https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-088A", "https://www.imperva.com/learn/application-security/dns-amplification/"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "analytic_story": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "category": ["Abuse"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1498", "mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1498.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification"}]}}]}, {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-04", "version": 1, "id": "8169f17b-ef68-4b59-aa28-586907301221", "description": "Secure your environment against DNS hijacks with searches that help you detect and investigate unauthorized changes to DNS records.", "narrative": "Dubbed the Achilles heel of the Internet (see https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/dns-is-still-the-achilles-heel-of-the-internet-25613), DNS plays a critical role in routing web traffic but is notoriously vulnerable to attack. One reason is its distributed nature. It relies on unstructured connections between millions of clients and servers over inherently insecure protocols.\\\nThe gravity and extent of the importance of securing DNS from attacks is undeniable. The fallout of compromised DNS can be disastrous. Not only can hackers bring down an entire business, they can intercept confidential information, emails, and login credentials, as well. \\\nOn January 22, 2019, the US Department of Homeland Security 2019's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) raised awareness of some high-profile DNS hijacking attacks against infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. It issued Emergency Directive 19-01 (see https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/19-01/), which summarized the activity and required government agencies to take the following four actions, all within 10 days: \\\n1. For all .gov or other agency-managed domains, audit public DNS records on all authoritative and secondary DNS servers, verify that they resolve to the intended location or report them to CISA.\\\n1. Update the passwords for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency 2019's DNS records.\\\n1. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency's 2019 DNS records or, if impossible, provide CISA with the names of systems, the reasons why MFA cannot be enabled within the required timeline, and an ETA for when it can be enabled.\\\n1. CISA will begin regular delivery of newly added certificates to Certificate Transparency (CT) logs for agency domains via the Cyber Hygiene service. Upon receipt, agencies must immediately begin monitoring CT log data for certificates issued that they did not request. If an agency confirms that a certificate was unauthorized, it must report the certificate to the issuing certificate authority and to CISA. Of course, it makes sense to put equivalent actions in place within your environment, as well. \\\nIn DNS hijacking, the attacker assumes control over an account or makes use of a DNS service exploit to make changes to DNS records. Once they gain access, attackers can substitute their own MX records, name-server records, and addresses, redirecting emails and traffic through their infrastructure, where they can read, copy, or modify information seen. They can also generate valid encryption certificates to help them avoid browser-certificate checks. In one notable attack on the Internet service provider, GoDaddy, the hackers altered Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records a relatively minor change that did not inflict excessive damage but allowed for more effective spam campaigns.\\\nThe searches in this Analytic Story help you detect and investigate activities that may indicate that DNS hijacking has taken place within your environment.", "references": ["https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/09/apt33-insights-into-iranian-cyber-espionage.html", "https://umbrella.cisco.com/blog/2013/04/15/on-the-trail-of-malicious-dynamic-dns-domains/", "http://www.noip.com/blog/2014/07/11/dynamic-dns-can-use-2/", "https://www.splunk.com/blog/2015/08/04/detecting-dynamic-dns-domains-in-splunk.html"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "analytic_story": "DNS Hijacking", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1048.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exfiltration Over Unencrypted Non-C2 Protocol", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Exfiltration"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT33", "FIN6", "FIN8", "Lazarus Group", "OilRig", "Thrip", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1071.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "DNS", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT39", "APT41", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "FIN7", "Ke3chang", "LazyScripter", "OilRig", "Tropic Trooper"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1568.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Domain Generation Algorithms", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "TA551"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1189", "mitre_attack_technique": "Drive-by Compromise", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Andariel", "Axiom", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Elderwood", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Leviathan", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "PLATINUM", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "RTM", "Threat Group-3390", "Transparent Tribe", "Turla", "Windigo", "Windshift"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control", "Exfiltration", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives", "Command and Control", "Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Apache's AJP protocol vulnerability, designated CVE-2022-26377, relates to AJP request smuggling. Successful exploitation enables unauthorized system activities. F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition exhibited a distinct vulnerability, an authentication bypass in the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), resulting in system compromise. Assigned CVE-2023-46747, this vulnerability also arose from request smuggling, bearing similarity to CVE-2022-26377. Given the wide adoption of both Apache Tomcat and F5 products, these vulnerabilities present grave risks to organizations. Remediation and vulnerability detection mechanisms are essential to address these threats effectively.", "narrative": "Both Apache Tomcat's AJP protocol and F5's BIG-IP Virtual Edition have been exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Apache's CVE-2022-26377 pertains to request smuggling by manipulating the \"Transfer-Encoding\" header. If successfully exploited, this allows attackers to bypass security controls and undertake unauthorized actions. \\\nSimilarly, F5 BIG-IP unveiled an authentication bypass vulnerability, CVE-2023-46747. Originating from the TMUI, this vulnerability leads to full system compromise. While distinct, it shares characteristics with Apache's vulnerability, primarily rooted in request smuggling. This vulnerability drew from past F5 CVEs, particularly CVE-2020-5902 and CVE-2022-1388, both previously exploited in real-world scenarios. These highlighted vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP and Apache Tomcat services, as well as authentication flaws in the F5 BIG-IP API.\\\nNuclei detection templates offer a proactive solution for identifying and mitigating these vulnerabilities. Integrated into vulnerability management frameworks, these templates notify organizations of potential risks, forming a base for further detection strategies. For detection engineers, understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial. Recognizing the mechanisms and effects of request smuggling, especially in Apache's and F5's context, provides a roadmap to effective detection and response.

China, targeting Taiwanese organizations for espionage. The group maintains long-term access to networks with minimal use of malware, relying on built-in OS tools and benign software. The group's activities are primarily focused on Taiwan, but the techniques used could be easily reused in other operations outside the region. Microsoft has not observed Flax Typhoon using this access to conduct additional actions.", "narrative": "Flax Typhoon has been active since mid-2021, targeting government agencies, education, critical manufacturing, and IT organizations in Taiwan. The group uses the China Chopper web shell, Metasploit, Juicy Potato privilege escalation tool, Mimikatz, and SoftEther VPN client. However, they primarily rely on living-off-the-land techniques and hands-on-keyboard activity. Initial access is achieved by exploiting known vulnerabilities in public-facing servers and deploying web shells. Following initial access, Flax Typhoon uses command-line tools to establish persistent access over the remote desktop protocol, deploy a VPN connection to actor-controlled network infrastructure, and collect credentials from compromised systems. The group also uses this VPN access to scan for vulnerabilities on targeted systems and organizations from the compromised systems.", "references":

Simultaneously, Zscaler's \"Steal-It\" campaign pinpointed similar tactics, specifically targeting NTLMv2 hashes. This campaign used ZIP archives containing LNK files to exfiltrate data via Mockbin.

patches for its mail server, Microsoft Exchange. These patches respond to a group of vulnerabilities known to impact Exchange 2013, 2016, and 2019. It is important to note that an Exchange 2010 security update has also been issued, though the CVEs do not reference that version as being vulnerable.\\\nWhile the CVEs do not shed much light on the specifics of the vulnerabilities or exploits, the first vulnerability (CVE-2021-26855) has a remote network attack vector that allows the attacker, a group Microsoft named HAFNIUM, to authenticate as the Exchange server. Three additional vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, and CVE-2021-27065) were also identified as part of this activity. When chained together along with CVE-2021-26855 for initial access, the attacker would have complete control over the Exchange server. This includes the ability to run code as SYSTEM and write to any path on the server.\\\nThe following Splunk detections assist with identifying the HAFNIUM groups tradecraft and methodology.",

hidden shares and file writes, that may be evidence of infiltration by North Korean government-sponsored cybercriminals. Details of this activity were reported in DHS Report TA-18-149A.", "narrative": "North Korea's government-sponsored \"cyber army\" has been slowly building momentum and gaining sophistication over the last 15 years or so. As a result, the group's activity, which the US government refers to as \"Hidden Cobra,\" has surreptitiously crept onto the collective radar as a preeminent global threat.\\\nThese state-sponsored actors are thought to be responsible for everything from a hack on a South Korean nuclear plant to an attack on Sony in anticipation of its release of the movie \"The Interview\" at the end of 2014. They're also notorious for cyberespionage. In recent years, the group seems to be focused on financial crimes, such as cryptojacking.\\\nIn June of 2018, The Department of Homeland Security, together with the FBI and other U.S. government partners, issued Technical Alert (TA-18-149A) to advise the public about two variants of North Korean malware. One variant, dubbed \"Joanap,\" is a multi-stage peer-to-peer botnet that allows North Korean state actors to exfiltrate data, download and execute secondary payloads, and initialize proxy communications. The other variant, \"Brambul,\" is a Windows32 SMB worm that is dropped into a victim network. When executed, the malware attempts to spread laterally within a victim's local subnet, connecting via the SMB protocol and initiating brute-force password attacks. It reports details to the Hidden Cobra actors via email, so they can use the information for secondary remote operations.\\\nAmong other searches in this Analytic Story is a detection search that looks for the creation or deletion of hidden shares, such as, \"adnim$,\" which the Hidden Cobra malware creates on the target system. Another looks for the creation of three malicious files associated with the malware. You can also use a search in this story to investigate activity that indicates that malware is sending email back to the attackers.", "references":

For example, Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extensions and filters can be installed to examine and/or modify incoming and outgoing IIS web requests. Extensions and filters are deployed as DLL files that export three functions - Get{Extension/Filter}Version, Http{Extension/Filter}Proc, and (optionally) Terminate{Extension/Filter}. IIS modules may also be installed to extend IIS web servers.\\\nAdversaries may install malicious ISAPI extensions and filters to observe and/or modify traffic, execute commands on compromised machines, or proxy command and control traffic. ISAPI extensions and filters may have access to all IIS web requests and responses. For example, an adversary may abuse these mechanisms to modify HTTP responses in order to distribute malicious commands/content to previously comprised hosts.\\\nAdversaries may also install malicious IIS modules to observe and/or modify traffic. IIS 7.0 introduced modules that provide the same unrestricted access to HTTP requests and responses as ISAPI extensions and filters. IIS modules can be written as a DLL that exports RegisterModule, or as a .NET application that interfaces with ASP.NET APIs to access IIS HTTP requests.

A recent update concerning CVE-2023-35082, closely related to CVE-2023-35078, reveals its impact on more versions of Ivanti's software than initially believed. The former allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive data, modify servers, and access the API, potentially leading to data breaches or malicious system modifications. Meanwhile, CVE-2023-35081 lets authenticated administrators remotely write arbitrary files to the server. Both vulnerabilities have been exploited in targeted attacks against government ministries and could be used in conjunction. With the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of broader exploitation has increased. While initially leveraged in limited attacks, the exploitation is expected to rise, possibly involving state-sponsored actors. Organizations are urged to apply immediate patches and conduct regular system assessments to ensure security.", "narrative": "Ivantis Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) product, formerly known as MobileIron Core and extensively utilized by IT teams to manage mobile devices, applications, and content, has been found to harbor several critical vulnerabilities. Specifically, CVE-2023-35078 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive data and make changes to servers. This flaw has been leveraged in targeted attacks against Norwegian government ministries. In addition, CVE-2023-35081 permits an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to remotely write arbitrary files to the server. \\\nRecently, attention has shifted to CVE-2023-35082, which was initially believed to affect only MobileIron Core 11.2 and below. Subsequent investigations revealed its wider influence, affecting EPMM versions 11.10, 11.9, 11.8, and MobileIron Core 11.7 and earlier. This vulnerability facilitates unauthorized access to the API via the URI path /mifs/asfV3/api/v2/. \\\nWhen combined, these vulnerabilities can be exploited to bypass administrative authentication and access control list (ACL) restrictions, leading to malicious file writing and potential OS command execution. Both have been actively exploited, possibly by state-sponsored actors, prompting urgent advisories from Ivanti and Rapid7, alongside CISA. Given the thousands of potentially vulnerable internet-exposed systems and the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of extensive exploitation escalates.

It affects all supported versions, including 9.18, 9.17, and 9.16, as well as older versions. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to access the System Manager Portal (typically hosted on port 8443) and make configuration changes, potentially executing OS commands as root. However, the risk is low for users who haven't exposed port 8443 online. This flaw is distinct from other Ivanti products.

The vulnerability was identified shortly after another notable vulnerability in Ivanti EPMM (CVE-2023-35078) was discovered being exploited in the wild. The current vulnerability allows a malicious actor, without requiring authentication, to access the System Manager Portal, typically hosted on port 8443. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker can make configuration alterations to both the Sentry system and its underlying OS. The potential damage is significant, enabling the attacker to execute commands on the system with root privileges. \\\nWhile this vulnerability scored high on the CVSS scale, its risk is relatively mitigated for clients who have not exposed port 8443 to the internet. The primary exploitation vector is the System Manager Portal, an administrative interface for Sentry. \\\nAs of now, definitive indicators of compromise (IoCs) are elusive. However, any unexpected HTTP requests to the endpoint /services/* could be a red flag. It's worth noting that the exploited endpoint might not be the sole vulnerable point, suggesting other potential gateways for attackers. Ivanti Sentry's system doesn't provide a typical Unix shell, but in the event of a known system breach, the /var/log/tomcat2/ directory contains access logs that may reveal accessed endpoints.

These searches help detect evidence of these attacks, such as network connections to external resources or web services spawning atypical child processes, among others.", "narrative": "This Analytic Story looks for probing and exploitation attempts targeting JBoss application servers. While the vulnerabilities associated with this story are rather dated, they were leveraged in a spring 2016 campaign in connection with the Samsam ransomware variant. Incidents involving this ransomware are unique, in that they begin with attacks against vulnerable services, rather than the phishing or drive-by attacks more common with ransomware. In this case, vulnerable JBoss applications appear to be the target of choice.\\\nIt is helpful to understand how often a notable event generated by this story occurs, as well as the commonalities between some of these events, both of which may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It may also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or whether it is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior uncovered by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to identify other recent events involving the target. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target host.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and, potentially, collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. This data may be useful for generating your own threat intelligence, so you can create future alerts.\\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin\\\n1. Responsible party\\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address\\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address Determining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you qualify and understand the event and possible motivation for the attack. In addition, there are various sources that may provide reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist you in determining whether the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or expose other historic events that might be brought back into scope.\\\nGathering various data on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have logged into the system recently, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and/or whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version, to help determine whether it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nIf you suspect an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIf a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that opened the file, the processes that may have created and/or modified the file, and how many other systems potentially have this file can you determine whether the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes help you quickly determine if it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if svchost.exe is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. \\\nIt can also be helpful to examine various behaviors of and the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see whether the parent process spawned other processes that might also warrant further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made around the time of the event and noting whether the process has spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["http://www.deependresearch.org/2016/04/jboss-exploits-view-from-victim.html"], "tags": {"name": "JBoss Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "JBoss Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery", "Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers - Rule", "ESCU - Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}]}}, {"name": "Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Jenkins Server Vulnerabilities", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2024-01-29", "version": 1, "id": "789e76e6-4b5e-4af3-ab8c-46578d84ccff", "description": "This analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.", "narrative": "The following analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.

Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication. Attackers may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes API, misconfigured containers, or insecure network policies. The control plane, responsible for managing cluster operations, is a prime target. Compromising this can give attackers control over the entire cluster. Worker nodes, running the containerized applications, can be targeted to disrupt services or to gain access to sensitive data. Common attack vectors include exploiting vulnerabilities in container images, misconfigured role-based access controls (RBAC), exposed Kubernetes dashboards, and insecure network configurations. Attackers can also target the supply chain, injecting malicious code into container images or Helm charts. To mitigate these threats, it is essential to enforce robust security practices such as regular vulnerability scanning, implementing least privilege access, securing the control plane, network segmentation, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities. Tools like Kubernetes Network Policies, Pod Security Policies, and third-party security solutions can provide additional layers of defense.", "references": ["https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/"], "tags": {"name": "Kubernetes Security", "analytic_story": "Kubernetes Security", "category": ["Cloud Security"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1552.007", "mitre_attack_technique": "Container API", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1046", "mitre_attack_technique": "Network Service Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT39", "APT41", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "DarkVishnya", "FIN13", "FIN6", "Fox Kitten", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Magic Hound", "Naikon", "OilRig", "Rocke", "Suckfly", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1204", "mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["LAPSUS$"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1053.007", "mitre_attack_technique": "Container Orchestration Job", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1526", "mitre_attack_technique": "Cloud Service Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Discovery", "Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

blog post titled `Using Kerberos for Authentication Relay Attacks`. This research introduced, for the first time, ways to make Windows authenticate to a different Service Principal Name (SPN) than what would normally be derived from the hostname the client is connecting to. This effectively proved that relaying Kerberos authentication is possible\\\\.

utilities and tools that come standard on the endpoint--such as PowerShell--to achieve their goals without downloading binary files. These searches can help you detect and investigate PowerShell command-line options that may be indicative of malicious intent.", "narrative": "The searches in this Analytic Story monitor for parameters often used for malicious purposes. It is helpful to understand how often the notable events generated by this story occur, as well as the commonalities between some of these events. These factors may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. Likewise, it is important to determine whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or is broader in scope. \\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin \\\n1. Responsible party \\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address \\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address \\\nDetermining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you answer some questions surrounding the attacker and details related to the external system. In addition, there are various sources--such as VirusTotal&#151; that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining whether the event is malicious. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or show other events that should be brought into scope. \\\nGathering data on the system of interest can sometimes help you quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include finding out who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted. \\\nOften, a simple inspection of the process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when cursorily reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, that could be indicative of activity initiated via a compromised website a user visited. \\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made in and around the time of the event and/or whether the process spawned any child processes could be helpful, as well. \\\nIn the event a system is suspected of having been compromised via a malicious website, we suggest reviewing the browsing activity from that system around the time of the event. If categories are given for the URLs visited, that can help you zero in on possible malicious sites. \\\nMost recently we have added new content related to PowerShell Script Block logging, Windows EventCode 4104. Script block logging presents the deobfuscated and raw script executed on an endpoint. The analytics produced were tested against commonly used attack frameworks - PowerShell-Empire, Cobalt Strike and Covenant. In addition, we sampled publicly available samples that utilize PowerShell and validated coverage. The analytics are here to identify suspicious usage, cmdlets, or script values. 4104 events are enabled via the Windows registry and may generate a large volume of data if enabled globally. Enabling on critical systems or a limited set may be best. During triage of 4104 events, review parallel processes for other processes and command executed. Identify any file modifications and network communication and review accordingly. Fortunately, we get the full script to determine the level of threat identified.", "references": ["https://blogs.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/malware-employs-powershell-to-infect-systems/",

If file names are mismatched between the file name on disk and that of the binarys PE metadata, this is a likely indicator that a binary was renamed after it was compiled. Collecting and comparing disk and resource filenames for binaries by looking to see if the InternalName, OriginalFilename, and or ProductName match what is expected could provide useful leads, but may not always be indicative of malicious activity. Do not focus on the possible names a file could have, but instead on the command-line arguments that are known to be used and are distinct because it will have a better rate of detection.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1036/003/"], "tags": {"name": "Masquerading -

Because it is an open-source framework, it can be easily customized and used with most operating systems.\\\nThe Metasploit Project was undertaken in 2003 by H.D. Moore for use as a Perl-based portable network tool, with assistance from core developer Matt Miller. It was fully converted to Ruby by 2007, and the license was acquired by Rapid7 in 2009, where it remains as part of the Boston-based company repertoire of IDS signature development and targeted remote exploit, fuzzing, anti-forensic, and evasion tools.\\\nPortions of these other tools reside within the Metasploit framework, which is built into the Kali Linux OS. Rapid7 has also developed two proprietary OpenCore tools, Metasploit Pro, Metasploit Express.\\\nThis framework has become the go-to exploit development and mitigation tool. Prior to Metasploit, pen testers had to perform all probes manually by using a variety of tools that may or may not have supported the platform they were testing, writing their own code by hand, and introducing it onto networks manually. Remote testing was virtually unheard of, and that limited a security specialist reach to the local area and companies spending a fortune on in-house IT or security consultants. (ref.

Meterpreter is a Metasploit payload for remote execution that leverages DLL injection to make it extremely difficult to detect.  Since the software runs in memory, no new processes are created upon injection.  It also leverages encrypted communication channels.\\\nMeterpreter enables the operator to remotely run commands on the target machine, upload payloads, download files, dump password hashes, and much more.  It is difficult to determine from the forensic evidence what actions the operator performed.

MSHTML is a software component used to render web pages on Windows. Although it is 2019s most commonly associated with Internet Explorer, it is also used in other software.  CVE-2021-40444 received a CVSS score of 8.8 out of 10. MSHTML is the beating heart of Internet Explorer, the vulnerability also exists in that browser. Although given its limited use, there is little risk of infection by that vector. Microsoft Office applications use the MSHTML component to display web content in Office documents. The attack depends on MSHTML loading a specially crafted ActiveX control when the target opens a malicious Office document. The loaded ActiveX control can then run arbitrary code to infect the system with more malware. At the moment all supported Windows versions are vulnerable. Since there is no patch available yet, Microsoft proposes a few methods to block these attacks. \\\n1. Disable the installation of all ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer via the registry. Previously-installed ActiveX controls will still run, but no new ones will be added, including malicious ones. Open documents from the Internet in Protected View or Application Guard for Office, both of which prevent the current attack. This is a default setting but it may have been changed.", "references": ["https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/09/windows-mshtml-zero-day-actively-exploited-mitigations-required/", "https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-40444", "https://www.echotrail.io/insights/search/control.exe"], "tags": {"name": "Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution CVE-2021-40444", "analytic_story": "Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution CVE-2021-40444", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1218", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Binary Proxy Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Lazarus Group"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1218.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Control Panel", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Ember Bear"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1566", "mitre_attack_technique": "Phishing", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Axiom", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1566.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Spearphishing Attachment", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT1", "APT12", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT30", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Ajax Security Team", "Andariel", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "BlackTech", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "DarkHydrus", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "EXOTIC LILY", "Elderwood", "Ember Bear", "FIN4", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Ferocious Kitten", "Gallmaker", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "IndigoZebra", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "Machete", "Mofang", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "Patchwork", "RTM", "Rancor", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TA459", "TA505", "TA551", "The White Company", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Transparent Tribe", "Tropic Trooper", "WIRTE", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "admin@338", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1218.011", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rundll32", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT38", "APT41", "Blue Mockingbird", "Carbanak", "CopyKittens", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Magic Hound", "MuddyWater", "Sandworm Team", "TA505", "TA551", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

This software, developed by Progress Software Corporation, a US-based company and its subsidiary Ipswitch, is a managed file transfer solution. It is used by thousands of organizations worldwide, including Chase, Disney, GEICO, and MLB, and by 3.5 million developers. The software allows for secure file transfers between business partners and customers using SFTP, SCP, and HTTP-based uploads.\\\nThe zero-day vulnerability has been exploited to steal data on a large scale from various organizations. The identity of the threat actors and the exact timeline of the exploitation remains unclear.

They suggested blocking external traffic to ports 80 and 445 on the MOVEit server and checking the c:\\MOVEitTransfer\\wwwroot\\ folder for unexpected files, including backups or large file downloads.\\\nBlocking these ports will prevent external access to the web UI, prevent some MOVEit Automation tasks from working, block APIs, and prevent the Outlook MOVEit plugin from working. However, SFTP and FTP/s protocols can continue to be used for file transfers.\\\nThere is currently no detailed information about the zero-day vulnerability. But based on the ports blocked and the specific location to check for unusual files, the flaw is likely a web-facing vulnerability.\\\nWhile Progress has officially confirmed that the vulnerability is being actively exploited, it is clear from several reports that multiple organizations have already had data stolen using this zero-day vulnerability. The exploitation appears very similar to the mass exploitation of a GoAnywhere MFT zero-day in January 2023 and the December 2020 zero-day exploitation of Accellion FTA servers.

Blizzard, is a sophisticated nation-state threat actor, reportedly associated with Russian intelligence. Active since at least 2008, this group primarily targets government networks in Europe and NATO member countries, along with research institutes and think tanks. Their operations typically involve advanced persistent threats (APT), leveraging techniques like spear-phishing, malware deployment, and long-term network compromise to achieve information theft and espionage. Notably, APT29 has been implicated in significant cyber espionage incidents, including the 2015 breach of the Pentagon's Joint Staff email system and attacks on the Democratic National Committee in 2016. Their advanced tactics and persistent approach underscore the serious nature of threats posed by this group to global cybersecurity.", "narrative": "This Analytic Story groups detections designed to

Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed a malicious certificate or for an application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address in a certificate to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the . character (decimal 46) on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service). In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests client authentication and a malicious client connects. Users of OpenSSL 3.0.0 - 3.0.6 are encouraged to upgrade to 3.0.7 as soon as possible. If you obtain your copy of OpenSSL from your Operating System vendor or other third party then you should seek to obtain an updated version from them as soon as possible.

This malware provides the attackers with remote access to the target system, decrypting and extracting a copy of its main DLL payload from its resource section. Before writing the payload to disk, it inserts a randomly generated string into the middle of the decrypted payload in an attempt to evade hash-based detections.\\\nAwareness of the Orangeworm group first surfaced in January, 2015. It has conducted targeted attacks against related industries, as well, such as pharmaceuticals and healthcare IT solution providers.\\\nHealthcare may be a promising target, because it is notoriously behind in technology, often using older operating systems and neglecting to patch computers. Even so, the group was able to evade detection for a full three years.

Customers using these older versions are advised to purchase an updated license online for PaperCut NG or through their PaperCut Partner for PaperCut MF. For users with a currently supported version (version 20 or later), they can upgrade to any maintenance release version they are licensed for.\\ If upgrading to a security patch is not possible, there are alternative options to enhance security. Users can lock down network access to their server(s) by blocking all inbound traffic from external IPs to the web management port (port 9191 and 9192 by default) and blocking all inbound traffic to the web management portal on the firewall to the server. Additionally, users can apply \"Allow list\" restrictions under Options > Advanced > Security > Allowed site server IP addresses, setting this to only allow the IP addresses of verified Site Servers on their network.\\\nThe vulnerabilities CVE-2023-27350 and CVE-2023-27351 have CVSS scores of 9.8 (Critical) and 8.2 (High), respectively. PaperCut and its partner network have activated response teams to assist PaperCut MF and NG customers, with service desks available 24/7 via their support page. The security response team at PaperCut has been working with external security advisors to compile a list of unpatched PaperCut MF/NG servers that have ports open on the public internet. They have been proactively reaching out to potentially exposed customers since Wednesday afternoon (AEST) and are working around the clock through the weekend.\\\nThe exploit was first detected in the wild on April 18th, 2023, at 03:30 AEST / April 17th, 2023, at 17:30 UTC. The earliest signature of suspicious activity on a customer server potentially linked to this vulnerability dates back to April 14th, 2023, at 01:29 AEST / April 13th, 2023, at 15:29 UTC.\\\nApplying the security fixes should not have any negative impact. Users can follow their usual upgrade procedure to obtain the upgrade. Additional links on the -Check for updates- page (accessed through the Admin interface > About > Version info > Check for updates) allow customers to download fixes for previous major versions that are still supported (e.g., 20.1.7 and 21.2.11) as well as the current version available.

for suspicious behaviors that resemble the techniques employed by the MUDCARP threat group.", "narrative": "This story was created as a joint effort between iDefense and Splunk.\\\niDefense analysts have recently discovered a Windows executable file that, upon execution, spoofs a decryption tool and then drops a file that appears to be the custom-built javascript backdoor, \"Orz,\" which is associated with the threat actors known as MUDCARP (as well as \"temp.Periscope\" and \"Leviathan\"). The file is executed using Wscript.\\\nThe MUDCARP techniques include the use of the compressed-folders module from Microsoft, zipfldr.dll, with RouteTheCall export to run the malicious process or command. After a successful reboot, the malware is made persistent by a manipulating `[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run]'help'='c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\rundll32.exe c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall c:\\\\programdata\\\\winapp.exe'`. Though this technique is not exclusive to MUDCARP, it has been spotted in the group's arsenal of advanced techniques seen in the wild.\\\nThis Analytic Story searches for evidence of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that allow for the use of a endpoint detection-and-response (EDR) bypass technique to mask the true parent of a malicious process. It can also be set as a registry key for further sandbox evasion and to allow the malware to launch only after reboot.\\\nIf behavioral searches included in this story yield positive hits, iDefense recommends conducting IOC searches for the following:\\\n\\\n1. www.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. about.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autoconfig.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autodiscover.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. catalog.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. cpanel.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. db.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. ftp.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. mail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. news.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. update.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. webmail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. www.candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. newapp.freshasianews[.]comIn addition, iDefense also recommends that organizations review their environments for activity related to the following hashes:\\\n\\\n1. cd195ee448a3657b5c2c2d13e9c7a2e2\\\n1. b43ad826fe6928245d3c02b648296b43\\\n1. 889a9b52566448231f112a5ce9b5dfaf\\\n1. b8ec65dab97cdef3cd256cc4753f0c54\\\n1. 04d83cd3813698de28cfbba326d7647c", "references": ["https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/scope-of-mudcarp-attacks-highlight-1/", "http://blog.amossys.fr/badflick-is-not-so-bad.html"], "tags": {"name": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "analytic_story": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "PowerShell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "CopyKittens", "DarkHydrus", "DarkVishnya", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Gallmaker", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Indrik Spider", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MoustachedBouncer", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Poseidon Group", "Sandworm Team", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TA459", "TA505", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Thrip", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "WIRTE", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Windows Command Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT1", "APT18", "APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "Higaisa", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Silence", "Sowbug", "Suckfly", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-1314", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059", "mitre_attack_technique": "Command and Scripting Interpreter", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT32", "APT37", "APT39", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "Ke3chang", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Whitefly", "Windigo"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547", "mitre_attack_technique": "Boot or Logon Autostart Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

MITRE ATT&CK).", "narrative": "QakBot notably has made its way on the CISA top malware list for 2021. QakBot for years has been under continious improvement when it comes to initial access, injection and post-exploitation. Multiple adversaries use QakBot to gain initial access and persist, most notably TA551. The actor(s) behind QakBot possess a modular framework consisting of maldoc builders, signed loaders, and DLLs that produce initially low detection rates at the beginning of the attack, which creates opportunities to deliver additional malware such as Egregor and Cobalt Strike. (ref. Cybersecurity ATT) The more recent campaigns utilize HTML smuggling to deliver a ISO container that has a LNK and QakBot payload. QakBot will either load via regsvr32.exe directly, it will attempt to perform DLL sideloading.", "references":

hostage until the victim pays the attacker a ransom. There are many types and varieties of ransomware that can affect an enterprise. Attackers can deploy ransomware to enterprises through spearphishing campaigns and driveby downloads, as well as through traditional remote service-based exploitation. In the case of the WannaCry campaign, there was self-propagating wormable functionality that was used to maximize infection. Fortunately, organizations can apply several techniques--such as those in this Analytic Story--to detect and or mitigate the effects of ransomware.", "references":

Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare and Public Health Sector. This alert details TTPs associated with ongoing and possible imminent attacks against the Healthcare sector, and is a joint advisory in coordination with other U.S. Government agencies. The objective of these malicious campaigns is to infiltrate targets in named sectors and to drop ransomware payloads, which will likely cause disruption of service and increase risk of actual harm to the health and safety of patients at hospitals, even with the aggravant of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This document specifically refers to several crimeware exploitation frameworks, emphasizing the use of Ryuk ransomware as payload. The Ryuk ransomware payload is not new. It has been well documented and identified in multiple variants. Payloads need a carrier, and for Ryuk it has often been exploitation frameworks such as Cobalt Strike, or popular crimeware frameworks such as Emotet or Trickbot.", "references":

The malicious software has affected and continues to affect thousands of victims and has raised almost $6M in ransom.\\\nAlthough categorized under the heading of ransomware, SamSam campaigns have some importance distinguishing characteristics. Most notable is the fact that conventional ransomware is a numbers game. Perpetrators use a \"spray-and-pray\" approach with phishing campaigns or other mechanisms, charging a small ransom (typically under $1,000). The goal is to find a large number of victims willing to pay these mini-ransoms, adding up to a lucrative payday. They use relatively simple methods for infecting systems.\\\nSamSam attacks are different beasts. They have become progressively more targeted and skillful than typical ransomware attacks. First, malicious actors break into a victim's network, surveil it, then run the malware manually. The attacks are tailored to cause maximum damage and the threat actors usually demand amounts in the tens of thousands of dollars.\\\nIn a typical attack on one large healthcare organization in 2018, the company ended up paying a ransom of four Bitcoins, then worth $56,707. Reports showed that access to the company's files was restored within two hours of paying the sum.\\\nAccording to Sophos, SamSam previously leveraged  RDP to gain access to targeted networks via brute force. SamSam is not spread automatically, like other malware. It requires skill because it forces the attacker to adapt their tactics to the individual environment. Next, the actors escalate their privileges to admin level. They scan the networks for worthy targets, using conventional tools, such as PsExec or PaExec, to deploy/execute, quickly encrypting files.\\\nThis Analytic Story includes searches designed to help detect and investigate signs of the SamSam ransomware, such as the creation of fileswrites to system32, writes with tell-tale extensions, batch files written to system32, and evidence of brute-force attacks via RDP.", "references": ["https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/an-in-depth-analysis-of-samsam-ransomware-and-boss-spider/",

technique T1053 refers to Scheduled Task/Job. Adversaries might use task scheduling utilities to execute programs or scripts at a predefined date and time. This method is often used for persistence but can also be used for privilege escalation or to execute tasks under certain conditions. Scheduling tasks can be beneficial for an attacker as it can allow them to execute actions at times when the system is less likely to be monitored actively. Different operating systems have different utilities for task scheduling, for example, Unix-like systems have Cron, while Windows has Scheduled Tasks and At Jobs.", "narrative": "MITRE ATT&CK technique T1053, labeled \"Scheduled Task/Job\", is a categorization of methods that adversaries use to execute malicious code by scheduling tasks or jobs on a system. This technique is widely utilized for persistence, privilege escalation, and the remote execution of tasks. The technique is applicable across various environments and platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.\\\nThe technique consists of multiple sub-techniques, each highlighting a distinct mechanism for scheduling tasks or jobs. These sub-techniques include T1053.001 (Scheduled Task), T1053.002 (At for Windows), T1053.003 (Cron), T1053.004 (Launchd), T1053.005 (At for Linux), and T1053.006 (Systemd Timers).\\\nScheduled Task (T1053.001) focuses on adversaries' methods for scheduling tasks on a Windows system to maintain persistence or escalate privileges. These tasks can be set to execute at specified times, in response to particular events, or after a defined time interval.\\\nThe At command for Windows (T1053.002) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Windows system. Adversaries may exploit this command to execute programs at system startup or at a predetermined schedule for persistence.\\\nCron (T1053.003) is a built-in job scheduler found in Unix-like operating systems. Adversaries can use cron jobs to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nLaunchd (T1053.004) is a service management framework present in macOS. Adversaries may utilize launchd to maintain persistence on macOS systems by setting up daemons or agents to execute at specific times or in response to defined events.\\\nThe At command for Linux (T1053.005) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Linux system. Adversaries can use this command to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nSystemd Timers (T1053.006) offer a means of scheduling tasks on Linux systems using systemd. Adversaries can use systemd timers to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nDetection and mitigation strategies vary for each sub-technique. For instance, monitoring the creation of scheduled tasks or looking for uncorrelated changes to tasks that do not align with known software or patch cycles can be effective for detecting malicious activity related to this technique. Mitigation strategies may involve restricting permissions and applying application control solutions to prevent adversaries from scheduling tasks.", "references":

To conduct operations using this tool, the FSB created a covert peer-to-peer (P2P) network of numerous Snake-infected computers worldwide. Many systems in this P2P network serve as relay nodes which route disguised operational traffic to and from Snake implants on the FSB's ultimate targets. Snake's custom communications protocols employ encryption and fragmentation for confidentiality and are designed to hamper detection and collection efforts. We consider Snake to be the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool in the FSB's arsenal. The sophistication of Snake stems from three principal areas. First, Snake employs means to achieve a rare level of stealth in its host components and network communications. Second, Snake's internal technical architecture allows for easy incorporation of new or replacement components. This design also facilitates the development and interoperability of Snake instances running on different host operating systems. We have observed interoperable Snake implants for Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Lastly, Snake demonstrates careful software engineering design and implementation, with the implant containing surprisingly few bugs given its complexity.

Active Directory is a centralized and hierarchical database that stores information about users, computers, and other resources on a network. It provides secure and efficient management of these resources and enables administrators to enforce security policies and delegate administrative tasks.\\\nIn 2015 Active Directory security researcher Sean Metcalf published a blog post titled `Sneaky Active Directory Persistence Tricks`. In this blog post, Sean described several methods through which an attacker could persist administrative access on an Active Directory network after having Domain Admin level rights for a short period of time. At the time of writing, 8 years after the initial blog post, most of these techniques are still possible since they abuse legitimate administrative functionality and not software vulnerabilities. Security engineers defending Active Directory networks should be aware of these technique available to adversaries post exploitation and deploy both preventive and detective security controls for them.\\\nThis analytic story groups detection opportunities for most of the techniques described on Seans blog post as well as other high impact attacks against Active Directory networks and Domain Controllers like DCSync and DCShadow. For some of these detection opportunities, it is necessary to enable the necessary GPOs and SACLs required, otherwise the event codes will not trigger.

simplicity, phishing remains the most pervasive and dangerous cyberthreat. In fact, research shows that as many as [91% of all successful attacks](https://digitalguardian.com/blog/91-percent-cyber-attacks-start-phishing-email-heres-how-protect-against-phishing) are initiated via a phishing email. \\\nAs most people know, these emails use fraudulent domains, [email scraping](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), familiar contact names inserted as senders, and other tactics to lure targets into clicking a malicious link, opening an attachment with a [nefarious payload](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), or entering sensitive personal information that perpetrators may intercept. This attack technique requires a relatively low level of skill and allows adversaries to easily cast a wide net. Worse, because its success relies on the gullibility of humans, it's impossible to completely \"automate\" it out of your environment.

An example is Microsoft Office files. Most corporate users are familiar with documents with the following suffixes: .doc/.docx (MS Word), .xls/.xlsx (MS Excel), and .ppt/.pptx (MS PowerPoint), so they may click without a second thought, slashing a hole in their organizations' security. \\\nFollowing is a typical series of events, according to an [article by Trend Micro](https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/rising-trend-attackers-using-lnk-files-download-malware/):\\\n1.

This technique involves modifying the Dll and FuncName Registry values that point to the dynamic link library (DLL) providing a SIP's function, which retrieves an encoded digital certificate from a signed file. By pointing to a maliciously-crafted DLL with an exported function that always returns a known good signature value, an adversary can apply an acceptable signature value to all files using that SIP. This can also enable persistent code execution, since these malicious components may be invoked by any application that performs code signing or signature validation.", "narrative": "In user mode, Windows Authenticode digital signatures are used to verify a file's origin and integrity, variables that may be used to establish trust in signed code. The signature validation process is handled via the WinVerifyTrust application programming interface (API) function, which accepts an inquiry and coordinates with the appropriate trust provider, which is responsible for validating parameters of a signature. Because of the varying executable file types and corresponding signature formats, Microsoft created software components called Subject Interface Packages (SIPs) to provide a layer of abstraction between API functions and files. SIPs are responsible for enabling API functions to create, retrieve, calculate, and verify signatures. Unique SIPs exist for most file formats and are identified by globally unique identifiers (GUIDs).

Text4shell, similar to the old Spring4Shell and Log4Shell, was originally reported by Alvaro Munoz on the very popular Apache Commons Text library.", "narrative": "Apache Commons Text is a Java library described as \"a library focused on algorithms working on strings.\" We can see it as a general-purpose text manipulation toolkit. This vulnerability affects the StringSubstitutor interpolator class, which is included in the Commons Text library. A default interpolator allows for string lookups that can lead to Remote Code Execution. This is due to a logic flaw that makes the \"script,\" \"dns,\" and \"url\" lookup keys interpolated by default, as opposed to what it should be, according to the documentation of the StringLookupFactory class. Those keys allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via lookups. In order to exploit the vulnerabilities, the following requirements must be met - Run a version of Apache Commons Text from version 1.5 to 1.9 and use the StringSubstitutor interpolator. It is important to specify that the StringSubstitutor interpolator is not as widely used as the string substitution in Log4j, which led to Log4Shell. According to the CVSSv3 system, it scores 9.8 as CRITICAL severity. The severity is Critical due to the easy exploitability and huge potential impact in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As we showed in the previous section, you can take full control over the vulnerable system with a crafted request. However, it is not likely the vulnerabilities will have the same impacts as the previous Log4Shell and Spring4Shell.", "references": ["https://sysdig.com/blog/cve-2022-42889-text4shell/"], "tags":

This software is widely used for intelligent operations management across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, so a vulnerability in it poses a significant risk to many organizations.\\\nThis particular vulnerability lies in the application's Apache Thrift RPC interface. The exploit allows an attacker to inject commands that are executed with root privileges, leading to a potential total compromise of the system. The attacker does not need to be authenticated, which further increases the risk posed by this vulnerability.\\\nThe exploit operates by sending a specially crafted payload to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint. This payload contains a reverse shell command, which, when executed, allows the attacker to remotely control the victim's system. This control is obtained at the root level, providing the attacker with the ability to perform any action on the system.\\\nWhat makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous is its high severity score of 9.8, indicating it is a critical threat. It's also noteworthy that the exploitation of this vulnerability leaves specific indicators such as abnormal traffic to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint and suspicious ncat commands in network traffic, which can help in its detection.\\\nVMware has acknowledged the vulnerability and has published a security advisory recommending that users update to the latest version of the software. This update effectively patches the vulnerability and protects systems from this exploit. It's crucial that all users of the affected versions of VMware's vRealize Network Insight promptly apply the update to mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2023-20887.", "references": ["https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20887", "https://summoning.team/blog/vmware-vrealize-network-insight-rce-cve-2023-20887/", "https://viz.greynoise.io/tag/VMware-aria-operations-for-networks-rce-attempt?days=30", "https://github.com/sinsinology/CVE-2023-20887"], "tags": {"name": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "analytic_story": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1210", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "MuddyWater", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1068", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT33", "BITTER", "Cobalt Group", "FIN6", "FIN8", "LAPSUS$", "MoustachedBouncer", "PLATINUM", "Scattered Spider", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Whitefly", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Lateral Movement", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}]}, {"name": "VMware Server Side Injection and Privilege Escalation", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2022-05-19", "version": 1, "id": "d6d51cc2-a092-43b7-9f61-1159943afe39", "description": "Recently disclosed CVE-2022-22954 and CVE-2022-22960 have been identified in the wild abusing VMware products to compromise internet faced devices and escalate privileges.", "narrative": "On April 6, 2022, VMware published VMSA-2022-0011, which discloses multiple vulnerabilities discovered by Steven Seeley (mr_me) of Qihoo 360 Vulnerability Research Institute.

This analytic story looks for suspicious process execution, command-line activity, downloads, persistence, defense evasion and more.", "narrative": "Warzone RAT, also known as Ave Maria, is a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT) that surfaced in January 2019. Originally offered as malware-as-a-service (MaaS), it rapidly gained notoriety and became one of the most prominent malware strains by 2020. Its exceptional capabilities in stealth and anti-analysis techniques make it a formidable threat in various campaigns, including those targeting sensitive geopolitical entities. The malware's impact is particularly concerning as it has been associated with attacks aimed at compromising government employees and military personnel, notably within India's National Informatics Centre (NIC). Its deployment by several advanced persistent threat (APT) groups further underlines its potency and adaptability in the hands of skilled threat actors. Warzone RAT's capabilities enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to targeted systems, facilitating data theft, surveillance, and the potential to wreak havoc on critical infrastructures. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures are crucial in defending against such malicious tools.\" This version provides more context and elaborates on the malware's capabilities and potential impact. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity measures to combat such threats effectively.", "references":

Bootkits reside at a layer below the operating system and may make it difficult to perform full remediation unless an organization suspects one was used and can act accordingly.", "narrative": "A bootkit is a sophisticated type of malware that targets the boot sectors of a hard drive, specifically the Master Boot Record (MBR) and Volume Boot Record (VBR). The MBR is the initial section of the disk that is loaded following the hardware initialization process executed by the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). It houses the boot loader, which is responsible for loading the operating system. In contrast, the VBR is located at the beginning of each partition and contains the boot code for that specific partition. When an adversary gains raw access to the boot drive, they can overwrite the MBR or VBR, effectively diverting the execution during startup from the standard boot loader to the malicious code injected by the attacker. This tampering allows the malware to load before the operating system, enabling it to execute malicious activities stealthily and maintain persistence on the compromised system. Bootkits are particularly dangerous because they can bypass security measures implemented by the operating system and antivirus software. Since they load before the operating system, they can easily evade detection and manipulate the system's behavior from the earliest stages of the boot process. This capability makes bootkits a potent tool in an attacker's arsenal for gaining unauthorized access, stealing sensitive information, or launching further attacks on other systems. To defend against bootkit attacks, organizations should implement multiple layers of security, including strong endpoint protection, regular software updates, user awareness training, and monitoring for unusual system behavior. Additionally, hardware-based security features, such as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot and Trusted Platform Module (TPM), can help protect the integrity of the boot process and reduce the risk of bootkit infections.", "references": ["https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/04/11/guidance-for-investigating-attacks-using-cve-2022-21894-the-blacklotus-campaign/", "https://www.welivesecurity.com/2023/03/01/blacklotus-uefi-bootkit-myth-confirmed/"], "tags": {"name": "Windows BootKits", "analytic_story": "Windows BootKits", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1542.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1542", "mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Windows BootLoader Inventory - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Registry BootExecute Modification - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Windows BootLoader Inventory", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Registry BootExecute Modification", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Certificate Services", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-01", "version": 1, "id": "b92b4ac7-0026-4408-a6b5-c1d20658e124", "description": "Adversaries may steal or forge certificates used for authentication to access remote systems or resources.

Authentication certificates can be both stolen and forged. For example, AD CS certificates can be stolen from encrypted storage (in the Registry or files), misplaced certificate files (i.e. Unsecured Credentials), or directly from the Windows certificate store via various crypto APIs.With appropriate enrollment rights, users and/or machines within a domain can also request and/or manually renew certificates from enterprise certificate authorities (CA). This enrollment process defines various settings and permissions associated with the certificate. Abusing certificates for authentication credentials may enable other behaviors such as Lateral Movement. Certificate-related misconfigurations may also enable opportunities for Privilege Escalation, by way of allowing users to impersonate or assume privileged accounts or permissions via the identities (SANs) associated with a certificate. These abuses may also enable Persistence via stealing or forging certificates that can be used as Valid Accounts for the duration of the certificate's validity, despite user password resets. Authentication certificates can also be stolen and forged for machine accounts.

First, it must have a valid signature. Second, typically it should load from the windows\\system32\\drivers path. There are a few methods to investigate drivers in the environment. Drivers are noisy. An inventory of all drivers is important to understand prevalence. A driver location (Path) is also important when attempting to baseline. Looking at a driver name and path is not enough, we must also explore the signing information. Product, description, company name, signer and signing result are all items to take into account when reviewing drivers. What makes a driver malicious? Depending if a driver was dropped during a campaign or you are baselining drivers after, triaging a driver to determine maliciousness may be tough. We break this into two categories - 1. vulnerable drivers 2. driver rootkits. Attempt to identify prevelance of the driver. Is it on one or many? Review the signing information if it is present.

Multiple binaries were dropped onto the system via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), some of which were flagged as potential exploits for a known vulnerability. However, a string containing the Russian term for \"0day\" suggested an unknown vulnerability was at play. Subsequent investigations identified this as a zero-day vulnerability affecting the Windows Error Reporting (WER) component, now known as CVE-2023-36874. \\\nThe WER service's function is to report software issues on Windows hosts. The exploit centered around manipulating the WER service by redirecting file systems to execute attacker-controlled code with elevated privileges. This was achieved by creating a symbolic link redirection from the C:\\ drive to an attacker-controlled directory, and then triggering certain WER functions. Consequently, an unauthorized executable was run instead of the legitimate one, giving the attacker high-level access. \\\nThe observed exploit kit's primary objective was to initiate a privileged interpreter, such as cmd.exe or powershell_ise.exe. If this couldn't be achieved, a privileged scheduled task was created as an alternative. The exploit kit showcased a range of binaries, some packed and others not, some in C++ and others in pure C. This diversity suggests the knowledge of the vulnerability was likely shared among different developers. \\\nCrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations, as of now, hasn't linked this activity to any specific threat actor.

Some of the malicious behaviors involved may include inserting spaces before file extensions or prepending the file extension with a different one, among other techniques.", "narrative": "Attackers use a variety of techniques to entice users to run malicious code or to persist on an endpoint. One way to accomplish these goals is to leverage file extensions and the mechanism Windows uses to associate files with specific applications. \\\n Since its earliest days, Windows has used extensions to identify file types. Users have become familiar with these extensions and their application associations. For example, if users see that a file ends in `.doc` or `.docx`, they will assume that it is a Microsoft Word document and expect that double-clicking will open it using `winword.exe`. The user will typically also presume that the `.docx` file is safe. \\\n Attackers take advantage of this expectation by obfuscating the true file extension. They can accomplish this in a couple of ways. One technique involves inserting multiple spaces in the file name before the extension to hide the extension from the GUI, obscuring the true nature of the file. Another approach involves prepending the real extension with a different one. This is especially effective when Windows is configured to \"hide extensions for known file types.\" In this case, the real extension is not displayed, but the prepended one is, leading end users to believe the file is a different type than it actually is.\\\nChanging the association between a file extension and an application can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The technique typically involves changing the association for an often-launched file type to associate instead with a malicious program the attacker has dropped on the endpoint. When the end user launches a file that has been manipulated in this way, it will execute the attacker's malware. It will also execute the application the end user expected to run, cleverly obscuring the fact that something suspicious has occurred.\\\nRun the searches in this story to detect and investigate suspicious behavior that may indicate abuse or manipulation of Windows file extensions and/or associations.", "references": ["https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2013/12/file-extensions-2/", "https://attack.mitre.org/wiki/Technique/T1042"], "tags": {"name": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "analytic_story": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1036.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "GALLIUM", "Lazarus Group", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1546.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Kimsuky"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1036", "mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT32", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Kimsuky", "LazyScripter", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Windshift", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension - Rule", "ESCU - Suspicious Changes to File Associations - Rule", "ESCU - Execution of File with Multiple Extensions - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Parent Process Info - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Process Info - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}, {"name": "Suspicious Changes to File Associations", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association"}]}}, {"name": "Execution of File with Multiple Extensions", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Log Manipulation", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-12", "version": 2, "id": "b6db2c60-a281-48b4-95f1-2cd99ed56835", "description": "Adversaries often try to cover their tracks by manipulating Windows logs.

Even if no malicious activity is detected, the knowledge of an attempt to manipulate system logs may be indicative of a broader security risk that should be thoroughly investigated.\\\nThe Analytic Story gives users two different ways to detect manipulation of Windows Event Logs and one way to detect deletion of the Update Sequence Number (USN) Change Journal.

This vulnerability was exploited by cybercriminals to craft ZIP archives containing malicious and non-malicious files, distributed on specialized trading forums. The exploit allowed them to spoof file extensions, hiding the launch of malicious scripts within an archive masquerading as a '.jpg', '.txt', or any other file format. When victims opened the specially crafted archive, it executed the malware, leading to unauthorized access to their broker accounts and enabling the cybercriminals to perform illicit financial transactions and withdraw funds. \\\nThe vulnerability was discovered while researching the spread of DarkMe malware, a VisualBasic spy Trojan attributed to the financially motivated group, Evilnum. The malware was distributed alongside other malware families, such as GuLoader and Remcos RAT, via malicious ZIP archives posted on popular trading forums or distributed via file-sharing services. Despite efforts by forum administrators to warn users and disable threat actors' accounts, the cybercriminals continued to spread the malicious files, compromising devices, and leading to financial losses. \\\nGroup-IB immediately notified RARLAB about the vulnerability, and they promptly responded by issuing a patch. The beta version of the patch was released on July 20, 2023, and the final updated version, WinRAR 6.23, was released on August 2, 2023. Group-IB recommends all users install the latest version of WinRAR to mitigate the risk of exploitation. \\\nIn conclusion, the exploitation of the CVE-2023-38831 vulnerability highlights the constant risks associated with software vulnerabilities and the importance of remaining vigilant, keeping systems updated, and following security guidelines to avoid falling victim to such attacks. Collaboration between security researchers and software developers is essential to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, making it harder for cybercriminals to exploit them.", "references": ["https://www.group-ib.com/blog/cve-2023-38831-winrar-zero-day/", "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-38831"], "tags": {"name": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "analytic_story": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1105", "mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Ajax Security Team", "Andariel", "Aquatic Panda", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Elderwood", "Ember Bear", "Evilnum", "FIN13", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "IndigoZebra", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "Molerats", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volatile Cedar", "WIRTE", "Whitefly", "Windshift", "Winnti Group", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Command and Control"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - WinRAR Spawning Shell Application - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "WinRAR Spawning Shell Application", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer"}]}}]}, {"name": "Winter Vivern", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-16", "version": 1, "id": "5ce5f311-b311-4568-90ca-0c36781d07a4", "description": "Utilize searches that enable you to detect and investigate unusual activities potentially related to the Winter Vivern malicious software.

Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The two critical vulnerabilities are CVE-2023-40044, a .NET deserialization flaw, and CVE-2023-42657, a directory traversal vulnerability. Rapid7 has observed active exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Affected versions are prior to 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. Immediate action is advised - upgrade to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure. This comes in the wake of increased scrutiny following the Cl0p ransomware attack on MOVEit Transfer in May 2023.", "narrative": "Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in WS_FTP Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The first, CVE-2023-40044, is a .NET deserialization flaw that targets the Ad Hoc Transfer module of WS_FTP Server versions earlier than 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server's operating system without needing authentication. The second vulnerability, CVE-2023-42657, is a directory traversal flaw that allows attackers to perform unauthorized file operations outside of their authorized WS_FTP folder. In severe cases, the attacker could escape the WS_FTP Server file structure and perform operations on the underlying operating system. Both vulnerabilities have been observed being exploited in the wild and immediate action for mitigation is strongly advised. Updating to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2 is recommended. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure.", "references": ["https://www.assetnote.io/resources/research/rce-in-progress-ws-ftp-ad-hoc-via-iis-http-modules-cve-2023-40044", "https://community.progress.com/s/article/WS-FTP-Server-Critical-Vulnerability-September-2023", "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-40044", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/09/29/etr-critical-vulnerabilities-in-ws_ftp-server/", "https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/security/fantastic-iis-modules-and-how-to-find-them.html"], "tags": {"name": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "analytic_story": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1505", "mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT38", "APT39", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "TEMP.Veles", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior - Rule", "ESCU - W3WP Spawning Shell - Rule", "ESCU - Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query - Rule", "ESCU - WS FTP Remote Code Execution - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "W3WP Spawning Shell", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}]}}, {"name": "WS FTP Remote Code Execution", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "XMRig", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Rod Soto Splunk", "date": "2021-05-07", "version": 1, "id": "06723e6a-6bd8-4817-ace2-5fb8a7b06628", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the xmrig monero, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process command-line, defense evasion (killing services, deleting users, modifying files or folder permission, killing other malware or other coin miner) and hacking tools including Telegram as mean of Command And Control (C2) to download other files.

+description: This analytic detects attempts to exploit the ConnectWise ScreenConnect CVE-2024-1708 vulnerability, which allows an attacker to perform path traversal attacks by manipulating the file_path and file_name parameters in the URL. The vulnerability, identified as critical with a CVSS score of 9.8, enables unauthorized users to access sensitive files and directories on the host system, potentially leading to the exfiltration of sensitive data or the execution of arbitrary code. The search query provided looks for file system events that could indicate exploitation attempts. This detection is crucial for identifying and responding to active exploitation of this vulnerability in environments running affected versions of ScreenConnect (23.9.7 and prior). It is recommended to update to version 23.9.8 or above immediately to remediate the issue, as detailed in the ConnectWise security advisory and further analyzed by Huntress researchers.

+how_to_implement: This analytic utilizes the Endpoint datamodel Filesystem node to identify path traversal attempts against ScreenConnect. Note that using SACL auditing or other file system monitoring tools may also be used to detect path traversal attempts. Typically the data for this analytic will come from EDR or other properly CIM mapped data sources.
+known_false_positives: False positives are not expected, as the detection is based on the presence of file system events that indicate path traversal attempts. The analytic may be modified to look for any file writes to this path as it is not common for files to write here.

+description: This analytic detects attempts to exploit the ConnectWise ScreenConnect CVE-2024-1709 vulnerability, which allows an attacker to bypass authentication using an alternate path or channel. The vulnerability, identified as critical with a CVSS score of 10, enables unauthorized users to access the SetupWizard.aspx page on already-configured ScreenConnect instances, potentially leading to the creation of administrative users and remote code execution. The search query provided looks for web requests to the SetupWizard.aspx page that could indicate exploitation attempts. This detection is crucial for identifying and responding to active exploitation of this vulnerability in environments running affected versions of ScreenConnect (23.9.7 and prior). It is recommended to update to version 23.9.8 or above immediately to remediate the issue, as detailed in the ConnectWise security advisory and further analyzed by Huntress researchers.
+search: '| tstats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Web where Web.url IN ("*/SetupWizard.aspx/*","*/SetupWizard/") by Web.src, Web.dest, Web.http_user_agent, Web.url, Web.status, Web.http_method, sourcetype, source

+how_to_implement: To implement this analytic, ensure proper logging is occurring with IIS, Apache, or a Proxy server and that these logs are being ingested into Splunk. The proper TA will need to be enabled and should be mapped to CIM and the Web datamodel. Ingestion of the data source is required to utilize this detection. In addition, if it is not mapped to the datamodel, modify the query for your application logs to look for requests the same URI and investigate further.
+known_false_positives: False positives are not expected, as the detection is based on the presence of web requests to the SetupWizard.aspx page, which is not a common page to be accessed by legitimate users. Note that the analytic is limited to HTTP POST and a status of 200 to reduce false positives. Modify the query as needed to reduce false positives or hunt for additional indicators of compromise.

+description: This analytic story provides a comprehensive overview of the ConnectWise ScreenConnect vulnerabilities.
+narrative: The following analytic story includes content for recently disclosed CWE-288 Authentication Bypass and CWE-22 Path Traversal. The vulnerabilities, identified as critical with CVSS scores of 10 and 9.8, respectively, enable unauthorized users to bypass authentication and perform path traversal attacks on affected ScreenConnect instances. The analytic story includes detection analytics for both vulnerabilities, which are crucial for identifying and responding to active exploitation in environments running affected versions of ScreenConnect (23.9.7 and prior). It is recommended to update to version 23.9.8 or above immediately to remediate the issues, as detailed in the ConnectWise security advisory and further analyzed by Huntress researchers. The analytic story also includes guidance on how to implement the detection analytics, known false positives, and references to additional resources for further analysis and remediation.

+description: SnakeKeylogger is a stealthy malware designed to secretly record keystrokes on infected devices. 
+  It operates covertly in the background, capturing sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details. 
+  This keylogging threat poses a significant risk to user privacy and security.
+narrative: SnakeKeylogger, a notorious malware, first emerged in the early 2010s, 
+  gaining infamy for its clandestine ability to capture keystrokes on compromised systems. 
+  As a stealthy threat, it infiltrates computers silently, recording every keystroke entered by users, 
+  including sensitive information like passwords and financial details. Over time, it has evolved to evade detection mechanisms,
+  posing a persistent threat to cybersecurity. Its widespread use in various cybercrime activities underscores its 
+  significance as a tool for espionage and data theft. Despite efforts to combat it, SnakeKeylogger continues to lurk in the shadows, 
+  perpetuating its malicious activities with devastating consequences.

+version: 1
+date: '2024-02-22'
+author: Michael Haag, Splunk
+data_source: []
+type: TTP
+status: production
+description: The following analytic identifies potential exploitation of the WordPress Bricks Builder plugin RCE vulnerability. The search is focused on the URL path "/wp-json/bricks/v1/render_element" with a status code of 200 and a POST method. It has been addressed by the theme developers in version 1.9.6.1 released on February 13, 2024. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-25600. The POC exploit is simple enough and will spawn commands on the target server. The exploit is actively being used in the wild.
+search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Web where Web.url IN ("*/wp-json/bricks/v1/render_element") Web.status=200 Web.http_method=POST by Web.src, Web.dest, Web.http_user_agent, Web.url, Web.uri_path, Web.status, Web.http_method, sourcetype, source

+  | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` 
+  | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` 
+  | `wordpress_bricks_builder_plugin_rce_filter`'
+how_to_implement: The search is based on data in the Web datamodel and was modeled from NGINX logs. Ensure that the Web datamodel is accelerated and that the data source for the Web datamodel is properly configured. If using other web sources, modify they query, or review the data, as needed.
+known_false_positives: False positives may be possible, however we restricted it to HTTP Status 200 and POST requests, based on the POC. Upon investigation review the POST body for the actual payload - or command - being executed.

Kubernetes audit logs provide a record of the requests made to the Kubernetes API server, which is crucial for monitoring and detecting suspicious activities. Configure the audit policy in Kubernetes to determine what kind of activities are logged. This is done by creating an Audit Policy and providing it to the API server. Use the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes to collect the logs. This doc will describe how to collect the audit log file https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector-chart/blob/main/docs/migration-from-sck.md.

 explanation = The following analytic detects the suspicious editing of cron jobs in Linux via the crontab command-line parameter. This tactic could be used by adversaries or malware to schedule execution of their malicious code, potentially leading to system compromise or unauthorized persistent access. It pinpoints this activity by monitoring command-line executions involving 'crontab' and the edit parameter (-e).\
 Recognizing such activity is vital for a SOC as cron job manipulations might signal unauthorized persistence attempts or scheduled malicious actions, potentially resulting in substantial harm. A true positive signifies an active threat, with implications ranging from unauthorized access to broader network compromise.\
 To implement this analytic, logs capturing process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your endpoints must be ingested.\

 explanation = The following analytic utilizes Windows Security EventCode 4698, which indicates the creation of a scheduled task on a Windows system. The purpose of this query is to identify suspicious tasks that have been registered using either schtasks.exe or TaskService and involve executing a command from a user-writable file path.\
 When this analytic is triggered, it provides information such as the first and last registration time of the task, the command to be executed, the task name, author, and whether it is set as hidden or not. It is worth noting that schtasks.exe is commonly located in C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\syswow64, and it loads the taskschd.dll DLL when launched. If this DLL is loaded by another process, it suggests that a scheduled task may be registered within that process's context in memory.\
 During the triage process, it is essential to identify the source of the scheduled task creation, whether it was initiated through schtasks.exe or TaskService. The analyst should review the task that was created, including the command to be executed. Additionally, any artifacts on disk related to the task should be captured and analyzed. It is also recommended to identify any parallel processes that occurred within the same timeframe to determine the source of the task creation.\
-By conducting this triage process, security analysts can gain insights into potentially malicious or suspicious scheduled tasks, helping them identify the source and assess the impact of the task. This analytic is valuable for a Security Operations Center (SOC) as it can detect unauthorized or suspicious activity that could indicate an attacker's attempt to establish persistence or execute unauthorized commands on the system.\

+explanation = The following analytic identifies potential exploitation of the WordPress Bricks Builder plugin RCE vulnerability. The search is focused on the URL path "/wp-json/bricks/v1/render_element" with a status code of 200 and a POST method. It has been addressed by the theme developers in version 1.9.6.1 released on February 13, 2024. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-25600. The POC exploit is simple enough and will spawn commands on the target server. The exploit is actively being used in the wild.
+how_to_implement = The search is based on data in the Web datamodel and was modeled from NGINX logs. Ensure that the Web datamodel is accelerated and that the data source for the Web datamodel is properly configured. If using other web sources, modify they query, or review the data, as needed.

 description = The Snake implant is considered the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool designed and used by Center 16 of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) for long-term intelligence collection on sensitive targets.
 narrative = The Snake implant is considered the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool designed and used by Center 16 of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) for long-term intelligence collection on sensitive targets. To conduct operations using this tool, the FSB created a covert peer-to-peer (P2P) network of numerous Snake-infected computers worldwide. Many systems in this P2P network serve as relay nodes which route disguised operational traffic to and from Snake implants on the FSB's ultimate targets. Snake's custom communications protocols employ encryption and fragmentation for confidentiality and are designed to hamper detection and collection efforts. We consider Snake to be the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool in the FSB's arsenal. The sophistication of Snake stems from three principal areas. First, Snake employs means to achieve a rare level of stealth in its host components and network communications. Second, Snake's internal technical architecture allows for easy incorporation of new or replacement components. This design also facilitates the development and interoperability of Snake instances running on different host operating systems. We have observed interoperable Snake implants for Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Lastly, Snake demonstrates careful software engineering design and implementation, with the implant containing surprisingly few bugs given its complexity. (CISA, 2023)

It operates covertly in the background, capturing sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details. This keylogging threat poses a significant risk to user privacy and security.
+narrative = SnakeKeylogger, a notorious malware, first emerged in the early 2010s, gaining infamy for its clandestine ability to capture keystrokes on compromised systems. As a stealthy threat, it infiltrates computers silently, recording every keystroke entered by users, including sensitive information like passwords and financial details. Over time, it has evolved to evade detection mechanisms, posing a persistent threat to cybersecurity. Its widespread use in various cybercrime activities underscores its significance as a tool for espionage and data theft. Despite efforts to combat it, SnakeKeylogger continues to lurk in the shadows, perpetuating its malicious activities with devastating consequences.

+description = This analytic detects attempts to exploit the ConnectWise ScreenConnect CVE-2024-1708 vulnerability, which allows an attacker to perform path traversal attacks by manipulating the file_path and file_name parameters in the URL. The vulnerability, identified as critical with a CVSS score of 9.8, enables unauthorized users to access sensitive files and directories on the host system, potentially leading to the exfiltration of sensitive data or the execution of arbitrary code. The search query provided looks for file system events that could indicate exploitation attempts. This detection is crucial for identifying and responding to active exploitation of this vulnerability in environments running affected versions of ScreenConnect (23.9.7 and prior). It is recommended to update to version 23.9.8 or above immediately to remediate the issue, as detailed in the ConnectWise security advisory and further analyzed by Huntress researchers.

 description = The following analytic detects the suspicious editing of cron jobs in Linux via the crontab command-line parameter. This tactic could be used by adversaries or malware to schedule execution of their malicious code, potentially leading to system compromise or unauthorized persistent access. It pinpoints this activity by monitoring command-line executions involving 'crontab' and the edit parameter (-e).\
 Recognizing such activity is vital for a SOC as cron job manipulations might signal unauthorized persistence attempts or scheduled malicious actions, potentially resulting in substantial harm. A true positive signifies an active threat, with implications ranging from unauthorized access to broader network compromise.\
 To implement this analytic, logs capturing process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your endpoints must be ingested.\
-Known false positives could stem from valid administrative tasks or automation processes using crontab. To reduce these, fine-tune the filter macros according to the benign activities within your environment. These adjustments ensure legitimate actions aren't mistaken for threats, allowing analysts to focus on genuine potential risks.\

 action.escu.how_to_implement = The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.
 action.escu.known_false_positives = Administrator or network operator can use this application for automation purposes. Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.

This detection is crucial for identifying and responding to active exploitation of this vulnerability in environments running affected versions of ScreenConnect (23.9.7 and prior). It is recommended to update to version 23.9.8 or above immediately to remediate the issue, as detailed in the ConnectWise security advisory and further analyzed by Huntress researchers.
+action.escu.how_to_implement = To implement this analytic, ensure proper logging is occurring with IIS, Apache, or a Proxy server and that these logs are being ingested into Splunk. The proper TA will need to be enabled and should be mapped to CIM and the Web datamodel. Ingestion of the data source is required to utilize this detection. In addition, if it is not mapped to the datamodel, modify the query for your application logs to look for requests the same URI and investigate further.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services.

Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

Identifying when this setting is disabled can help blue teams to quickly respond, investigate, and potentially uncover targeted phishing campaigns against their users. If an attacker successfully disables the \"risk-based step-up consent\" and subsequently launches an OAuth phishing campaign, they could gain unauthorized access to user data and other sensitive information within the M365 environment.

It identifies a notable increase in failed authentication attempts across a variety of unique user-and-IP address combinations, originating from multiple source IP addresses and countries, and employing different user agents. Such patterns suggest an adversary's attempt to bypass security controls by using a range of IP addresses to test commonly used passwords against numerous user accounts. The detection scrutinizes SignInLogs from Azure AD logs, particularly focusing on events with error code 50126, which signals a failed authentication due to incorrect credentials. By collating data over a five-minute interval, the analytic computes the distinct counts of user-and-IP combinations, unique users, source IPs, and countries. It then applies a set of thresholds to these metrics to pinpoint unusual activities that could indicate a coordinated attack effort. The thresholds set within the analytic (such as unique IPs, unique users, etc.) are initial guidelines and should be customized based on the organization's user behavior and risk profile. Recognizing this behavior is vital for security operations centers (SOCs) as distributed password spraying represents a more complex form of traditional password spraying. Attackers distribute the source of their attempts to evade detection mechanisms that typically monitor for single-source IP anomalies. Prompt detection of such distributed activities is essential to thwart unauthorized access attempts, prevent account compromises, and mitigate the risk of further malicious activities within the organization's network. A true positive alert from this analytic suggests an active distributed password spraying attack against the organization's Azure AD tenant.

It triggers when a single user account is involved in more than 8 authentication attempts, using 3 or more unique application IDs and more than 5 unique user agents within a short timeframe. This pattern is atypical for regular user behavior and may indicate an adversary's attempt to probe the environment, testing for multi-factor authentication requirements across different applications and platforms. The detection is based on analysis of Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture. If validated as a true positive, this detection points to a compromised account, signaling that an attacker is actively attempting to navigate security controls to maintain access and potentially escalate privileges. This could lead to further exploitation, lateral movement within the network, and eventual data exfiltration.

Specifically, it identifies scenarios where there are more than 10 unsuccessful login attempts within a short time frame. The detection leverages Office365 management activity logs, specifically the AzureActiveDirectoryStsLogon records from the AzureActiveDirectory workload. It aggregates these logs in 5-minute intervals to count the number of failed login attempts and associates them with the originating source IP address. Multiple failed login attempts from a single source can be indicative of brute-force attacks, password spraying, or other malicious authentication attempts.

By monitoring these logs, the analytic captures and alerts on any actions that result in the deactivation or disabling of MFA for a user. MFA is a cornerstone of modern security practices, providing an additional layer of protection beyond just a password.

Monitoring for such changes is crucial to detect potential security breaches and to ensure that security best practices are consistently applied. If the detection is a true positive, it indicates that a user's account is now at increased risk of unauthorized access, as the added security layer of MFA has been removed.

Specifically, it detects scenarios where a user experiences more than nine Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) prompts within a 10-minute timeframe. Attackers may exploit MFA fatigue by repeatedly triggering MFA requests, hoping that the user, out of frustration or oversight, will approve a malicious authentication attempt. The detection leverages O365 management activity logs, focusing on Azure Active Directory events. It looks for the UserLoginFailed operation combined with a Success ResultStatus and an ErrorNumber of 500121, which indicates MFA prompts. By monitoring these specific events and conditions, the analytic captures and alerts on potential MFA fatigue scenarios. With MFA being a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity defenses, attackers are constantly seeking ways to bypass or exploit it. MFA fatigue is one such tactic, where attackers rely on user frustration or confusion caused by frequent MFA prompts. Detecting potential MFA fatigue scenarios allows security teams to proactively investigate and ensure that users aren't inadvertently granting access to malicious actors.

This detection is made by a Splunk query to O365 management activity logs with the operation `Set-Mailbox` to gather information about mailbox configurations. Then, the query uses the `spath` function to extract the parameters and rename the \"Identity\" field as \"src_user\" and searches for entries where the \"ForwardingSmtpAddress\" field is not empty, which indicates the presence of a forwarding rule. Next, the analytic uses the `stats` command to group the results by the forwarding email address and count the number of unique source users (`src_user`). Finally, it filters the results and only retains entries where the count of source users (`count_src_user`) is greater than 1, which indicates that multiple users have set up forwarding rules to the same destination. This detection is important because it suggests that multiple users are forwarding emails to the same destination without proper authorization, which can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, loss of data control, or unauthorized access to confidential emails. Investigating and addressing this issue promptly can help prevent data breaches and mitigate potential damage.indicates a potential security risk since multiple users forwarding emails to the same destination can be a sign of unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or a compromised account.

This analytic retrieves information such as the destination, user, process name, process ID, parent process, original file name, and parent process ID from the Endpoint.Processes data model.  The detection is important because it indicates potential malicious activity since attackers might use this technique to manipulate or delete shadow copies, which are used for system backup and recovery. This detection helps to determine if an attacker is attempting to cover their tracks or prevent data recovery in the event of an incident. The impact of such an attack can be significant since it can hinder incident response efforts, prevent data restoration, and potentially lead to data loss or compromise.

Identify additional log sources, IIS included, to review source and other potential exploitation. It is often the case that a particular threat is only applicable to a specific subset of systems in your environment. Typically analytics to detect those threats are written without the benefit of being able to only target those systems as well. Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers. A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously. If this theory is run against all publicly facing systems, the amount of noise it will generate will likely render this theory untenable.

This detection is made by using the Splunk query `wineventlog_security` EventCode=4720 OR (EventCode=4732 Group_Name=Administrators) to search for relevant security events in the Windows event log. When a new account is created or an existing account is added to the Administrators group, this analytic identifies this behavior by looking for EventCode 4720 (A user account was created) or EventCode 4732 (A member was added to a security-enabled global group). This analytic specifically focuses on events where the Group_Name is set to Administrators. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker has gained elevated privileges and can perform malicious actions with administrative access. This can lead to significant impact, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, unauthorized modifications to systems or configurations, and potential disruption of critical services. identifying this behavior is crucial for a Security Operations Center (SOC). Next steps include reviewing the details of the security event, including the user account that was created or added to the Administrators group. Also, examine the time span between the first and last occurrence of the event to determine if the behavior is ongoing.

Malwares and malicious programs such as ransomware often use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) such as copying malicious files to the local machine to propagate themselves across the network. A key indicator of compromise is that after a successful execution of the malware, it copies itself as an executable file with a randomly generated filename and places this file in one of the directories. Such techniques are seen in several malwares such as TrickBot. We develop machine learning model that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to distinguish between malicious and benign processnames.

The detection is important because credential theft can lead to broader system compromise, persistence, lateral movement, and escalated privileges. No legitimate use of this technique has been identified yet. This behavior is often part of more extensive attack campaigns and is associated with numerous threat groups that use the stolen credentials to access sensitive information or systems, leading to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.

This identifies file extensions in the file names of the written files. If any file write events with these extensions are found, it suggests a potential SamSam ransomware attack. This detection is important because SamSam ransomware is a highly destructive and financially motivated attack and suggests that the organization is at risk of having its files encrypted and held for ransom, which can lead to significant financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. False positives might occur since legitimate files with these extensions can exist in the environment. Therefore, next steps include conducting a careful analysis and triage to confirm the presence of a SamSam ransomware attack.

To implement this analytic, ensure you are ingesting logs with the required fields from your endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. When a true positive is detected, it suggests that an attacker is attempting to establish persistence or deliver additional malicious payloads by leveraging the \"At\" application. This behavior can lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other damaging outcomes.\\\nDuring triage, the SOC analyst should review the context surrounding the execution of the \"At\" application. This includes identifying the user, the parent process responsible for invoking the application, and the specific command-line arguments used. It is important to consider whether the execution is expected behavior by an administrator or network operator for legitimate automation purposes.\\\nThe presence of \"At\" application execution may indicate an attacker's attempt to maintain unauthorized access to the environment.

The detection is important because  it indicates the presence of malicious activity since Base64 encoding is commonly used to obfuscate malicious commands or payloads, and decoding it can be a step in running those commands.

This analytic also retrieves registry information such as registry path, registry key name, registry value name, registry value data, and process GUID. By joining the process GUID from the Endpoint.Processes data model with the process GUID from the Endpoint.Registry data model, the analytic identifies instances where the \"license\" registry key is found in the \"Software\\Remcos\" path. This detection is important because it suggests that the host has been compromised by the Remcos RAT agent. Remcos is a well-known remote access Trojan that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. Identifying this behavior allows the SOC to take immediate action to remove the RAT agent and prevent further compromise. The impact of this attack can be severe, as the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised system as a launching point for further attacks.

Helps prevent or minimize the potential damage caused by unauthorized access or malicious activities within the environment. This detection is made by a Splunk query that searches for events with the result IDs 4720 and 4726 in the \"Change\" data model. The query then groups the results by time, user, and destination. The result is filtered to only include events with the specified result IDs. The \"transaction\" command is used to group events that occur within a specified time span and have the same user but are not connected. Finally, the relevant information such as the first and last time of the event, the count, user, destination, and result ID are displayed in a table. This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to create and delete accounts rapidly, potentially to cover their tracks or gain unauthorized access. The impact of such an attack can include unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, or the ability to carry out further malicious activities within the environment.

This detection is important because it suggests that an attacker is attempting to hide their activities by using the Recycle Bin, which can lead to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes.

ADS is a feature of the NTFS file system that allows the storage of data in hidden streams attached to files. These streams are not visible in standard file listings, making them a popular technique for concealing malicious activity. Event ID 15 captures both the hash of the primary file content (unnamed stream) and the content of any additional named streams, which can include executables, scripts, or configuration data. Malware often exploits ADS to hide payloads, leveraging browser downloads to attach a Zone.Identifier stream, marking the file as originating from the Internet (Mark Of The Web, MOTW). This analytic is designed to identify such misuse by analyzing the content and creation patterns of named streams, including those under 1KB which may contain MOTW information. It is essential for detecting sophisticated threats that utilize non-executable file types or conceal malicious scripts within ADS, beyond the traditional focus on PE executables. The detection process involves monitoring for the creation of named streams, which are part of the NTFS structure and can be examined using tools like PowerShell for the presence of additional data streams or MOTW information.

Natively, the binary is only installed on a domain controller. However, adversaries or administrators may install the Windows Remote Server Admin Tools for ldifde.exe. Ldifde.exe is a Microsoft Windows command-line utility used to import or export LDAP directory entries. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services over an IP network. LDIF, on the other hand, stands for LDAP Data Interchange Format, a standard plain-text data interchange format for representing LDAP directory entries. -i This is a flag used with Ldifde.exe to denote import mode. In import mode, Ldifde.exe takes an LDIF file and imports its contents into the LDAP directory. The data in the LDIF file might include new objects to be created, or modifications or deletions to existing objects. -f This flag is used to specify the filename of the LDIF file that Ldifde.exe will import from (in the case of the -i flag) or export to (without the -i flag). For example, if you wanted to import data from a file called data.ldif, you would use the command ldifde -i -f data.ldif. Keep in mind that while the use of Ldifde.exe is legitimate in many contexts, it can also be used maliciously. For instance, an attacker who has gained access to a domain controller could potentially use Ldifde.exe to export sensitive data or make unauthorized changes to the directory.

It looks for anomalies in PowerShell logs, specifically EventCode 4104, associated with script block logging. The analytic flags unusual or suspicious use patterns of key task-related cmdlets such as 'New-ScheduledTask', 'Set-ScheduledTask', and others, which are often used by attackers for persistence and remote execution of malicious code. If a true positive is found, it suggests an possible attacker is attempting to persist within the environment or potentially deliver additional malicious payloads, leading to data theft, ransomware, or other damaging outcomes. To implement this analytic, PowerShell Script Block Logging needs to be enabled on some or all endpoints. Analysts should be aware of benign administrative tasks that can trigger alerts and tune the analytic accordingly to reduce false positives.

This actor deploys a VPN connection by downloading an executable file for SoftEther VPN from their network infrastructure using one of several LOLBins, including certutil.

This behavior allows the actor to monitor the availability of the compromised system and establish an RDP connection.

This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it indicates a potential compromise of the system and the establishment of a persistent threat. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker has gained access to the environment and is attempting to maintain that access, potentially leading to further malicious activities such as data theft or ransomware attacks. Be aware of potential false positives - legitimate uses of certutil in your environment may cause benign activities to be flagged. Upon triage, review the command executed and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source. This approach helps analysts detect potential threats earlier and mitigate the risks.", "tags": {"name": "Windows SQL Spawning CertUtil", "analytic_story": ["Flax Typhoon"], "asset_type": "Endpoint", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Command and Control"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1105"], "nist": ["DE.CM"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Endpoint", "role": ["Victim"]}, {"name": "user", "type": "User", "role": ["Victim"]}, {"name": "process_name", "type": "Process", "role": ["Target"]}], "message": "$process_name$ was launched on $dest$ by $user$.

This particular technique was observed in the context of the Warzone (Ave Maria) RAT, where it employed a method known as DLL hijacking (dll-side-loading) by dropping the \"dismcore.dll\" to achieve privilege escalation. DLL hijacking is a stealthy attack technique used by cybercriminals to exploit the way Windows searches and loads DLLs. By placing a malicious DLL with the same name as one that a legitimate application is expected to load, the attacker can gain unauthorized access and execute malicious code. In the case of Warzone RAT (Ave Maria), the dropped \"dismcore.dll\" was intended to deceive the system into loading the rogue DLL instead of the legitimate version, thereby granting the malware elevated privileges and enabling further compromise of the target system. Detecting such suspicious DLLs is crucial in preventing privilege escalation attacks and other potential security breaches.

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management technology that allows administrators to perform various tasks on Windows-based systems. Temporary event subscriptions are created to monitor specific events or changes on a system that help to detect potential threats early and take proactive measures to protect the organization's systems and data. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `wmi` EventCode=5860 Temporary to search for events with EventCode 5860, which indicates the creation of a temporary WMI event subscription. To further refine the search results, the query uses regular expressions (rex) to extract the query used in the event subscription. Then, it filters known benign queries related to system processes such as 'wsmprovhost.exe' and 'AntiVirusProduct', 'FirewallProduct', 'AntiSpywareProduct', which helps to focus on potentially malicious or suspicious queries. The detection is important because it indicates malicious activity since attackers use WMI to run commands, gather information, or maintain persistence within a compromised system. False positives might occur since legitimate uses of WMI event subscriptions in the environment might trigger benign activities to be flagged. Therefore, an extensive triage is necessary to review the specific query and assess its intent.

SMB is a network protocol used for sharing files, printers, and other resources between computers. This detection is made by a Splunk query that looks for SMB traffic connections on ports 139 and 445, as well as connections using the SMB application. The query calculates the average and standard deviation of the number of SMB connections over the past 70 minutes, and identifies any sources that exceed two standard deviations from the average. This helps to filter out false positives caused by normal fluctuations in SMB traffic. This detection is important because it identifies potential SMB-based attacks, such as ransomware or data theft, which often involve a large number of SMB connections. This  suggests that an attacker is attempting to exfiltrate data or spread malware within the network. Next steps include investigating the source of the traffic and determining if it is malicious.

An attacker could compromise the Documentum application, manipulate or steal sensitive content, and potentially gain unauthorized access to other system resources. An intrusion of this nature could disrupt business operations, result in data breaches, and even damage the organization's reputation. \\\nHowever, it's important to note that false positives may occur. For example, legitimate but uncommon file uploads might match these URL patterns. It's crucial to verify any alerts generated by this analytic to ensure accurate threat detection. This analytic provides critical insights into potential attack attempts and assists in maintaining the integrity and security of enterprise content management systems like Documentum.", "tags": {"name": "Citrix ShareFile Exploitation CVE-2023-24489", "analytic_story": ["Citrix ShareFile RCE CVE-2023-24489"], "asset_type": "Network", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1190"], "nist": ["DE.AE"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "Possible expliotation of CVE-2023-24489 against $dest$.", "risk_score": 45, "security_domain": "Network", "risk_severity": "low", "atomic_guid": [], "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}]}, "search": "| tstats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Web where Web.url=\"/documentum/upload.aspx?*\" AND Web.url IN (\"*parentid=*\",\"*filename=*\",\"*uploadId=*\") AND Web.url IN (\"*unzip=*\", \"*raw=*\") Web.http_method=POST by Web.http_user_agent, Web.status Web.http_method, Web.url, Web.url_length, Web.src, Web.dest, sourcetype | `drop_dm_object_name(\"Web\")` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`| `citrix_sharefile_exploitation_cve_2023_24489_filter`", "how_to_implement": "Dependent upon the placement of the ShareFile application, ensure the latest Technology Add-On is eneabled.

In the event of a true positive, the implications are severe: an attacker might have gained unbridled access to sensitive organizational data or could modify systems maliciously.

Attackers can insert malicious SQL commands into a URL to manipulate the application's database and retrieve sensitive information or modify data. The impact of a successful SQL injection attack can be severe, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, and even complete compromise of the affected system. False positives might occur since the legitimate use of web applications or specific URLs in your environment can trigger the detection.

All risky commands may be found here https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/SPLsafeguards#Commands_that_trigger_the_warninga. A possible scenario when this might occur is when a malicious actor creates a search that includes commands that exfiltrate or damage data. The malicious actor then sends an unsuspecting user a link to the search. The URL contains a query string (q) and a search identifier (sid), but the sid is not valid. The malicious actor hopes the user will use the link and the search will run. During analysis, pivot based on user name and filter any user or queries not needed. Queries ran from a dashboard are seen as adhoc queries. When a query runs from a dashboard it will not show in audittrail logs the source dashboard name.

Unauthenticated requests can indicate potential security breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive resources within the Kubernetes environment. The detection is important because unauthorized access to Kubernetes' Pods API can lead to the compromise of sensitive data, unauthorized execution of commands, or even the potential for lateral movement within the Kubernetes cluster. False positives might occur since there might be legitimate use cases for unauthenticated requests in certain scenarios.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services.

Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions.

An IAM access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests to AWS services. While IAM access keys can be legitimately used by developers and administrators for API access, their creation can also be indicative of malicious activity. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to an AWS environment might create access keys as a means to establish persistence or to exfiltrate data through the APIs. Moreover, because access keys can be used to authenticate with AWS services without the need for further interaction, they can be particularly appealing for bad actors looking to operate under the radar. Consequently, it's important to vigilantly monitor and scrutinize access key creation events, especially if they are associated with unusual activity or are created by users who don't typically perform these actions. This hunting query identifies when a potentially compromised user creates a IAM access key for another user who may have higher privilleges, which can be a sign for privilege escalation.

Monitoring for changes to critical security settings like the \"risk-based step-up consent\" is vital for maintaining the integrity of an organization's security posture. Disabling this feature can make the environment more susceptible to OAuth phishing attacks, where attackers trick users into granting permissions to malicious applications. Identifying when this setting is disabled can help blue teams to quickly respond, investigate, and potentially uncover targeted phishing campaigns against their users. If an attacker successfully disables the \"risk-based step-up consent\" and subsequently launches an OAuth phishing campaign, they could gain unauthorized access to user data and other sensitive information within the M365 environment.

The detection is based on analysis of Azure AD audit logs, specifically focusing on authentication events. It employs statistical thresholds to highlight instances where the volume of authentication attempts and the diversity of application IDs and user agents associated with a single user account exceed normal parameters. Identifying this behavior is crucial as it provides an early indication of potential account compromise. Adversaries, once in possession of user credentials, often conduct reconnaissance to understand the security controls in place, including multi-factor authentication configurations. Tools like Invoke-MFASweep are commonly used for this purpose, automating the process of testing different user agents and application IDs to bypass MFA. By detecting these initial probing attempts, security teams can swiftly respond, potentially stopping an attack in its early stages and preventing further unauthorized access. This proactive stance is vital for maintaining the integrity of the organization's security posture.

While adding a new MFA method can be a routine and legitimate action, it can also be indicative of an attacker's attempt to maintain persistence on a compromised account. By registering a new MFA method, attackers can potentially bypass existing security measures, allowing them to authenticate using stolen credentials without raising alarms. Monitoring for such changes is crucial, especially if the addition is not preceded by a user request or if it deviates from typical user behavior. If an attacker successfully registers a new MFA method on a compromised account, they can solidify their access, making it harder for legitimate users to regain control.

Given its broad scope and the sensitivity of some permissions that can only be granted via admin consent, it's crucial to monitor this action.

The detection is made by a Splunk query to search for these commands in the Change data model. Identifies commands run by users with the user_type of AssumedRole and a status of success. The query retrieves the earliest and latest timestamps of each command run and groups the results by the user and command. Then, it drops the unnecessary data model object name and creates a lookup to verify if the command was seen before. The lookup table contains information about previously seen cloud API calls for each user role, including the first time the command was seen and whether enough data is available for analysis. If the firstTimeSeenUserApiCall field is null or greater than the relative time of 24 hours ago, it indicates that the command is new and was not seen before. The final result table includes the firstTime, user, object, and command fields of the new commands. It also applies the security_content_ctime function to format the timestamps and applies a filter to remove any cloud API calls from previously unseen user roles.

Identifying and responding to these patterns promptly can prevent unauthorized access and potential breaches.

The specific metric used by this detection is process.memory.utilization. Newly seen processes on a Kubernetes worker node are concerning as they may represent security risks and anomalies that could be related to unauthorized activity. New processes may be introduced  in an attempt to compromise the node or gain control of the Kubernetes cluster. By detecting these processes, they can be investigated, and correlated with other anomalous activity for that host.

Monitoring for such changes is crucial to detect potential security breaches and to ensure that security best practices are consistently applied.

Specifically, it detects when a user is granted FullAccess, SendAs, or SendOnBehalf permissions on another user's mailbox. Such permissions can allow a user to access, send emails from, or send emails on behalf of the target mailbox. The detection leverages O365 audit logs, focusing on the Add-MailboxPermission operation. By parsing the parameters of this operation, the analytic filters for events where FullAccess, SendAs, or SendOnBehalf rights are granted. It then aggregates this data to capture the source user (who was granted the permissions), the destination user (whose mailbox was affected), the specific operation, and the type of access rights granted. Delegating mailbox rights, especially those as powerful as FullAccess, can pose significant security risks. While there are legitimate scenarios for these permissions, such as an executive assistant needing access to an executive's mailbox, there are also malicious scenarios where an attacker or a compromised insider might grant themselves unauthorized access to sensitive mailboxes.

The detection is made by using a Splunk query that searches for processes that involve the \"sc.exe\" command and include the phrase \"stop\" in their command. The query collects information such as the process name, process ID, parent process, user, destination, and timestamps. The detection is important because attempts to stop security-related services can indicate malicious activity or an attacker's attempt to disable security measures. This can impact the organization's security posture and can lead to the compromise of the endpoint and potentially the entire network. Disabling security services can allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate sensitive data, or launch further attacks, such as malware installation or privilege escalation. False positives might occur since there might be legitimate reasons for stopping these services in certain situations. Therefore, you must exercise caution and consider the context of the activity before taking any action. Next steps include reviewing the identified process and its associated details.

False positives might occur since there might be legitimate uses of the net.exe command and the creation of administrator accounts in certain circumstances.

A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously.

Malwares and malicious programs such as ransomware often use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) such as copying malicious files to the local machine to propagate themselves across the network. A key indicator of compromise is that after a successful execution of the malware, it copies itself as an executable file with a randomly generated filename and places this file in one of the directories. Such techniques are seen in several malwares such as TrickBot. We develop machine learning model that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to distinguish between malicious and benign processnames. The model is trained independently and is then made available for download. We use a character level RNN to classify malicious vs. benign processnames.

This detection is made by a Splunk query to search for specific file extensions that are commonly associated with SamSam ransomware, such as .stubbin, .berkshire, .satoshi, .sophos, and .keyxml. This identifies file extensions in the file names of the written files. If any file write events with these extensions are found, it suggests a potential SamSam ransomware attack. This detection is important because SamSam ransomware is a highly destructive and financially motivated attack and suggests that the organization is at risk of having its files encrypted and held for ransom, which can lead to significant financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. False positives might occur since legitimate files with these extensions can exist in the environment. Therefore, next steps include conducting a careful analysis and triage to confirm the presence of a SamSam ransomware attack.

Writing analytics against all systems when those behaviors are limited to identifiable subsets of those systems is suboptimal. Consider the case ProxyShell vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Servers. With asset information, a hunter can limit their analytics to systems that have been identified as Exchange servers. A hunter may start with the theory that the exchange server is communicating with new systems that it has not previously.

This detection is made by a Splunk query to search for instances where the registry key \"license\" is found in the \"Software\\Remcos\" path. This analytic combines information from two data models: Endpoint.Processes and Endpoint.Registry and retrieves process information such as user, process ID, process name, process path, destination, parent process name, parent process, and process GUID. This analytic also retrieves registry information such as registry path, registry key name, registry value name, registry value data, and process GUID. By joining the process GUID from the Endpoint.Processes data model with the process GUID from the Endpoint.Registry data model, the analytic identifies instances where the \"license\" registry key is found in the \"Software\\Remcos\" path. This detection is important because it suggests that the host has been compromised by the Remcos RAT agent. Remcos is a well-known remote access Trojan that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. Identifying this behavior allows the SOC to take immediate action to remove the RAT agent and prevent further compromise. The impact of this attack can be severe, as the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised system as a launching point for further attacks. Next steps include using this analytic in conjunction with other security measures and threat intelligence to ensure accurate detection and response.", "tags": {"name": "Remcos client registry install entry", "analytic_story": ["Remcos", "Windows Registry Abuse"], "asset_type": "Endpoint", "cis20": ["CIS 10"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1112"], "nist": ["DE.CM"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "A registry entry $registry_path$ with registry keyname $registry_key_name$ related to Remcos RAT in host $dest$", "risk_score": 90, "security_domain": "endpoint", "risk_severity": "high", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1112", "mitre_attack_technique": "Modify Registry", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT32", "APT38", "APT41", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Ember Bear", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Kimsuky", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Patchwork", "Silence", "TA505", "Threat Group-3390", "Turla", "Wizard Spider"]}]}, "search": "| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) AS firstTime max(_time) AS lastTime FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Processes BY _time span=1h Processes.user Processes.process_id Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.process_path Processes.dest Processes.parent_process_name Processes.parent_process Processes.process_guid | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | join process_guid [ | tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Registry WHERE (Registry.registry_key_name=*\\\\Software\\\\Remcos*) BY _time span=1h Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_key_name Registry.registry_value_name Registry.registry_value_data Registry.process_guid | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)`] | fields firstTime lastTime dest user parent_process_name parent_process process_name process_path process registry_key_name registry_path registry_value_name registry_value_data process_guid | where isnotnull(registry_value_data) | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` |`remcos_client_registry_install_entry_filter`", "how_to_implement": "The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents.

ADS is a feature of the NTFS file system that allows the storage of data in hidden streams attached to files. These streams are not visible in standard file listings, making them a popular technique for concealing malicious activity. Event ID 15 captures both the hash of the primary file content (unnamed stream) and the content of any additional named streams, which can include executables, scripts, or configuration data. Malware often exploits ADS to hide payloads, leveraging browser downloads to attach a Zone.Identifier stream, marking the file as originating from the Internet (Mark Of The Web, MOTW). This analytic is designed to identify such misuse by analyzing the content and creation patterns of named streams, including those under 1KB which may contain MOTW information. It is essential for detecting sophisticated threats that utilize non-executable file types or conceal malicious scripts within ADS, beyond the traditional focus on PE executables. The detection process involves monitoring for the creation of named streams, which are part of the NTFS structure and can be examined using tools like PowerShell for the presence of additional data streams or MOTW information.

Natively, the binary is only installed on a domain controller. However, adversaries or administrators may install the Windows Remote Server Admin Tools for ldifde.exe. Ldifde.exe is a Microsoft Windows command-line utility used to import or export LDAP directory entries. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services over an IP network. LDIF, on the other hand, stands for LDAP Data Interchange Format, a standard plain-text data interchange format for representing LDAP directory entries. -i This is a flag used with Ldifde.exe to denote import mode. In import mode, Ldifde.exe takes an LDIF file and imports its contents into the LDAP directory. The data in the LDIF file might include new objects to be created, or modifications or deletions to existing objects. -f This flag is used to specify the filename of the LDIF file that Ldifde.exe will import from (in the case of the -i flag) or export to (without the -i flag). For example, if you wanted to import data from a file called data.ldif, you would use the command ldifde -i -f data.ldif.

The actor then uses the Service Control Manager (SCM) to create a Windows service that launches the VPN connection automatically when the system starts. This behavior allows the actor to monitor the availability of the compromised system and establish an RDP connection. This analytic identifies this behavior by monitoring for the use of certutil in conjunction with the downloading of software. This behavior is worth identifying for a SOC as it indicates a potential compromise of the system and the establishment of a persistent threat. If a true positive is found, it suggests an attacker has gained access to the environment and is attempting to maintain that access, potentially leading to further malicious activities such as data theft or ransomware attacks. Be aware of potential false positives - legitimate uses of certutil in your environment may cause benign activities to be flagged. Upon triage, review the command executed and look for concurrent processes to identify the attack source.

This analytic helps detect evasive techniques used to register tasks on Windows systems. It is recommended to filter the results based on the ActionName field by specifying specific paths that are not commonly used in your environment.\\\nAfter implementing this analytic, it is important to review parallel events related to the scheduled tasks. EventID 106 will be generated when a new task is created, but it does not necessarily mean that the task has been executed. Analysts should capture any files on disk associated with the task and perform further analysis.\\\nTo implement this analytic, Task Scheduler logs must be collected. This can be done by adding a stanza for [WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational] in the inputs.conf file and setting renderXml=false.

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management technology that allows administrators to perform various tasks on Windows-based systems. Temporary event subscriptions are created to monitor specific events or changes on a system that help to detect potential threats early and take proactive measures to protect the organization's systems and data. The detection is made by using the Splunk query `wmi` EventCode=5860 Temporary to search for events with EventCode 5860, which indicates the creation of a temporary WMI event subscription. To further refine the search results, the query uses regular expressions (rex) to extract the query used in the event subscription. Then, it filters known benign queries related to system processes such as 'wsmprovhost.exe' and 'AntiVirusProduct', 'FirewallProduct', 'AntiSpywareProduct', which helps to focus on potentially malicious or suspicious queries. The detection is important because it indicates malicious activity since attackers use WMI to run commands, gather information, or maintain persistence within a compromised system. False positives might occur since legitimate uses of WMI event subscriptions in the environment might trigger benign activities to be flagged. Therefore, an extensive triage is necessary to review the specific query and assess its intent. Additionally, capturing and inspecting relevant on-disk artifacts and analyzing concurrent processes can help to identify the source of the attack.

SMB is a network protocol used for sharing files, printers, and other resources between computers. This detection is made by a Splunk query that looks for SMB traffic connections on ports 139 and 445, as well as connections using the SMB application. The query calculates the average and standard deviation of the number of SMB connections over the past 70 minutes, and identifies any sources that exceed two standard deviations from the average. This helps to filter out false positives caused by normal fluctuations in SMB traffic. This detection is important because it identifies potential SMB-based attacks, such as ransomware or data theft, which often involve a large number of SMB connections. This  suggests that an attacker is attempting to exfiltrate data or spread malware within the network. Next steps include investigating the source of the traffic and determining if it is malicious. This can involve reviewing network logs, capturing and analyzing any relevant network packets, and correlating with other security events to identify the attack source and mitigate the risk.", "tags": {"name": "SMB Traffic Spike", "analytic_story": ["Emotet Malware  DHS Report TA18-201A ", "Hidden Cobra Malware", "Ransomware", "DHS Report TA18-074A"], "asset_type": "Endpoint", "cis20": ["CIS 13"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1021.002", "T1021"], "nist": ["DE.AE"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "tbd", "risk_score": 25, "security_domain": "network", "risk_severity": "low", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1021.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "SMB/Windows Admin Shares", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT39", "APT41", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Deep Panda", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "Ke3chang", "Lazarus Group", "Moses Staff", "Orangeworm", "Sandworm Team", "Threat Group-1314", "Turla", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1021", "mitre_attack_technique": "Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Wizard Spider"]}]}, "search": "| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count from datamodel=Network_Traffic where All_Traffic.dest_port=139 OR All_Traffic.dest_port=445 OR All_Traffic.app=smb by _time span=1h, All_Traffic.src | `drop_dm_object_name(\"All_Traffic\")` | eventstats max(_time) as maxtime | stats count as num_data_samples max(eval(if(_time >= relative_time(maxtime, \"-70m@m\"), count, null))) as count avg(eval(if(_time<relative_time(maxtime, \"-70m@m\"), count, null))) as avg stdev(eval(if(_time<relative_time(maxtime, \"-70m@m\"), count, null))) as stdev by src | eval upperBound=(avg+stdev*2), isOutlier=if(count > upperBound AND num_data_samples >=50, 1, 0) | where isOutlier=1 | table src count | `smb_traffic_spike_filter` ", "how_to_implement": "This search requires you to be ingesting your network traffic logs and populating the `Network_Traffic` data model.", "known_false_positives": "A file server may experience high-demand loads that could cause this analytic to trigger.", "check_references": false, "references": [], "datamodel": ["Network_Traffic"], "macros": [{"name": "security_content_summariesonly", "definition": "summariesonly=false allow_old_summaries=true fillnull_value=null", "description": "search data model's summaries only"}, {"name": "smb_traffic_spike_filter", "definition": "search *", "description": "Update this macro to limit the output results to filter out false positives."}], "lookups": [], "source": "network", "test_groups": []}, {"name": "SMB Traffic Spike - MLTK", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2020-07-22", "version": 3, "id": "d25773ba-9ad8-48d1-858e-07ad0bbeb828", "description": "This search uses the Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) to identify spikes in the number of Server Message Block (SMB) connections.", "tags": {"name": "SMB Traffic Spike - MLTK", "analytic_story": ["Emotet Malware  DHS Report TA18-201A ", "Hidden Cobra Malware", "Ransomware", "DHS Report TA18-074A"], "asset_type": "Endpoint", "cis20": ["CIS 13"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"], "mitre_attack_id": ["T1021.002", "T1021"], "nist": ["DE.AE"], "observable": [{"name": "dest", "type": "Hostname", "role": ["Victim"]}], "message": "tbd", "risk_score": 25, "security_domain": "network", "risk_severity": "low", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1021.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "SMB/Windows Admin Shares", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT39", "APT41", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Deep Panda", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "Ke3chang", "Lazarus Group", "Moses Staff", "Orangeworm", "Sandworm Team", "Threat Group-1314", "Turla", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1021", "mitre_attack_technique": "Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Wizard Spider"]}]}, "search": "| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count values(All_Traffic.dest_ip) as dest values(All_Traffic.dest_port) as port from datamodel=Network_Traffic where All_Traffic.dest_port=139 OR All_Traffic.dest_port=445 OR All_Traffic.app=smb by _time span=1h, All_Traffic.src | eval HourOfDay=strftime(_time, \"%H\") | eval DayOfWeek=strftime(_time, \"%A\") | `drop_dm_object_name(All_Traffic)` | apply smb_pdfmodel threshold=0.001 | rename \"IsOutlier(count)\" as isOutlier | search isOutlier > 0 | sort -count | table _time src dest port count | `smb_traffic_spike___mltk_filter` ", "how_to_implement": "To successfully implement this search, you will need to ensure that DNS data is populating the Network_Traffic data model.

The malicious activity includes beaconing to actor controlled infrastructure, deployment of second stage payloads, and, in a small number of cases, hands on keyboard activity. (CrowdStrike)", "narrative": "On March 22, 2023, cybersecurity firm SentinelOne observed a surge in behavioral detections of trojanized 3CXDesktopApp installers, a popular PABX voice and video conferencing software. The multi-stage attack chain, which automatically quarantines trojanized installers, involves downloading ICO files with base64 data from GitHub and eventually leads to a 3rd stage infostealer DLL that is still under analysis. While the Mac installer remains unconfirmed as trojanized, ongoing investigations are also examining other potentially compromised applications, such as Chrome extensions. The threat actor behind the supply chain compromise, which started in February 2022, has used a code signing certificate to sign the trojanized binaries, but connections to existing threat clusters remain unclear. SentinelOne updated their IOCs on March 30th, 2023, with contributions from the research community and continues to monitor the situation for further developments. 3CX identified the vulnerability in the recent versions 18.12.407 and 18.12.416 for the desktop app. A new certificate for the app will also be produced.", "references": ["https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/smoothoperator-ongoing-campaign-trojanizes-3cx-software-in-software-supply-chain-attack/", "https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/03/30/supply-chain-attack-against-3cxdesktopapp", "https://www.reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/comments/125r3uu/20230329_situational_awareness_crowdstrike/", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/crowdstrike-endpoint-security-detection-re-3cx-desktop-app.119934/page-2#post-558898", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/3cx-desktopapp-security-alert.119951/", "https://www.elastic.co/security-labs/elastic-users-protected-from-suddenicon-supply-chain-attack", "https://www.volexity.com/blog/2023/03/30/3cx-supply-chain-compromise-leads-to-iconic-incident/"], "tags": {"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "analytic_story": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1195.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "Cobalt Group", "Dragonfly", "FIN7", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Sandworm Team", "Threat Group-3390"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT33", "APT39", "Evilnum", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Leafminer", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT3", "APT33", "APT37", "Ajax Security Team", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leafminer", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Sandworm Team", "Stealth Falcon", "TA505", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - 3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators - Rule", "ESCU - Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software - Rule", "ESCU - Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}]}, {"name": "IcedID", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2021-07-29", "version": 1, "id": "1d2cc747-63d7-49a9-abb8-93aa36305603", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the IcedID banking trojan, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process injection, shellcode execution and data collection.", "narrative": "IcedId banking trojan campaigns targeting banks and other vertical sectors.This malware is known in Microsoft Windows OS targetting browser such as firefox and chrom to steal banking information.

This story focuses on the abnormal behavior within Kubernetes environments that can be indicative of security threats. Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication, all of which can be exploited by attackers. Observability data, such as metrics, play a crucial role in identifying these abnormal behaviors. These behaviors could be a result of attacks on the control plane, exploitation of misconfigurations, or breaches of containerized applications. For instance, attackers may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes API, misconfigured containers, or insecure network policies. The control plane, which manages cluster operations, is a prime target and its compromise can give attackers control over the entire cluster. Worker nodes, which run the containerized applications, can also be targeted to disrupt services or to gain access to sensitive data.", "references": ["https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/", "https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5247"], "tags": {"name": "Abnormal Kubernetes Behavior using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring", "analytic_story": "Abnormal Kubernetes Behavior using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring", "category": ["Cloud Security"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1204", "mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["LAPSUS$"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Kubernetes Anomalous Inbound Network Activity from Process - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Anomalous Inbound Outbound Network IO - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Anomalous Inbound to Outbound Network IO Ratio - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Anomalous Outbound Network Activity from Process - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Anomalous Traffic on Network Edge - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes newly seen TCP edge - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes newly seen UDP edge - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Previously Unseen Container Image Name - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Process Running From New Path - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Process with Anomalous Resource Utilisation - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Process with Resource Ratio Anomalies - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Shell Running on Worker Node - Rule", "ESCU - Kubernetes Shell Running on Worker Node with CPU Activity - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": ["ESCU - Baseline Of Kubernetes Container Network IO", "ESCU - Baseline Of Kubernetes Container Network IO Ratio", "ESCU - Baseline Of Kubernetes Process Resource", "ESCU - Baseline Of Kubernetes Process Resource Ratio"], "author_company": "Patrick Bareiss, Splunk", "author_name": "Matthew Moore", "detections": [{"name": "Kubernetes Anomalous Inbound Network Activity from Process", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Anomalous Inbound Outbound Network IO", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Anomalous Inbound to Outbound Network IO Ratio", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Anomalous Outbound Network Activity from Process", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Anomalous Traffic on Network Edge", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes newly seen TCP edge", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes newly seen UDP edge", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Previously Unseen Container Image Name", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Process Running From New Path", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Process with Anomalous Resource Utilisation", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Process with Resource Ratio Anomalies", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Shell Running on Worker Node", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}, {"name": "Kubernetes Shell Running on Worker Node with CPU Activity", "source": "cloud", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution"}]}}]}, {"name": "AcidRain", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2022-04-12", "version": 1, "id": "c68717c6-4938-434b-987c-e1ce9d516124", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the acidrain malware including deleting of files and etc. AcidRain is an ELF MIPS malware specifically designed to wipe modems and routers.

"Kerberos, initially named after Cerberus, the three-headed dog in Greek mythology, is a network authentication protocol that allows computers and users to prove their identity through a trusted third-party. This trusted third-party issues Kerberos tickets using symmetric encryption to allow users access to services and network resources based on their privilege level. Kerberos is the default authentication protocol used on Windows Active Directory networks since the introduction of Windows Server 2003. With Kerberos being the backbone of Windows authentication, it is commonly abused by adversaries across the different phases of a breach including initial access, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, lateral movement, etc.\\ This Analytic Story groups detection use cases in which the Kerberos protocol is abused. Defenders can leverage these analytics to detect and hunt for adversaries engaging in Kerberos based attacks.", "references": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol)",

"Detect and investigate tactics, techniques, and procedures around how attackers move laterally within an Active Directory environment. Since lateral movement is often a necessary step in a breach, it is important for cyber defenders to deploy detection coverage.", "narrative": "Once attackers gain a foothold within an enterprise, they will seek to expand their accesses and leverage techniques that facilitate lateral movement. Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation.\\\nIndications of lateral movement in an Active Directory network can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, Service Control Manager, the DCOM protocol, WinRM or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor.\\\nAn adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders.\\\nIf there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. \\\n It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented. Analysts should account for all processes to ensure that the attackers did not install unauthorized software.", "references":

Password Spraying attacks within Active Directory environments.", "narrative": "In a password spraying attack, adversaries leverage one or a small list of commonly used / popular passwords against a large volume of usernames to acquire valid account credentials. Unlike a Brute Force attack that targets a specific user or small group of users with a large number of passwords, password spraying follows the opposite aproach and increases the chances of obtaining valid credentials while avoiding account lockouts. This allows adversaries to remain undetected if the target organization does not have the proper monitoring and detection controls in place.\\\nPassword Spraying can be leveraged by adversaries across different stages in an attack. It can be used to obtain an iniial access to an environment but can also be used to escalate privileges when access has been already achieved. In some scenarios, this technique capitalizes on a security policy most organizations implement, password rotation. As enterprise users change their passwords, it is possible some pick predictable, seasonal passwords such as `$CompanyNameWinter`, `Summer2021`, etc.\\\nSpecifically, this Analytic Story is focused on detecting possible Password Spraying attacks against Active Directory environments leveraging Windows Event Logs in the `Account Logon` and `Logon/Logoff` Advanced Audit Policy categories. It presents 16 detection analytics which can aid defenders in identifying instances where one source user, source host or source process attempts to authenticate against a target or targets using a high or statiscally unsual, number of unique users. A user, host or process attempting to authenticate with multiple users is not common behavior for legitimate systems and should be monitored by security teams. Possible false positive scenarios include but are not limited to vulnerability scanners, remote administration tools, multi-user systems and missconfigured systems. These should be easily spotted when first implementing the detection and addded to an allow list or lookup table. The presented detections can also be used in Threat Hunting exercises.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1110/003/", "https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/04/23/protecting-organization-password-spray-attacks/", "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn452415(v=ws.11)"], "tags": {"name": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "analytic_story": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1110.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Password Spraying", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT33", "Chimera", "HEXANE", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Silent Librarian"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1110", "mitre_attack_technique": "Brute Force", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT38", "APT39", "DarkVishnya", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "Fox Kitten", "HEXANE", "OilRig", "Turla"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities.\\\nActive Directory is a central component of most enterprise networks, providing authentication and authorization services for users, computers, and other resources. It stores sensitive information such as passwords, user accounts, and security policies, and is therefore a high-value target for attackers. Privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory typically involve exploiting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations across the network to gain elevated privileges, such as Domain Administrator access. Once an attacker has escalated their privileges and taken full control of a domain, they can easily move laterally throughout the network, access sensitive data, and carry out further attacks. Security teams should monitor for privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory to identify a breach before attackers achieve operational success.\\\nThe following analytic story groups detection

CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-08-23", "version": 1, "id": "e33e2e38-f9c2-432d-8be6-bc67b92aa82e", "description": "In July 2023, a significant vulnerability, CVE-2023-29298, affecting Adobe ColdFusion was uncovered by Rapid7, shedding light on an access control bypass mechanism. This vulnerability allows attackers to access sensitive ColdFusion Administrator endpoints by exploiting a flaw in the URL path validation. Disturbingly, this flaw can be chained with another critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-26360, which has been actively exploited. The latter enables unauthorized arbitrary code execution and file reading. Adobe has promptly addressed these vulnerabilities, but the intricacies and potential ramifications of their combination underscore the importance of immediate action by organizations. With active exploitation in the wild and the ability to bypass established security measures, the situation is alarming. Organizations are urged to apply the updates provided by Adobe immediately, considering the active threat landscape and the severe implications of these chained vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "Adobe ColdFusion, a prominent application server, has been thrust into the cybersecurity spotlight due to two intertwined vulnerabilities. The first, CVE-2023-29298, identified by Rapid7 in July 2023, pertains to an access control bypass in ColdFusion's security mechanisms. This flaw allows attackers to access protected ColdFusion Administrator endpoints simply by manipulating the URL path, specifically by inserting an additional forward slash.\\ Compounding the threat is the revelation that CVE-2023-29298 can be chained with CVE-2023-26360, another severe ColdFusion vulnerability. This latter vulnerability, which has seen active exploitation, permits unauthorized attackers to execute arbitrary code or read arbitrary files on the affected system. In practice, an attacker could exploit the access control bypass to access sensitive ColdFusion endpoints and subsequently exploit the arbitrary code execution vulnerability, broadening their control and access over the targeted system. \\ The consequences of these vulnerabilities are manifold. Attackers can potentially login to the ColdFusion Administrator with known credentials, bruteforce their way in, leak sensitive information, or exploit other vulnerabilities in the exposed CFM and CFC files. This combination of vulnerabilities significantly heightens the risk profile for organizations using the affected versions of Adobe ColdFusion. \\ Addressing the urgency, Adobe released fixes for these vulnerabilities in July 2023, urging organizations to update to ColdFusion 2023 GA build, ColdFusion 2021 Update 7, and ColdFusion 2018 Update 17. However, Rapid7's disclosure highlights a potential incomplete fix, suggesting that organizations should remain vigilant and proactive in their security measures. \\\nIn conclusion, the discovery of these vulnerabilities and their potential to be exploited in tandem presents a significant security challenge. Organizations using Adobe ColdFusion must prioritize the application of security updates, monitor their systems closely for signs of intrusion, and remain updated on any further developments related to these vulnerabilities.", "references": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb23-25.html", "https://twitter.com/stephenfewer/status/1678881017526886400?s=20", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/07/11/cve-2023-29298-adobe-coldfusion-access-control-bypass", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisa-warns-of-adobe-coldfusion-bug-exploited-as-a-zero-day/"], "tags": {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "analytic_story": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass - Rule", "ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}, {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "AgentTesla", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2022-04-12", "version": 1, "id": "9bb6077a-843e-418b-b134-c57ef997103c", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the AgentTesla malware including .chm application child process, ftp/smtp connection, persistence and many more.

"Detect and investigate activities--such as unusually long `Content-Type` length, suspicious java classes and web servers executing suspicious processes--consistent with attempts to exploit Apache Struts vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "In March of 2017, a remote code-execution vulnerability in the Jakarta Multipart parser in Apache Struts, a widely used open-source framework for creating Java web applications, was disclosed and assigned to CVE-2017-5638. About two months later, hackers exploited the flaw to carry out the world's <a href=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/09/07/nations-biggest-hacks-and-data-breaches-millions/644311001/> 5th largest data breach</a>. The target, credit giant Equifax, <a href=https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/16/technology/equifax-breach-security-hole/index.html>told investigators</a> that it had become aware of the vulnerability two months before the attack. \\\nThe exploit involved manipulating the `Content-Type HTTP` header to execute commands embedded in the header.\\\nThis Analytic Story contains two different searches that help to identify activity that may be related to this issue. The first search looks for characteristics of the `Content-Type` header consistent with attempts to exploit the vulnerability. This should be a relatively pertinent indicator, as the `Content-Type` header is generally consistent and does not have a large degree of variation.\\\nThe second search looks for the execution of various commands typically entered on the command shell when an attacker first lands on a system. These commands are not generally executed on web servers during the course of day-to-day operation, but they may be used when the system is undergoing maintenance or troubleshooting.\\\nFirst, it is helpful is to understand how often the notable event is generated, as well as the commonalities in some of these events. This may help determine whether this is a common occurrence that is of a lesser concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It can also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user or system or is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior illustrated by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to see what other events involving the target have occurred in the recent past. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and (potentially) collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. Information like this can be useful in generating your own threat intelligence to create alerts in the future.\\\nLooking at the country, responsible party, and fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address--as well as the registration information associated with those domain names, if they are frequently visited by others--can help you answer the question of \"who,\" in regard to the external system. Answering that can help qualify the event and may serve useful for tracking. In addition, there are various sources that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining if the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether or not there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect some dots or show other events that should be brought into scope.\\\nGathering various data elements on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine that something suspicious may be happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version to help determine whether or not it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nhen it is suspected there is an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIn the event that a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that have the file open, what processes created and/or modified the file, and the number of systems that may have this file can help to determine if the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes quickly help determine whether it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, there may be activity initiated via a compromised website the user visited.\\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process that is of interest. For example, if it turns out that the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might also be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, reviewing the network connections made around the time of the event and/or if the process spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/blob/v3.2/dev/rules/REQUEST-944-APPLICATION-ATTACK-JAVA.conf"], "tags": {"name": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Suspicious Java Classes - Rule", "ESCU - Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes - Rule", "ESCU - Unusually Long Content-Type Length - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Suspicious Strings in HTTP Header - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Web POSTs From src - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Suspicious Java Classes", "source": "application", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes", "source": "application", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}]}}, {"name": "Unusually Long Content-Type Length", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Asset Tracking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-13", "version": 1, "id": "91c676cf-0b23-438d-abee-f6335e1fce77", "description": "Keep a careful inventory of every asset on your network to make it easier to detect rogue devices.

higher-level permissions on a system or network. Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations or vulnerabilities.\\\nAzure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsofts enterprise cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) service. Azure AD is the backbone of most of Azure services like Office 365 and Microsoft Teams. It can sync with on-premise Active Directory environments and provide authentication to other cloud-based systems via the OAuth protocol. According to Microsoft, Azure AD manages more than 1.2 billion identities and processes over 8 billion authentications per day.\\\nPrivilege escalation attacks in Azure AD typically involve abusing  misconfigurations to gain elevated privileges, such as Global Administrator access. Once an attacker has escalated their privileges and taken full control of a tenant, they may abuse every service that leverages Azure AD including moving laterally to Azure virtual machines to access sensitive data and carry out further attacks. Security teams should monitor for privilege escalation attacks in Azure Active Directory to identify breaches before attackers achieve operational success.\\\nThe following analytic story groups detection opportunities that seek to identify an adversary attempting to escalate privileges in Azure AD tenants.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0003/", "https://cloudbrothers.info/en/azure-attack-paths/", "https://microsoft.github.io/Azure-Threat-Research-Matrix/PrivilegeEscalation/PrivEsc/", "https://posts.specterops.io/azure-privilege-escalation-via-service-principal-abuse-210ae2be2a5"], "tags": {"name": "Azure Active Directory Privilege Escalation", "analytic_story": "Azure Active Directory Privilege Escalation", "category": ["Adversary Tactics", "Account Compromise", "Cloud Security", "Privilege Escalation"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1098.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["LAPSUS$"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1098", "mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT3", "APT41", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1003.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Security Account Manager", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT29", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "GALLIUM", "Ke3chang", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1098.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Credentials", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Authentication"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Azure AD Admin Consent Bypassed by Service Principal - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD Application Administrator Role Assigned - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD Global Administrator Role Assigned - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD PIM Role Assigned - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD PIM Role Assignment Activated - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD Privileged Authentication Administrator Role Assigned - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD Privileged Role Assigned to Service Principal - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD Service Principal New Client Credentials - Rule", "ESCU - Azure AD Service Principal Owner Added - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Mauricio Velazco", "detections": [{"name": "Azure AD Admin Consent Bypassed by Service Principal", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD Application Administrator Role Assigned", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD Global Administrator Role Assigned", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD PIM Role Assigned", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD PIM Role Assignment Activated", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD Privileged Authentication Administrator Role Assigned", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Security Account Manager"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD Privileged Role Assigned to Service Principal", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Roles"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD Service Principal New Client Credentials", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Additional Cloud Credentials"}]}}, {"name": "Azure AD Service Principal Owner Added", "source": "cloud", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Account Manipulation"}]}}]}, {"name": "Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "author": "Shannon Davis, Splunk", "date": "2021-01-27", "version": 1, "id": "817b0dfc-23ba-4bcc-96cc-2cb77e428fbe", "description": "Uncover activity consistent with CVE-2021-3156.

patching them or revoking vulnerable binaries within a reasonable time window hasn't gone unnoticed by threat actors. As a result, the first publicly known UEFI bootkit bypassing the essential platform security feature  UEFI Secure Boot  is now a reality. present the first public analysis of this UEFI bootkit, which is capable of running on even fully-up-to-date Windows 11 systems with UEFI Secure Boot enabled.

Since the initial reporting of this activity in the FBI Liaison Alert System (FLASH) report APT Actors Exploiting Fortinet Vulnerabilities to Gain Access for Malicious Activity from May 2021, the authoring agencies have continued to observe these IRGC-affiliated actors exploiting known vulnerabilities for initial access. In addition to exploiting Fortinet and Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities, the authoring agencies have observed these APT actors exploiting VMware Horizon Log4j vulnerabilities for initial access. The IRGC-affiliated actors have used this access for follow-on activity, including disk encryption and data extortion, to support ransom operations. The IRGC-affiliated actors are actively targeting a broad range of entities, including entities across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors as well as Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom organizations. These actors often operate under the auspices of Najee Technology Hooshmand Fater LLC, based in Karaj, Iran, and Afkar System Yazd Company, based in Yazd, Iran.

This advisory provides observed tactics, techniques, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that the authoring agencies assess are likely associated with this IRGC-affiliated APT.

unusual activities that might be related to the  SVR cyber activity tactics and techniques. While SVR followed a similar playbook in each compromise, they also adjusted to each operating environment and not all presented steps or actions below were executed on every host.", "narrative": "SVR cyber operations pose a persistent threat to public and private organizations' networks globally. Since 2013, cybersecurity companies and governments have reported on SVR operations targeting victim networks to steal confidential and proprietary information. A decade later, the authoring agencies can infer a long-term targeting pattern aimed at collecting, and enabling the collection of, foreign intelligence, a broad concept that for Russia encompasses information on the politics, economics, and military of foreign states; science and technology; and foreign counterintelligence. The SVR also conducts cyber operations targeting technology companies that enable future cyber operations. The SVR's recent operation has targeted networks hosting TeamCity servers, further underscoring its persistent focus on technology companies. By leveraging CVE-2023-42793, a vulnerability within a software development program, the SVR seeks to gain access to victims, potentially compromising numerous software developers' networks. JetBrains responded to this threat by issuing a patch in mid-September 2023, limting the SVR's ability to exploit Internet-accessible TeamCity servers lacking the necessary updates. Despite this mitigation, the SVR has yet to utilize its acquired access to software developers' networks for breaching customer systems. It appears that the SVR is still in the preparatory stages of its operation.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-347a"], "tags": {"name": "CISA AA23-347A",

In June 2023, threat actors utilized this vulnerability to implant a webshell on a NetScaler ADC appliance within a critical infrastructure organization's non-production environment. This action granted them the ability to perform active directory discovery, data collection, and exfiltration. Notably, attempts for lateral movement to a domain controller were obstructed by network-segmentation controls. \\\nThe compromised organization reported the breach, leading Citrix to issue a patch on July 18, 2023. Multiple advisories have since outlined the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including their initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, discovery, collection, command and control, and impact. These advisories also provide detection methods and recommend incident response measures. \\\nThe threat actors executed several activities during their attack, such as uploading a TGZ file with a generic webshell, discovery script, and setuid binary on the ADC appliance; conducting SMB scanning on the subnet; using the webshell for active directory enumeration and data exfiltration; and accessing NetScaler configuration files and decryption keys. They also decrypted an active directory credential, queried the active directory for various information, encrypted collected data, exfiltrated it as an image file, and attempted to erase their artifacts. Despite these actions, further discovery and lateral movement were impeded due to the organization's network-segmentation controls. \\\nAdvisories suggest conducting specific checks on the ADC shell interface to detect signs of compromise. If a compromise is detected, organizations should isolate potentially affected hosts, reimage compromised hosts, provide new account credentials, collect and review artifacts, and report the compromise. To mitigate the threat, organizations are advised to promptly install the relevant updates for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, adhere to cybersecurity best practices, and apply robust network-segmentation controls on NetScaler appliances and other internet-facing devices. \\", "references": ["https://attackerkb.com/topics/si09VNJhHh/cve-2023-3519", "https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-07/aa23-201a_csa_threat_actors_exploiting_citrix-cve-2023-3519_to_implant_webshells.pdf", "https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX561482/citrix-adc-and-citrix-gateway-security-bulletin-for-cve20233519-cve20233466-cve20233467"], "tags": {"name": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "analytic_story": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519 - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519", "source": "web", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix ShareFile RCE CVE-2023-24489", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-07-26", "version": 1, "id": "10c7e01a-5743-4995-99df-a66f6b5db653", "description": "A critical vulnerability has been discovered in ShareFile's Storage Zones Controller software (CVE-2023-24489), used by numerous organizations for file sharing and storage.

It was discovered that this software has a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-24489) in the file upload functionality provided by the Documentum Connector's .aspx files. Specifically, the security flaw lies in the encryption check in the file upload process which could be bypassed, allowing for unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads and remote code execution. \\\nThe application sets the current principal from a session cookie, but if this is missing, the application continues without authentication. The application uses AES encryption, with CBC mode and PKCS#7 padding. A decryption check is in place which returns an error if the decryption fails, but this can be bypassed by supplying a ciphertext that results in valid padding after decryption, thereby not causing an exception. \\\nThe Documentum Connector's upload.aspx file, when uploading a file, calls the ProcessRawPostedFile function, which allows a path traversal due to improper sanitization of the 'uploadId' parameter. It allows the 'filename' and 'uploadId' parameters to be concatenated, and while the 'filename' parameter is sanitized, the 'uploadId' is not. The 'parentid' parameter is passed in but is also not used. \\\nThe vulnerability enables an attacker to upload a webshell or any other malicious file, by providing a properly padded encrypted string for the 'parentid' parameter, and specifying the path for the 'uploadId' and the name for the 'filename'. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by requesting the uploaded file.

The attacks have moved from in-browser exploits and mobile phones to enterprise cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. It's difficult to determine exactly how widespread the practice has become, since bad actors continually evolve their ability to escape detection, including employing unlisted endpoints, moderating their CPU usage, and hiding the mining pool's IP address behind a free CDN. \\\nWhen malicious miners appropriate a cloud instance, often spinning up hundreds of new instances, the costs can become astronomical for the account holder.

While that point is debatable, it is true that attacks against MacOS systems are much less common. However, this fact does not mean that Macs are impervious to breaches. To the contrary, research has shown that that Mac malware is increasing at an alarming rate. According to AV-test, in 2018, there were 86,865 new MacOS malware variants, up from 27,338 the year before&#151;a 31% increase. In contrast, the independent research firm found that new Windows malware had increased from 65.17M to 76.86M during that same period, less than half the rate of growth. The bottom line is that while the numbers look a lot smaller than Windows, it's definitely time to take Mac security more seriously.\\\nThis Analytic Story addresses the ColdRoot remote access trojan (RAT), which was uploaded to Github in 2016, but was still escaping detection by the first quarter of 2018, when a new, more feature-rich variant was discovered masquerading as an Apple audio driver. Among other capabilities, the Pascal-based ColdRoot can heist passwords from users' keychains and remotely control infected machines without detection. In the initial report of his findings, Patrick Wardle, Chief Research Officer for Digita Security, explained that the new ColdRoot RAT could start and kill processes on the breached system, spawn new remote-desktop sessions, take screen captures and assemble them into a live stream of the victim's desktop, and more.\\\nSearches in this Analytic Story leverage the capabilities of OSquery to address ColdRoot detection from several different angles, such as looking for the existence of associated files and processes, and monitoring for signs of an installed keylogger.", "references": ["https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/osxcoldroot-and-the-rat-invasion/", "https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x2A.html", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/coldroot-rat-still-undetectable-despite-being-uploaded-on-github-two-years-ago/"], "tags": {"name": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "analytic_story": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [], "mitre_attack_tactics": [], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": []}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection - Rule", "ESCU - MacOS - Re-opened Applications - Rule", "ESCU - Processes Tapping Keyboard Events - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Network Traffic From src ip - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Jose Hernandez", "detections": [{"name": "Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "MacOS - Re-opened Applications", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Processes Tapping Keyboard Events", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Collection and Staging", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-03", "version": 1, "id": "8e03c61e-13c4-4dcd-bfbe-5ce5a8dc031a", "description": "Monitor for and investigate activities--such as suspicious writes to the Windows Recycling Bin or email servers sending high amounts of traffic to specific hosts, for example--that may indicate that an adversary is harvesting and exfiltrating sensitive data.

In some cases, they leverage this infrastructure for scanning and performing reconnaissance activities. In others, they may use this infrastructure to launch actual attacks. One of the most important functions of this infrastructure is to establish servers that will communicate with implants on compromised endpoints. These servers establish a command and control channel that is used to proxy data between the compromised endpoint and the attacker. These channels relay commands from the attacker to the compromised endpoint and the output of those commands back to the attacker.\\\nBecause this communication is so critical for an adversary, they often use techniques designed to hide the true nature of the communications.

The vulnerability was assigned a 9.8 out of 10 severity score, with Microsoft addressing it in the February Patch Tuesday security updates along with a couple of workarounds. Security researcher Joshua Drake last year discovered the vulnerability in Microsoft Office''s \"wwlib.dll\" and sent Microsoft a technical advisory containing proof-of-concept (PoC) code showing the issue is exploitable. A remote attacker could potentially take advantage of the issue to execute code with the same privileges as the victim that opens a malicious .RTF document.

Key indicators include unexpected members in the 'confluence-administrator' group, newly created user accounts, and specific HTTP requests to /setup/*.action endpoints. Any unusual spikes or patterns associated with these indicators might signify an ongoing or attempted exploitation. \\\nFurthermore, an audit trail of past logs is essential. Analyzing older logs might uncover any unnoticed exploitation, allowing for a post-incident analysis and ensuring affected systems are patched or isolated. An alert mechanism should be established for any access or changes related to /setup/* endpoints. \\\nIn parallel, updating the affected Confluence Server and Data Center versions to the fixed releases is paramount.

It is a zero-day flaw, meaning it was already being exploited before Microsoft became aware of it or had a chance to develop a patch. \\\nAn attacker exploiting this vulnerability would create a Microsoft Office document containing malicious code. This document, when opened by the victim, allows for remote code execution, giving the attacker the ability to run their own code on the victim's machine. This poses a significant risk as the attacker could perform actions like data theft, system damage, or creating backdoors for future access. \\\nCurrently, there is no security patch available from Microsoft, which makes the issue more critical. Microsoft is working on investigating these vulnerabilities and will likely provide a security update either through their monthly release cycle or an out-of-cycle update, based on the urgency. \\\nIn the meantime, users of Microsoft Defender for Office and those utilizing the \"Block all Office applications from creating child processes\" Attack Surface Reduction Rule are protected from attempts to exploit this vulnerability. This is because these protections add an extra layer of security, blocking the malicious code from executing. \\\nFor users who are not using these protections, Microsoft recommends a workaround by adding specific application names to a particular Windows registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BLOCK_CROSS_PROTOCOL_FILE_NAVIGATION) with data set as \"1\".

campaign distributing DarkGate malware. This campaign utilizes stolen email threads to trick users into downloading malicious payloads via hyperlinks. An initial false link to Emotet stirred the security community, but deeper analysis confirmed its true identity as DarkGate, with characteristics like AutoIt scripts and a known command-and-control protocol. This report by Fabian Marquardt details the intricate infection mechanisms, including MSI and VBS file deliveries, sophisticated evasion techniques, and a robust configuration extraction method surpassing current standards. The single developer behind DarkGate, active on cybercrime forums, has shifted the malware's use from private to a rent-out model, implying an expected rise in its deployment. Researchers have also developed a decryption technique for the DarkGate malware, which aids in static analysis and detection, though it requires careful validation to avoid false positives.", "narrative": "Telekom Security CTi has recently put a spotlight on the proliferation of DarkGate malware via a sophisticated malspam campaign, initially mistaken for the notorious Emotet malware. The campaign smartly manipulates stolen email conversations, embedding hyperlinks that, once clicked, activate a malware download. Fabian Marquardt's analysis traces the infection's footprint, revealing a dual delivery mechanism through MSI and VBS files. These files, cloaked in legitimate wrappers or obscured with junk code, ultimately download the malware via embedded scripts. \\\nMarquardt delves into the AutoIt script-based infection, uncovering the calculated use of compiled scripts and base64-encoded data to disguise the execution of malicious shellcode. The subsequent stages of infection exhibit the malware's capability to evade detection, leveraging memory allocation techniques to bypass security measures. Marquardt also explores the loader's function, which decrypts further malicious payloads by interacting with the script's encoded components. \\\nThe analytical narrative captures a cross-section of the cybersecurity landscape, reflecting the shift in DarkGate's operational strategy from exclusive use by the developer to a broader dissemination through a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model. This transition suggests an anticipated escalation in DarkGate-related attacks. \\\nSignificantly, the report contributes to cybersecurity defenses by outlining a more effective method for extracting malware configurations, providing the community with the means to anticipate and mitigate the evolving threats posed by this pernicious malware. With the insights gained, researchers and security professionals are better equipped to adapt their strategies, constructing more robust defenses against the sophisticated tactics employed by DarkGate and similar malware strains.", "references": ["https://github.security.telekom.com/2023/08/darkgate-loader.html", "https://redcanary.com/blog/intelligence-insights-october-2023"], "tags": {"name":

cyber attack. It is a critical phase in many targeted attacks, where adversaries aim to steal confidential information, such as intellectual property, financial records, personal data, or trade secrets.", "narrative": "This Analytic Story supports you to detect Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) leveraged by adversaries to exfiltrate data from your environments. Exfiltration comes in many flavors and its done differently on every environment. Adversaries can collect data over encrypted or non-encrypted channels.  They can utilise Command And Control channels that are already in place to exfiltrate data.  They can use both standard data transfer protocols such as FTP, SCP, etc to exfiltrate data.  Or they can use non-standard protocols such as DNS, ICMP, etc with specially crafted fields to try and circumvent security technologies in place.\\\nTechniques for getting data out of a target network typically include transferring it over their command and control channel or an alternate channel and may also include putting size limits on the transmission. In context of the cloud, this refers to the unauthorized transfer or extraction of sensitive data from cloud-based systems or services. It involves the compromise of cloud infrastructure or accounts to gain access to valuable information stored in the cloud environment. Attackers may employ various techniques, such as exploiting vulnerabilities, stealing login credentials, or using malicious code to exfiltrate data from cloud repositories or services without detection.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0010/", "https://bleemb.medium.com/data-exfiltration-with-native-aws-s3-features-c94ae4d13436",

The attacks have moved from in-browser exploits and mobile phones to enterprise cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's difficult to determine exactly how widespread the practice has become, since bad actors continually evolve their ability to escape detection, including employing unlisted endpoints, moderating their CPU usage, and hiding the mining pool's IP address behind a free CDN. \\\nWhen malicious miners appropriate a cloud instance, often spinning up hundreds of new instances, the costs can become astronomical for the account holder.

Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation. Indications of lateral movement can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, pass-the-hash, or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor. An adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders. If there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented.

This Analytic Story can help you detect attackers who may be abusing your company's DNS infrastructure to launch amplification attacks, causing Denial of Service to other victims.", "narrative": "The Domain Name System (DNS) is the protocol used to map domain names to IP addresses. It has been proven to work very well for its intended function. However if DNS is misconfigured, servers can be abused by attackers to levy amplification or redirection attacks against victims. Because DNS responses to `ANY` queries are so much larger than the queries themselves--and can be made with a UDP packet, which does not require a handshake--attackers can spoof the source address of the packet and cause much more data to be sent to the victim than if they sent the traffic themselves. The `ANY` requests are will be larger than normal DNS server requests, due to the fact that the server provides significant details, such as MX records and associated IP addresses. A large volume of this traffic can result in a DOS on the victim's machine. This misconfiguration leads to two possible victims, the first being the DNS servers participating in an attack and the other being the hosts that are the targets of the DOS attack.\\\nThe search in this story can help you to detect if attackers are abusing your company's DNS infrastructure to launch DNS amplification attacks causing Denial of Service to other victims.", "references": ["https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-088A", "https://www.imperva.com/learn/application-security/dns-amplification/"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "analytic_story": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "category": ["Abuse"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1498", "mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1498.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification"}]}}]}, {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-04", "version": 1, "id": "8169f17b-ef68-4b59-aa28-586907301221", "description": "Secure your environment against DNS hijacks with searches that help you detect and investigate unauthorized changes to DNS records.", "narrative": "Dubbed the Achilles heel of the Internet (see https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/dns-is-still-the-achilles-heel-of-the-internet-25613), DNS plays a critical role in routing web traffic but is notoriously vulnerable to attack. One reason is its distributed nature. It relies on unstructured connections between millions of clients and servers over inherently insecure protocols.\\\nThe gravity and extent of the importance of securing DNS from attacks is undeniable. The fallout of compromised DNS can be disastrous. Not only can hackers bring down an entire business, they can intercept confidential information, emails, and login credentials, as well. \\\nOn January 22, 2019, the US Department of Homeland Security 2019's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) raised awareness of some high-profile DNS hijacking attacks against infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. It issued Emergency Directive 19-01 (see https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/19-01/), which summarized the activity and required government agencies to take the following four actions, all within 10 days: \\\n1. For all .gov or other agency-managed domains, audit public DNS records on all authoritative and secondary DNS servers, verify that they resolve to the intended location or report them to CISA.\\\n1. Update the passwords for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency 2019's DNS records.\\\n1. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency's 2019 DNS records or, if impossible, provide CISA with the names of systems, the reasons why MFA cannot be enabled within the required timeline, and an ETA for when it can be enabled.\\\n1. CISA will begin regular delivery of newly added certificates to Certificate Transparency (CT) logs for agency domains via the Cyber Hygiene service. Upon receipt, agencies must immediately begin monitoring CT log data for certificates issued that they did not request. If an agency confirms that a certificate was unauthorized, it must report the certificate to the issuing certificate authority and to CISA. Of course, it makes sense to put equivalent actions in place within your environment, as well. \\\nIn DNS hijacking, the attacker assumes control over an account or makes use of a DNS service exploit to make changes to DNS records. Once they gain access, attackers can substitute their own MX records, name-server records, and addresses, redirecting emails and traffic through their infrastructure, where they can read, copy, or modify information seen. They can also generate valid encryption certificates to help them avoid browser-certificate checks. In one notable attack on the Internet service provider, GoDaddy, the hackers altered Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records a relatively minor change that did not inflict excessive damage but allowed for more effective spam campaigns.\\\nThe searches in this Analytic Story help you detect and investigate activities that may indicate that DNS hijacking has taken place within your environment.", "references": ["https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/09/apt33-insights-into-iranian-cyber-espionage.html", "https://umbrella.cisco.com/blog/2013/04/15/on-the-trail-of-malicious-dynamic-dns-domains/", "http://www.noip.com/blog/2014/07/11/dynamic-dns-can-use-2/", "https://www.splunk.com/blog/2015/08/04/detecting-dynamic-dns-domains-in-splunk.html"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "analytic_story": "DNS Hijacking", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1048.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exfiltration Over Unencrypted Non-C2 Protocol", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Exfiltration"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT33", "FIN6", "FIN8", "Lazarus Group", "OilRig", "Thrip", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1071.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "DNS", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT39", "APT41", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "FIN7", "Ke3chang", "LazyScripter", "OilRig", "Tropic Trooper"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1568.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Domain Generation Algorithms", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "TA551"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1189", "mitre_attack_technique": "Drive-by Compromise", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Andariel", "Axiom", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Elderwood", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Leviathan", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "PLATINUM", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "RTM", "Threat Group-3390", "Transparent Tribe", "Turla", "Windigo", "Windshift"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control", "Exfiltration", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives", "Command and Control", "Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Apache's AJP protocol vulnerability, designated CVE-2022-26377, relates to AJP request smuggling. Successful exploitation enables unauthorized system activities. F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition exhibited a distinct vulnerability, an authentication bypass in the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), resulting in system compromise. Assigned CVE-2023-46747, this vulnerability also arose from request smuggling, bearing similarity to CVE-2022-26377. Given the wide adoption of both Apache Tomcat and F5 products, these vulnerabilities present grave risks to organizations. Remediation and vulnerability detection mechanisms are essential to address these threats effectively.", "narrative": "Both Apache Tomcat's AJP protocol and F5's BIG-IP Virtual Edition have been exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Apache's CVE-2022-26377 pertains to request smuggling by manipulating the \"Transfer-Encoding\" header. If successfully exploited, this allows attackers to bypass security controls and undertake unauthorized actions. \\\nSimilarly, F5 BIG-IP unveiled an authentication bypass vulnerability, CVE-2023-46747. Originating from the TMUI, this vulnerability leads to full system compromise. While distinct, it shares characteristics with Apache's vulnerability, primarily rooted in request smuggling. This vulnerability drew from past F5 CVEs, particularly CVE-2020-5902 and CVE-2022-1388, both previously exploited in real-world scenarios. These highlighted vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP and Apache Tomcat services, as well as authentication flaws in the F5 BIG-IP API.\\\nNuclei detection templates offer a proactive solution for identifying and mitigating these vulnerabilities. Integrated into vulnerability management frameworks, these templates notify organizations of potential risks, forming a base for further detection strategies. For detection engineers, understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial. Recognizing the mechanisms and effects of request smuggling, especially in Apache's and F5's context, provides a roadmap to effective detection and response.

China, targeting Taiwanese organizations for espionage. The group maintains long-term access to networks with minimal use of malware, relying on built-in OS tools and benign software. The group's activities are primarily focused on Taiwan, but the techniques used could be easily reused in other operations outside the region. Microsoft has not observed Flax Typhoon using this access to conduct additional actions.", "narrative": "Flax Typhoon has been active since mid-2021, targeting government agencies, education, critical manufacturing, and IT organizations in Taiwan. The group uses the China Chopper web shell, Metasploit, Juicy Potato privilege escalation tool, Mimikatz, and SoftEther VPN client. However, they primarily rely on living-off-the-land techniques and hands-on-keyboard activity. Initial access is achieved by exploiting known vulnerabilities in public-facing servers and deploying web shells. Following initial access, Flax Typhoon uses command-line tools to establish persistent access over the remote desktop protocol, deploy a VPN connection to actor-controlled network infrastructure, and collect credentials from compromised systems. The group also uses this VPN access to scan for vulnerabilities on targeted systems and organizations from the compromised systems.", "references":

IAM provides the ability to create and manage GCP users, groups, and roles-each with their own unique set of privileges and defined access to specific resources (such as Compute instances, the GCP Management Console, API, or the command-line interface). Unlike conventional (human) users, IAM roles are potentially assumable by anyone in the organization. They provide users with dynamically created temporary security credentials that expire within a set time period.\\\nIn between the time between when the temporary credentials are issued and when they expire is a period of opportunity, where a user could leverage the temporary credentials to wreak havoc-spin up or remove instances, create new users, elevate privileges, and other malicious activities-throughout the environment.\\\nThis Analytic Story includes searches that will help you monitor your GCP Audit logs logs for evidence of suspicious cross-account activity.  For example, while accessing multiple GCP accounts and roles may be perfectly valid behavior, it may be suspicious when an account requests privileges of an account it has not accessed in the past.

patches for its mail server, Microsoft Exchange. These patches respond to a group of vulnerabilities known to impact Exchange 2013, 2016, and 2019. It is important to note that an Exchange 2010 security update has also been issued, though the CVEs do not reference that version as being vulnerable.\\\nWhile the CVEs do not shed much light on the specifics of the vulnerabilities or exploits, the first vulnerability (CVE-2021-26855) has a remote network attack vector that allows the attacker, a group Microsoft named HAFNIUM, to authenticate as the Exchange server. Three additional vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, and CVE-2021-27065) were also identified as part of this activity. When chained together along with CVE-2021-26855 for initial access, the attacker would have complete control over the Exchange server. This includes the ability to run code as SYSTEM and write to any path on the server.\\\nThe following Splunk detections assist with identifying the HAFNIUM groups tradecraft and methodology.",

hidden shares and file writes, that may be evidence of infiltration by North Korean government-sponsored cybercriminals. Details of this activity were reported in DHS Report TA-18-149A.", "narrative": "North Korea's government-sponsored \"cyber army\" has been slowly building momentum and gaining sophistication over the last 15 years or so. As a result, the group's activity, which the US government refers to as \"Hidden Cobra,\" has surreptitiously crept onto the collective radar as a preeminent global threat.\\\nThese state-sponsored actors are thought to be responsible for everything from a hack on a South Korean nuclear plant to an attack on Sony in anticipation of its release of the movie \"The Interview\" at the end of 2014. They're also notorious for cyberespionage. In recent years, the group seems to be focused on financial crimes, such as cryptojacking.\\\nIn June of 2018, The Department of Homeland Security, together with the FBI and other U.S. government partners, issued Technical Alert (TA-18-149A) to advise the public about two variants of North Korean malware. One variant, dubbed \"Joanap,\" is a multi-stage peer-to-peer botnet that allows North Korean state actors to exfiltrate data, download and execute secondary payloads, and initialize proxy communications. The other variant, \"Brambul,\" is a Windows32 SMB worm that is dropped into a victim network. When executed, the malware attempts to spread laterally within a victim's local subnet, connecting via the SMB protocol and initiating brute-force password attacks. It reports details to the Hidden Cobra actors via email, so they can use the information for secondary remote operations.\\\nAmong other searches in this Analytic Story is a detection search that looks for the creation or deletion of hidden shares, such as, \"adnim$,\" which the Hidden Cobra malware creates on the target system. Another looks for the creation of three malicious files associated with the malware. You can also use a search in this story to investigate activity that indicates that malware is sending email back to the attackers.", "references":

components that run on Internet Information Services (IIS) web servers to establish persistence.", "narrative": "IIS provides several mechanisms to extend the functionality of the web servers. For example, Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extensions and filters can be installed to examine and/or modify incoming and outgoing IIS web requests. Extensions and filters are deployed as DLL files that export three functions - Get{Extension/Filter}Version, Http{Extension/Filter}Proc, and (optionally) Terminate{Extension/Filter}. IIS modules may also be installed to extend IIS web servers.\\\nAdversaries may install malicious ISAPI extensions and filters to observe and/or modify traffic, execute commands on compromised machines, or proxy command and control traffic. ISAPI extensions and filters may have access to all IIS web requests and responses. For example, an adversary may abuse these mechanisms to modify HTTP responses in order to distribute malicious commands/content to previously comprised hosts.\\\nAdversaries may also install malicious IIS modules to observe and/or modify traffic. IIS 7.0 introduced modules that provide the same unrestricted access to HTTP requests and responses as ISAPI extensions and filters. IIS modules can be written as a DLL that exports RegisterModule, or as a .NET application that interfaces with ASP.NET APIs to access IIS HTTP requests.

This flaw has been leveraged in targeted attacks against Norwegian government ministries. In addition, CVE-2023-35081 permits an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to remotely write arbitrary files to the server. \\\nRecently, attention has shifted to CVE-2023-35082, which was initially believed to affect only MobileIron Core 11.2 and below. Subsequent investigations revealed its wider influence, affecting EPMM versions 11.10, 11.9, 11.8, and MobileIron Core 11.7 and earlier. This vulnerability facilitates unauthorized access to the API via the URI path /mifs/asfV3/api/v2/. \\\nWhen combined, these vulnerabilities can be exploited to bypass administrative authentication and access control list (ACL) restrictions, leading to malicious file writing and potential OS command execution. Both have been actively exploited, possibly by state-sponsored actors, prompting urgent advisories from Ivanti and Rapid7, alongside CISA. Given the thousands of potentially vulnerable internet-exposed systems and the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of extensive exploitation escalates. The situation is further muddled by Ivanti's 2020 acquisition of MobileIron, which had its known issues.

The vulnerability was identified shortly after another notable vulnerability in Ivanti EPMM (CVE-2023-35078) was discovered being exploited in the wild. The current vulnerability allows a malicious actor, without requiring authentication, to access the System Manager Portal, typically hosted on port 8443. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker can make configuration alterations to both the Sentry system and its underlying OS. The potential damage is significant, enabling the attacker to execute commands on the system with root privileges. \\\nWhile this vulnerability scored high on the CVSS scale, its risk is relatively mitigated for clients who have not exposed port 8443 to the internet. The primary exploitation vector is the System Manager Portal, an administrative interface for Sentry. \\\nAs of now, definitive indicators of compromise (IoCs) are elusive. However, any unexpected HTTP requests to the endpoint /services/* could be a red flag. It's worth noting that the exploited endpoint might not be the sole vulnerable point, suggesting other potential gateways for attackers.

While the vulnerabilities associated with this story are rather dated, they were leveraged in a spring 2016 campaign in connection with the Samsam ransomware variant. Incidents involving this ransomware are unique, in that they begin with attacks against vulnerable services, rather than the phishing or drive-by attacks more common with ransomware. In this case, vulnerable JBoss applications appear to be the target of choice.\\\nIt is helpful to understand how often a notable event generated by this story occurs, as well as the commonalities between some of these events, both of which may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It may also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or whether it is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior uncovered by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to identify other recent events involving the target. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target host.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and, potentially, collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. This data may be useful for generating your own threat intelligence, so you can create future alerts.\\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin\\\n1. Responsible party\\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address\\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address Determining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you qualify and understand the event and possible motivation for the attack. In addition, there are various sources that may provide reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist you in determining whether the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or expose other historic events that might be brought back into scope.\\\nGathering various data on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have logged into the system recently, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and/or whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version, to help determine whether it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nIf you suspect an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIf a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that opened the file, the processes that may have created and/or modified the file, and how many other systems potentially have this file can you determine whether the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes help you quickly determine if it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if svchost.exe is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. \\\nIt can also be helpful to examine various behaviors of and the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see whether the parent process spawned other processes that might also warrant further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made around the time of the event and noting whether the process has spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["http://www.deependresearch.org/2016/04/jboss-exploits-view-from-victim.html"], "tags": {"name": "JBoss Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "JBoss Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery", "Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers - Rule", "ESCU - Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}]}}, {"name": "Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Jenkins Server Vulnerabilities", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2024-01-29", "version": 1, "id": "789e76e6-4b5e-4af3-ab8c-46578d84ccff", "description": "This analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.", "narrative": "The following analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.

Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication. Attackers may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes API, misconfigured containers, or insecure network policies. The control plane, responsible for managing cluster operations, is a prime target. Compromising this can give attackers control over the entire cluster. Worker nodes, running the containerized applications, can be targeted to disrupt services or to gain access to sensitive data. Common attack vectors include exploiting vulnerabilities in container images, misconfigured role-based access controls (RBAC), exposed Kubernetes dashboards, and insecure network configurations. Attackers can also target the supply chain, injecting malicious code into container images or Helm charts. To mitigate these threats, it is essential to enforce robust security practices such as regular vulnerability scanning, implementing least privilege access, securing the control plane, network segmentation, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities.

"David Dorsey, Splunk", "date": "2017-08-23", "version": 5, "id": "2c8ff66e-0b57-42af-8ad7-912438a403fc", "description": "Attackers are finding stealthy ways \"live off the land,\" leveraging utilities and tools that come standard on the endpoint--such as PowerShell--to achieve their goals without downloading binary files. These searches can help you detect and investigate PowerShell command-line options that may be indicative of malicious intent.", "narrative": "The searches in this Analytic Story monitor for parameters often used for malicious purposes. It is helpful to understand how often the notable events generated by this story occur, as well as the commonalities between some of these events. These factors may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. Likewise, it is important to determine whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or is broader in scope. \\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin \\\n1. Responsible party \\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address \\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address \\\nDetermining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you answer some questions surrounding the attacker and details related to the external system. In addition, there are various sources--such as VirusTotal&#151; that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining whether the event is malicious. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or show other events that should be brought into scope. \\\nGathering data on the system of interest can sometimes help you quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include finding out who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted. \\\nOften, a simple inspection of the process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when cursorily reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, that could be indicative of activity initiated via a compromised website a user visited. \\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made in and around the time of the event and/or whether the process spawned any child processes could be helpful, as well. \\\nIn the event a system is suspected of having been compromised via a malicious website, we suggest reviewing the browsing activity from that system around the time of the event. If categories are given for the URLs visited, that can help you zero in on possible malicious sites. \\\nMost recently we have added new content related to PowerShell Script Block logging, Windows EventCode 4104. Script block logging presents the deobfuscated and raw script executed on an endpoint. The analytics produced were tested against commonly used attack frameworks - PowerShell-Empire, Cobalt Strike and Covenant. In addition, we sampled publicly available samples that utilize PowerShell and validated coverage. The analytics are here to identify suspicious usage, cmdlets, or script values. 4104 events are enabled via the Windows registry and may generate a large volume of data if enabled globally. Enabling on critical systems or a limited set may be best. During triage of 4104 events, review parallel processes for other processes and command executed. Identify any file modifications and network communication and review accordingly. Fortunately, we get the full script to determine the level of threat identified.", "references": ["https://blogs.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/malware-employs-powershell-to-infect-systems/",

those utilities.", "narrative": "Security monitoring and control mechanisms may be in place for system utilities adversaries are capable of abusing. It may be possible to bypass those security mechanisms by renaming the utility prior to utilization (ex: rename rundll32.exe). An alternative case occurs when a legitimate utility is copied or moved to a different directory and renamed to avoid detections based on system utilities executing from non-standard paths.\\\nThe following content is here to assist with binaries within `system32` or `syswow64` being moved to a new location or an adversary bringing a the binary in to execute.\\\nThere will be false positives as some native Windows processes are moved or ran by third party applications from different paths. If file names are mismatched between the file name on disk and that of the binarys PE metadata, this is a likely indicator that a binary was renamed after it was compiled. Collecting and comparing disk and resource filenames for binaries by looking to see if the InternalName, OriginalFilename, and or ProductName match what is expected could provide useful leads, but may not always be indicative of malicious activity. Do not focus on the possible names a file could have, but instead on the command-line arguments that are known to be used and are distinct because it will have a better rate of detection.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1036/003/"], "tags": {"name": "Masquerading -

Because it is an open-source framework, it can be easily customized and used with most operating systems.\\\nThe Metasploit Project was undertaken in 2003 by H.D. Moore for use as a Perl-based portable network tool, with assistance from core developer Matt Miller. It was fully converted to Ruby by 2007, and the license was acquired by Rapid7 in 2009, where it remains as part of the Boston-based company repertoire of IDS signature development and targeted remote exploit, fuzzing, anti-forensic, and evasion tools.\\\nPortions of these other tools reside within the Metasploit framework, which is built into the Kali Linux OS. Rapid7 has also developed two proprietary OpenCore tools, Metasploit Pro, Metasploit Express.\\\nThis framework has become the go-to exploit development and mitigation tool. Prior to Metasploit, pen testers had to perform all probes manually by using a variety of tools that may or may not have supported the platform they were testing, writing their own code by hand, and introducing it onto networks manually. Remote testing was virtually unheard of, and that limited a security specialist reach to the local area and companies spending a fortune on in-house IT or security consultants. (ref.

It also leverages encrypted communication channels.\\\nMeterpreter enables the operator to remotely run commands on the target machine, upload payloads, download files, dump password hashes, and much more.  It is difficult to determine from the forensic evidence what actions the operator performed.  Splunk Research, however, has observed anomalous behaviors on the compromised hosts that seem to only appear when Meterpreter is executing various commands.

CVE-2021-40444 received a CVSS score of 8.8 out of 10. MSHTML is the beating heart of Internet Explorer, the vulnerability also exists in that browser. Although given its limited use, there is little risk of infection by that vector. Microsoft Office applications use the MSHTML component to display web content in Office documents. The attack depends on MSHTML loading a specially crafted ActiveX control when the target opens a malicious Office document. The loaded ActiveX control can then run arbitrary code to infect the system with more malware. At the moment all supported Windows versions are vulnerable. Since there is no patch available yet, Microsoft proposes a few methods to block these attacks. \\\n1. Disable the installation of all ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer via the registry. Previously-installed ActiveX controls will still run, but no new ones will be added, including malicious ones. Open documents from the Internet in Protected View or Application Guard for Office, both of which prevent the current attack.

A patch is currently released.", "narrative": "Hackers have been actively exploiting a zero-day vulnerability found in the MOVEit Transfer software. This software, developed by Progress Software Corporation, a US-based company and its subsidiary Ipswitch, is a managed file transfer solution. It is used by thousands of organizations worldwide, including Chase, Disney, GEICO, and MLB, and by 3.5 million developers. The software allows for secure file transfers between business partners and customers using SFTP, SCP, and HTTP-based uploads.\\\nThe zero-day vulnerability has been exploited to steal data on a large scale from various organizations. The identity of the threat actors and the exact timeline of the exploitation remains unclear. However, it has been confirmed that multiple organizations have experienced breaches and data theft.\\\nIn response to this critical situation, Progress released a security advisory warning customers of the vulnerability and providing mitigation strategies while a patch has been released. They urged customers to take immediate action to protect their MOVEit environments. They suggested blocking external traffic to ports 80 and 445 on the MOVEit server and checking the c:\\MOVEitTransfer\\wwwroot\\ folder for unexpected files, including backups or large file downloads.\\\nBlocking these ports will prevent external access to the web UI, prevent some MOVEit Automation tasks from working, block APIs, and prevent the Outlook MOVEit plugin from working. However, SFTP and FTP/s protocols can continue to be used for file transfers.\\\nThere is currently no detailed information about the zero-day vulnerability. But based on the ports blocked and the specific location to check for unusual files, the flaw is likely a web-facing vulnerability.\\\nWhile Progress has officially confirmed that the vulnerability is being actively exploited, it is clear from several reports that multiple organizations have already had data stolen using this zero-day vulnerability. The exploitation appears very similar to the mass exploitation of a GoAnywhere MFT zero-day in January 2023 and the December 2020 zero-day exploitation of Accellion FTA servers.

Blizzard, is a sophisticated nation-state threat actor, reportedly associated with Russian intelligence. Active since at least 2008, this group primarily targets government networks in Europe and NATO member countries, along with research institutes and think tanks. Their operations typically involve advanced persistent threats (APT), leveraging techniques like spear-phishing, malware deployment, and long-term network compromise to achieve information theft and espionage. Notably, APT29 has been implicated in significant cyber espionage incidents, including the 2015 breach of the Pentagon's Joint Staff email system and attacks on the Democratic National Committee in 2016.

This only affects OpenSSL 3.0.0 - 3.0.6.", "narrative": "A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint checking. Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed a malicious certificate or for an application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address in a certificate to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the . character (decimal 46) on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service). In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests client authentication and a malicious client connects. Users of OpenSSL 3.0.0 - 3.0.6 are encouraged to upgrade to 3.0.7 as soon as possible. If you obtain your copy of OpenSSL from your Operating System vendor or other third party then you should seek to obtain an updated version from them as soon as possible. SSL Certificates with Punycode will identify SSL certificates with Punycode. Note that it does not mean it will capture malicious payloads.

This remote access Trojan (RAT), first unveiled in 2012, is not your run-of-the-mill malware. It's the go-to tool for sophisticated hackers with one goal in mind, espionage. PlugX's repertoire of capabilities reads like a spy thriller. It doesn't just breach your defenses; it goes a step further, slipping quietly into your systems, much like a ghost. Once inside, it opens the door to a world of possibilities for cybercriminals. With a few keystrokes, they can access your data, capture your screen, and silently watch your every move. In the hands of skilled hackers, it's a versatile instrument for cyber espionage. This malware thrives on persistence. It's not a one-time hit; it's in it for the long haul.

for suspicious behaviors that resemble the techniques employed by the MUDCARP threat group.", "narrative": "This story was created as a joint effort between iDefense and Splunk.\\\niDefense analysts have recently discovered a Windows executable file that, upon execution, spoofs a decryption tool and then drops a file that appears to be the custom-built javascript backdoor, \"Orz,\" which is associated with the threat actors known as MUDCARP (as well as \"temp.Periscope\" and \"Leviathan\"). The file is executed using Wscript.\\\nThe MUDCARP techniques include the use of the compressed-folders module from Microsoft, zipfldr.dll, with RouteTheCall export to run the malicious process or command. After a successful reboot, the malware is made persistent by a manipulating `[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run]'help'='c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\rundll32.exe c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall c:\\\\programdata\\\\winapp.exe'`. Though this technique is not exclusive to MUDCARP, it has been spotted in the group's arsenal of advanced techniques seen in the wild.\\\nThis Analytic Story searches for evidence of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that allow for the use of a endpoint detection-and-response (EDR) bypass technique to mask the true parent of a malicious process. It can also be set as a registry key for further sandbox evasion and to allow the malware to launch only after reboot.\\\nIf behavioral searches included in this story yield positive hits, iDefense recommends conducting IOC searches for the following:\\\n\\\n1. www.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. about.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autoconfig.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autodiscover.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. catalog.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. cpanel.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. db.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. ftp.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. mail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. news.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. update.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. webmail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. www.candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. newapp.freshasianews[.]comIn addition, iDefense also recommends that organizations review their environments for activity related to the following hashes:\\\n\\\n1. cd195ee448a3657b5c2c2d13e9c7a2e2\\\n1. b43ad826fe6928245d3c02b648296b43\\\n1. 889a9b52566448231f112a5ce9b5dfaf\\\n1. b8ec65dab97cdef3cd256cc4753f0c54\\\n1. 04d83cd3813698de28cfbba326d7647c", "references": ["https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/scope-of-mudcarp-attacks-highlight-1/", "http://blog.amossys.fr/badflick-is-not-so-bad.html"], "tags": {"name": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "analytic_story": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "PowerShell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "CopyKittens", "DarkHydrus", "DarkVishnya", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Gallmaker", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Indrik Spider", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MoustachedBouncer", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Poseidon Group", "Sandworm Team", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TA459", "TA505", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Thrip", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "WIRTE", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Windows Command Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT1", "APT18", "APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "Higaisa", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Silence", "Sowbug", "Suckfly", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-1314", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059", "mitre_attack_technique": "Command and Scripting Interpreter", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT32", "APT37", "APT39", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "Ke3chang", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Whitefly", "Windigo"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547", "mitre_attack_technique": "Boot or Logon Autostart Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

hostage until the victim pays the attacker a ransom. There are many types and varieties of ransomware that can affect an enterprise. Attackers can deploy ransomware to enterprises through spearphishing campaigns and driveby downloads, as well as through traditional remote service-based exploitation. In the case of the WannaCry campaign, there was self-propagating wormable functionality that was used to maximize infection. Fortunately, organizations can apply several techniques--such as those in this Analytic Story--to detect and or mitigate the effects of ransomware.", "references":

Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare and Public Health Sector. This alert details TTPs associated with ongoing and possible imminent attacks against the Healthcare sector, and is a joint advisory in coordination with other U.S. Government agencies. The objective of these malicious campaigns is to infiltrate targets in named sectors and to drop ransomware payloads, which will likely cause disruption of service and increase risk of actual harm to the health and safety of patients at hospitals, even with the aggravant of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This document specifically refers to several crimeware exploitation frameworks, emphasizing the use of Ryuk ransomware as payload. The Ryuk ransomware payload is not new. It has been well documented and identified in multiple variants. Payloads need a carrier, and for Ryuk it has often been exploitation frameworks such as Cobalt Strike, or popular crimeware frameworks such as Emotet or Trickbot.", "references":

The malicious software has affected and continues to affect thousands of victims and has raised almost $6M in ransom.\\\nAlthough categorized under the heading of ransomware, SamSam campaigns have some importance distinguishing characteristics. Most notable is the fact that conventional ransomware is a numbers game. Perpetrators use a \"spray-and-pray\" approach with phishing campaigns or other mechanisms, charging a small ransom (typically under $1,000). The goal is to find a large number of victims willing to pay these mini-ransoms, adding up to a lucrative payday. They use relatively simple methods for infecting systems.\\\nSamSam attacks are different beasts. They have become progressively more targeted and skillful than typical ransomware attacks. First, malicious actors break into a victim's network, surveil it, then run the malware manually. The attacks are tailored to cause maximum damage and the threat actors usually demand amounts in the tens of thousands of dollars.\\\nIn a typical attack on one large healthcare organization in 2018, the company ended up paying a ransom of four Bitcoins, then worth $56,707. Reports showed that access to the company's files was restored within two hours of paying the sum.\\\nAccording to Sophos, SamSam previously leveraged  RDP to gain access to targeted networks via brute force. SamSam is not spread automatically, like other malware. It requires skill because it forces the attacker to adapt their tactics to the individual environment. Next, the actors escalate their privileges to admin level. They scan the networks for worthy targets, using conventional tools, such as PsExec or PaExec, to deploy/execute, quickly encrypting files.\\\nThis Analytic Story includes searches designed to help detect and investigate signs of the SamSam ransomware, such as the creation of fileswrites to system32, writes with tell-tale extensions, batch files written to system32, and evidence of brute-force attacks via RDP.", "references": ["https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/an-in-depth-analysis-of-samsam-ransomware-and-boss-spider/",

technique T1053 refers to Scheduled Task/Job. Adversaries might use task scheduling utilities to execute programs or scripts at a predefined date and time. This method is often used for persistence but can also be used for privilege escalation or to execute tasks under certain conditions. Scheduling tasks can be beneficial for an attacker as it can allow them to execute actions at times when the system is less likely to be monitored actively. Different operating systems have different utilities for task scheduling, for example, Unix-like systems have Cron, while Windows has Scheduled Tasks and At Jobs.", "narrative": "MITRE ATT&CK technique T1053, labeled \"Scheduled Task/Job\", is a categorization of methods that adversaries use to execute malicious code by scheduling tasks or jobs on a system. This technique is widely utilized for persistence, privilege escalation, and the remote execution of tasks. The technique is applicable across various environments and platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.\\\nThe technique consists of multiple sub-techniques, each highlighting a distinct mechanism for scheduling tasks or jobs. These sub-techniques include T1053.001 (Scheduled Task), T1053.002 (At for Windows), T1053.003 (Cron), T1053.004 (Launchd), T1053.005 (At for Linux), and T1053.006 (Systemd Timers).\\\nScheduled Task (T1053.001) focuses on adversaries' methods for scheduling tasks on a Windows system to maintain persistence or escalate privileges. These tasks can be set to execute at specified times, in response to particular events, or after a defined time interval.\\\nThe At command for Windows (T1053.002) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Windows system. Adversaries may exploit this command to execute programs at system startup or at a predetermined schedule for persistence.\\\nCron (T1053.003) is a built-in job scheduler found in Unix-like operating systems. Adversaries can use cron jobs to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nLaunchd (T1053.004) is a service management framework present in macOS. Adversaries may utilize launchd to maintain persistence on macOS systems by setting up daemons or agents to execute at specific times or in response to defined events.\\\nThe At command for Linux (T1053.005) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Linux system. Adversaries can use this command to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nSystemd Timers (T1053.006) offer a means of scheduling tasks on Linux systems using systemd. Adversaries can use systemd timers to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nDetection and mitigation strategies vary for each sub-technique. For instance, monitoring the creation of scheduled tasks or looking for uncorrelated changes to tasks that do not align with known software or patch cycles can be effective for detecting malicious activity related to this technique. Mitigation strategies may involve restricting permissions and applying application control solutions to prevent adversaries from scheduling tasks.", "references":

To conduct operations using this tool, the FSB created a covert peer-to-peer (P2P) network of numerous Snake-infected computers worldwide. Many systems in this P2P network serve as relay nodes which route disguised operational traffic to and from Snake implants on the FSB's ultimate targets. Snake's custom communications protocols employ encryption and fragmentation for confidentiality and are designed to hamper detection and collection efforts. We consider Snake to be the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool in the FSB's arsenal. The sophistication of Snake stems from three principal areas. First, Snake employs means to achieve a rare level of stealth in its host components and network communications. Second, Snake's internal technical architecture allows for easy incorporation of new or replacement components. This design also facilitates the development and interoperability of Snake instances running on different host operating systems. We have observed interoperable Snake implants for Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Lastly, Snake demonstrates careful software engineering design and implementation, with the implant containing surprisingly few bugs given its complexity.

Active Directory is a centralized and hierarchical database that stores information about users, computers, and other resources on a network. It provides secure and efficient management of these resources and enables administrators to enforce security policies and delegate administrative tasks.\\\nIn 2015 Active Directory security researcher Sean Metcalf published a blog post titled `Sneaky Active Directory Persistence Tricks`. In this blog post, Sean described several methods through which an attacker could persist administrative access on an Active Directory network after having Domain Admin level rights for a short period of time. At the time of writing, 8 years after the initial blog post, most of these techniques are still possible since they abuse legitimate administrative functionality and not software vulnerabilities. Security engineers defending Active Directory networks should be aware of these technique available to adversaries post exploitation and deploy both preventive and detective security controls for them.\\\nThis analytic story groups detection opportunities for most of the techniques described on Seans blog post as well as other high impact attacks against Active Directory networks and Domain Controllers like DCSync and DCShadow. For some of these detection opportunities, it is necessary to enable the necessary GPOs and SACLs required, otherwise the event codes will not trigger.

simplicity, phishing remains the most pervasive and dangerous cyberthreat. In fact, research shows that as many as [91% of all successful attacks](https://digitalguardian.com/blog/91-percent-cyber-attacks-start-phishing-email-heres-how-protect-against-phishing) are initiated via a phishing email. \\\nAs most people know, these emails use fraudulent domains, [email scraping](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), familiar contact names inserted as senders, and other tactics to lure targets into clicking a malicious link, opening an attachment with a [nefarious payload](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), or entering sensitive personal information that perpetrators may intercept. This attack technique requires a relatively low level of skill and allows adversaries to easily cast a wide net. Worse, because its success relies on the gullibility of humans, it's impossible to completely \"automate\" it out of your environment.

An example is Microsoft Office files. Most corporate users are familiar with documents with the following suffixes: .doc/.docx (MS Word), .xls/.xlsx (MS Excel), and .ppt/.pptx (MS PowerPoint), so they may click without a second thought, slashing a hole in their organizations' security. \\\nFollowing is a typical series of events, according to an [article by Trend Micro](https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/rising-trend-attackers-using-lnk-files-download-malware/):\\\n1.

This technique involves modifying the Dll and FuncName Registry values that point to the dynamic link library (DLL) providing a SIP's function, which retrieves an encoded digital certificate from a signed file. By pointing to a maliciously-crafted DLL with an exported function that always returns a known good signature value, an adversary can apply an acceptable signature value to all files using that SIP. This can also enable persistent code execution, since these malicious components may be invoked by any application that performs code signing or signature validation.", "narrative": "In user mode, Windows Authenticode digital signatures are used to verify a file's origin and integrity, variables that may be used to establish trust in signed code. The signature validation process is handled via the WinVerifyTrust application programming interface (API) function, which accepts an inquiry and coordinates with the appropriate trust provider, which is responsible for validating parameters of a signature. Because of the varying executable file types and corresponding signature formats, Microsoft created software components called Subject Interface Packages (SIPs) to provide a layer of abstraction between API functions and files. SIPs are responsible for enabling API functions to create, retrieve, calculate, and verify signatures. Unique SIPs exist for most file formats and are identified by globally unique identifiers (GUIDs).

Text4shell, similar to the old Spring4Shell and Log4Shell, was originally reported by Alvaro Munoz on the very popular Apache Commons Text library.", "narrative": "Apache Commons Text is a Java library described as \"a library focused on algorithms working on strings.\" We can see it as a general-purpose text manipulation toolkit. This vulnerability affects the StringSubstitutor interpolator class, which is included in the Commons Text library. A default interpolator allows for string lookups that can lead to Remote Code Execution. This is due to a logic flaw that makes the \"script,\" \"dns,\" and \"url\" lookup keys interpolated by default, as opposed to what it should be, according to the documentation of the StringLookupFactory class. Those keys allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via lookups. In order to exploit the vulnerabilities, the following requirements must be met - Run a version of Apache Commons Text from version 1.5 to 1.9 and use the StringSubstitutor interpolator. It is important to specify that the StringSubstitutor interpolator is not as widely used as the string substitution in Log4j, which led to Log4Shell. According to the CVSSv3 system, it scores 9.8 as CRITICAL severity. The severity is Critical due to the easy exploitability and huge potential impact in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As we showed in the previous section, you can take full control over the vulnerable system with a crafted request. However, it is not likely the vulnerabilities will have the same impacts as the previous Log4Shell and Spring4Shell.", "references": ["https://sysdig.com/blog/cve-2022-42889-text4shell/"], "tags":

This software is widely used for intelligent operations management across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, so a vulnerability in it poses a significant risk to many organizations.\\\nThis particular vulnerability lies in the application's Apache Thrift RPC interface. The exploit allows an attacker to inject commands that are executed with root privileges, leading to a potential total compromise of the system. The attacker does not need to be authenticated, which further increases the risk posed by this vulnerability.\\\nThe exploit operates by sending a specially crafted payload to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint. This payload contains a reverse shell command, which, when executed, allows the attacker to remotely control the victim's system. This control is obtained at the root level, providing the attacker with the ability to perform any action on the system.\\\nWhat makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous is its high severity score of 9.8, indicating it is a critical threat. It's also noteworthy that the exploitation of this vulnerability leaves specific indicators such as abnormal traffic to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint and suspicious ncat commands in network traffic, which can help in its detection.\\\nVMware has acknowledged the vulnerability and has published a security advisory recommending that users update to the latest version of the software. This update effectively patches the vulnerability and protects systems from this exploit. It's crucial that all users of the affected versions of VMware's vRealize Network Insight promptly apply the update to mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2023-20887.", "references": ["https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20887", "https://summoning.team/blog/vmware-vrealize-network-insight-rce-cve-2023-20887/", "https://viz.greynoise.io/tag/VMware-aria-operations-for-networks-rce-attempt?days=30", "https://github.com/sinsinology/CVE-2023-20887"], "tags": {"name": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "analytic_story": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1210", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "MuddyWater", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1068", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT33", "BITTER", "Cobalt Group", "FIN6", "FIN8", "LAPSUS$", "MoustachedBouncer", "PLATINUM", "Scattered Spider", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Whitefly", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Lateral Movement", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}]}, {"name": "VMware Server Side Injection and Privilege Escalation", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2022-05-19", "version": 1, "id": "d6d51cc2-a092-43b7-9f61-1159943afe39", "description": "Recently disclosed CVE-2022-22954 and CVE-2022-22960 have been identified in the wild abusing VMware products to compromise internet faced devices and escalate privileges.", "narrative": "On April 6, 2022, VMware published VMSA-2022-0011, which discloses multiple vulnerabilities discovered by Steven Seeley (mr_me) of Qihoo 360 Vulnerability Research Institute.

This analytic story looks for suspicious process execution, command-line activity, downloads, persistence, defense evasion and more.", "narrative": "Warzone RAT, also known as Ave Maria, is a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT) that surfaced in January 2019. Originally offered as malware-as-a-service (MaaS), it rapidly gained notoriety and became one of the most prominent malware strains by 2020. Its exceptional capabilities in stealth and anti-analysis techniques make it a formidable threat in various campaigns, including those targeting sensitive geopolitical entities. The malware's impact is particularly concerning as it has been associated with attacks aimed at compromising government employees and military personnel, notably within India's National Informatics Centre (NIC). Its deployment by several advanced persistent threat (APT) groups further underlines its potency and adaptability in the hands of skilled threat actors. Warzone RAT's capabilities enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to targeted systems, facilitating data theft, surveillance, and the potential to wreak havoc on critical infrastructures. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures are crucial in defending against such malicious tools.\" This version provides more context and elaborates on the malware's capabilities and potential impact. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity measures to combat such threats effectively.", "references":

Bootkits reside at a layer below the operating system and may make it difficult to perform full remediation unless an organization suspects one was used and can act accordingly.", "narrative": "A bootkit is a sophisticated type of malware that targets the boot sectors of a hard drive, specifically the Master Boot Record (MBR) and Volume Boot Record (VBR). The MBR is the initial section of the disk that is loaded following the hardware initialization process executed by the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). It houses the boot loader, which is responsible for loading the operating system. In contrast, the VBR is located at the beginning of each partition and contains the boot code for that specific partition. When an adversary gains raw access to the boot drive, they can overwrite the MBR or VBR, effectively diverting the execution during startup from the standard boot loader to the malicious code injected by the attacker. This tampering allows the malware to load before the operating system, enabling it to execute malicious activities stealthily and maintain persistence on the compromised system. Bootkits are particularly dangerous because they can bypass security measures implemented by the operating system and antivirus software. Since they load before the operating system, they can easily evade detection and manipulate the system's behavior from the earliest stages of the boot process. This capability makes bootkits a potent tool in an attacker's arsenal for gaining unauthorized access, stealing sensitive information, or launching further attacks on other systems. To defend against bootkit attacks, organizations should implement multiple layers of security, including strong endpoint protection, regular software updates, user awareness training, and monitoring for unusual system behavior. Additionally, hardware-based security features, such as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot and Trusted Platform Module (TPM), can help protect the integrity of the boot process and reduce the risk of bootkit infections.", "references": ["https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/04/11/guidance-for-investigating-attacks-using-cve-2022-21894-the-blacklotus-campaign/", "https://www.welivesecurity.com/2023/03/01/blacklotus-uefi-bootkit-myth-confirmed/"], "tags": {"name": "Windows BootKits", "analytic_story": "Windows BootKits", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1542.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1542", "mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Windows BootLoader Inventory - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Registry BootExecute Modification - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Windows BootLoader Inventory", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Registry BootExecute Modification", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Certificate Services", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-01", "version": 1, "id": "b92b4ac7-0026-4408-a6b5-c1d20658e124", "description": "Adversaries may steal or forge certificates used for authentication to access remote systems or resources.

Authentication certificates can be both stolen and forged. For example, AD CS certificates can be stolen from encrypted storage (in the Registry or files), misplaced certificate files (i.e. Unsecured Credentials), or directly from the Windows certificate store via various crypto APIs.With appropriate enrollment rights, users and/or machines within a domain can also request and/or manually renew certificates from enterprise certificate authorities (CA). This enrollment process defines various settings and permissions associated with the certificate. Abusing certificates for authentication credentials may enable other behaviors such as Lateral Movement. Certificate-related misconfigurations may also enable opportunities for Privilege Escalation, by way of allowing users to impersonate or assume privileged accounts or permissions via the identities (SANs) associated with a certificate. These abuses may also enable Persistence via stealing or forging certificates that can be used as Valid Accounts for the duration of the certificate's validity, despite user password resets. Authentication certificates can also be stolen and forged for machine accounts.

First, it must have a valid signature. Second, typically it should load from the windows\\system32\\drivers path. There are a few methods to investigate drivers in the environment. Drivers are noisy. An inventory of all drivers is important to understand prevalence. A driver location (Path) is also important when attempting to baseline. Looking at a driver name and path is not enough, we must also explore the signing information. Product, description, company name, signer and signing result are all items to take into account when reviewing drivers. What makes a driver malicious? Depending if a driver was dropped during a campaign or you are baselining drivers after, triaging a driver to determine maliciousness may be tough. We break this into two categories - 1. vulnerable drivers 2. driver rootkits. Attempt to identify prevelance of the driver. Is it on one or many? Review the signing information if it is present.

Multiple binaries were dropped onto the system via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), some of which were flagged as potential exploits for a known vulnerability. However, a string containing the Russian term for \"0day\" suggested an unknown vulnerability was at play. Subsequent investigations identified this as a zero-day vulnerability affecting the Windows Error Reporting (WER) component, now known as CVE-2023-36874. \\\nThe WER service's function is to report software issues on Windows hosts. The exploit centered around manipulating the WER service by redirecting file systems to execute attacker-controlled code with elevated privileges. This was achieved by creating a symbolic link redirection from the C:\\ drive to an attacker-controlled directory, and then triggering certain WER functions. Consequently, an unauthorized executable was run instead of the legitimate one, giving the attacker high-level access. \\\nThe observed exploit kit's primary objective was to initiate a privileged interpreter, such as cmd.exe or powershell_ise.exe. If this couldn't be achieved, a privileged scheduled task was created as an alternative. The exploit kit showcased a range of binaries, some packed and others not, some in C++ and others in pure C. This diversity suggests the knowledge of the vulnerability was likely shared among different developers. \\\nCrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations, as of now, hasn't linked this activity to any specific threat actor.

Some of the malicious behaviors involved may include inserting spaces before file extensions or prepending the file extension with a different one, among other techniques.", "narrative": "Attackers use a variety of techniques to entice users to run malicious code or to persist on an endpoint. One way to accomplish these goals is to leverage file extensions and the mechanism Windows uses to associate files with specific applications. \\\n Since its earliest days, Windows has used extensions to identify file types. Users have become familiar with these extensions and their application associations. For example, if users see that a file ends in `.doc` or `.docx`, they will assume that it is a Microsoft Word document and expect that double-clicking will open it using `winword.exe`. The user will typically also presume that the `.docx` file is safe. \\\n Attackers take advantage of this expectation by obfuscating the true file extension. They can accomplish this in a couple of ways. One technique involves inserting multiple spaces in the file name before the extension to hide the extension from the GUI, obscuring the true nature of the file. Another approach involves prepending the real extension with a different one. This is especially effective when Windows is configured to \"hide extensions for known file types.\" In this case, the real extension is not displayed, but the prepended one is, leading end users to believe the file is a different type than it actually is.\\\nChanging the association between a file extension and an application can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The technique typically involves changing the association for an often-launched file type to associate instead with a malicious program the attacker has dropped on the endpoint. When the end user launches a file that has been manipulated in this way, it will execute the attacker's malware. It will also execute the application the end user expected to run, cleverly obscuring the fact that something suspicious has occurred.\\\nRun the searches in this story to detect and investigate suspicious behavior that may indicate abuse or manipulation of Windows file extensions and/or associations.", "references": ["https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2013/12/file-extensions-2/", "https://attack.mitre.org/wiki/Technique/T1042"], "tags": {"name": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "analytic_story": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1036.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "GALLIUM", "Lazarus Group", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1546.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Kimsuky"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1036", "mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT32", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Kimsuky", "LazyScripter", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Windshift", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension - Rule", "ESCU - Suspicious Changes to File Associations - Rule", "ESCU - Execution of File with Multiple Extensions - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Parent Process Info - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Process Info - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}, {"name": "Suspicious Changes to File Associations", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association"}]}}, {"name": "Execution of File with Multiple Extensions", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Log Manipulation", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-12", "version": 2, "id": "b6db2c60-a281-48b4-95f1-2cd99ed56835", "description": "Adversaries often try to cover their tracks by manipulating Windows logs.

Even if no malicious activity is detected, the knowledge of an attempt to manipulate system logs may be indicative of a broader security risk that should be thoroughly investigated.\\\nThe Analytic Story gives users two different ways to detect manipulation of Windows Event Logs and one way to detect deletion of the Update Sequence Number (USN) Change Journal.

This vulnerability was exploited by cybercriminals to craft ZIP archives containing malicious and non-malicious files, distributed on specialized trading forums. The exploit allowed them to spoof file extensions, hiding the launch of malicious scripts within an archive masquerading as a '.jpg', '.txt', or any other file format. When victims opened the specially crafted archive, it executed the malware, leading to unauthorized access to their broker accounts and enabling the cybercriminals to perform illicit financial transactions and withdraw funds. \\\nThe vulnerability was discovered while researching the spread of DarkMe malware, a VisualBasic spy Trojan attributed to the financially motivated group, Evilnum. The malware was distributed alongside other malware families, such as GuLoader and Remcos RAT, via malicious ZIP archives posted on popular trading forums or distributed via file-sharing services. Despite efforts by forum administrators to warn users and disable threat actors' accounts, the cybercriminals continued to spread the malicious files, compromising devices, and leading to financial losses. \\\nGroup-IB immediately notified RARLAB about the vulnerability, and they promptly responded by issuing a patch. The beta version of the patch was released on July 20, 2023, and the final updated version, WinRAR 6.23, was released on August 2, 2023. Group-IB recommends all users install the latest version of WinRAR to mitigate the risk of exploitation. \\\nIn conclusion, the exploitation of the CVE-2023-38831 vulnerability highlights the constant risks associated with software vulnerabilities and the importance of remaining vigilant, keeping systems updated, and following security guidelines to avoid falling victim to such attacks. Collaboration between security researchers and software developers is essential to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, making it harder for cybercriminals to exploit them.", "references": ["https://www.group-ib.com/blog/cve-2023-38831-winrar-zero-day/", "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-38831"], "tags": {"name": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "analytic_story": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1105", "mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Ajax Security Team", "Andariel", "Aquatic Panda", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Elderwood", "Ember Bear", "Evilnum", "FIN13", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "IndigoZebra", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "Molerats", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volatile Cedar", "WIRTE", "Whitefly", "Windshift", "Winnti Group", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Command and Control"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - WinRAR Spawning Shell Application - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "WinRAR Spawning Shell Application", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer"}]}}]}, {"name": "Winter Vivern", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-16", "version": 1, "id": "5ce5f311-b311-4568-90ca-0c36781d07a4", "description": "Utilize searches that enable you to detect and investigate unusual activities potentially related to the Winter Vivern malicious software.

Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The two critical vulnerabilities are CVE-2023-40044, a .NET deserialization flaw, and CVE-2023-42657, a directory traversal vulnerability. Rapid7 has observed active exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Affected versions are prior to 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. Immediate action is advised - upgrade to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure. This comes in the wake of increased scrutiny following the Cl0p ransomware attack on MOVEit Transfer in May 2023.", "narrative": "Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in WS_FTP Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The first, CVE-2023-40044, is a .NET deserialization flaw that targets the Ad Hoc Transfer module of WS_FTP Server versions earlier than 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server's operating system without needing authentication. The second vulnerability, CVE-2023-42657, is a directory traversal flaw that allows attackers to perform unauthorized file operations outside of their authorized WS_FTP folder. In severe cases, the attacker could escape the WS_FTP Server file structure and perform operations on the underlying operating system. Both vulnerabilities have been observed being exploited in the wild and immediate action for mitigation is strongly advised. Updating to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2 is recommended. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure.", "references": ["https://www.assetnote.io/resources/research/rce-in-progress-ws-ftp-ad-hoc-via-iis-http-modules-cve-2023-40044", "https://community.progress.com/s/article/WS-FTP-Server-Critical-Vulnerability-September-2023", "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-40044", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/09/29/etr-critical-vulnerabilities-in-ws_ftp-server/", "https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/security/fantastic-iis-modules-and-how-to-find-them.html"], "tags": {"name": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "analytic_story": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1505", "mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT38", "APT39", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "TEMP.Veles", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior - Rule", "ESCU - W3WP Spawning Shell - Rule", "ESCU - Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query - Rule", "ESCU - WS FTP Remote Code Execution - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "W3WP Spawning Shell", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}]}}, {"name": "WS FTP Remote Code Execution", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "XMRig", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Rod Soto Splunk", "date": "2021-05-07", "version": 1, "id": "06723e6a-6bd8-4817-ace2-5fb8a7b06628", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the xmrig monero, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process command-line, defense evasion (killing services, deleting users, modifying files or folder permission, killing other malware or other coin miner) and hacking tools including Telegram as mean of Command And Control (C2) to download other files.

The malicious activity includes beaconing to actor controlled infrastructure, deployment of second stage payloads, and, in a small number of cases, hands on keyboard activity. (CrowdStrike)", "narrative": "On March 22, 2023, cybersecurity firm SentinelOne observed a surge in behavioral detections of trojanized 3CXDesktopApp installers, a popular PABX voice and video conferencing software. The multi-stage attack chain, which automatically quarantines trojanized installers, involves downloading ICO files with base64 data from GitHub and eventually leads to a 3rd stage infostealer DLL that is still under analysis. While the Mac installer remains unconfirmed as trojanized, ongoing investigations are also examining other potentially compromised applications, such as Chrome extensions. The threat actor behind the supply chain compromise, which started in February 2022, has used a code signing certificate to sign the trojanized binaries, but connections to existing threat clusters remain unclear. SentinelOne updated their IOCs on March 30th, 2023, with contributions from the research community and continues to monitor the situation for further developments. 3CX identified the vulnerability in the recent versions 18.12.407 and 18.12.416 for the desktop app. A new certificate for the app will also be produced.", "references": ["https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/smoothoperator-ongoing-campaign-trojanizes-3cx-software-in-software-supply-chain-attack/", "https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/03/30/supply-chain-attack-against-3cxdesktopapp", "https://www.reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/comments/125r3uu/20230329_situational_awareness_crowdstrike/", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/crowdstrike-endpoint-security-detection-re-3cx-desktop-app.119934/page-2#post-558898", "https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/3cx-desktopapp-security-alert.119951/", "https://www.elastic.co/security-labs/elastic-users-protected-from-suddenicon-supply-chain-attack", "https://www.volexity.com/blog/2023/03/30/3cx-supply-chain-compromise-leads-to-iconic-incident/"], "tags": {"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "analytic_story": "3CX Supply Chain Attack", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1195.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "Cobalt Group", "Dragonfly", "FIN7", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Sandworm Team", "Threat Group-3390"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT33", "APT39", "Evilnum", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Leafminer", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1555.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT3", "APT33", "APT37", "Ajax Security Team", "FIN6", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leafminer", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Sandworm Team", "Stealth Falcon", "TA505", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - 3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators - Rule", "ESCU - Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software - Rule", "ESCU - Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Hunting 3CXDesktopApp Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}, {"name": "Non Chrome Process Accessing Chrome Default Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Non Firefox Process Access Firefox Profile Dir", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Password Stores"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Credentials from Web Browsers"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Vulnerable 3CX Software", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Compromise Software Supply Chain"}]}}]}, {"name": "IcedID", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2021-07-29", "version": 1, "id": "1d2cc747-63d7-49a9-abb8-93aa36305603", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the IcedID banking trojan, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process injection, shellcode execution and data collection.", "narrative": "IcedId banking trojan campaigns targeting banks and other vertical sectors.This malware is known in Microsoft Windows OS targetting browser such as firefox and chrom to steal banking information.

This story focuses on the abnormal behavior within Kubernetes environments that can be indicative of security threats. Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication, all of which can be exploited by attackers. Observability data, such as metrics, play a crucial role in identifying these abnormal behaviors. These behaviors could be a result of attacks on the control plane, exploitation of misconfigurations, or breaches of containerized applications.

"Kerberos, initially named after Cerberus, the three-headed dog in Greek mythology, is a network authentication protocol that allows computers and users to prove their identity through a trusted third-party. This trusted third-party issues Kerberos tickets using symmetric encryption to allow users access to services and network resources based on their privilege level. Kerberos is the default authentication protocol used on Windows Active Directory networks since the introduction of Windows Server 2003. With Kerberos being the backbone of Windows authentication, it is commonly abused by adversaries across the different phases of a breach including initial access, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, lateral movement, etc.\\ This Analytic Story groups detection use cases in which the Kerberos protocol is abused. Defenders can leverage these analytics to detect and hunt for adversaries engaging in Kerberos based attacks.", "references": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol)",

"Detect and investigate tactics, techniques, and procedures around how attackers move laterally within an Active Directory environment. Since lateral movement is often a necessary step in a breach, it is important for cyber defenders to deploy detection coverage.", "narrative": "Once attackers gain a foothold within an enterprise, they will seek to expand their accesses and leverage techniques that facilitate lateral movement. Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation.\\\nIndications of lateral movement in an Active Directory network can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, Service Control Manager, the DCOM protocol, WinRM or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor.\\\nAn adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders.\\\nIf there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. \\\n It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented. Analysts should account for all processes to ensure that the attackers did not install unauthorized software.", "references":

Password Spraying attacks within Active Directory environments.", "narrative": "In a password spraying attack, adversaries leverage one or a small list of commonly used / popular passwords against a large volume of usernames to acquire valid account credentials. Unlike a Brute Force attack that targets a specific user or small group of users with a large number of passwords, password spraying follows the opposite aproach and increases the chances of obtaining valid credentials while avoiding account lockouts. This allows adversaries to remain undetected if the target organization does not have the proper monitoring and detection controls in place.\\\nPassword Spraying can be leveraged by adversaries across different stages in an attack. It can be used to obtain an iniial access to an environment but can also be used to escalate privileges when access has been already achieved. In some scenarios, this technique capitalizes on a security policy most organizations implement, password rotation. As enterprise users change their passwords, it is possible some pick predictable, seasonal passwords such as `$CompanyNameWinter`, `Summer2021`, etc.\\\nSpecifically, this Analytic Story is focused on detecting possible Password Spraying attacks against Active Directory environments leveraging Windows Event Logs in the `Account Logon` and `Logon/Logoff` Advanced Audit Policy categories. It presents 16 detection analytics which can aid defenders in identifying instances where one source user, source host or source process attempts to authenticate against a target or targets using a high or statiscally unsual, number of unique users. A user, host or process attempting to authenticate with multiple users is not common behavior for legitimate systems and should be monitored by security teams. Possible false positive scenarios include but are not limited to vulnerability scanners, remote administration tools, multi-user systems and missconfigured systems. These should be easily spotted when first implementing the detection and addded to an allow list or lookup table. The presented detections can also be used in Threat Hunting exercises.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1110/003/", "https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/04/23/protecting-organization-password-spray-attacks/", "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn452415(v=ws.11)"], "tags": {"name": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "analytic_story": "Active Directory Password Spraying", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1110.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Password Spraying", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT33", "Chimera", "HEXANE", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Silent Librarian"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1110", "mitre_attack_technique": "Brute Force", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT38", "APT39", "DarkVishnya", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "Fox Kitten", "HEXANE", "OilRig", "Turla"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities.\\\nActive Directory is a central component of most enterprise networks, providing authentication and authorization services for users, computers, and other resources. It stores sensitive information such as passwords, user accounts, and security policies, and is therefore a high-value target for attackers. Privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory typically involve exploiting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations across the network to gain elevated privileges, such as Domain Administrator access. Once an attacker has escalated their privileges and taken full control of a domain, they can easily move laterally throughout the network, access sensitive data, and carry out further attacks. Security teams should monitor for privilege escalation attacks in Active Directory to identify a breach before attackers achieve operational success.\\\nThe following analytic story groups detection

CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-08-23", "version": 1, "id": "e33e2e38-f9c2-432d-8be6-bc67b92aa82e", "description": "In July 2023, a significant vulnerability, CVE-2023-29298, affecting Adobe ColdFusion was uncovered by Rapid7, shedding light on an access control bypass mechanism. This vulnerability allows attackers to access sensitive ColdFusion Administrator endpoints by exploiting a flaw in the URL path validation. Disturbingly, this flaw can be chained with another critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-26360, which has been actively exploited. The latter enables unauthorized arbitrary code execution and file reading. Adobe has promptly addressed these vulnerabilities, but the intricacies and potential ramifications of their combination underscore the importance of immediate action by organizations. With active exploitation in the wild and the ability to bypass established security measures, the situation is alarming. Organizations are urged to apply the updates provided by Adobe immediately, considering the active threat landscape and the severe implications of these chained vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "Adobe ColdFusion, a prominent application server, has been thrust into the cybersecurity spotlight due to two intertwined vulnerabilities. The first, CVE-2023-29298, identified by Rapid7 in July 2023, pertains to an access control bypass in ColdFusion's security mechanisms. This flaw allows attackers to access protected ColdFusion Administrator endpoints simply by manipulating the URL path, specifically by inserting an additional forward slash.\\ Compounding the threat is the revelation that CVE-2023-29298 can be chained with CVE-2023-26360, another severe ColdFusion vulnerability. This latter vulnerability, which has seen active exploitation, permits unauthorized attackers to execute arbitrary code or read arbitrary files on the affected system. In practice, an attacker could exploit the access control bypass to access sensitive ColdFusion endpoints and subsequently exploit the arbitrary code execution vulnerability, broadening their control and access over the targeted system. \\ The consequences of these vulnerabilities are manifold. Attackers can potentially login to the ColdFusion Administrator with known credentials, bruteforce their way in, leak sensitive information, or exploit other vulnerabilities in the exposed CFM and CFC files. This combination of vulnerabilities significantly heightens the risk profile for organizations using the affected versions of Adobe ColdFusion. \\ Addressing the urgency, Adobe released fixes for these vulnerabilities in July 2023, urging organizations to update to ColdFusion 2023 GA build, ColdFusion 2021 Update 7, and ColdFusion 2018 Update 17. However, Rapid7's disclosure highlights a potential incomplete fix, suggesting that organizations should remain vigilant and proactive in their security measures. \\\nIn conclusion, the discovery of these vulnerabilities and their potential to be exploited in tandem presents a significant security challenge. Organizations using Adobe ColdFusion must prioritize the application of security updates, monitor their systems closely for signs of intrusion, and remain updated on any further developments related to these vulnerabilities.", "references": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb23-25.html", "https://twitter.com/stephenfewer/status/1678881017526886400?s=20", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/07/11/cve-2023-29298-adobe-coldfusion-access-control-bypass", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisa-warns-of-adobe-coldfusion-bug-exploited-as-a-zero-day/"], "tags": {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "analytic_story": "Adobe ColdFusion Arbitrary Code Execution CVE-2023-29298 CVE-2023-26360", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass - Rule", "ESCU - Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}, {"name": "Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "AgentTesla", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2022-04-12", "version": 1, "id": "9bb6077a-843e-418b-b134-c57ef997103c", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the AgentTesla malware including .chm application child process, ftp/smtp connection, persistence and many more.

"Detect and investigate activities--such as unusually long `Content-Type` length, suspicious java classes and web servers executing suspicious processes--consistent with attempts to exploit Apache Struts vulnerabilities.", "narrative": "In March of 2017, a remote code-execution vulnerability in the Jakarta Multipart parser in Apache Struts, a widely used open-source framework for creating Java web applications, was disclosed and assigned to CVE-2017-5638. About two months later, hackers exploited the flaw to carry out the world's <a href=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/09/07/nations-biggest-hacks-and-data-breaches-millions/644311001/> 5th largest data breach</a>. The target, credit giant Equifax, <a href=https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/16/technology/equifax-breach-security-hole/index.html>told investigators</a> that it had become aware of the vulnerability two months before the attack. \\\nThe exploit involved manipulating the `Content-Type HTTP` header to execute commands embedded in the header.\\\nThis Analytic Story contains two different searches that help to identify activity that may be related to this issue. The first search looks for characteristics of the `Content-Type` header consistent with attempts to exploit the vulnerability. This should be a relatively pertinent indicator, as the `Content-Type` header is generally consistent and does not have a large degree of variation.\\\nThe second search looks for the execution of various commands typically entered on the command shell when an attacker first lands on a system. These commands are not generally executed on web servers during the course of day-to-day operation, but they may be used when the system is undergoing maintenance or troubleshooting.\\\nFirst, it is helpful is to understand how often the notable event is generated, as well as the commonalities in some of these events. This may help determine whether this is a common occurrence that is of a lesser concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It can also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user or system or is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior illustrated by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to see what other events involving the target have occurred in the recent past. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and (potentially) collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. Information like this can be useful in generating your own threat intelligence to create alerts in the future.\\\nLooking at the country, responsible party, and fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address--as well as the registration information associated with those domain names, if they are frequently visited by others--can help you answer the question of \"who,\" in regard to the external system. Answering that can help qualify the event and may serve useful for tracking. In addition, there are various sources that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining if the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether or not there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect some dots or show other events that should be brought into scope.\\\nGathering various data elements on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine that something suspicious may be happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version to help determine whether or not it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nhen it is suspected there is an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIn the event that a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that have the file open, what processes created and/or modified the file, and the number of systems that may have this file can help to determine if the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes quickly help determine whether it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, there may be activity initiated via a compromised website the user visited.\\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process that is of interest. For example, if it turns out that the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might also be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, reviewing the network connections made around the time of the event and/or if the process spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/blob/v3.2/dev/rules/REQUEST-944-APPLICATION-ATTACK-JAVA.conf"], "tags": {"name": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Apache Struts Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Suspicious Java Classes - Rule", "ESCU - Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes - Rule", "ESCU - Unusually Long Content-Type Length - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Suspicious Strings in HTTP Header - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Web POSTs From src - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Suspicious Java Classes", "source": "application", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Web Servers Executing Suspicious Processes", "source": "application", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}]}}, {"name": "Unusually Long Content-Type Length", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Asset Tracking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-13", "version": 1, "id": "91c676cf-0b23-438d-abee-f6335e1fce77", "description": "Keep a careful inventory of every asset on your network to make it easier to detect rogue devices.

They provide users with dynamically created temporary security credentials that expire within a set time period.\\\nHerein lies the rub.

Azure AD is the backbone of most of Azure services like Office 365. It can sync with on-premise Active Directory environments and provide authentication to other cloud-based systems via the OAuth protocol. According to Microsoft, Azure AD manages more than 1.2 billion identities and processes over 8 billion authentications per day. Account Takeover (ATO) is an attack whereby cybercriminals gain unauthorized access to online accounts by using different techniques like brute force, social engineering, phishing & spear phishing, credential stuffing, etc. By posing as the real user, cyber-criminals can change account details, send out phishing emails, steal financial information or sensitive data, or use any stolen information to access further accounts within the organization. This analytic storic groups detections that can help security operations teams identify the potential compromise of Azure Active Directory accounts.", "references":

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows any unprivileged user to gain root privileges on the vulnerable host.", "narrative": "A non-privledged user is able to execute the sudoedit command to trigger a buffer overflow. After the successful buffer overflow, they are then able to gain root privileges on the affected host. The conditions needed to be run are a trailing \"\\\" along with shell and edit flags. Monitoring the /var/log directory on Linux hosts using the Splunk Universal Forwarder will allow you to pick up this behavior when using the provided detection.", "references": ["https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-research/2021/01/26/cve-2021-3156-heap-based-buffer-overflow-in-sudo-baron-samedit"], "tags": {"name": "Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "analytic_story": "Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1068", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT33", "BITTER", "Cobalt Group", "FIN6", "FIN8", "LAPSUS$", "MoustachedBouncer", "PLATINUM", "Scattered Spider", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Whitefly", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 - Rule", "ESCU - Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 Segfault - Rule", "ESCU - Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 via OSQuery - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Shannon Davis", "detections": [{"name": "Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}, {"name": "Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 Segfault", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}, {"name": "Detect Baron Samedit CVE-2021-3156 via OSQuery", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}]}, {"name": "BishopFox Sliver Adversary Emulation Framework", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-01-24", "version": 1, "id": "8c2e2cba-3fd8-424f-a890-5080bdaf3f31", "description": "The following analytic story providers visibility into the latest adversary TTPs in regard to the use of Sliver.

The authoring agencies now judge these actors are an APT group affiliated with the IRGC. Since the initial reporting of this activity in the FBI Liaison Alert System (FLASH) report APT Actors Exploiting Fortinet Vulnerabilities to Gain Access for Malicious Activity from May 2021, the authoring agencies have continued to observe these IRGC-affiliated actors exploiting known vulnerabilities for initial access. In addition to exploiting Fortinet and Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities, the authoring agencies have observed these APT actors exploiting VMware Horizon Log4j vulnerabilities for initial access. The IRGC-affiliated actors have used this access for follow-on activity, including disk encryption and data extortion, to support ransom operations. The IRGC-affiliated actors are actively targeting a broad range of entities, including entities across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors as well as Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom organizations. These actors often operate under the auspices of Najee Technology Hooshmand Fater LLC, based in Karaj, Iran, and Afkar System Yazd Company, based in Yazd, Iran. The authoring agencies assess the actors are exploiting known vulnerabilities on unprotected networks rather than targeting specific targeted entities or sectors. This advisory provides observed tactics, techniques, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that the authoring agencies assess are likely associated with this IRGC-affiliated APT. The authoring agencies urge organizations, especially critical infrastructure organizations, to apply the recommendations listed in the Mitigations section of this advisory to mitigate risk of compromise from these IRGC-affiliated cyber actors.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa21-321a", "https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-257a",

Since 2013, cybersecurity companies and governments have reported on SVR operations targeting victim networks to steal confidential and proprietary information. A decade later, the authoring agencies can infer a long-term targeting pattern aimed at collecting, and enabling the collection of, foreign intelligence, a broad concept that for Russia encompasses information on the politics, economics, and military of foreign states; science and technology; and foreign counterintelligence. The SVR also conducts cyber operations targeting technology companies that enable future cyber operations. The SVR's recent operation has targeted networks hosting TeamCity servers, further underscoring its persistent focus on technology companies. By leveraging CVE-2023-42793, a vulnerability within a software development program, the SVR seeks to gain access to victims, potentially compromising numerous software developers' networks. JetBrains responded to this threat by issuing a patch in mid-September 2023, limting the SVR's ability to exploit Internet-accessible TeamCity servers lacking the necessary updates. Despite this mitigation, the SVR has yet to utilize its acquired access to software developers' networks for breaching customer systems. It appears that the SVR is still in the preparatory stages of its operation.", "references": ["https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-347a"], "tags": {"name": "CISA AA23-347A",

vulnerability in the Web User Interface (Web UI) feature of Cisco IOS XE software (CVE-2023-20198) when exposed to the internet or untrusted networks. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to create an account on the affected device with privilege level 15 access, effectively granting them full control of the compromised device and allowing possible subsequent unauthorized activity.", "narrative": "Cisco discovered early evidence of potentially malicious activity on September 28, 2023, when a case was opened with Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC) that identified unusual behavior on a customer device. Upon further investigation, they observed what they have determined to be related activity as early as September 18. The activity included an authorized user creating a local user account under the username cisco_tac_admin from a suspicious IP address. On October 12, Cisco Talos Incident Response (Talos IR) and TAC detected what they later determined to be an additional cluster of related activity that began on that same day. In this cluster, an unauthorized user was observed creating a local user account under the name cisco_support from a second suspicious IP address. Unlike the September case, this October activity included several subsequent actions, including the deployment of an implant consisting of a configuration file (cisco_service.conf). The configuration file defines the new web server endpoint (URI path) used to interact with the implant. That endpoint receives certain parameters, described in more detail below, that allows the actor to execute arbitrary commands at the system level or IOS level. For the implant to become active, the web server must be restarted; in at least one observed case the server was not restarted so the implant never became active despite being installed.", "references": ["https://blog.talosintelligence.com/active-exploitation-of-cisco-ios-xe-software/"], "tags": {"name": "Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Cisco IOS XE Software Web Management User Interface vulnerability", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Cisco IOS XE Implant Access - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Cisco IOS XE Implant Access", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway CVE-2023-4966", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-10-24", "version": 1, "id": "b194d644-4095-431a-bee0-a8e6ec067414", "description": "A critical security update, CVE-2023-4966, has been released for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway.

The advisory offers a comprehensive examination of the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), alongside recommended detection methods and incident response guidelines. Immediate patch application from Citrix and the use of the detection guidance in the advisory is strongly recommended for critical infrastructure organizations to mitigate system compromises.", "narrative": "Recent advisories have highlighted the exploitation of CVE-2023-3519, a critical vulnerability in Citrix's NetScaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) and NetScaler Gateway. In June 2023, threat actors utilized this vulnerability to implant a webshell on a NetScaler ADC appliance within a critical infrastructure organization's non-production environment. This action granted them the ability to perform active directory discovery, data collection, and exfiltration. Notably, attempts for lateral movement to a domain controller were obstructed by network-segmentation controls. \\\nThe compromised organization reported the breach, leading Citrix to issue a patch on July 18, 2023. Multiple advisories have since outlined the threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including their initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, defense evasion, credential access, discovery, collection, command and control, and impact. These advisories also provide detection methods and recommend incident response measures. \\\nThe threat actors executed several activities during their attack, such as uploading a TGZ file with a generic webshell, discovery script, and setuid binary on the ADC appliance; conducting SMB scanning on the subnet; using the webshell for active directory enumeration and data exfiltration; and accessing NetScaler configuration files and decryption keys. They also decrypted an active directory credential, queried the active directory for various information, encrypted collected data, exfiltrated it as an image file, and attempted to erase their artifacts. Despite these actions, further discovery and lateral movement were impeded due to the organization's network-segmentation controls. \\\nAdvisories suggest conducting specific checks on the ADC shell interface to detect signs of compromise. If a compromise is detected, organizations should isolate potentially affected hosts, reimage compromised hosts, provide new account credentials, collect and review artifacts, and report the compromise. To mitigate the threat, organizations are advised to promptly install the relevant updates for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, adhere to cybersecurity best practices, and apply robust network-segmentation controls on NetScaler appliances and other internet-facing devices. \\", "references": ["https://attackerkb.com/topics/si09VNJhHh/cve-2023-3519", "https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-07/aa23-201a_csa_threat_actors_exploiting_citrix-cve-2023-3519_to_implant_webshells.pdf", "https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX561482/citrix-adc-and-citrix-gateway-security-bulletin-for-cve20233519-cve20233466-cve20233467"], "tags": {"name": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "analytic_story": "Citrix Netscaler ADC CVE-2023-3519", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519 - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Citrix ADC Exploitation CVE-2023-3519", "source": "web", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "Citrix ShareFile RCE CVE-2023-24489", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-07-26", "version": 1, "id": "10c7e01a-5743-4995-99df-a66f6b5db653", "description": "A critical vulnerability has been discovered in ShareFile's Storage Zones Controller software (CVE-2023-24489), used by numerous organizations for file sharing and storage. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated arbitrary file upload and remote code execution due to a cryptographic bug in the software's encryption but lack of authentication system. The risk comes from a failing encryption check, allowing potential cybercriminals to upload malicious files to the server. The bug was found in the Documentum Connector's .aspx files.

It was discovered that this software has a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-24489) in the file upload functionality provided by the Documentum Connector's .aspx files. Specifically, the security flaw lies in the encryption check in the file upload process which could be bypassed, allowing for unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads and remote code execution. \\\nThe application sets the current principal from a session cookie, but if this is missing, the application continues without authentication. The application uses AES encryption, with CBC mode and PKCS#7 padding. A decryption check is in place which returns an error if the decryption fails, but this can be bypassed by supplying a ciphertext that results in valid padding after decryption, thereby not causing an exception. \\\nThe Documentum Connector's upload.aspx file, when uploading a file, calls the ProcessRawPostedFile function, which allows a path traversal due to improper sanitization of the 'uploadId' parameter. It allows the 'filename' and 'uploadId' parameters to be concatenated, and while the 'filename' parameter is sanitized, the 'uploadId' is not. The 'parentid' parameter is passed in but is also not used. \\\nThe vulnerability enables an attacker to upload a webshell or any other malicious file, by providing a properly padded encrypted string for the 'parentid' parameter, and specifying the path for the 'uploadId' and the name for the 'filename'. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by requesting the uploaded file.

The attacks have moved from in-browser exploits and mobile phones to enterprise cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. It's difficult to determine exactly how widespread the practice has become, since bad actors continually evolve their ability to escape detection, including employing unlisted endpoints, moderating their CPU usage, and hiding the mining pool's IP address behind a free CDN. \\\nWhen malicious miners appropriate a cloud instance, often spinning up hundreds of new instances, the costs can become astronomical for the account holder.

and investigate unusual activities that relate to the ColdRoot Remote Access Trojan that affects MacOS. An example of some of these activities are changing sensative binaries in the MacOS sub-system, detecting process names and executables associated with the RAT, detecting when a keyboard tab is installed on a MacOS machine and more.", "narrative": "Conventional wisdom holds that Apple's MacOS operating system is significantly less vulnerable to attack than Windows machines. While that point is debatable, it is true that attacks against MacOS systems are much less common. However, this fact does not mean that Macs are impervious to breaches. To the contrary, research has shown that that Mac malware is increasing at an alarming rate. According to AV-test, in 2018, there were 86,865 new MacOS malware variants, up from 27,338 the year before&#151;a 31% increase. In contrast, the independent research firm found that new Windows malware had increased from 65.17M to 76.86M during that same period, less than half the rate of growth. The bottom line is that while the numbers look a lot smaller than Windows, it's definitely time to take Mac security more seriously.\\\nThis Analytic Story addresses the ColdRoot remote access trojan (RAT), which was uploaded to Github in 2016, but was still escaping detection by the first quarter of 2018, when a new, more feature-rich variant was discovered masquerading as an Apple audio driver. Among other capabilities, the Pascal-based ColdRoot can heist passwords from users' keychains and remotely control infected machines without detection. In the initial report of his findings, Patrick Wardle, Chief Research Officer for Digita Security, explained that the new ColdRoot RAT could start and kill processes on the breached system, spawn new remote-desktop sessions, take screen captures and assemble them into a live stream of the victim's desktop, and more.\\\nSearches in this Analytic Story leverage the capabilities of OSquery to address ColdRoot detection from several different angles, such as looking for the existence of associated files and processes, and monitoring for signs of an installed keylogger.", "references": ["https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/osxcoldroot-and-the-rat-invasion/", "https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x2A.html", "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/coldroot-rat-still-undetectable-despite-being-uploaded-on-github-two-years-ago/"], "tags": {"name": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "analytic_story": "ColdRoot MacOS RAT", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [], "mitre_attack_tactics": [], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": []}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection - Rule", "ESCU - MacOS - Re-opened Applications - Rule", "ESCU - Processes Tapping Keyboard Events - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Investigate Network Traffic From src ip - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Jose Hernandez", "detections": [{"name": "Osquery pack - ColdRoot detection", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "MacOS - Re-opened Applications", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}, {"name": "Processes Tapping Keyboard Events", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Collection and Staging", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-03", "version": 1, "id": "8e03c61e-13c4-4dcd-bfbe-5ce5a8dc031a", "description": "Monitor for and investigate activities--such as suspicious writes to the Windows Recycling Bin or email servers sending high amounts of traffic to specific hosts, for example--that may indicate that an adversary is harvesting and exfiltrating sensitive data.

campaign distributing DarkGate malware. This campaign utilizes stolen email threads to trick users into downloading malicious payloads via hyperlinks. An initial false link to Emotet stirred the security community, but deeper analysis confirmed its true identity as DarkGate, with characteristics like AutoIt scripts and a known command-and-control protocol. This report by Fabian Marquardt details the intricate infection mechanisms, including MSI and VBS file deliveries, sophisticated evasion techniques, and a robust configuration extraction method surpassing current standards. The single developer behind DarkGate, active on cybercrime forums, has shifted the malware's use from private to a rent-out model, implying an expected rise in its deployment. Researchers have also developed a decryption technique for the DarkGate malware, which aids in static analysis and detection, though it requires careful validation to avoid false positives.", "narrative": "Telekom Security CTi has recently put a spotlight on the proliferation of DarkGate malware via a sophisticated malspam campaign, initially mistaken for the notorious Emotet malware. The campaign smartly manipulates stolen email conversations, embedding hyperlinks that, once clicked, activate a malware download. Fabian Marquardt's analysis traces the infection's footprint, revealing a dual delivery mechanism through MSI and VBS files. These files, cloaked in legitimate wrappers or obscured with junk code, ultimately download the malware via embedded scripts. \\\nMarquardt delves into the AutoIt script-based infection, uncovering the calculated use of compiled scripts and base64-encoded data to disguise the execution of malicious shellcode. The subsequent stages of infection exhibit the malware's capability to evade detection, leveraging memory allocation techniques to bypass security measures. Marquardt also explores the loader's function, which decrypts further malicious payloads by interacting with the script's encoded components. \\\nThe analytical narrative captures a cross-section of the cybersecurity landscape, reflecting the shift in DarkGate's operational strategy from exclusive use by the developer to a broader dissemination through a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model. This transition suggests an anticipated escalation in DarkGate-related attacks. \\\nSignificantly, the report contributes to cybersecurity defenses by outlining a more effective method for extracting malware configurations, providing the community with the means to anticipate and mitigate the evolving threats posed by this pernicious malware. With the insights gained, researchers and security professionals are better equipped to adapt their strategies, constructing more robust defenses against the sophisticated tactics employed by DarkGate and similar malware strains.", "references": ["https://github.security.telekom.com/2023/08/darkgate-loader.html", "https://redcanary.com/blog/intelligence-insights-october-2023"], "tags": {"name":

Exfiltration comes in many flavors and its done differently on every environment. Adversaries can collect data over encrypted or non-encrypted channels.  They can utilise Command And Control channels that are already in place to exfiltrate data.  They can use both standard data transfer protocols such as FTP, SCP, etc to exfiltrate data.  Or they can use non-standard protocols such as DNS, ICMP, etc with specially crafted fields to try and circumvent security technologies in place.\\\nTechniques for getting data out of a target network typically include transferring it over their command and control channel or an alternate channel and may also include putting size limits on the transmission. In context of the cloud, this refers to the unauthorized transfer or extraction of sensitive data from cloud-based systems or services. It involves the compromise of cloud infrastructure or accounts to gain access to valuable information stored in the cloud environment.

Its complexity was designed into the process to ensure that the number of blocks mined each day would remain steady. So, it's par for the course that ambitious, but unscrupulous, miners make amassing the computing power of large enterprises--a practice known as cryptojacking--a top priority. \\\nCryptojacking has attracted an increasing amount of media attention since its explosion in popularity in the fall of 2017. The attacks have moved from in-browser exploits and mobile phones to enterprise cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's difficult to determine exactly how widespread the practice has become, since bad actors continually evolve their ability to escape detection, including employing unlisted endpoints, moderating their CPU usage, and hiding the mining pool's IP address behind a free CDN. \\\nWhen malicious miners appropriate a cloud instance, often spinning up hundreds of new instances, the costs can become astronomical for the account holder.

Attackers will often spend quite a bit of time and effort moving laterally. Because lateral movement renders an attacker the most vulnerable to detection, it's an excellent focus for detection and investigation. Indications of lateral movement can include the abuse of system utilities (such as `psexec.exe`), unauthorized use of remote desktop services, `file/admin$` shares, WMI, PowerShell, pass-the-hash, or the abuse of scheduled tasks. Organizations must be extra vigilant in detecting lateral movement techniques and look for suspicious activity in and around high-value strategic network assets, such as Active Directory, which are often considered the primary target or \"crown jewels\" to a persistent threat actor. An adversary can use lateral movement for multiple purposes, including remote execution of tools, pivoting to additional systems, obtaining access to specific information or files, access to additional credentials, exfiltrating data, or delivering a secondary effect. Adversaries may use legitimate credentials alongside inherent network and operating-system functionality to remotely connect to other systems and remain under the radar of network defenders. If there is evidence of lateral movement, it is imperative for analysts to collect evidence of the associated offending hosts. For example, an attacker might leverage host A to gain access to host B. From there, the attacker may try to move laterally to host C. In this example, the analyst should gather as much information as possible from all three hosts. It is also important to collect authentication logs for each host, to ensure that the offending accounts are well-documented.

Employing numerous tactics and techniques, these attacks continue to escalate in complexity. \\\nThere is a wide range of motivations for these state-sponsored hacks, including stealing valuable corporate, military, or diplomatic data&#1151;all of which could confer advantages in various arenas. They may also target critical infrastructure. \\\nOne joint Technical Alert (TA) issued by the Department of Homeland and the FBI in mid-March of 2018 attributed some cyber activity targeting utility infrastructure to operatives sponsored by the Russian government. The hackers executed spearfishing attacks, installed malware, employed watering-hole domains, and more. While they caused no physical damage, the attacks provoked fears that a nation-state could turn off water, redirect power, or compromise a nuclear power plant.\\\nSuspicious activities--spikes in SMB traffic, processes that launch netsh (to modify the network configuration), suspicious registry modifications, and many more--may all be events you may wish to investigate further. While the use of these technique may be an indication that a nation-state actor is attempting to compromise your environment, it is important to note that these techniques are often employed by other

It has been proven to work very well for its intended function. However if DNS is misconfigured, servers can be abused by attackers to levy amplification or redirection attacks against victims. Because DNS responses to `ANY` queries are so much larger than the queries themselves--and can be made with a UDP packet, which does not require a handshake--attackers can spoof the source address of the packet and cause much more data to be sent to the victim than if they sent the traffic themselves. The `ANY` requests are will be larger than normal DNS server requests, due to the fact that the server provides significant details, such as MX records and associated IP addresses. A large volume of this traffic can result in a DOS on the victim's machine. This misconfiguration leads to two possible victims, the first being the DNS servers participating in an attack and the other being the hosts that are the targets of the DOS attack.\\\nThe search in this story can help you to detect if attackers are abusing your company's DNS infrastructure to launch DNS amplification attacks causing Denial of Service to other victims.", "references": ["https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-088A", "https://www.imperva.com/learn/application-security/dns-amplification/"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "analytic_story": "DNS Amplification Attacks", "category": ["Abuse"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1498", "mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1498.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Impact"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Large Volume of DNS ANY Queries", "source": "network", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Network Denial of Service"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Reflection Amplification"}]}}]}, {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "author": "Bhavin Patel, Splunk", "date": "2020-02-04", "version": 1, "id": "8169f17b-ef68-4b59-aa28-586907301221", "description": "Secure your environment against DNS hijacks with searches that help you detect and investigate unauthorized changes to DNS records.", "narrative": "Dubbed the Achilles heel of the Internet (see https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/threat-intelligence/dns-is-still-the-achilles-heel-of-the-internet-25613), DNS plays a critical role in routing web traffic but is notoriously vulnerable to attack. One reason is its distributed nature. It relies on unstructured connections between millions of clients and servers over inherently insecure protocols.\\\nThe gravity and extent of the importance of securing DNS from attacks is undeniable. The fallout of compromised DNS can be disastrous. Not only can hackers bring down an entire business, they can intercept confidential information, emails, and login credentials, as well. \\\nOn January 22, 2019, the US Department of Homeland Security 2019's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) raised awareness of some high-profile DNS hijacking attacks against infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. It issued Emergency Directive 19-01 (see https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/19-01/), which summarized the activity and required government agencies to take the following four actions, all within 10 days: \\\n1. For all .gov or other agency-managed domains, audit public DNS records on all authoritative and secondary DNS servers, verify that they resolve to the intended location or report them to CISA.\\\n1. Update the passwords for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency 2019's DNS records.\\\n1. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts on systems that can make changes to each agency's 2019 DNS records or, if impossible, provide CISA with the names of systems, the reasons why MFA cannot be enabled within the required timeline, and an ETA for when it can be enabled.\\\n1. CISA will begin regular delivery of newly added certificates to Certificate Transparency (CT) logs for agency domains via the Cyber Hygiene service. Upon receipt, agencies must immediately begin monitoring CT log data for certificates issued that they did not request. If an agency confirms that a certificate was unauthorized, it must report the certificate to the issuing certificate authority and to CISA. Of course, it makes sense to put equivalent actions in place within your environment, as well. \\\nIn DNS hijacking, the attacker assumes control over an account or makes use of a DNS service exploit to make changes to DNS records. Once they gain access, attackers can substitute their own MX records, name-server records, and addresses, redirecting emails and traffic through their infrastructure, where they can read, copy, or modify information seen. They can also generate valid encryption certificates to help them avoid browser-certificate checks. In one notable attack on the Internet service provider, GoDaddy, the hackers altered Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records a relatively minor change that did not inflict excessive damage but allowed for more effective spam campaigns.\\\nThe searches in this Analytic Story help you detect and investigate activities that may indicate that DNS hijacking has taken place within your environment.", "references": ["https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/09/apt33-insights-into-iranian-cyber-espionage.html", "https://umbrella.cisco.com/blog/2013/04/15/on-the-trail-of-malicious-dynamic-dns-domains/", "http://www.noip.com/blog/2014/07/11/dynamic-dns-can-use-2/", "https://www.splunk.com/blog/2015/08/04/detecting-dynamic-dns-domains-in-splunk.html"], "tags": {"name": "DNS Hijacking", "analytic_story": "DNS Hijacking", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1048.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exfiltration Over Unencrypted Non-C2 Protocol", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Exfiltration"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT33", "FIN6", "FIN8", "Lazarus Group", "OilRig", "Thrip", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1071.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "DNS", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT39", "APT41", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "FIN7", "Ke3chang", "LazyScripter", "OilRig", "Tropic Trooper"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1568.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Domain Generation Algorithms", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT41", "TA551"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1189", "mitre_attack_technique": "Drive-by Compromise", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Andariel", "Axiom", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Elderwood", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Leviathan", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "PLATINUM", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "RTM", "Threat Group-3390", "Transparent Tribe", "Turla", "Windigo", "Windshift"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control", "Exfiltration", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Network_Resolution"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Actions on Objectives", "Command and Control", "Delivery"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

Assigned CVE-2023-46747, this vulnerability also arose from request smuggling, bearing similarity to CVE-2022-26377.

Apache's CVE-2022-26377 pertains to request smuggling by manipulating the \"Transfer-Encoding\" header. If successfully exploited, this allows attackers to bypass security controls and undertake unauthorized actions. \\\nSimilarly, F5 BIG-IP unveiled an authentication bypass vulnerability, CVE-2023-46747. Originating from the TMUI, this vulnerability leads to full system compromise. While distinct, it shares characteristics with Apache's vulnerability, primarily rooted in request smuggling. This vulnerability drew from past F5 CVEs, particularly CVE-2020-5902 and CVE-2022-1388, both previously exploited in real-world scenarios. These highlighted vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP and Apache Tomcat services, as well as authentication flaws in the F5 BIG-IP API.\\\nNuclei detection templates offer a proactive solution for identifying and mitigating these vulnerabilities. Integrated into vulnerability management frameworks, these templates notify organizations of potential risks, forming a base for further detection strategies. For detection engineers, understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial.

China, targeting Taiwanese organizations for espionage. The group maintains long-term access to networks with minimal use of malware, relying on built-in OS tools and benign software. The group's activities are primarily focused on Taiwan, but the techniques used could be easily reused in other operations outside the region. Microsoft has not observed Flax Typhoon using this access to conduct additional actions.", "narrative": "Flax Typhoon has been active since mid-2021, targeting government agencies, education, critical manufacturing, and IT organizations in Taiwan. The group uses the China Chopper web shell, Metasploit, Juicy Potato privilege escalation tool, Mimikatz, and SoftEther VPN client. However, they primarily rely on living-off-the-land techniques and hands-on-keyboard activity. Initial access is achieved by exploiting known vulnerabilities in public-facing servers and deploying web shells. Following initial access, Flax Typhoon uses command-line tools to establish persistent access over the remote desktop protocol, deploy a VPN connection to actor-controlled network infrastructure, and collect credentials from compromised systems. The group also uses this VPN access to scan for vulnerabilities on targeted systems and organizations from the compromised systems.", "references":

Affiliated with Russia's GRU, their signature move involves spear-phishing emails, leading to multi-tiered cyberattacks.

Simultaneously, Zscaler's \"Steal-It\" campaign pinpointed similar tactics, specifically targeting NTLMv2 hashes. This campaign used ZIP archives containing LNK files to exfiltrate data via Mockbin. APT28's hallmark is their \"Living Off The Land\" strategy, manipulating legitimate tools and services to blend in, evading detection.

patches for its mail server, Microsoft Exchange. These patches respond to a group of vulnerabilities known to impact Exchange 2013, 2016, and 2019. It is important to note that an Exchange 2010 security update has also been issued, though the CVEs do not reference that version as being vulnerable.\\\nWhile the CVEs do not shed much light on the specifics of the vulnerabilities or exploits, the first vulnerability (CVE-2021-26855) has a remote network attack vector that allows the attacker, a group Microsoft named HAFNIUM, to authenticate as the Exchange server. Three additional vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, and CVE-2021-27065) were also identified as part of this activity. When chained together along with CVE-2021-26855 for initial access, the attacker would have complete control over the Exchange server. This includes the ability to run code as SYSTEM and write to any path on the server.\\\nThe following Splunk detections assist with identifying the HAFNIUM groups tradecraft and methodology.",

hidden shares and file writes, that may be evidence of infiltration by North Korean government-sponsored cybercriminals. Details of this activity were reported in DHS Report TA-18-149A.", "narrative": "North Korea's government-sponsored \"cyber army\" has been slowly building momentum and gaining sophistication over the last 15 years or so. As a result, the group's activity, which the US government refers to as \"Hidden Cobra,\" has surreptitiously crept onto the collective radar as a preeminent global threat.\\\nThese state-sponsored actors are thought to be responsible for everything from a hack on a South Korean nuclear plant to an attack on Sony in anticipation of its release of the movie \"The Interview\" at the end of 2014. They're also notorious for cyberespionage. In recent years, the group seems to be focused on financial crimes, such as cryptojacking.\\\nIn June of 2018, The Department of Homeland Security, together with the FBI and other U.S. government partners, issued Technical Alert (TA-18-149A) to advise the public about two variants of North Korean malware. One variant, dubbed \"Joanap,\" is a multi-stage peer-to-peer botnet that allows North Korean state actors to exfiltrate data, download and execute secondary payloads, and initialize proxy communications. The other variant, \"Brambul,\" is a Windows32 SMB worm that is dropped into a victim network. When executed, the malware attempts to spread laterally within a victim's local subnet, connecting via the SMB protocol and initiating brute-force password attacks. It reports details to the Hidden Cobra actors via email, so they can use the information for secondary remote operations.\\\nAmong other searches in this Analytic Story is a detection search that looks for the creation or deletion of hidden shares, such as, \"adnim$,\" which the Hidden Cobra malware creates on the target system. Another looks for the creation of three malicious files associated with the malware. You can also use a search in this story to investigate activity that indicates that malware is sending email back to the attackers.", "references":

components that run on Internet Information Services (IIS) web servers to establish persistence.", "narrative": "IIS provides several mechanisms to extend the functionality of the web servers. For example, Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extensions and filters can be installed to examine and/or modify incoming and outgoing IIS web requests. Extensions and filters are deployed as DLL files that export three functions - Get{Extension/Filter}Version, Http{Extension/Filter}Proc, and (optionally) Terminate{Extension/Filter}. IIS modules may also be installed to extend IIS web servers.\\\nAdversaries may install malicious ISAPI extensions and filters to observe and/or modify traffic, execute commands on compromised machines, or proxy command and control traffic. ISAPI extensions and filters may have access to all IIS web requests and responses. For example, an adversary may abuse these mechanisms to modify HTTP responses in order to distribute malicious commands/content to previously comprised hosts.\\\nAdversaries may also install malicious IIS modules to observe and/or modify traffic. IIS 7.0 introduced modules that provide the same unrestricted access to HTTP requests and responses as ISAPI extensions and filters. IIS modules can be written as a DLL that exports RegisterModule, or as a .NET application that interfaces with ASP.NET APIs to access IIS HTTP requests.

A recent update concerning CVE-2023-35082, closely related to CVE-2023-35078, reveals its impact on more versions of Ivanti's software than initially believed. The former allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive data, modify servers, and access the API, potentially leading to data breaches or malicious system modifications. Meanwhile, CVE-2023-35081 lets authenticated administrators remotely write arbitrary files to the server. Both vulnerabilities have been exploited in targeted attacks against government ministries and could be used in conjunction. With the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of broader exploitation has increased. While initially leveraged in limited attacks, the exploitation is expected to rise, possibly involving state-sponsored actors. Organizations are urged to apply immediate patches and conduct regular system assessments to ensure security.", "narrative": "Ivantis Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) product, formerly known as MobileIron Core and extensively utilized by IT teams to manage mobile devices, applications, and content, has been found to harbor several critical vulnerabilities. Specifically, CVE-2023-35078 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive data and make changes to servers. This flaw has been leveraged in targeted attacks against Norwegian government ministries. In addition, CVE-2023-35081 permits an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to remotely write arbitrary files to the server. \\\nRecently, attention has shifted to CVE-2023-35082, which was initially believed to affect only MobileIron Core 11.2 and below. Subsequent investigations revealed its wider influence, affecting EPMM versions 11.10, 11.9, 11.8, and MobileIron Core 11.7 and earlier. This vulnerability facilitates unauthorized access to the API via the URI path /mifs/asfV3/api/v2/. \\\nWhen combined, these vulnerabilities can be exploited to bypass administrative authentication and access control list (ACL) restrictions, leading to malicious file writing and potential OS command execution. Both have been actively exploited, possibly by state-sponsored actors, prompting urgent advisories from Ivanti and Rapid7, alongside CISA. Given the thousands of potentially vulnerable internet-exposed systems and the presence of PoC code for CVE-2023-35078, the risk of extensive exploitation escalates.

It affects all supported versions, including 9.18, 9.17, and 9.16, as well as older versions. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to access the System Manager Portal (typically hosted on port 8443) and make configuration changes, potentially executing OS commands as root. However, the risk is low for users who haven't exposed port 8443 online. This flaw is distinct from other Ivanti products.

The vulnerability was identified shortly after another notable vulnerability in Ivanti EPMM (CVE-2023-35078) was discovered being exploited in the wild. The current vulnerability allows a malicious actor, without requiring authentication, to access the System Manager Portal, typically hosted on port 8443. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker can make configuration alterations to both the Sentry system and its underlying OS. The potential damage is significant, enabling the attacker to execute commands on the system with root privileges. \\\nWhile this vulnerability scored high on the CVSS scale, its risk is relatively mitigated for clients who have not exposed port 8443 to the internet. The primary exploitation vector is the System Manager Portal, an administrative interface for Sentry. \\\nAs of now, definitive indicators of compromise (IoCs) are elusive. However, any unexpected HTTP requests to the endpoint /services/* could be a red flag. It's worth noting that the exploited endpoint might not be the sole vulnerable point, suggesting other potential gateways for attackers. Ivanti Sentry's system doesn't provide a typical Unix shell, but in the event of a known system breach, the /var/log/tomcat2/ directory contains access logs that may reveal accessed endpoints.

These searches help detect evidence of these attacks, such as network connections to external resources or web services spawning atypical child processes, among others.", "narrative": "This Analytic Story looks for probing and exploitation attempts targeting JBoss application servers. While the vulnerabilities associated with this story are rather dated, they were leveraged in a spring 2016 campaign in connection with the Samsam ransomware variant. Incidents involving this ransomware are unique, in that they begin with attacks against vulnerable services, rather than the phishing or drive-by attacks more common with ransomware. In this case, vulnerable JBoss applications appear to be the target of choice.\\\nIt is helpful to understand how often a notable event generated by this story occurs, as well as the commonalities between some of these events, both of which may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. It may also help to understand whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or whether it is broader in scope.\\\nWhen looking at the target of the behavior uncovered by the event, you should note the sensitivity of the user and or/system to help determine the potential impact. It is also helpful to identify other recent events involving the target. This can help tie different events together and give further situational awareness regarding the target host.\\\nVarious types of information for external systems should be reviewed and, potentially, collected if the incident is, indeed, judged to be malicious. This data may be useful for generating your own threat intelligence, so you can create future alerts.\\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin\\\n1. Responsible party\\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address\\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address Determining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you qualify and understand the event and possible motivation for the attack. In addition, there are various sources that may provide reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist you in determining whether the event is malicious in nature. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or expose other historic events that might be brought back into scope.\\\nGathering various data on the system of interest can sometimes help quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include determining who else may have logged into the system recently, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and/or whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted.\\\nhen a specific service or application is targeted, it is often helpful to know the associated version, to help determine whether it is vulnerable to a specific exploit.\\\nIf you suspect an attack targeting a web server, it is helpful to look at some of the behavior of the web service to see if there is evidence that the service has been compromised. Some indications of this might be network connections to external resources, the web service spawning child processes that are not associated with typical behavior, and whether the service wrote any files that might be malicious in nature.\\\nIf a suspicious file is found, we can review more information about it to help determine if it is, in fact, malicious. Identifying the file type, any processes that opened the file, the processes that may have created and/or modified the file, and how many other systems potentially have this file can you determine whether the file is malicious. Also, determining the file hash and checking it against reputation sources, such as VirusTotal, can sometimes help you quickly determine if it is malicious in nature.\\\nOften, a simple inspection of a suspect process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if svchost.exe is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when simply reviewing process names. \\\nIt can also be helpful to examine various behaviors of and the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see whether the parent process spawned other processes that might also warrant further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made around the time of the event and noting whether the process has spawned any child processes could be helpful in determining whether it is malicious or executing a malicious script.", "references": ["http://www.deependresearch.org/2016/04/jboss-exploits-view-from-victim.html"], "tags": {"name": "JBoss Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "JBoss Vulnerability", "category": ["Vulnerability"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1082", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "Aquatic Panda", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "FIN13", "FIN8", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Sowbug", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Windigo", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery", "Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers - Rule", "ESCU - Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Bhavin Patel", "detections": [{"name": "Detect attackers scanning for vulnerable JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Information Discovery"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}]}}, {"name": "Detect malicious requests to exploit JBoss servers", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": []}}]}, {"name": "Jenkins Server Vulnerabilities", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2024-01-29", "version": 1, "id": "789e76e6-4b5e-4af3-ab8c-46578d84ccff", "description": "This analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.", "narrative": "The following analytic story provides a comprehensive view of Jenkins server vulnerabilities and associated detection analytics.

Key areas of concern include the control plane, worker nodes, and network communication. Attackers may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes API, misconfigured containers, or insecure network policies. The control plane, responsible for managing cluster operations, is a prime target. Compromising this can give attackers control over the entire cluster. Worker nodes, running the containerized applications, can be targeted to disrupt services or to gain access to sensitive data. Common attack vectors include exploiting vulnerabilities in container images, misconfigured role-based access controls (RBAC), exposed Kubernetes dashboards, and insecure network configurations. Attackers can also target the supply chain, injecting malicious code into container images or Helm charts. To mitigate these threats, it is essential to enforce robust security practices such as regular vulnerability scanning, implementing least privilege access, securing the control plane, network segmentation, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities. Tools like Kubernetes Network Policies, Pod Security Policies, and third-party security solutions can provide additional layers of defense.", "references": ["https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/"], "tags": {"name": "Kubernetes Security", "analytic_story": "Kubernetes Security", "category": ["Cloud Security"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Security Monitoring", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1552.007", "mitre_attack_technique": "Container API", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1046", "mitre_attack_technique": "Network Service Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT39", "APT41", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "DarkVishnya", "FIN13", "FIN6", "Fox Kitten", "Lazarus Group", "Leafminer", "Magic Hound", "Naikon", "OilRig", "Rocke", "Suckfly", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1204", "mitre_attack_technique": "User Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["LAPSUS$"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1053.007", "mitre_attack_technique": "Container Orchestration Job", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1526", "mitre_attack_technique": "Cloud Service Discovery", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Discovery"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Credential Access", "Discovery", "Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": [], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

blog post titled `Using Kerberos for Authentication Relay Attacks`. This research introduced, for the first time, ways to make Windows authenticate to a different Service Principal Name (SPN) than what would normally be derived from the hostname the client is connecting to. This effectively proved that relaying Kerberos authentication is possible\\\\.

utilities and tools that come standard on the endpoint--such as PowerShell--to achieve their goals without downloading binary files. These searches can help you detect and investigate PowerShell command-line options that may be indicative of malicious intent.", "narrative": "The searches in this Analytic Story monitor for parameters often used for malicious purposes. It is helpful to understand how often the notable events generated by this story occur, as well as the commonalities between some of these events. These factors may provide clues about whether this is a common occurrence of minimal concern or a rare event that may require more extensive investigation. Likewise, it is important to determine whether the issue is restricted to a single user/system or is broader in scope. \\\nThe following factors may assist you in determining whether the event is malicious: \\\n1. Country of origin \\\n1. Responsible party \\\n1. Fully qualified domain names associated with the external IP address \\\n1. Registration of fully qualified domain names associated with external IP address \\\nDetermining whether it is a dynamic domain frequently visited by others and/or how third parties categorize it can also help you answer some questions surrounding the attacker and details related to the external system. In addition, there are various sources--such as VirusTotal&#151; that can provide some reputation information on the IP address or domain name, which can assist in determining whether the event is malicious. Finally, determining whether there are other events associated with the IP address may help connect data points or show other events that should be brought into scope. \\\nGathering data on the system of interest can sometimes help you quickly determine whether something suspicious is happening. Some of these items include finding out who else may have recently logged into the system, whether any unusual scheduled tasks exist, whether the system is communicating on suspicious ports, whether there are modifications to sensitive registry keys, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities on the system. This information can often highlight other activity commonly seen in attack scenarios or give more information about how the system may have been targeted. \\\nOften, a simple inspection of the process name and path can tell you if the system has been compromised. For example, if `svchost.exe` is found running from a location other than `C:\\Windows\\System32`, it is likely something malicious designed to hide in plain sight when cursorily reviewing process names. Similarly, if the process itself seems legitimate, but the parent process is running from the temporary browser cache, that could be indicative of activity initiated via a compromised website a user visited. \\\nIt can also be very helpful to examine various behaviors of the process of interest or the parent of the process of interest. For example, if it turns out the process of interest is malicious, it would be good to see if the parent to that process spawned other processes that might be worth further scrutiny. If a process is suspect, a review of the network connections made in and around the time of the event and/or whether the process spawned any child processes could be helpful, as well. \\\nIn the event a system is suspected of having been compromised via a malicious website, we suggest reviewing the browsing activity from that system around the time of the event. If categories are given for the URLs visited, that can help you zero in on possible malicious sites. \\\nMost recently we have added new content related to PowerShell Script Block logging, Windows EventCode 4104. Script block logging presents the deobfuscated and raw script executed on an endpoint. The analytics produced were tested against commonly used attack frameworks - PowerShell-Empire, Cobalt Strike and Covenant. In addition, we sampled publicly available samples that utilize PowerShell and validated coverage. The analytics are here to identify suspicious usage, cmdlets, or script values. 4104 events are enabled via the Windows registry and may generate a large volume of data if enabled globally. Enabling on critical systems or a limited set may be best. During triage of 4104 events, review parallel processes for other processes and command executed. Identify any file modifications and network communication and review accordingly. Fortunately, we get the full script to determine the level of threat identified.", "references": ["https://blogs.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/malware-employs-powershell-to-infect-systems/",

If file names are mismatched between the file name on disk and that of the binarys PE metadata, this is a likely indicator that a binary was renamed after it was compiled. Collecting and comparing disk and resource filenames for binaries by looking to see if the InternalName, OriginalFilename, and or ProductName match what is expected could provide useful leads, but may not always be indicative of malicious activity. Do not focus on the possible names a file could have, but instead on the command-line arguments that are known to be used and are distinct because it will have a better rate of detection.", "references": ["https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1036/003/"], "tags": {"name": "Masquerading -

Because it is an open-source framework, it can be easily customized and used with most operating systems.\\\nThe Metasploit Project was undertaken in 2003 by H.D. Moore for use as a Perl-based portable network tool, with assistance from core developer Matt Miller. It was fully converted to Ruby by 2007, and the license was acquired by Rapid7 in 2009, where it remains as part of the Boston-based company repertoire of IDS signature development and targeted remote exploit, fuzzing, anti-forensic, and evasion tools.\\\nPortions of these other tools reside within the Metasploit framework, which is built into the Kali Linux OS. Rapid7 has also developed two proprietary OpenCore tools, Metasploit Pro, Metasploit Express.\\\nThis framework has become the go-to exploit development and mitigation tool. Prior to Metasploit, pen testers had to perform all probes manually by using a variety of tools that may or may not have supported the platform they were testing, writing their own code by hand, and introducing it onto networks manually. Remote testing was virtually unheard of, and that limited a security specialist reach to the local area and companies spending a fortune on in-house IT or security consultants. (ref.

Meterpreter is a Metasploit payload for remote execution that leverages DLL injection to make it extremely difficult to detect.  Since the software runs in memory, no new processes are created upon injection.  It also leverages encrypted communication channels.\\\nMeterpreter enables the operator to remotely run commands on the target machine, upload payloads, download files, dump password hashes, and much more.  It is difficult to determine from the forensic evidence what actions the operator performed.

MSHTML is a software component used to render web pages on Windows. Although it is 2019s most commonly associated with Internet Explorer, it is also used in other software.  CVE-2021-40444 received a CVSS score of 8.8 out of 10. MSHTML is the beating heart of Internet Explorer, the vulnerability also exists in that browser. Although given its limited use, there is little risk of infection by that vector. Microsoft Office applications use the MSHTML component to display web content in Office documents. The attack depends on MSHTML loading a specially crafted ActiveX control when the target opens a malicious Office document. The loaded ActiveX control can then run arbitrary code to infect the system with more malware. At the moment all supported Windows versions are vulnerable. Since there is no patch available yet, Microsoft proposes a few methods to block these attacks. \\\n1. Disable the installation of all ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer via the registry. Previously-installed ActiveX controls will still run, but no new ones will be added, including malicious ones. Open documents from the Internet in Protected View or Application Guard for Office, both of which prevent the current attack. This is a default setting but it may have been changed.", "references": ["https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/09/windows-mshtml-zero-day-actively-exploited-mitigations-required/", "https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-40444", "https://www.echotrail.io/insights/search/control.exe"], "tags": {"name": "Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution CVE-2021-40444", "analytic_story": "Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution CVE-2021-40444", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1218", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Binary Proxy Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Lazarus Group"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1218.002", "mitre_attack_technique": "Control Panel", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Ember Bear"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1566", "mitre_attack_technique": "Phishing", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Axiom", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1566.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Spearphishing Attachment", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT1", "APT12", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT30", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Ajax Security Team", "Andariel", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "BlackTech", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "DarkHydrus", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "EXOTIC LILY", "Elderwood", "Ember Bear", "FIN4", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Ferocious Kitten", "Gallmaker", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "IndigoZebra", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "Machete", "Mofang", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "Patchwork", "RTM", "Rancor", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TA459", "TA505", "TA551", "The White Company", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Transparent Tribe", "Tropic Trooper", "WIRTE", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "admin@338", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1218.011", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rundll32", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT38", "APT41", "Blue Mockingbird", "Carbanak", "CopyKittens", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Magic Hound", "MuddyWater", "Sandworm Team", "TA505", "TA551", "Wizard Spider"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Initial Access"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

This software, developed by Progress Software Corporation, a US-based company and its subsidiary Ipswitch, is a managed file transfer solution. It is used by thousands of organizations worldwide, including Chase, Disney, GEICO, and MLB, and by 3.5 million developers. The software allows for secure file transfers between business partners and customers using SFTP, SCP, and HTTP-based uploads.\\\nThe zero-day vulnerability has been exploited to steal data on a large scale from various organizations. The identity of the threat actors and the exact timeline of the exploitation remains unclear.

They suggested blocking external traffic to ports 80 and 445 on the MOVEit server and checking the c:\\MOVEitTransfer\\wwwroot\\ folder for unexpected files, including backups or large file downloads.\\\nBlocking these ports will prevent external access to the web UI, prevent some MOVEit Automation tasks from working, block APIs, and prevent the Outlook MOVEit plugin from working. However, SFTP and FTP/s protocols can continue to be used for file transfers.\\\nThere is currently no detailed information about the zero-day vulnerability. But based on the ports blocked and the specific location to check for unusual files, the flaw is likely a web-facing vulnerability.\\\nWhile Progress has officially confirmed that the vulnerability is being actively exploited, it is clear from several reports that multiple organizations have already had data stolen using this zero-day vulnerability. The exploitation appears very similar to the mass exploitation of a GoAnywhere MFT zero-day in January 2023 and the December 2020 zero-day exploitation of Accellion FTA servers.

Blizzard, is a sophisticated nation-state threat actor, reportedly associated with Russian intelligence. Active since at least 2008, this group primarily targets government networks in Europe and NATO member countries, along with research institutes and think tanks. Their operations typically involve advanced persistent threats (APT), leveraging techniques like spear-phishing, malware deployment, and long-term network compromise to achieve information theft and espionage. Notably, APT29 has been implicated in significant cyber espionage incidents, including the 2015 breach of the Pentagon's Joint Staff email system and attacks on the Democratic National Committee in 2016. Their advanced tactics and persistent approach underscore the serious nature of threats posed by this group to global cybersecurity.", "narrative": "This Analytic Story groups detections designed to

Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed a malicious certificate or for an application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address in a certificate to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the . character (decimal 46) on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service). In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests client authentication and a malicious client connects. Users of OpenSSL 3.0.0 - 3.0.6 are encouraged to upgrade to 3.0.7 as soon as possible. If you obtain your copy of OpenSSL from your Operating System vendor or other third party then you should seek to obtain an updated version from them as soon as possible.

This malware provides the attackers with remote access to the target system, decrypting and extracting a copy of its main DLL payload from its resource section. Before writing the payload to disk, it inserts a randomly generated string into the middle of the decrypted payload in an attempt to evade hash-based detections.\\\nAwareness of the Orangeworm group first surfaced in January, 2015. It has conducted targeted attacks against related industries, as well, such as pharmaceuticals and healthcare IT solution providers.\\\nHealthcare may be a promising target, because it is notoriously behind in technology, often using older operating systems and neglecting to patch computers. Even so, the group was able to evade detection for a full three years.

Customers using these older versions are advised to purchase an updated license online for PaperCut NG or through their PaperCut Partner for PaperCut MF. For users with a currently supported version (version 20 or later), they can upgrade to any maintenance release version they are licensed for.\\ If upgrading to a security patch is not possible, there are alternative options to enhance security. Users can lock down network access to their server(s) by blocking all inbound traffic from external IPs to the web management port (port 9191 and 9192 by default) and blocking all inbound traffic to the web management portal on the firewall to the server. Additionally, users can apply \"Allow list\" restrictions under Options > Advanced > Security > Allowed site server IP addresses, setting this to only allow the IP addresses of verified Site Servers on their network.\\\nThe vulnerabilities CVE-2023-27350 and CVE-2023-27351 have CVSS scores of 9.8 (Critical) and 8.2 (High), respectively. PaperCut and its partner network have activated response teams to assist PaperCut MF and NG customers, with service desks available 24/7 via their support page. The security response team at PaperCut has been working with external security advisors to compile a list of unpatched PaperCut MF/NG servers that have ports open on the public internet. They have been proactively reaching out to potentially exposed customers since Wednesday afternoon (AEST) and are working around the clock through the weekend.\\\nThe exploit was first detected in the wild on April 18th, 2023, at 03:30 AEST / April 17th, 2023, at 17:30 UTC. The earliest signature of suspicious activity on a customer server potentially linked to this vulnerability dates back to April 14th, 2023, at 01:29 AEST / April 13th, 2023, at 15:29 UTC.\\\nApplying the security fixes should not have any negative impact. Users can follow their usual upgrade procedure to obtain the upgrade. Additional links on the -Check for updates- page (accessed through the Admin interface > About > Version info > Check for updates) allow customers to download fixes for previous major versions that are still supported (e.g., 20.1.7 and 21.2.11) as well as the current version available.

for suspicious behaviors that resemble the techniques employed by the MUDCARP threat group.", "narrative": "This story was created as a joint effort between iDefense and Splunk.\\\niDefense analysts have recently discovered a Windows executable file that, upon execution, spoofs a decryption tool and then drops a file that appears to be the custom-built javascript backdoor, \"Orz,\" which is associated with the threat actors known as MUDCARP (as well as \"temp.Periscope\" and \"Leviathan\"). The file is executed using Wscript.\\\nThe MUDCARP techniques include the use of the compressed-folders module from Microsoft, zipfldr.dll, with RouteTheCall export to run the malicious process or command. After a successful reboot, the malware is made persistent by a manipulating `[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run]'help'='c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\rundll32.exe c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall c:\\\\programdata\\\\winapp.exe'`. Though this technique is not exclusive to MUDCARP, it has been spotted in the group's arsenal of advanced techniques seen in the wild.\\\nThis Analytic Story searches for evidence of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that allow for the use of a endpoint detection-and-response (EDR) bypass technique to mask the true parent of a malicious process. It can also be set as a registry key for further sandbox evasion and to allow the malware to launch only after reboot.\\\nIf behavioral searches included in this story yield positive hits, iDefense recommends conducting IOC searches for the following:\\\n\\\n1. www.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. about.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autoconfig.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. autodiscover.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. catalog.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. cpanel.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. db.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. ftp.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. mail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. news.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. update.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. webmail.chemscalere[.]com\\\n1. www.candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. candlelightparty[.]org\\\n1. newapp.freshasianews[.]comIn addition, iDefense also recommends that organizations review their environments for activity related to the following hashes:\\\n\\\n1. cd195ee448a3657b5c2c2d13e9c7a2e2\\\n1. b43ad826fe6928245d3c02b648296b43\\\n1. 889a9b52566448231f112a5ce9b5dfaf\\\n1. b8ec65dab97cdef3cd256cc4753f0c54\\\n1. 04d83cd3813698de28cfbba326d7647c", "references": ["https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/scope-of-mudcarp-attacks-highlight-1/", "http://blog.amossys.fr/badflick-is-not-so-bad.html"], "tags": {"name": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "analytic_story": "Possible Backdoor Activity Associated With MUDCARP Espionage Campaigns", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "PowerShell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "CopyKittens", "DarkHydrus", "DarkVishnya", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Gallmaker", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "Inception", "Indrik Spider", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MoustachedBouncer", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Poseidon Group", "Sandworm Team", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TA459", "TA505", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Thrip", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "WIRTE", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Windows Command Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT1", "APT18", "APT28", "APT3", "APT32", "APT37", "APT38", "APT41", "Aquatic Panda", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Ember Bear", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "Higaisa", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Silence", "Sowbug", "Suckfly", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-1314", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volt Typhoon", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "admin@338", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1059", "mitre_attack_technique": "Command and Scripting Interpreter", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT19", "APT32", "APT37", "APT39", "Dragonfly", "FIN5", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "Ke3chang", "OilRig", "Stealth Falcon", "Whitefly", "Windigo"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547", "mitre_attack_technique": "Boot or Logon Autostart Execution", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU -

MITRE ATT&CK).", "narrative": "QakBot notably has made its way on the CISA top malware list for 2021. QakBot for years has been under continious improvement when it comes to initial access, injection and post-exploitation. Multiple adversaries use QakBot to gain initial access and persist, most notably TA551. The actor(s) behind QakBot possess a modular framework consisting of maldoc builders, signed loaders, and DLLs that produce initially low detection rates at the beginning of the attack, which creates opportunities to deliver additional malware such as Egregor and Cobalt Strike. (ref. Cybersecurity ATT) The more recent campaigns utilize HTML smuggling to deliver a ISO container that has a LNK and QakBot payload. QakBot will either load via regsvr32.exe directly, it will attempt to perform DLL sideloading.", "references":

hostage until the victim pays the attacker a ransom. There are many types and varieties of ransomware that can affect an enterprise. Attackers can deploy ransomware to enterprises through spearphishing campaigns and driveby downloads, as well as through traditional remote service-based exploitation. In the case of the WannaCry campaign, there was self-propagating wormable functionality that was used to maximize infection. Fortunately, organizations can apply several techniques--such as those in this Analytic Story--to detect and or mitigate the effects of ransomware.", "references":

Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare and Public Health Sector. This alert details TTPs associated with ongoing and possible imminent attacks against the Healthcare sector, and is a joint advisory in coordination with other U.S. Government agencies. The objective of these malicious campaigns is to infiltrate targets in named sectors and to drop ransomware payloads, which will likely cause disruption of service and increase risk of actual harm to the health and safety of patients at hospitals, even with the aggravant of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This document specifically refers to several crimeware exploitation frameworks, emphasizing the use of Ryuk ransomware as payload. The Ryuk ransomware payload is not new. It has been well documented and identified in multiple variants. Payloads need a carrier, and for Ryuk it has often been exploitation frameworks such as Cobalt Strike, or popular crimeware frameworks such as Emotet or Trickbot.", "references":

The malicious software has affected and continues to affect thousands of victims and has raised almost $6M in ransom.\\\nAlthough categorized under the heading of ransomware, SamSam campaigns have some importance distinguishing characteristics. Most notable is the fact that conventional ransomware is a numbers game. Perpetrators use a \"spray-and-pray\" approach with phishing campaigns or other mechanisms, charging a small ransom (typically under $1,000). The goal is to find a large number of victims willing to pay these mini-ransoms, adding up to a lucrative payday. They use relatively simple methods for infecting systems.\\\nSamSam attacks are different beasts. They have become progressively more targeted and skillful than typical ransomware attacks. First, malicious actors break into a victim's network, surveil it, then run the malware manually. The attacks are tailored to cause maximum damage and the threat actors usually demand amounts in the tens of thousands of dollars.\\\nIn a typical attack on one large healthcare organization in 2018, the company ended up paying a ransom of four Bitcoins, then worth $56,707. Reports showed that access to the company's files was restored within two hours of paying the sum.\\\nAccording to Sophos, SamSam previously leveraged  RDP to gain access to targeted networks via brute force. SamSam is not spread automatically, like other malware. It requires skill because it forces the attacker to adapt their tactics to the individual environment. Next, the actors escalate their privileges to admin level. They scan the networks for worthy targets, using conventional tools, such as PsExec or PaExec, to deploy/execute, quickly encrypting files.\\\nThis Analytic Story includes searches designed to help detect and investigate signs of the SamSam ransomware, such as the creation of fileswrites to system32, writes with tell-tale extensions, batch files written to system32, and evidence of brute-force attacks via RDP.", "references": ["https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/an-in-depth-analysis-of-samsam-ransomware-and-boss-spider/",

technique T1053 refers to Scheduled Task/Job. Adversaries might use task scheduling utilities to execute programs or scripts at a predefined date and time. This method is often used for persistence but can also be used for privilege escalation or to execute tasks under certain conditions. Scheduling tasks can be beneficial for an attacker as it can allow them to execute actions at times when the system is less likely to be monitored actively. Different operating systems have different utilities for task scheduling, for example, Unix-like systems have Cron, while Windows has Scheduled Tasks and At Jobs.", "narrative": "MITRE ATT&CK technique T1053, labeled \"Scheduled Task/Job\", is a categorization of methods that adversaries use to execute malicious code by scheduling tasks or jobs on a system. This technique is widely utilized for persistence, privilege escalation, and the remote execution of tasks. The technique is applicable across various environments and platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.\\\nThe technique consists of multiple sub-techniques, each highlighting a distinct mechanism for scheduling tasks or jobs. These sub-techniques include T1053.001 (Scheduled Task), T1053.002 (At for Windows), T1053.003 (Cron), T1053.004 (Launchd), T1053.005 (At for Linux), and T1053.006 (Systemd Timers).\\\nScheduled Task (T1053.001) focuses on adversaries' methods for scheduling tasks on a Windows system to maintain persistence or escalate privileges. These tasks can be set to execute at specified times, in response to particular events, or after a defined time interval.\\\nThe At command for Windows (T1053.002) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Windows system. Adversaries may exploit this command to execute programs at system startup or at a predetermined schedule for persistence.\\\nCron (T1053.003) is a built-in job scheduler found in Unix-like operating systems. Adversaries can use cron jobs to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nLaunchd (T1053.004) is a service management framework present in macOS. Adversaries may utilize launchd to maintain persistence on macOS systems by setting up daemons or agents to execute at specific times or in response to defined events.\\\nThe At command for Linux (T1053.005) enables administrators to schedule tasks on a Linux system. Adversaries can use this command to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nSystemd Timers (T1053.006) offer a means of scheduling tasks on Linux systems using systemd. Adversaries can use systemd timers to execute programs at system startup or on a scheduled basis for persistence.\\\nDetection and mitigation strategies vary for each sub-technique. For instance, monitoring the creation of scheduled tasks or looking for uncorrelated changes to tasks that do not align with known software or patch cycles can be effective for detecting malicious activity related to this technique. Mitigation strategies may involve restricting permissions and applying application control solutions to prevent adversaries from scheduling tasks.", "references":

To conduct operations using this tool, the FSB created a covert peer-to-peer (P2P) network of numerous Snake-infected computers worldwide. Many systems in this P2P network serve as relay nodes which route disguised operational traffic to and from Snake implants on the FSB's ultimate targets. Snake's custom communications protocols employ encryption and fragmentation for confidentiality and are designed to hamper detection and collection efforts. We consider Snake to be the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool in the FSB's arsenal. The sophistication of Snake stems from three principal areas. First, Snake employs means to achieve a rare level of stealth in its host components and network communications. Second, Snake's internal technical architecture allows for easy incorporation of new or replacement components. This design also facilitates the development and interoperability of Snake instances running on different host operating systems. We have observed interoperable Snake implants for Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Lastly, Snake demonstrates careful software engineering design and implementation, with the implant containing surprisingly few bugs given its complexity.

"Monitor for activities and techniques associated with Windows Active Directory persistence techniques.", "narrative": "Persistence consists of techniques that adversaries use to keep access to systems across restarts, changed credentials, and other interruptions that could cut off their access. Active Directory is a centralized and hierarchical database that stores information about users, computers, and other resources on a network. It provides secure and efficient management of these resources and enables administrators to enforce security policies and delegate administrative tasks.\\\nIn 2015 Active Directory security researcher Sean Metcalf published a blog post titled `Sneaky Active Directory Persistence Tricks`. In this blog post, Sean described several methods through which an attacker could persist administrative access on an Active Directory network after having Domain Admin level rights for a short period of time. At the time of writing, 8 years after the initial blog post, most of these techniques are still possible since they abuse legitimate administrative functionality and not software vulnerabilities. Security engineers defending Active Directory networks should be aware of these technique available to adversaries post exploitation and deploy both preventive and detective security controls for them.\\\nThis analytic story groups detection opportunities for most of the techniques described on Seans blog post as well as other high impact attacks against Active Directory networks and Domain Controllers like DCSync and DCShadow. For some of these detection opportunities, it is necessary to enable the necessary GPOs and SACLs required, otherwise the event codes will not trigger. Each detection includes a list of requirements for enabling logging.", "references": ["https://adsecurity.org/?p=1929", "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz6haohGAMc&feature=youtu.be",

simplicity, phishing remains the most pervasive and dangerous cyberthreat. In fact, research shows that as many as [91% of all successful attacks](https://digitalguardian.com/blog/91-percent-cyber-attacks-start-phishing-email-heres-how-protect-against-phishing) are initiated via a phishing email. \\\nAs most people know, these emails use fraudulent domains, [email scraping](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), familiar contact names inserted as senders, and other tactics to lure targets into clicking a malicious link, opening an attachment with a [nefarious payload](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/), or entering sensitive personal information that perpetrators may intercept. This attack technique requires a relatively low level of skill and allows adversaries to easily cast a wide net. Worse, because its success relies on the gullibility of humans, it's impossible to completely \"automate\" it out of your environment. However, you can use ES and ESCU to detect and investigate potentially malicious payloads injected into your environment subsequent to a phishing attack. \\\nWhile any kind of file may contain a malicious payload, some are more likely to be perceived as benign (and thus more often escape notice) by the average victim&#151;especially when the attacker sends an email that seems to be from one of their contacts. An example is Microsoft Office files. Most corporate users are familiar with documents with the following suffixes: .doc/.docx (MS Word), .xls/.xlsx (MS Excel), and .ppt/.pptx (MS PowerPoint), so they may click without a second thought, slashing a hole in their organizations' security. \\\nFollowing is a typical series of events, according to an [article by Trend Micro](https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/rising-trend-attackers-using-lnk-files-download-malware/):\\\n1. Attacker sends a phishing email. Recipient downloads the attached file, which is typically a .docx or .zip file with an embedded .lnk file\\\n1. The .lnk file executes a PowerShell script\\\n1. Powershell executes a reverse shell, rendering the exploit successful </ol>As a side note, adversaries are likely to use a tool like Empire to craft and obfuscate payloads and their post-injection activities, such as [exfiltration, lateral movement, and persistence](https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire).\\\nThis Analytic Story focuses on detecting signs that a malicious payload has been injected into your environment. For example, one search detects outlook.exe writing a .zip file.

By pointing to a maliciously-crafted DLL with an exported function that always returns a known good signature value, an adversary can apply an acceptable signature value to all files using that SIP.

The signature validation process is handled via the WinVerifyTrust application programming interface (API) function, which accepts an inquiry and coordinates with the appropriate trust provider, which is responsible for validating parameters of a signature. Because of the varying executable file types and corresponding signature formats, Microsoft created software components called Subject Interface Packages (SIPs) to provide a layer of abstraction between API functions and files. SIPs are responsible for enabling API functions to create, retrieve, calculate, and verify signatures.

Text4shell, similar to the old Spring4Shell and Log4Shell, was originally reported by Alvaro Munoz on the very popular Apache Commons Text library.", "narrative": "Apache Commons Text is a Java library described as \"a library focused on algorithms working on strings.\" We can see it as a general-purpose text manipulation toolkit. This vulnerability affects the StringSubstitutor interpolator class, which is included in the Commons Text library. A default interpolator allows for string lookups that can lead to Remote Code Execution. This is due to a logic flaw that makes the \"script,\" \"dns,\" and \"url\" lookup keys interpolated by default, as opposed to what it should be, according to the documentation of the StringLookupFactory class. Those keys allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via lookups. In order to exploit the vulnerabilities, the following requirements must be met - Run a version of Apache Commons Text from version 1.5 to 1.9 and use the StringSubstitutor interpolator. It is important to specify that the StringSubstitutor interpolator is not as widely used as the string substitution in Log4j, which led to Log4Shell. According to the CVSSv3 system, it scores 9.8 as CRITICAL severity. The severity is Critical due to the easy exploitability and huge potential impact in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As we showed in the previous section, you can take full control over the vulnerable system with a crafted request. However, it is not likely the vulnerabilities will have the same impacts as the previous Log4Shell and Spring4Shell.", "references": ["https://sysdig.com/blog/cve-2022-42889-text4shell/"], "tags":

This software is widely used for intelligent operations management across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, so a vulnerability in it poses a significant risk to many organizations.\\\nThis particular vulnerability lies in the application's Apache Thrift RPC interface. The exploit allows an attacker to inject commands that are executed with root privileges, leading to a potential total compromise of the system. The attacker does not need to be authenticated, which further increases the risk posed by this vulnerability.\\\nThe exploit operates by sending a specially crafted payload to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint. This payload contains a reverse shell command, which, when executed, allows the attacker to remotely control the victim's system. This control is obtained at the root level, providing the attacker with the ability to perform any action on the system.\\\nWhat makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous is its high severity score of 9.8, indicating it is a critical threat. It's also noteworthy that the exploitation of this vulnerability leaves specific indicators such as abnormal traffic to the \"/saas./resttosaasservlet\" endpoint and suspicious ncat commands in network traffic, which can help in its detection.\\\nVMware has acknowledged the vulnerability and has published a security advisory recommending that users update to the latest version of the software. This update effectively patches the vulnerability and protects systems from this exploit. It's crucial that all users of the affected versions of VMware's vRealize Network Insight promptly apply the update to mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2023-20887.", "references": ["https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20887", "https://summoning.team/blog/vmware-vrealize-network-insight-rce-cve-2023-20887/", "https://viz.greynoise.io/tag/VMware-aria-operations-for-networks-rce-attempt?days=30", "https://github.com/sinsinology/CVE-2023-20887"], "tags": {"name": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "analytic_story": "VMware Aria Operations vRealize CVE-2023-20887", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1133", "mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT41", "Chimera", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "FIN5", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "LAPSUS$", "Leviathan", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "Scattered Spider", "TEMP.Veles", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1210", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Lateral Movement"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN7", "Fox Kitten", "MuddyWater", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1068", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT33", "BITTER", "Cobalt Group", "FIN6", "FIN8", "LAPSUS$", "MoustachedBouncer", "PLATINUM", "Scattered Spider", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Turla", "Whitefly", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Lateral Movement", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "VMWare Aria Operations Exploit Attempt", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "External Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation of Remote Services"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploitation for Privilege Escalation"}]}}]}, {"name": "VMware Server Side Injection and Privilege Escalation", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2022-05-19", "version": 1, "id": "d6d51cc2-a092-43b7-9f61-1159943afe39", "description": "Recently disclosed CVE-2022-22954 and CVE-2022-22960 have been identified in the wild abusing VMware products to compromise internet faced devices and escalate privileges.", "narrative": "On April 6, 2022, VMware published VMSA-2022-0011, which discloses multiple vulnerabilities discovered by Steven Seeley (mr_me) of Qihoo 360 Vulnerability Research Institute.

(Ave maria) RAT. This analytic story looks for suspicious process execution, command-line activity, downloads, persistence, defense evasion and more.", "narrative": "Warzone RAT, also known as Ave Maria, is a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT) that surfaced in January 2019. Originally offered as malware-as-a-service (MaaS), it rapidly gained notoriety and became one of the most prominent malware strains by 2020. Its exceptional capabilities in stealth and anti-analysis techniques make it a formidable threat in various campaigns, including those targeting sensitive geopolitical entities. The malware's impact is particularly concerning as it has been associated with attacks aimed at compromising government employees and military personnel, notably within India's National Informatics Centre (NIC). Its deployment by several advanced persistent threat (APT) groups further underlines its potency and adaptability in the hands of skilled threat actors. Warzone RAT's capabilities enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to targeted systems, facilitating data theft, surveillance, and the potential to wreak havoc on critical infrastructures. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures are crucial in defending against such malicious tools.\" This version provides more context and elaborates on the malware's capabilities and potential impact. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity measures to combat such threats effectively.", "references":

Bootkits reside at a layer below the operating system and may make it difficult to perform full remediation unless an organization suspects one was used and can act accordingly.", "narrative": "A bootkit is a sophisticated type of malware that targets the boot sectors of a hard drive, specifically the Master Boot Record (MBR) and Volume Boot Record (VBR). The MBR is the initial section of the disk that is loaded following the hardware initialization process executed by the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). It houses the boot loader, which is responsible for loading the operating system. In contrast, the VBR is located at the beginning of each partition and contains the boot code for that specific partition. When an adversary gains raw access to the boot drive, they can overwrite the MBR or VBR, effectively diverting the execution during startup from the standard boot loader to the malicious code injected by the attacker. This tampering allows the malware to load before the operating system, enabling it to execute malicious activities stealthily and maintain persistence on the compromised system. Bootkits are particularly dangerous because they can bypass security measures implemented by the operating system and antivirus software. Since they load before the operating system, they can easily evade detection and manipulate the system's behavior from the earliest stages of the boot process. This capability makes bootkits a potent tool in an attacker's arsenal for gaining unauthorized access, stealing sensitive information, or launching further attacks on other systems. To defend against bootkit attacks, organizations should implement multiple layers of security, including strong endpoint protection, regular software updates, user awareness training, and monitoring for unusual system behavior. Additionally, hardware-based security features, such as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot and Trusted Platform Module (TPM), can help protect the integrity of the boot process and reduce the risk of bootkit infections.", "references": ["https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/04/11/guidance-for-investigating-attacks-using-cve-2022-21894-the-blacklotus-campaign/", "https://www.welivesecurity.com/2023/03/01/blacklotus-uefi-bootkit-myth-confirmed/"], "tags": {"name": "Windows BootKits", "analytic_story": "Windows BootKits", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1542.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1542", "mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1547.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT18", "APT19", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT39", "APT41", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dark Caracal", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "Higaisa", "Inception", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "PROMETHIUM", "Patchwork", "Putter Panda", "RTM", "Rocke", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Windshift", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Windows BootLoader Inventory - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Registry BootExecute Modification - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Windows BootLoader Inventory", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "System Firmware"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Registry BootExecute Modification", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Pre-OS Boot"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Certificate Services", "author": "Michael Haag, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-01", "version": 1, "id": "b92b4ac7-0026-4408-a6b5-c1d20658e124", "description": "Adversaries may steal or forge certificates used for authentication to access remote systems or resources. Digital certificates are often used to sign and encrypt messages and/or files. Certificates are also used as authentication material.", "narrative": "The following analytic story focuses on remote and local endpoint certificate theft and abuse. Authentication certificates can be both stolen and forged. For example, AD CS certificates can be stolen from encrypted storage (in the Registry or files), misplaced certificate files (i.e. Unsecured Credentials), or directly from the Windows certificate store via various crypto APIs.With appropriate enrollment rights, users and/or machines within a domain can also request and/or manually renew certificates from enterprise certificate authorities (CA). This enrollment process defines various settings and permissions associated with the certificate. Abusing certificates for authentication credentials may enable other behaviors such as Lateral Movement. Certificate-related misconfigurations may also enable opportunities for Privilege Escalation, by way of allowing users to impersonate or assume privileged accounts or permissions via the identities (SANs) associated with a certificate.

A driver typically has a file extension of .sys, however the internals of a sys file is similar to a Windows DLL. For Microsoft Windows to load a driver, a few requirements are needed. First, it must have a valid signature. Second, typically it should load from the windows\\system32\\drivers path. There are a few methods to investigate drivers in the environment. Drivers are noisy. An inventory of all drivers is important to understand prevalence. A driver location (Path) is also important when attempting to baseline. Looking at a driver name and path is not enough, we must also explore the signing information. Product, description, company name, signer and signing result are all items to take into account when reviewing drivers. What makes a driver malicious? Depending if a driver was dropped during a campaign or you are baselining drivers after, triaging a driver to determine maliciousness may be tough.

Multiple binaries were dropped onto the system via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), some of which were flagged as potential exploits for a known vulnerability. However, a string containing the Russian term for \"0day\" suggested an unknown vulnerability was at play. Subsequent investigations identified this as a zero-day vulnerability affecting the Windows Error Reporting (WER) component, now known as CVE-2023-36874. \\\nThe WER service's function is to report software issues on Windows hosts. The exploit centered around manipulating the WER service by redirecting file systems to execute attacker-controlled code with elevated privileges. This was achieved by creating a symbolic link redirection from the C:\\ drive to an attacker-controlled directory, and then triggering certain WER functions. Consequently, an unauthorized executable was run instead of the legitimate one, giving the attacker high-level access. \\\nThe observed exploit kit's primary objective was to initiate a privileged interpreter, such as cmd.exe or powershell_ise.exe. If this couldn't be achieved, a privileged scheduled task was created as an alternative. The exploit kit showcased a range of binaries, some packed and others not, some in C++ and others in pure C. This diversity suggests the knowledge of the vulnerability was likely shared among different developers. \\\nCrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations, as of now, hasn't linked this activity to any specific threat actor. They've provided potential indicators of compromise, but caution that these are easily changed, indicating the advanced capabilities of the adversaries.", "references": ["https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/falcon-complete-zero-day-exploit-cve-2023-36874/"], "tags": {"name": "Windows Error Reporting Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability", "analytic_story": "Windows Error Reporting Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1036", "mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT32", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Kimsuky", "LazyScripter", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Windshift", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1036.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "GALLIUM", "Lazarus Group", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1055", "mitre_attack_technique": "Process Injection", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "APT37", "APT41", "Cobalt Group", "Kimsuky", "PLATINUM", "Silence", "TA2541", "Turla", "Wizard Spider"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1053.005", "mitre_attack_technique": "Scheduled Task", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Blue Mockingbird", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Dragonfly", "FIN10", "FIN13", "FIN6", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "HEXANE", "Higaisa", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LuminousMoth", "Machete", "Magic Hound", "Molerats", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Naikon", "OilRig", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Silence", "Stealth Falcon", "TA2541", "TEMP.Veles", "Wizard Spider", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1053", "mitre_attack_technique": "Scheduled Task/Job", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Earth Lusca"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Execution", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - System Processes Run From Unexpected Locations - Rule", "ESCU - Windows Process Injection Wermgr Child Process - Rule", "ESCU - WinEvent Scheduled Task Created to Spawn Shell - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "System Processes Run From Unexpected Locations", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}, {"name": "Windows Process Injection Wermgr Child Process", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Anomaly", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Process Injection"}]}}, {"name": "WinEvent Scheduled Task Created to Spawn Shell", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Scheduled Task"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Scheduled Task/Job"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2018-01-26", "version": 1, "id": "30552a76-ac78-48e4-b3c0-de4e34e9563d", "description": "Detect and investigate suspected abuse of file extensions and Windows file associations. Some of the malicious behaviors involved may include inserting spaces before file extensions or prepending the file extension with a different one, among other techniques.", "narrative": "Attackers use a variety of techniques to entice users to run malicious code or to persist on an endpoint. One way to accomplish these goals is to leverage file extensions and the mechanism Windows uses to associate files with specific applications. \\\n Since its earliest days, Windows has used extensions to identify file types. Users have become familiar with these extensions and their application associations. For example, if users see that a file ends in `.doc` or `.docx`, they will assume that it is a Microsoft Word document and expect that double-clicking will open it using `winword.exe`. The user will typically also presume that the `.docx` file is safe. \\\n Attackers take advantage of this expectation by obfuscating the true file extension. They can accomplish this in a couple of ways. One technique involves inserting multiple spaces in the file name before the extension to hide the extension from the GUI, obscuring the true nature of the file. Another approach involves prepending the real extension with a different one. This is especially effective when Windows is configured to \"hide extensions for known file types.\" In this case, the real extension is not displayed, but the prepended one is, leading end users to believe the file is a different type than it actually is.\\\nChanging the association between a file extension and an application can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The technique typically involves changing the association for an often-launched file type to associate instead with a malicious program the attacker has dropped on the endpoint. When the end user launches a file that has been manipulated in this way, it will execute the attacker's malware. It will also execute the application the end user expected to run, cleverly obscuring the fact that something suspicious has occurred.\\\nRun the searches in this story to detect and investigate suspicious behavior that may indicate abuse or manipulation of Windows file extensions and/or associations.", "references": ["https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2013/12/file-extensions-2/", "https://attack.mitre.org/wiki/Technique/T1042"], "tags": {"name": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "analytic_story": "Windows File Extension and Association Abuse", "category": ["Malware"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1036.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT32", "GALLIUM", "Lazarus Group", "menuPass"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1546.001", "mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["Kimsuky"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1036", "mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT32", "BRONZE BUTLER", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Kimsuky", "LazyScripter", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Windshift", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Defense Evasion", "Persistence", "Privilege Escalation"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Exploitation", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension - Rule", "ESCU - Suspicious Changes to File Associations - Rule", "ESCU - Execution of File with Multiple Extensions - Rule"], "investigation_names": ["ESCU - Get Notable History - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Parent Process Info - Response Task", "ESCU - Get Process Info - Response Task"], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Rico Valdez", "detections": [{"name": "Execution of File With Spaces Before Extension", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}, {"name": "Suspicious Changes to File Associations", "source": "deprecated", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Change Default File Association"}]}}, {"name": "Execution of File with Multiple Extensions", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Masquerading"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Rename System Utilities"}]}}]}, {"name": "Windows Log Manipulation", "author": "Rico Valdez, Splunk", "date": "2017-09-12", "version": 2, "id": "b6db2c60-a281-48b4-95f1-2cd99ed56835", "description": "Adversaries often try to cover their tracks by manipulating Windows logs.

This vulnerability was exploited by cybercriminals to craft ZIP archives containing malicious and non-malicious files, distributed on specialized trading forums. The exploit allowed them to spoof file extensions, hiding the launch of malicious scripts within an archive masquerading as a '.jpg', '.txt', or any other file format. When victims opened the specially crafted archive, it executed the malware, leading to unauthorized access to their broker accounts and enabling the cybercriminals to perform illicit financial transactions and withdraw funds. \\\nThe vulnerability was discovered while researching the spread of DarkMe malware, a VisualBasic spy Trojan attributed to the financially motivated group, Evilnum. The malware was distributed alongside other malware families, such as GuLoader and Remcos RAT, via malicious ZIP archives posted on popular trading forums or distributed via file-sharing services. Despite efforts by forum administrators to warn users and disable threat actors' accounts, the cybercriminals continued to spread the malicious files, compromising devices, and leading to financial losses. \\\nGroup-IB immediately notified RARLAB about the vulnerability, and they promptly responded by issuing a patch. The beta version of the patch was released on July 20, 2023, and the final updated version, WinRAR 6.23, was released on August 2, 2023. Group-IB recommends all users install the latest version of WinRAR to mitigate the risk of exploitation. \\\nIn conclusion, the exploitation of the CVE-2023-38831 vulnerability highlights the constant risks associated with software vulnerabilities and the importance of remaining vigilant, keeping systems updated, and following security guidelines to avoid falling victim to such attacks. Collaboration between security researchers and software developers is essential to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, making it harder for cybercriminals to exploit them.", "references": ["https://www.group-ib.com/blog/cve-2023-38831-winrar-zero-day/", "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-38831"], "tags": {"name": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "analytic_story": "WinRAR Spoofing Attack CVE-2023-38831", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1105", "mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT-C-36", "APT18", "APT28", "APT29", "APT3", "APT32", "APT33", "APT37", "APT38", "APT39", "APT41", "Ajax Security Team", "Andariel", "Aquatic Panda", "BITTER", "BRONZE BUTLER", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Chimera", "Cobalt Group", "Confucius", "Darkhotel", "Dragonfly", "Elderwood", "Ember Bear", "Evilnum", "FIN13", "FIN7", "FIN8", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "Gamaredon Group", "Gorgon Group", "HAFNIUM", "HEXANE", "IndigoZebra", "Indrik Spider", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Lazarus Group", "LazyScripter", "Leviathan", "LuminousMoth", "Magic Hound", "Metador", "Molerats", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Mustang Panda", "Nomadic Octopus", "OilRig", "PLATINUM", "Patchwork", "Rancor", "Rocke", "Sandworm Team", "SideCopy", "Sidewinder", "Silence", "TA2541", "TA505", "TA551", "TeamTNT", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Turla", "Volatile Cedar", "WIRTE", "Whitefly", "Windshift", "Winnti Group", "Wizard Spider", "ZIRCONIUM", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Command And Control"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Command and Control"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - WinRAR Spawning Shell Application - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "WinRAR Spawning Shell Application", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Ingress Tool Transfer"}]}}]}, {"name": "Winter Vivern", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Splunk", "date": "2023-02-16", "version": 1, "id": "5ce5f311-b311-4568-90ca-0c36781d07a4", "description": "Utilize searches that enable you to detect and investigate unusual activities potentially related to the Winter Vivern malicious software.

The two critical vulnerabilities are CVE-2023-40044, a .NET deserialization flaw, and CVE-2023-42657, a directory traversal vulnerability. Rapid7 has observed active exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Affected versions are prior to 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. Immediate action is advised - upgrade to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure. This comes in the wake of increased scrutiny following the Cl0p ransomware attack on MOVEit Transfer in May 2023.", "narrative": "Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in WS_FTP Server, a widely-used secure file transfer solution. The first, CVE-2023-40044, is a .NET deserialization flaw that targets the Ad Hoc Transfer module of WS_FTP Server versions earlier than 8.7.4 and 8.8.2. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server's operating system without needing authentication. The second vulnerability, CVE-2023-42657, is a directory traversal flaw that allows attackers to perform unauthorized file operations outside of their authorized WS_FTP folder. In severe cases, the attacker could escape the WS_FTP Server file structure and perform operations on the underlying operating system. Both vulnerabilities have been observed being exploited in the wild and immediate action for mitigation is strongly advised. Updating to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2 is recommended. For those unable to update, disabling the Ad Hoc Transfer module is suggested as a temporary measure.", "references": ["https://www.assetnote.io/resources/research/rce-in-progress-ws-ftp-ad-hoc-via-iis-http-modules-cve-2023-40044", "https://community.progress.com/s/article/WS-FTP-Server-Critical-Vulnerability-September-2023", "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-40044", "https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/09/29/etr-critical-vulnerabilities-in-ws_ftp-server/", "https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/security/fantastic-iis-modules-and-how-to-find-them.html"], "tags": {"name": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "analytic_story": "WS FTP Server Critical Vulnerabilities", "category": ["Adversary Tactics"], "product": ["Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Enterprise Security", "Splunk Cloud"], "usecase": "Advanced Threat Detection", "mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_id": "T1505", "mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.003", "mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT32", "APT38", "APT39", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "Deep Panda", "Dragonfly", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "HAFNIUM", "Kimsuky", "Leviathan", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "OilRig", "Sandworm Team", "TEMP.Veles", "Threat Group-3390", "Tonto Team", "Tropic Trooper", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon"]}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1505.004", "mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Persistence"], "mitre_attack_groups": []}, {"mitre_attack_id": "T1190", "mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application", "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access"], "mitre_attack_groups": ["APT28", "APT29", "APT39", "APT41", "Axiom", "BackdoorDiplomacy", "BlackTech", "Blue Mockingbird", "Dragonfly", "Earth Lusca", "FIN13", "Fox Kitten", "GALLIUM", "GOLD SOUTHFIELD", "HAFNIUM", "Ke3chang", "Kimsuky", "Magic Hound", "Moses Staff", "MuddyWater", "Rocke", "Threat Group-3390", "Volatile Cedar", "Volt Typhoon", "menuPass"]}], "mitre_attack_tactics": ["Initial Access", "Persistence"], "datamodels": ["Endpoint", "Web"], "kill_chain_phases": ["Delivery", "Installation"]}, "detection_names": ["ESCU - Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior - Rule", "ESCU - W3WP Spawning Shell - Rule", "ESCU - Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query - Rule", "ESCU - WS FTP Remote Code Execution - Rule"], "investigation_names": [], "baseline_names": [], "author_company": "Splunk", "author_name": "Michael Haag", "detections": [{"name": "Detect Webshell Exploit Behavior", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "W3WP Spawning Shell", "source": "endpoint", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Web Shell"}]}}, {"name": "Windows IIS Components Get-WebGlobalModule Module Query", "source": "endpoint", "type": "Hunting", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "IIS Components"}, {"mitre_attack_technique": "Server Software Component"}]}}, {"name": "WS FTP Remote Code Execution", "source": "web", "type": "TTP", "tags": {"mitre_attack_enrichments": [{"mitre_attack_technique": "Exploit Public-Facing Application"}]}}]}, {"name": "XMRig", "author": "Teoderick Contreras, Rod Soto Splunk", "date": "2021-05-07", "version": 1, "id": "06723e6a-6bd8-4817-ace2-5fb8a7b06628", "description": "Leverage searches that allow you to detect and investigate unusual activities that might relate to the xmrig monero, including looking for file writes associated with its payload, process command-line, defense evasion (killing services, deleting users, modifying files or folder permission, killing other malware or other coin miner) and hacking tools including Telegram as mean of Command And Control (C2) to download other files.
