Why the Emotet Resurgence by AdvIntel
AdvIntel researchers report a resurgence of Emotet malware, driven by high loader demand, decline in RaaS models, and organized crime syndicates like Conti. Initiated by former Ryuk and Emotet operators, this resurgence predicts a rise in Conti ransomware, similar to past alliances with TrickBot and Ryuk.
CVE-2017-11882
CVE-2017-11882 affects several versions of Microsoft Office, allowing remote users to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user by improperly handling objects in memory. The vulnerability resides in the old Equation Editor (EQNEDT32.EXE), which is used to insert and evaluate mathematical formulas in Office documents. Due to the use of an older compiler, EQNEDT32.EXE does not support address space layout randomization (ASLR), making it easier for attackers to exploit memory-corruption vulnerabilities. This guide focuses on detecting potential malicious Microsoft Office payloads exploiting CVE-2017-11882 on host systems.
Abuse SilentCleanup Task
The Windows SilentCleanup task, designed to run cleanmgr.exe, can be exploited by altering environment variables to run any file with admin rights, posing a significant security risk.
Server-Side Includes(SSI) Injection
Server-Side Includes (SSI) allow dynamic code within static HTML pages but can lead to Remote Command Execution (RCE) if improperly configured. Most web servers disable the exec directive by default to prevent this. SSI injection is similar to scripting language injection vulnerabilities, necessitating careful security measures.
Rubeus Createnetonly
Rubeus createnetonly uses CreateProcessWithLogonW() API to create hidden processes with a NewCredentials logon type. This method allows for the application of specific Kerberos tickets while preserving existing TGTs in the current logon session, ensuring secure and efficient credential management.
Publicly exposed Docker API
Publicly exposed Docker Remote APIs on ports 2375/2376 pose significant security risks. Combined with CVE-2019-5736, which allows root access from a container, these vulnerabilities can lead to a fully compromised host. By default, the remote API should only be accessible locally to prevent unauthorized access and potential network threats.
