pls appreciate i wore an aqua colored sweater to talk about aquabot

🚨Active exploitation attempt🚨
Akamai Security Intelligence and Response Team (SIRT) has identified a new variant of the Mirai-based Aquabot, dubbed Aquabotv3 keeping in line with the naming conventions of the first two.

it is using CVE-2024-41710, a command injection vulnerability that affects Mitel SIP models. There was a POC made public in august 2024 but this is the first time it's been seen actively seeking exploitation ITW.

not only that! This malware exhibits a behavior we have never before seen with a Mirai variant: a function (report_kill) to report back to the C2 when a kill signal was caught on the infected device.

We (we = the SIRT) have not seen any response from the C2 as of the date this was originally posted (Jan. 28, 2024).

Incredible work Larry Cashdollar and Kyle Lefton 🎉

@campuscodi Kudos to @h4sh for assigning the CVE to the actively exploited CrushFTP zero-day: https://infosec.exchange/@h4sh/112316550866303546

According to his analysis and patch diffing, the CVSSv3 score for CVE-2024-4040 is 7.7 HIGH: Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N

Did some patch diffing on the new #crushFTP bug, and it does look like the bug has 2 components and at least one of them need some form of authentication to exploit (need creation of something).
After the first stage, the reading of the file outside of VFS sandbox might not need authentication. I am not sure.

Shoutout to @h4sh for getting a CVE ID assigned to this actively exploited zero-day CrushFTP vulnerability: CVE-2024-4040 (reported by Simon Garrelou, of Airbus CERT). https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-4040

VFS Sandbox Escape in CrushFTP in all versions before 10.7.1 and 11.1.0 on all platforms allows remote attackers with low privileges to read files from the filesystem outside of VFS Sandbox.

Microsoft reported that APT28 (Fancy Bear, Forest Blizzard) used a custom tool to elevate privileges and steal credentials in compromised networks. This GooseEgg tool leveraged CVE-2022-38028 (7.8 high, disclosed 11 October 2022 by Microsoft; Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability) as a zero-day since at least June 2020 (possibly as early as April 2019) which was 2 years 4 months. APT28 is publicly attributed to Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).

Palo Alto Networks released additional details about CVE-2024-3400: the fact that it is a combination of two bugs in PAN-OS; how an attacker was exploiting it; how disabling telemetry initially worked; and how they fixed it. The timeline from discovery to remediation encompasses the whole blog post. Overall a comprehensive after-action review from a company that notified the public almost immediately of an exploited zero-day. 🔗https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2024/04/more-on-the-pan-os-cve/

In case you missed it, Palo Alto Networks updated their security advisory in terms of product and mitigation guidance, exploit status, and PAN-OS fix availability: 🔗 https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-3400

• Exploitation status: Proof of concepts for this vulnerability have been publicly disclosed by third parties.
• Workarounds and mitigations: In earlier versions of this advisory, disabling device telemetry was listed as a secondary mitigation action. Disabling device telemetry is no longer an effective mitigation. Device telemetry does not need to be enabled for PAN-OS firewalls to be exposed to attacks related to this vulnerability.
• Solution:
  • - 10.2.6-h3 (Released 4/16/24)
  • - 11.0.3-h10 (Released 4/16/24)
  • - 11.0.2-h4 (Released 4/16/24)
