∗∗∗ FBI warns of fake verification schemes targeting dating app users ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The FBI is warning of fake verification schemes promoted by fraudsters on online dating platforms that lead to costly recurring subscription charges. [..] It starts with fraudsters approaching victims on a dating app or site and developing a romantic rapport. This lays the ground for requesting to take the conversation outside the platform onto a supposedly safer communications tool. At this stage, the fraudster sends a link to the victim that will take them to a seemingly legitimate verification platform where the victim will have to verify they're not a sexual offender.

[..] Of the 4.79 million imageless Docker Hub repositories uncovered, 3.2 million of them are said to have been used as landing pages to redirect unsuspecting users to fraudulent sites as part of three broad campaigns.

---------------------------------------------
Beim Schreiben unserer Stellungnahmen zum Entwurf des NISG 2024 habe ich mir die Paragrafen, die uns betreffen, genauer angesehen. Diesmal nicht mit dem Blickwinkel „macht das Sinn“, sondern mit Fokus auf die Formulierungen. Das erinnert mich ein bisschen an die Zeit, als ich bei der Erstellung von RFCs mitgearbeitet habe und da auch bei Reviews jedes Wort genau auf mögliche Fehldeutungen abgeklopft habe. Ich hatte beim Lesen drei Dokumente offen: den Gesetzesentwurf, die Richtlinie in der deutschen Version und auch die englische Fassung. Und viele der schlechten Formulierungen waren keine Erfindungen aus Wien, sondern wurden schon in Brüssel erfunden. Ich will das hier dokumentieren.

On April 10, 2024, Volexity identified zero-day exploitation of a vulnerability found within the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS at one of its network security monitoring (NSM) customers. During its investigation, Volexity observed that UTA0218 attempted to install a custom Python backdoor, which Volexity calls UPSTYLE, on the firewall. The UPSTYLE backdoor allows the attacker to execute additional commands on the device via specially crafted network requests. Details on this backdoor are included further on in this report.

∗∗∗ VU#123335: Multiple Programming Languages Fail to Escape Arguments Properly in Microsoft Windows ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Various programming languages lack proper validation mechanisms for commands and in some cases also fail to escape arguments correctly when invoking commands within a Microsoft Windows environment. The command injection vulnerability in these programming languages, when running on Windows, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code disguised as arguments to the command.

∗∗∗ New SharePoint flaws help hackers evade detection when stealing files ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Researchers have discovered two techniques that could enable attackers to bypass audit logs or generate less severe entries when downloading files from SharePoint. [..] Varonis disclosed these bugs in November 2023, and Microsoft added the flaws to a patch backlog for future fixing. However, the issues were rated as moderate severity, so they won't receive immediate fixes. Therefore, SharePoint admins should be aware of these risks and learn to identify and mitigate them until patches become available.

∗∗∗ The Illusion of Privacy: Geolocation Risks in Modern Dating Apps ∗∗∗

Key takeaways Introduction Dating apps traditionally utilize location data, offering the opportunity to connect with people nearby, and enhancing the chances of real-life meetings. Some apps can also display the distance of the user to other users. This feature is quite useful for coordinating meetups, indicating whether a potential match is just a short distance away or a kilometer apart. However, openly sharing your distance with other users can create serious security issues. The risks become apparent when you consider the potential misuse by a curious individual armed with advanced knowledge of techniques like trilateration.

In Windows gibt es eine Schwachstelle (CVE-2024-21320), die NTLM-Anmeldeinformationen über Windows-Themen offen legt. Microsoft hat zwar im Januar 2024 die Schwachstelle CVE-2024-21320 mit einem Patch versehen. Dieser Patch stellt eine Richtlinie bereit, um das Abrufen der NTLM-Anmeldeinformationen zu verhindern, wenn Theme-Dateien auf Netzlaufwerken liegen. ACROS Security hat nun einen Micropatch für den 0patch-Agenten veröffentlicht, der die Schwachstelle generell (ohne Registrierungseingriff) schließt.

We share Proofpoint’s assessment that Latrodectus will become increasingly used by financially motivated threat actors across the criminal landscape, particularly those who previously distributed IcedID.. This research highlights the value of collaborative work between commercial threat intelligence companies, piecing together distinct viewpoints to provide a more complete picture of malicious activities.

∗∗∗ Byakugan – The Malware Behind a Phishing Attack ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
FortiGuard Labs has uncovered the Byakugan malware behind a recent malware campaign distributed by malicious PDF files [..] In January 2024, FortiGuard Labs collected a PDF file written in Portuguese that distributes a multi-functional malware known as Byakugan. While investigating this campaign, a report about it was published. Therefore, this report will only provide a brief analysis of the overlap between that attack and this and focus primarily on the details of the infostealer.

IT security software company Ivanti has released patches to fix multiple security vulnerabilities impacting its Connect Secure and Policy Secure gateways. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit one of them, a high-severity flaw tracked as CVE-2024-21894, to gain remote code execution and trigger denial of service states on unpatched appliances in low-complexity attacks that don't require user interaction.

∗∗∗ The Mystery of ‘Jia Tan,’ the XZ Backdoor Mastermind ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
As scrutiny around Jia Tan has mounted since the revelation of the XZ Utils backdoor last Friday, researchers have noted that the persona has remarkably good operational security. [..] The Jia Tan persona has vanished since the backdoor was discovered [..] In fact, the only real footprints Jia Tan appears to have left behind were their contributions to the open source development community, where they were a prolific contributor: Disturbingly, Jia Tan’s first code change was to the “libarchive” compression library, another very widely used open source component. [..] In total, Jia Tan made 6,000 code changes to at least seven projects between 2021 and February 2024 [..] Security researchers agree, at least, that it’s unlikely that Jia Tan is a real person, or even one person working alone. Instead, it seems clear that the persona was the online embodiment of a new tactic from a new, well-organized organization—a tactic that nearly worked.

Wer auf der Suche nach einer kurzen Zusammenfassung der Geschehnisse rund um die (höchstwahrscheinliche) Backdoor in xz, CVE-2024-3094, ist, möge einen Blick auf diese durch den Sicherheitsforscher Thomas Roccia erstellte Grafik werfen. Darin sind die wichtigsten Details zusammengefasst, die in den folgenden Absätze wesentlich ausführlicher beleuchtet werden. Alternativ hätte dieser Blogpost auch einen deutlich knackigeren Titel haben können - "CVE-2024-3094", um jene geht es in diesem Beitrag nämlich.

The whole story around this is both fascinating and scary – and I’m sure will be told around numerous time, so in this diary I will put some technical things about the backdoor that I reversed for quite some time (and I have a feeling I could spend 2 more weeks on this).

∗∗∗ On Cybersecurity Alert Levels ∗∗∗

Last week I was invited to provide input to a tabletop exercise for city-level crisis managers on cyber security risks and the role of CSIRTs. The organizers brought a color-coded threat-level sheet (based on the CISA Alert Levels) to the discussion and asked whether we also do color-coded alerts in Austria and what I think of these systems. My answer was negative on both questions, and I think it might be useful if I explain my rationale here.

In late February 2023, threat actors rode a wave of initial access using Microsoft OneNote files. In this case, we observed a threat actor deliver IcedID using this method. After loading IcedID and establishing persistence, there were no further actions, other than beaconing for over 30 days. The threat actor used Cobalt Strike and AnyDesk to target a file server and a backup server. The threat actor used FileZilla to exfiltrate data from the network before deploying Nokoyawa ransomware.
