Veeam Backup & Response - RCE With Auth, But Mostly Without Auth (CVE-2024-40711)
Every sysadmin is familiar with Veeam’s enterprise-oriented backup solution, ‘Veeam Backup & Replication’. Unfortunately, so is every ransomware operator, given it's somewhat 'privileged position' in the storage world of most enterprise's networks. There's no point deploying cryptolocker malware on a target unless you can also deny access to backups, and so, this class of attackers absolutely loves to break this particular software. With so many eyes focussed on it, then, it is no huge surprise that it has a rich history of CVEs. Today, we're going to look at the latest episode - CVE-2024-40711. Well, that was a complex vulnerability, requiring a lot of code-reading! We’ve successfully shown how multiple bugs can be chained together to gain RCE in a variety of versions of Veeam Backup & Replication.
This post is about sandbox evasion techniques and their usefulness in more targeted engagements. There's a lot of sandbox evasion techniques, some are simple: query WMI, some are cool: parsing SMBIOS tables, most try to detect sandbox artifacts. I wanted to know if these techniques are still effective for detecting sandboxes, or if the sandboxes have since been updated to counter them.
In early July 2024, the Sentinel Labs researchers released an extensive article1 about “FIN7 reboot” tooling, notably introducing “AvNeutralizer”, an anti-EDR tool. This tool has been found in the wild as a packed payload. In this article, we offer a thorough analysis of the associated private packer that we named “PackXOR”, as well as an unpacking tool. Additionally, while investigating the packer usage, we determined that PackXOR might not be exclusively leveraged by FIN7.

Imagine this: an OpenSSH backdoor is discovered, maintainers rush to push out a fixed release package, security researchers trade technical details on mailing lists to analyze the backdoor code. Speculation abounds on the attribution and motives of the attacker, and the tech media pounces on the story. A near miss of epic proportions, a blow to the fabric of trust underlying open source development, a stark reminder of the risks of supply-chain attacks. Equal measures brilliant and devious.
stardom dreams, stalking devices and the secret conglomerate selling both
people frequently reach out to me with companies to look into. usually it takes me about 10 minutes before i move on for one reason or another—it's not interesting for a story or has good security, for example. i didnt expect anything different when an acquaintance told me about Tracki, a self-proclaimed "world leader in GPS tracking" that they suspected could be used nefariously. at first glance, Tracki appeared to be a serious company, maybe even one that cared about security. we could never have guessed what was about to unfold before us. half a year into our investigation, we'd found it all: a hidden conglomerate posing as five independent companies, masked from governments and customers alike through the use of dozens of false identities, US letterbox companies, and an undeclared owner. a 90s phone sex scheme that, through targeting by one of hollywood's most notorious fixers, spiraled into a collection of almost a hundred domains advertising everything from online dating to sore throat remedies. a slew of device-assisted murder cases, on top of potential data breaches affecting almost 12 million users, ranging from federal government officials to literal infants. and most importantly, a little-known Snoop Dogg song. how in the world did we get here? starting our descent
Sadly, nobody really loves crash reports, but I’m here to change that! This research, a crash course on crash reports, will highlight how these often overlooked files are an invaluable source of information, capable of revealing malware infections, exploitation attempts, or even buggy (exploitable?) system code. Such insights are critical for defense and offense, empowering us to either protect or exploit macOS systems.

Ransomware ecosystem fragmenting under law enforcement pressure and distrust
Veteran cybercriminals appear to be reducing their dependence on ransomware-as-a-service platforms — a sign that law enforcement raids are having an impact. Experts say the market for digital extortion tools has plenty of room to adapt, though.
Arctic Wolf Labs has observed Fog ransomware being deployed against US organizations in the education and recreation sectors.
On May 2, 2024, Arctic Wolf Labs began monitoring deployment of a new ransomware variant referred to as Fog. The ransomware activity was observed in several Arctic Wolf Incident Response cases, each exhibiting similar elements. All victim organizations were located in the United States, 80% of which were in the education sector and 20% in the recreation sector. We are sharing details of this emerging variant to help organizations defend against this threat. Please note that we may add further detail to this article as we uncover additional information in our ongoing investigation.

Kematian-Stealer : A Deep Dive into a New Information Stealer
Kematian-Stealer is actively being developed and distributed as an open-source tool on GitHub. Our investigation revealed that the stealer’s source code, related scripts, and a builder for generating malicious binaries are hosted under the GitHub account “Somali-Devs.” Significant contributions from the user KDot227 suggest a close link between this account and the development of the stealer. These scripts and stealer are designed to covertly extract sensitive data from unsuspecting users and organizations.
