When Guardians Become Predators: How Malware Corrupts the Protectors
We often trust our security software to stand as an unbreakable wall against malware and attacks, but what happens when that very wall is weaponized against us? Our Trellix Advanced Research Center team recently uncovered a malicious campaign that does just that. Instead of bypassing defenses, this malware takes a more sinister route: it drops a legitimate Avast Anti-Rootkit driver (aswArPot.sys) and manipulates it to carry out its destructive agenda. The malware exploits the deep access provided by the driver to terminate security processes, disable protective software, and seize control of the infected system.
UK drinking water supplies disrupted by record number of undisclosed cyber incidents

China-Nexus TAG-112 Compromises Tibetan Websites to Distribute Cobalt Strike
In a recent cyber campaign, the Chinese state-sponsored threat group TAG-112 compromised two Tibetan websites, Tibet Post and Gyudmed Tantric University, to deliver the Cobalt Strike malware. Recorded Future’s Insikt Group discovered that the attackers embedded malicious JavaScript in these sites, which spoofed a TLS certificate error to trick visitors into downloading a disguised security certificate. This malware, often used by threat actors for remote access and post-exploitation, highlights a continued cyber-espionage focus on Tibetan entities. TAG-112’s infrastructure, concealed using Cloudflare, links this campaign to other China-sponsored operations, particularly TAG-102 (Evasive Panda).

Qualys TRU Uncovers Five Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities in needrestart | Qualys Security Blog
The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has identified five Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerabilities within the needrestart component, which is installed by default on Ubuntu Server. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by any unprivileged user to gain full root access without requiring user interaction. The identified flaws have been assigned the CVE identifiers CVE-2024-48990, CVE-2024-48991, CVE-2024-48992, CVE-2024-10224, and CVE-2024-11003, highlighting the need for immediate remediation to protect system integrity. Our TRU team has successfully developed functional exploits for these vulnerabilities. While we will not disclose our exploits, please be aware that these vulnerabilities are easily exploitable, and other researchers may release working exploits shortly following this coordinated disclosure. These vulnerabilities have been present since the introduction of interpreter support in needrestart version 0.8, released in April 2014.

PROSPERO & Proton66: Tracing Uncovering the links between bulletproof networks
- The Russian autonomous system PROSPERO (AS200593) could be linked with a high level of confidence to Proton66 (AS198953), another Russian AS, that we believe to be connected to the bulletproof services named ‘SecureHost‘ and ‘BEARHOST‘. We notably observed that both network’s configurations are almost identical in terms of peering agreements and their respective share of loads throughout time. Amongst the activities shared by the two networks, we noticed that both GootLoader and SpyNote malwares recently changed their infrastructure of command-and-control servers and phishing pages from to Proton66. Additionally, the domains hosting the phishing pages deploying SpyNote were hosted on either one of the two AS and had already been used in previous campaigns delivering revoked AnyDesk and LiveChat versions for both Windows and Mac. Regarding the other malicious activities found on PROSPERO’s IPs, we found that throughout September, multiple SMS spam campaigns targeting citizens from various countries were leading to phishing domains hosted on PROSPERO and Proton66. While most phishing templates were usurping bank login pages to steal credit card details, we also noticed that some of them were used to deploy android spywares such as Coper (a.k.a. Octo). * SocGholish, another initial access broker (IAB) that we found to be hosting a major part of its infrastructure on Proton66, continues to leverage this autonomous system to host fingerprinting scripts contained on the websites it infects. Along SocGholish, we found out that FakeBat, another loader that infects systems through compromised websites, was using the same IPs to host both screening and redirection script
