2024-04-17 10:00:00 | Unearthing APT44: Russia\'s Notorious Cyber Sabotage Unit Sandworm (lien direct) | Written by: Gabby Roncone, Dan Black, John Wolfram, Tyler McLellan, Nick Simonian, Ryan Hall, Anton Prokopenkov, Luke Jenkins, Dan Perez, Lexie Aytes, Alden Wahlstrom
With Russia\'s full-scale invasion in its third year, Sandworm (aka FROZENBARENTS) remains a formidable threat to Ukraine. The group\'s operations in support of Moscow\'s war aims have proven tactically and operationally adaptable, and as of today, appear to be better integrated with the activities of Russia\'s conventional forces than in any other previous phase of the conflict. To date, no other Russian government-backed cyber group has played a more central role in shaping and supporting Russia\'s military campaign. Yet the threat posed by Sandworm is far from limited to Ukraine. Mandiant continues to see operations from the group that are global in scope in key political, military, and economic hotspots for Russia. Additionally, with a record number of people participating in national elections in 2024, Sandworm\'s history of attempting to interfere in democratic processes further elevates the severity of the threat the group may pose in the near-term. Given the active and diffuse nature of the threat posed by Sandworm globally, Mandiant has decided to graduate the group into a named Advanced Persistent Threat: APT44. As part of this process, we are releasing a report, “APT44: Unearthing Sandworm”, that provides additional insights into the group\'s new operations, retrospective insights, and context on how the group is adjusting to support Moscow\'s war aims. Key Findings Sponsored by Russian military intelligence, APT44 is a dynamic and operationally mature threat actor that is actively engaged in the full spectrum of espionage, attack, and influence operations. While most state-backed threat groups tend to specialize in a specific mission such as collecting intelligence, sabotaging networks, or conducting information operations, APT44 stands apart in how it has honed each of these capabilities and sought to integrate them into a unified playbook over time. Each of these respective components, and APT44\'s efforts to blend them for combined effect, are foundational to Russia\'s guiding “information confrontation” concept for cyber warfare.

Since the initial disclosure of CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887 on Jan. 10, 2024, Mandiant has conducted multiple incident response engagements across a range of industry verticals and geographic regions. Mandiant\'s previous blog post, Cutting Edge, Part 3: Investigating Ivanti Connect Secure VPN Exploitation and Persistence Attempts, details zero-day exploitation of CVE-2024-21893 and CVE-2024-21887 by a suspected China-nexus espionage actor that Mandiant tracks as UNC5325. This blog post, as well as our previous reports detailing Ivanti exploitation, help to underscore the different types of activity that Mandiant has observed on vulnerable Ivanti Connect Secure appliances that were unpatched or did not have the appropriate mitigation applied. Mandiant has observed different types of post-exploitation activity across our incident response engagements, including lateral movement supported by the deployment of open-source tooling and custom malware families. In addition, we\'ve seen these suspected China-nexus actors evolve their understanding of Ivanti Connect Secure by abusing appliance-specific functionality to achieve their objectives. As of April 3, 2024, a patch is readily available for every supported version of Ivanti Connect Secure affected by the vulnerabilities. We recommend that customers follow Ivanti\'s latest patching guidance and instructions to prevent further exploitation activity. In addition, Ivanti released a new enhanced external integrity checker tool (ICT) to detect potential attempts of malware persistence across factory resets and system upgrades and other tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) observed in the wild. We also released a remediation and hardening guide |

2024-03-26 22:00:00 | Tendances les jours zéro exploités dans le monde en 2023 Trends on Zero-Days Exploited In-the-Wild in 2023 (lien direct) |
Written by: Maddie Stone, Jared Semrau, James Sadowski
Combined data from Google\'s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) and Mandiant shows 97 zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited in 2023; a big increase over the 62 zero-day vulnerabilities identified in 2022, but still less than 2021\'s peak of 106 zero-days. This finding comes from the first-ever joint zero-day report by TAG and Mandiant. The report highlights 2023 zero-day trends, with focus on two main categories of vulnerabilities. The first is end user platforms and products such as mobile devices, operating systems, browsers, and other applications. The second is enterprise-focused technologies such as security software and appliances. Key zero-day findings from the report include: Vendors\' security investments are working, making certain attacks harder. Attacks increasingly target third-party components, affecting multiple products. Enterprise targeting is rising, with more focus on security software and appliances. Commercial surveillance vendors lead browser and mobile device exploits. People\'s Republic of China (PRC) remains the top state-backed exploiter of zero-days. Financially-motivated attacks proportionally decreased. Threat actors are increasingly leveraging zero-days, often for the purposes of evasion and persistence, and we don\'t expect this activity to decrease anytime soon. Progress is being made on all fronts, but zero-day vulnerabilities remain a major threat. A Look Back - 2023 Zero-Day Activity at a Glance Barracuda ESG: CVE-2023-2868 Barracuda disclosed in May 2023 that a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2023-2868) in their Email Security Gateway (ESG) had been actively exploited since as early as October 2022. Mandiant investigated and determined that UNC4841, a suspected Chinese cyber espionage actor, was conducting attacks across multiple regions and sectors as part of an espionage campaign in support of the PRC. Mandiant released a blog post with findings from the initial investigation, a follow-up post with more details as the investigation continued |

During the analysis of a banking trojan sample targeting Android smartphones, Mandiant identified the repeated use of a string obfuscation mechanism throughout the application code. To fully analyze and understand the application\'s functionality, one possibility is to manually decode the strings in each obfuscated method encountered, which can be a time-consuming and repetitive process. Another possibility is to use paid tools such as JEB decompiler that allow quick identification and patching of code in Android applications, but we found that the ability to do the same with free static |
