Cyberspies China Tertangkap Mengeksploitasi VMware ESXi Zero-Day

June 15, 2023 by Coffee Bean

UNC3886 telah menggunakan vSphere Installation Bundles (VIB) berbahaya – paket yang biasanya digunakan untuk memelihara sistem dan menyebarkan pembaruan – untuk menginstal backdoors pada ESXi hypervisors dan mendapatkan eksekusi perintah, manipulasi file, dan kemampuan reverse shell.

Tindakan jahat grup tersebut akan berdampak pada host VMware ESXi, server vCenter, dan mesin virtual Windows (VM).

Dalam serangan baru-baru ini, mata-mata dunia maya terlihat mengambil kredensial dari vCenter Server untuk semua host ESXi yang terhubung, menerapkan pintu belakang menggunakan soket VMCI untuk pergerakan dan persistensi lateral, serta memodifikasi dan menonaktifkan layanan logging pada sistem yang disusupi.

Selain itu, grup tersebut telah mengeksploitasi kerentanan zero-day di VMware Tools untuk melewati otentikasi dan menjalankan perintah istimewa di VM tamu Windows, Linux, dan PhotonOS (vCenter).

Dilacak sebagai CVE-2023-20867, kerentanan tersebut memiliki peringkat ‘keparahan rendah’, karena eksploitasinya mengharuskan penyerang memiliki akses root ke server ESXi.

“Host ESXi yang sepenuhnya dikompromikan dapat memaksa VMware Tools untuk gagal mengautentikasi operasi host-ke-tamu, yang berdampak pada kerahasiaan dan integritas mesin virtual tamu,” VMware menjelaskan dalam sebuah nasihat. VMware Tools versi 12.2.5 mengatasi kekurangan tersebut.

Menurut Mandiant, UNC3886 terlihat menggunakan skrip untuk mengambil kredensial dari server vCenter yang dikompromikan melalui database vPostgreSQL yang terhubung, menghitung semua host ESXi dan VM tamu mereka, dan mengubah daftar IP yang diizinkan di semua host ESXi yang terhubung.

Cyberspies juga menggunakan skrip instalasi untuk menyebarkan VIB berbahaya ke host, dan mengeksploitasi CVE-2023-20867 untuk menjalankan perintah dan mentransfer file dari host ESXi yang disusupi ke dan dari VM tamu, tanpa autentikasi dan tanpa jejak.

Malware memberi penyerang tingkat kegigihan baru (akses ke host ESXi yang terinfeksi diperoleh kembali dengan mengakses VM) yang juga memungkinkan untuk memotong segmentasi jaringan dan menghindari tinjauan keamanan untuk port mendengarkan terbuka.

UNC3886 dikenal karena mengeksploitasi bug zero-day dalam solusi firewall dan virtualisasi dalam serangan yang menargetkan organisasi pertahanan, teknologi, dan telekomunikasi di AS dan di kawasan Asia-Pasifik.
