Malware LimeRAT sedang disebarkan melalui teknik enkripsi VelvetSweatshop Excel

April 2, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Kampanye baru sedang menyebarkan LimeRAT Remote Access Trojan dengan memanfaatkan teknik enkripsi lama dalam file Excel.

 

LimeRAT adalah Trojan sederhana yang dirancang untuk mesin Windows. Malware ini dapat menginstal backdoors pada mesin yang terinfeksi dan mengenkripsi file dengan cara yang sama seperti strain ransomware biasa, menambahkan PC ke botnet, dan menginstal cryptocurrency miner.

 

Selain itu, Trojan modular juga dapat menyebar melalui drive USB yang terhubung, menghapus instalannya sendiri jika mesin virtual (VM) terdeteksi – praktik umum bagi peneliti keamanan yang mencoba untuk merekayasa balik malware – mengunci layar, dan mencuri berbagai data yang kemudian dikirim ke server perintah-dan-kontrol (C2) melalui enkripsi AES.

 

Dalam kampanye baru yang diamati oleh Mimecast, Trojan disembunyikan sebagai muatan dalam dokumen Excel read-only yang menyebar melalui email phishing. Dokumen Excel tersebut adalah dokumen read-only yang mengenkripsi file tanpa membuat pengguna mengetik kata sandi.

Untuk mendekripsi file, saat terbuka, Excel akan berusaha menggunakan kata sandi bawaan yang disematkan, “VelvetSweatshop,” yang telah diterapkan bertahun-tahun yang lalu oleh programmer Microsoft. Jika berhasil, ini akan mendekripsi file dan memungkinkan makro onboard dan muatan berbahaya untuk diluncurkan, sementara juga menjaga dokumen tetap read-only.

 

Kampanye baru yang dirancang untuk menyebarkan LimeRAT ini memanfaatkan teknik yang pertama kali terlihat pada tahun 2013 dan dipresentasikan pada konferensi Buletin Virus. Untuk melakukan serangan yang berhasil, kata sandi hardcoded – CVE-2012-0158 – dieksploitasi.
