In TRU Positives, eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) provides a summary of a recent threat investigation. We outline how we responded to the confirmed threat and what recommendations we have going forward.
Here’s the latest from our TRU Team…
At the beginning of January 2024, the eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) investigated a cryptojacking incident involving exploitation of a customer’s vulnerable Apache Tomcat server(Figure 1).
The command shown above downloads the malicious script from 45.125.131[.]17 and uses “| sh” that pipes the output of the downloaded file directly into “sh”, a Unix shell, which executes the content of the downloaded file.
The downloaded file is a shell script (MD5: f63d58eba01f63cfd9ca24f2b390c4bc).
In Figure 2, the code is responsible for downloading a binary file from a remotehost. The code uses “wget” or “curl” to download a file named amd64 from the server specified at “HTTP_SERVER” and save it under “/tmp/.systemd-private-77435dd5909847103069367864234-color.service-vKDO4qY/”. The code introduces a random delay (RAND) before starting the download.
In the code below (Figure 3), the script attempts to create one of the following directories:
Once the directory is successfully created in any one of these locations, the script sets “PATH_BIN” to the path of this directory and exits the loop. If the script fails to create the directory in all three locations, it prints an error message and breaks out of the loop.
The code in Figure 4 is responsible for executing the downloaded binary with certain parameters:
The code snippet in Figure 5 checks if a cron job involving the C2 server already exists. If not ($TEMP_CRON -eq 0), it creates a new cron job. The cron job is scheduled to run at a random minute every hour ($RAND_CRON). It uses curl or wget to download and execute the shell script from the server. The cron job is written to a temporary file named “Koajd.txt”, which is then added to the crontab and subsequently deleted.
The script then checks if there are fewer than three processes running that match certain criteria (involving "$ADDRESS" (coinminer address), amd64, and specific mining configuration). If the conditions are met ($TEMPxa2 -lt 3), it calls the “two_loop” function, which goes to the beginning of the shell script and produces the same steps we have described.
Upon checking the BTC wallet address (referenced in Figure 6), it is observed that the current balance stands at approximately $333.
