Here’s the latest from our TRU Team…
In August 2024, the eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) observed a case of LummaC2 stealer malware and the malicious Google Chrome browser infections involving a drive-by download that delivered a malicious ZIP archive named “x64~x32~installer___.zip” containing an MSI app packaging file.
The MSI file contacts the C2 server at get-license2[.]com to retrieve the password needed to extract the malicious DLL “rnp.dll” (MD5: 1825d0310bf5029899f42004c4a1ef83) from the RAR archive “nijboq.rar” (MD5: 63efe86838e7196cedd93d7c10ac40e6). It uses the legitimate executable "rnpkeys.exe", associated with the RNP library – a set of cryptographic tools that implement the OpenPGP (Pretty Good Privacy) standards and commonly used by Thunderbird.
This executable is located under “\AppData\Roaming\Troxbox Publish\TroxApp” and is leveraged to load the malicious “rnp.dll” payload through a DLL side-loading technique (T1574.002). Researchers at Trellix provided analysis of a similar sample.
The malicious DLL led to the loader execution which eventually retrieved LummaC2 stealer and the PowerShell base64-encoded command that is responsible for retrieving the next-stage payload “02074.bs64” (MD5: 3b97f0f4f5a616d19d919c359ebd3086) from the C2 server at two-root[.]com/02074.bs64 and decrypting it using two rounds of XOR operations (Figure 1).
Upon the execution of the PowerShell script, the malicious Chrome extension named “Save to Google Drive” will be installed.
The malicious extension handles requests to set and get all balances of Facebook, Coinbase and Google Pay accounts and possibly execute financial transactions such as withdrawals of cryptocurrency funds. This involves sending JSON structured data that could include amounts, account identifiers, and other transaction-specific details provided below:
The extension also gathers device information including fetching hardware and system data (Figure 3), details about the current extension and any installed extensions as well as collects the browser's user agent and all cookies and generates the unique UUID for the machine. All the collected data is then sent to the C2 server.
The extension also contains the code that manipulates browser behavior within “getInjections” function by opening specific URLs fetched from the C2 in nearly invisible popup windows and monitoring these for predefined content that contains payments.google, consent.youtube.com, accounts.google.com, and adsmanager.facebook.com.
By monitoring this content, the script can potentially intercept or manipulate sensitive user interactions, such as capturing user input or manipulating the content displayed.
The malicious extension also targets users of popular email platforms like Outlook, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail, where it dynamically injects and manipulates web content based on configurations fetched from chrome.storage.local. The extension can alter email contents (Figure 4), potentially to steal sensitive information such as verification codes sent during two-factor authentication processes.
The script “proxy.js” located in the extension folder appears to be the CursedChrome implant, a Chrome extension that converts compromised Chrome browsers into HTTP proxies, which enables web browsing authenticated as the victims across all their websites.
The “makeScreenShot” function captures a screenshot of the currently visible tab in a Chrome browser. It returns the screenshot data as a base64-encoded image. The screenshot is then sent to the C2 server (Figure 5).
The C2 addresses are extracted and then Base58-decoded from a Blockchain and mempool URLs, which is structured to return data in JSON format about the Bitcoin address “bc1qvkvzfla6wrem2uf4ejkuja8yp3c6f3xf72kyc9”
In conclusion, the incident showcased an interesting delivery chain that leveraged DLL side-loading to execute the loader that delivered LummaC2 stealer and a malicious Chrome extension to manipulate browser activities and facilitate data theft.
