bulletinFamily exploit description Vulnerability details references: * [Office OLE2Link zero-day ](<http://paper.seebug.org/papers/Archive/2017-04%20Office%20OLE2Link%20zero-day%20v0.4.pdf>)from NCCGroup） * [CVE-2017-0199: In the Wild Attacks Leveraging the HTA Handler ](<https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/04/cve-2017-0199-hta-handler.html>)From FireEye） HTAsThe Microsoft OLE2Link object contains a vulnerability in the way that it processes remotely-linked content. The remote content is opened based on the application associated with the server-provided MIME type. Some MIME types are dangerous, as they can result in code execution. For example, the application/hta mime-type is associated with mshta.exe. Opening arbitrary HTA content is equivalent to executing arbitrary code. This vulnerability is reportedly being exploited in the wild. The exploits used in the wild have the following characteristics: * The document that triggers the OLE2Link vulnerability is an RTF document that masquerades as a Microsoft Word DOC file. * The Trojan connects to a remote server to obtain an execute an HTA file, which contains the VBScript to be executed by the client. Note that depending on the nature of the vulnerability, it may be possible to target Microsoft Windows components other than Microsoft Word. This vulnerability reportedly affects all versions of Microsoft Office, including Office 2016 on Windows 10. It is also reported that [Microsoft Office Protected View ](<https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-is-Protected-View-d6f09ac7-e6b9-4495-8e43-2bbcdbcb6653>) can help prevent exploitation without user interaction. This vulnerability is reportedly being exploited in the wild. id SSV:92935 last seen 2017-11-19 modified 2017-04-12 published 2017-04-12 reporter Root source https://www.seebug.org/vuldb/ssvid-92935 title Microsoft Office OLE2Link vulnerability (CVE-2017-0199) bulletinFamily exploit description FireEye recently detected a malicious Microsoft Office RTF document that leveraged CVE-2017-8759, a SOAP WSDL parser code injection vulnerability. This vulnerability allows a malicious actor to inject arbitrary code during the parsing of SOAP WSDL definition contents. FireEye analyzed a Microsoft Word document where attackers used the arbitrary code injection to download and execute a Visual Basic script that contained PowerShell commands. FireEye shared the details of the vulnerability with Microsoft and has been coordinating public disclosure timed with the release of a patch to address the vulnerability and security guidance, which can be found here. FireEye email, endpoint and network products detected the malicious documents. ### Vulnerability Used to Target Russian Speakers The malicious document, “Проект.doc” (MD5: fe5c4d6bb78e170abf5cf3741868ea4c), might have been used to target a Russian speaker. Upon successful exploitation of CVE-2017-8759, the document downloads multiple components (details follow), and eventually launches a FINSPY payload (MD5: a7b990d5f57b244dd17e9a937a41e7f5). FINSPY malware, also reported as FinFisher or WingBird, is available for purchase as part of a “lawful intercept” capability. Based on this and previous use of FINSPY, we assess with moderate confidence that this malicious document was used by a nation-state to target a Russian-speaking entity for cyber espionage purposes. Additional detections by FireEye’s Dynamic Threat Intelligence system indicates that related activity, though potentially for a different client, might have occurred as early as July 2017. ### CVE-2017-8759 WSDL Parser Code Injection A code injection vulnerability exists in the WSDL parser module within the PrintClientProxy method (http://referencesource.microsoft.com/ - System.Runtime.Remoting/metadata/wsdlparser.cs,6111). The IsValidUrl does not perform correct validation if provided data that contains a CRLF sequence. This allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code. A portion of the vulnerable code is shown in Figure 1.  Figure 1: Vulnerable WSDL Parser When multiple address definitions are provided in a SOAP response, the code inserts the “//base.ConfigureProxy(this.GetType(),” string after the first address, commenting out the remaining addresses. However, if a CRLF sequence is in the additional addresses, the code following the CRLF will not be commented out. Figure 2 shows that due to lack validation of CRLF, a System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method call is injected. The generated code will be compiled by csc.exe of .NET framework, and loaded by the Office executables as a DLL.  Figure 2: SOAP definition VS Generated code ### The In-the-Wild Attacks The attacks that FireEye observed in the wild leveraged a Rich Text Format (RTF) document, similar to the CVE-2017-0199 documents we previously reported on. The malicious sampled contained an embedded SOAP monikers to facilitate exploitation (Figure 3).  Figure 3: SOAP Moniker The payload retrieves the malicious SOAP WSDL definition from an attacker-controlled server. The WSDL parser, implemented in System.Runtime.Remoting.ni.dll of .NET framework, parses the content and generates a .cs source code at the working directory. The csc.exe of .NET framework then compiles the generated source code into a library, namely http[url path].dll. Microsoft Office then loads the library, completing the exploitation stage. Figure 4 shows an example library loaded as a result of exploitation.  Figure 4: DLL loaded Upon successful exploitation, the injected code creates a new process and leverages mshta.exe to retrieve a HTA script named “word.db” from the same server. The HTA script removes the source code, compiled DLL and the PDB files from disk and then downloads and executes the FINSPY malware named “left.jpg,” which in spite of the .jpg extension and “image/jpeg” content-type, is actually an executable. Figure 5 shows the details of the PCAP of this malware transfer.  Figure 5: Live requests The malware will be placed at %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\OfficeUpdte-KB[ 6 random numbers ].exe. Figure 6 shows the process create chain under Process Monitor.  Figure 6: Process Created Chain ### The Malware The “left.jpg” (md5: a7b990d5f57b244dd17e9a937a41e7f5) is a variant of FINSPY. It leverages heavily obfuscated code that employs a built-in virtual machine – among other anti-analysis techniques – to make reversing more difficult. As likely another unique anti-analysis technique, it parses its own full path and searches for the string representation of its own MD5 hash. Many resources, such as analysis tools and sandboxes, rename files/samples to their MD5 hash in order to ensure unique filenames. This variant runs with a mutex of "WininetStartupMutex0". ### Conclusion CVE-2017-8759 is the second zero-day vulnerability used to distribute FINSPY uncovered by FireEye in 2017. These exposures demonstrate the significant resources available to “lawful intercept” companies and their customers. Furthermore, FINSPY has been sold to multiple clients, suggesting the vulnerability was being used against other targets. It is possible that CVE-2017-8759 was being used by additional actors. While we have not found evidence of this, the zero day being used to distribute FINSPY in April 2017, CVE-2017-0199 was simultaneously being used by a financially motivated actor. If the actors behind FINSPY obtained this vulnerability from the same source used previously, it is possible that source sold it to additional actors. id SSV:96484 last seen 2017-11-19 modified 2017-09-14 published 2017-09-14 reporter Root source https://www.seebug.org/vuldb/ssvid-96484 title FireEye Uncovers CVE-2017-8759: Zero-Day Used in the Wild to Distribute FINSPY
