1 Threat Advisory: Accellion File Transfer Appliance Vulnerability Niara Threat Advisories provide timely information regarding new attacks along with how Niara helps companies quickly detect an attack to limit its impact and prevent it from establishing a persistent presence within the organization. Niara s security analytics platform provides a rich set of capabilities to automatically find attacks on the inside that evaded real-time defense systems and focus security teams efforts on the threats that matter. For more details on Niara s capabilities or to schedule a demo to see Niara in action, contact us at info@niara.com or at What did Niara discover? Niara has discovered (as far as we know) the first sighting of CVE in the wild. CVE is the Accellion File Transfer Appliance (FTA) vulnerability, discovered by Rapid 7 in mid Late last month, Niara s security researchers identified a compromised Accellion FTA within an organization. The Accellion FTA was being used as a beachhead to launch further attacks on other Accellion FTAs and create a cluster of compromised servers. While the motivation for this is not known, any compromise of a server storing important files should be taken very seriously. What is the Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance vulnerability? The Accellion FTA provides secure file sharing and transfer for both internal and external recipients. In mid-2015, Rapid 7 discovered a remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability on the Accellion FTA, which could give cyber criminals near-complete access to the appliance, potentially resulting in the exfiltration of secure files. This is made possible due to insufficient sanitation of the oauth_ token parameter and how file permissions are configured by default. This vulnerability is present in appliance software version FTA_9_11_200 and likely all prior versions. Accellion quickly released updated software (FTA_9_11_210) to address this vulnerability. However due to different patch cycles within organizations, the vulnerability remains. The common vulnerabilities and exposure (CVE) identifier of this vulnerability is CVE Copyright 2015 Niara, Inc.

2 The Attack Flow 1. Install IRC backdoor on compromised Accellion FTA 2. Connect to a command and control (C&C) server 3. Download exploit tools and instructions from another C&C server 4. Download LoRD of IRAN HACKERS backdoor 5. Perform the exploit to compromise other vulnerable Accellion FTAs Figure 1: Visualization of the attack Copyright 2015 Niara, Inc. All rights reserved. 2
3 Technical Analysis The attackers downloaded Kaiten, a well-known IRC backdoor, on the compromised Accellion FTA. The backdoor served as the primary channel for cyber criminals to issue commands to the compromised server via the IRC protocol. The attackers then issued commands to download a compressed archive file (tws.tar.gz) that contained all the tools and blueprint for exploiting the CVE (e.g., ports scanner, binaries to conduct the exploits, instructions, etc.). Once tws.tar.gz was downloaded, it was decompressed and unzipped. The figures in this document show the rich investigative information that security analysts can easily retrieve from the Niara platform. This information provided invaluable assistance for Niara s own security researches to identify the exploit.

4 Contents of Downloaded Instructions The C&C server provided instructions and tools to exploit the vulnerability via a compressed archive file. The file, named tws.tar.gz, has the following directory structure. By using file names starting with., the attackers ensured that the file and components would not be visible via a simple list directory (ls) command..tws/.tws/.mshit.tws/.ss.tws/.start.tws/.exp.tws/.done/.tws/.test.tws/.range Below is a description of the various components in the download..mshit is a script that the list of vulnerable Accellion FTA systems, identified during port scanning, to an address with the domain pegcity.info. The subject line of the was Accellion Secure File Transfer Servers.ss is an ELF executable file which is a well known port scanner with an md5sum of b51a52c9c82bb b4c17c60f89f.start is a shell script for starting and stopping the reconnaissance (i.e., the.ss file) and exploit (i.e., the.exp file) scripts.exp is a shell script used for exploiting the vulnerability CVE test is a shell script used to scan for vulnerable Accellion servers.range contains the range of IP addresses that needed to be scanned The Exploit Once the compressed archive file was downloaded on the compromised Accellion FTA the attackers issued commands to conduct port scans of class A networks to identify other vulnerable Accellion servers on the internet. Once additional vulnerable servers were identified, backdoor binaries were downloaded on to them. The steps followed by the attackers are explained below. Copyright 2015 Niara, Inc. All rights reserved. 4
5 1. The port scanner (. ss) was used to scan the range of the IP addresses specified in the.range file. 2. The results of the port scan, which were the IP addresses of vulnerable Accellion FTAs, were stored in a file called bios.txt. 3. bios.txt was then passed to the.test script, which performed a curl request to each IP address listed in the file. a. The curl request is made to the URI /tws/getstatus which returns the version of the Accellion server. b. Vulnerable servers are identified by grepping for 0.18 in the response to the curl request. 4. After identifying additional vulnerable servers, the attackers went on to exploit them by executing the.exp script. Figure 4: Content of the test script that identifies vulnerable Accellion servers. Figure 5: Contents of the.exp shell script. The exploit script (.exp) shows how the attackers supplied UNIX commands in the oauth_token to drop an ELF executable on the newly identified vulnerable Accellion system. This executable named perl is dropped under the /tmp/ directory of the newly identified systems and executed. Niara s research showed that this executable is the Kaiten IRC binary. The md5 of the executable is f7fb6c f65b66eca4b14c Copyright 2015 Niara, Inc. All rights reserved. 5
6 LorD of IRAN HACKERS In addition to the Kaiten backdoor, the attackers downloaded another Perl script called bd from the same server from which tws.tar.gz was downloaded. Niara believes that the attackers did this to have another channel of communication with the compromised Accellion FTA, in case one of the channels went down. Figure 6: Attackers issuing the command to download another backdoor, called bd. Figure 7: Actual download of the backdoor (bd). Copyright 2015 Niara, Inc. All rights reserved. 6
7 Figure 8: The connections established as a result of executing the backdoor (bd). Figure 8 shows the successful connections that bd, another backdoor, establishes with the C&C server. A quick Google search for LorD of IRAN HACKERS SABOTAGE (shown at the top of the figure) returns many results, indicating that it is a popular backdoor. This backdoor is a Perl script that takes two arguments, IP address and port, which the attackers provided via the Kaiten IRC channel. In this attack, the C&C IP address that was provided was in Russia and port used was How did Niara help? Niara maintains high-fidelity forensics that are retained for a far longer period than what s possible with traditional monitoring systems, due in part to Niara s use of big data technologies. Forensics go all the way down to raw data level, including PCAPs, which enables Niara to provide complete visibility into what happened in the past. Because Niara maintains a complete forensic trail, all the way down to the packet level, Niara s security researchers were able to start with the initial evidence (i.e., communication with an unusual IP address) and perform advanced threat hunting to see exactly what happened in the past. Without the packet retention capabilities being intertwined with Niara s analytics, this would not have been possible. Copyright 2015 Niara, Inc. All rights reserved. 7
8 What Should You Do? Organizations with vulnerable versions of the Accellion server can use the below IoCs to check if they are compromised. As always please upgrade your Accellion servers to the latest version. The fix was made available in version FTA_9_11_210, so update your Accellion FTA software to this or a more recent release. Network IoC IRC Connections to IP s located in the Russia Noisy port scans on port 443 out to the internet on different class A or class B subnets wget to download archive files from IP addresses not resolved through DNS Endpoint IoC Look for any hidden directories called.tws under /usr/include. There is a chance that these names are different so look at any newly created hidden directories. Presence of a hidden binary called.perl under the /tmp directory. Please note that the attackers do change names often, so look at any suspicious hidden ELF executable. About Niara Niara s security analytics platform automates the detection of attacks that have bypassed an organization s perimeter defenses and dramatically reduces the time and skill needed to investigate and respond to security events. The solution applies machine learning algorithms and forensics to data from the network and security infrastructure to detect compromised users, entities, and malicious insiders, speed threat hunting efforts, and reduce the time for incident investigation and response by focusing security teams on the threats that matter.
