**Descriptions****DoS vulnerability in Analysis Model API Plugin**

**SECURITY-3327 / CVE-2023-5072**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: analysis-model-api**  
**Description:**

Analysis Model API Plugin 11.11.0 and earlier bundles versions of JSON-Java vulnerable to CVE-2023-5072.

This may allow attackers able to control input to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by parsing a crafted JSON document.

As of publication, Synopsys Rapid Scan Static is the only plugin the Jenkins security team is aware of whose report parser is potentially affected.

Analysis Model API Plugin 11.13.0 updates JSON-Java to version 20231013, which is unaffected by this issue.

**Arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in Scriptler Plugin**

**SECURITY-3205 / CVE-2023-50764**  
**Severity (CVSS):** High  
**Affected plugin: scriptler**  
**Description:**

Scriptler Plugin 342.v6a\_89fd40f466 and earlier does not restrict a file name query parameter in an HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Scriptler/Configure permission to delete arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.

Scriptler Plugin 344.v5a\_ddb\_5f9e685 ensures that the file being deleted is located in the expected directory.

**Missing permission check in Scriptler Plugin**

**SECURITY-3206 / CVE-2023-50765**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: scriptler**  
**Description:**

Scriptler Plugin 342.v6a\_89fd40f466 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to read the contents of a Groovy script by knowing its ID.

Scriptler Plugin 344.v5a\_ddb\_5f9e685 requires the appropriate permission to read the contents of a Groovy script.

**CSRF vulnerability and missing permission checks in Nexus Platform Plugin allow XXE**

**SECURITY-3204 / CVE-2023-50766 (CSRF), CVE-2023-50767 (missing permission check)**  
**Severity (CVSS):** High  
**Affected plugin: nexus-jenkins-plugin**  
**Description:**

Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.0-03 and earlier does not perform permission checks in methods implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to send an HTTP request to an attacker-specified URL and parse the response as XML.

Additionally, the plugin does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks, so attackers can have Jenkins parse a crafted XML response that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Additionally, these form validation methods do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.1-01 configures its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

Additionally, POST requests and Overall/Administer permission are required for the affected HTTP endpoints.

Nexus Platform Plugin is not currently distributed by the Jenkins Project due to licensing issues. The fixed version can be downloaded from the Sonatype website.

**CSRF vulnerability and missing permission checks in Nexus Platform Plugin allow capturing credentials**

**SECURITY-3203 / CVE-2023-50768 (CSRF), CVE-2023-50769 (missing permission check)**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: nexus-jenkins-plugin**  
**Description:**

Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.0-03 and earlier does not perform permission checks in methods implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified HTTP server using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Additionally, these form validation methods do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.1-01 requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permission for the affected form validation methods.

Nexus Platform Plugin is not currently distributed by the Jenkins Project due to licensing issues. The fixed version can be downloaded from the Sonatype website.

**Password stored in a recoverable format by OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin**

**SECURITY-3168 / CVE-2023-50770**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: oic-auth**  
**Description:**

OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin provides an anti-lockout feature, which allows administrators to define a local user account that can be used to recover access to Jenkins.

In OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 2.6 and earlier the password to that account is stored in a recoverable format.

This allows attackers with access to the Jenkins controller file system to recover the plain text password of that account, likely gaining administrator access to Jenkins.

**Open redirect vulnerability in OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin**

**SECURITY-2979 / CVE-2023-50771**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: oic-auth**  
**Description:**

OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 2.6 and earlier improperly determines that a redirect URL after login is legitimately pointing to Jenkins.

This allows attackers to perform phishing attacks by having users go to a Jenkins URL that will forward them to a different site after successful authentication.

**Tokens stored and displayed in plain text by Dingding JSON Pusher Plugin**

**SECURITY-3184 / CVE-2023-50772 (storage), CVE-2023-50773 (masking)**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: dingding-json-pusher**  
**Description:**

Dingding JSON Pusher Plugin 2.0 and earlier stores access tokens unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These tokens can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Additionally, the job configuration form does not mask these tokens, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

**CSRF vulnerability in HTMLResource Plugin allows deleting arbitrary files**

**SECURITY-3183 / CVE-2023-50774**  
**Severity (CVSS):** High  
**Affected plugin: htmlresource**  
**Description:**

HTMLResource Plugin 1.02 and earlier does not require POST requests for an HTTP endpoint, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows attackers to delete arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.

**CSRF vulnerability in Deployment Dashboard Plugin**

**SECURITY-3092 / CVE-2023-50775**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: ec2-deployment-dashboard**  
**Description:**

Deployment Dashboard Plugin 1.0.10 and earlier does not require POST requests for an HTTP endpoint, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows attackers to copy jobs.

**Tokens stored and displayed in plain text by PaaSLane Estimate Plugin**

**SECURITY-3182 / CVE-2023-50776 (storage), CVE-2023-50777 (masking)**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: paaslane-estimate**  
**Description:**

PaaSLane Estimate Plugin 1.0.4 and earlier stores PaaSLane authentication tokens unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These tokens can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Additionally, the job configuration form does not mask these tokens, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

**CSRF vulnerability and missing permission checks in PaaSLane Estimate Plugin**

**SECURITY-3179 / CVE-2023-50778 (CSRF), CVE-2023-50779 (missing permission check)**  
**Severity (CVSS):** Medium  
**Affected plugin: paaslane-estimate**  
**Description:**

PaaSLane Estimate Plugin 1.0.4 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using an attacker-specified token.

Additionally, these HTTP endpoints do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

CVE-2023-50770: Jenkins Security Advisory 2023-12-13

Threat actors are increasingly placing malicious ads for Zoom within Google searches.

During the past month, we have observed an increase in the number of malicious ads on Google searches for “Zoom”, the popular piece of video conferencing software. Threat actors have been alternating between different keywords for software downloads such as “Advanced IP Scanner” or “WinSCP” normally geared towards IT administrators.

While Zoom is used by millions of people around the world, these campaigns are likely targeting victims who are into cryptocurrencies as well as corporate users, in order to gain access to company networks.

In this blog post, we chose to highlight two cases:

*   Case #1 is about a new loader which we have not seen mentioned publicly before called **_HiroshimaNukes_**. It drops an additional payload designed to steal user data.
*   Case #2 is a campaign dropping FakeBat loader where the threat actor tracked victims via a panel that was new to us, called **_Hunting panel 1.40_**. FakeBat is often used by threat actors as the initial entry point for hands on keyboard operations.

We have reported the malicious ads to Google.

**Advertiser profiles**

The threat actors are using a number of fake identities to create multiple advertiser accounts. We noticed that different ads had different advertiser IDs but the backend infrastructure was the same.

Fake advertiser profiles

They are also using what looks like existing advertising accounts (one of the accounts had over 30K ads) which may have been compromised:

Advertising account possibly hacked to insert malicious Zoom ad

While we don’t know how many people may have fallen for these Zoom malvertising campaigns, we can say that the number of ads and their positioning was prominent enough to generate a substantial amount of traffic.

**Cloaking via new services**

The threat actors are using tracking templates to cloak the redirection mechanism to either the legitimate Zoom website or a site or their choosing. They are abusing a service called AppsFlyer (onelink.me) and HYROS (l.hyros.com) for their redirects. We observed the following links for the Zoom campaigns:

*   aksdquwrqr\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   ntcrgfmmc3\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   169-zoona32\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   zoromonm\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   notetrest\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   putin-777\[.\]onelink\[.\]me

*   desktop-client\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   slovo-pacana\[.\]onelink\[.\]me
*   l\[.\]hyros\[.\]com/c8KqPHYKdt

Ad and redirection mechanism

**Case #1: HiroshimaNukes**

HiroshimaNukes is a name given by its author to a piece of malware that was new to us. It uses several techniques to bypass detection from DLL side-loading to very large payloads. Its goal is to drop additional malware, typically a stealer followed by data exfiltration.

HiroshimaNukes loader installation flow

**Distribution**

The threat actor is targeting users via Google ads related to a search for zoom:

Malicious ad for Zoom via Google search

Clicking on the ad redirects to a domain at _zoommaster\[.\]life_ that checks the IP address of the visitor and performs a redirect to _zoom.us_ (legitimate) site or _zoom-us\[.\]tech_ (malicious site) based on certain conditions. Intended targets will see a web page that looks similar to the real Zoom’s website:

Fake Zoom web page with malicious download

Users are tricked into downloading a file called _ZoomInstaller.zip_ which once extracted contains one main executable and several DLL files:

Content of the Zoom download archive

The _\_Zoom.exe_ file is a legitimate binary signed by Zoom Video Communications, Inc:

Main executable is legitimate

**DLL side-loading**

DLL side-loading is a technique used by threat actors to bypass detection. It consists of replacing a legitimate library file (DLL) used by a program (EXE) with a malicious one, using the same name and location.

When the main program is launched, it will automatically load the corresponding DLL without necessarily validating it. In this instance, _\_Zoom.exe_ side-loads _librcrypto-3-zm.dll_:

The malicious DLL that is loaded when the main executable runs

While DLL side-loading is commonly used by malware authors, it is also a unique TTP that we don’t see in all malvertising campaigns. We were able to search for previous similar attacks from the same threat actor. This time, the malicious DLL was side-loaded as if it was the FFmpeg library (_ffmpeg.dll_). As you can see from the screenshot below, the lure varied over time with for example brands such as TradingView, Notion or Obsidian.

Other examples of DLL side-loading

All the malicious DLLs we found were likely compiled by the same threat actor, who was either sloppy or wanted to leave the malware name in plain sight:

D:\\Projects\\General\\HiroshimaNukesDropper\\V2\\Dll\\x64\\Release\\Dll.pdb

This “HiroshimaNukes” dropper will spawn a new executable (_zoom\_crypted.exe_) that also attempts to evade detection due to its size:

Dropped file over 774 MB

The file has been inflated with junk code:

UnpacMe service’s analysis of the binary

Looking at its strings we can see that it is a stealer focusing on cryptocurrency wallets:

**Case #2: FakeBat and Hunting panel**

In this second case we look at a FakeBat loader payload which has an interesting addition to it. The threat actors are tracking victims from their campaigns using a control panel called Hunting panel 1.40 which was new to us.

FakeBat installation flow

**Distribution**

Unsuspecting users doing a Google search for “zoom” are deceived by a Sponsored result that looks authentic from the outside. While the ad display URL is **zoom.us** (which is the official website for Zoom), clicking on the menu beside the ad reveals an advertiser identified as “CHANDLER BONNY M”:

Malicious ad for Zoom via Google search

Web traffic following click on ad

On this landing page, users are tricked into downloading a malicious version of the Zoom installer:

Fake Zoom web page and malicious installer

The download process is initiated via a JavaScript event linking to the _ms-appinstaller_ URL where the MSIX file is hosted:

Source code processing the download of the MSIX installer

**Malware payload**

The malicious installer contains several files but the malicious components reside in the PowerShell scripts. This technique has been used by the threat actor for months already, probably because they get higher infection rates than with a traditional malware binary.

Contents of the MSIX file

The Base64-encoded PowerShell reveals the malware’s command and control server as well as a number of other commands such as reporting telemetry back about the machine and any security software installed, and more importantly a GPG encrypted payload decoded on the fly.

View of the malicious PowerShell script

**Panel and API**

Inspecting web traffic, we noticed that a new WebSocket was created to send data to a remote domain at api\[.\]huntingpanel\[.\]link. Some of this data includes a fileID, a project name and the domain that was used for the landing page.

Connection to WebSocket

This server is hosting a login page to “Hunting panel 1.40”, a control panel we had not heard of before. We surmise this is a way for the threat actor to track their malvertising and payload delivery campaigns. The panel’s background image is from the Firewatch video game.

Hunting panel 1.40 control panel

**Protection**

Malvertising continues to be a privileged malware delivery vector where threat actors are able to bypass ad verification checks, and often times security solutions as well.

We are actively tracking and reporting each new malvertising campaign we come across. As we can’t always control when third parties will take action on malicious ads, our top priority is to ensure our customers remain protected by blocking new malware domains and samples.

Both our consumer and enterprise users are protected agains these threats.

Cyber Threat / Phishing Attack

The threat actors behind the **BazaCall** call back phishing attacks have been observed leveraging Google Forms to lend the scheme a veneer of credibility.

The method is an "attempt to elevate the perceived authenticity of the initial malicious emails," cybersecurity firm Abnormal Security said in a report published today.

BazaCall (aka BazarCall), which was first observed in 2020, refers to a series of phishing attacks in which email messages impersonating legitimate subscription notices are sent to targets, urging them to contact a support desk to dispute or cancel the plan, or risk getting charged anywhere between $50 to $500.

By inducing a false sense of urgency, the attacker convinces the target over a phone call to grant them remote access capabilities using remote desktop software and ultimately establish persistence on the host under the guise of offering help to cancel the supposed subscription.

Some of the popular services that are impersonated include Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Masterclass, McAfee, Norton, and GeekSquad.

Traditional security measures won't cut it in today's world. It's time for Zero Trust Security. Secure your data like never before.

In the latest attack variant detected by Abnormal Security, a form created using Google Forms is used as a conduit to share details of the purported subscription.

It's worth noting that the form has its response receipts enabled, which sends a copy of the response to the form respondent by email, so that the attacker can send an invitation to complete the form themselves and receive the responses.

"Because the attacker enabled the response receipt option, the target will receive a copy of the completed form, which the attacker has designed to look like a payment confirmation for Norton Antivirus software," security researcher Mike Britton said.

The use of Google Forms is also clever in that the responses are sent from the address "forms-receipts-noreply@google\[.\]com," which is a trusted domain and, therefore, have a higher chance of bypassing secure email gateways, as evidenced by a recent Google Forms phishing campaign uncovered by Cisco Talos last month.

"Additionally, Google Forms often use dynamically generated URLs," Britton explained. "The constantly changing nature of these URLs can evade traditional security measures that utilize static analysis and signature-based detection, which rely on known patterns to identify threats."

**Threat Actor Targets Recruiters With More\_eggs Backdoor**

The disclosure arrives as Proofpoint revealed a new phishing campaign that's targeting recruiters with direct emails that ultimately lead to a JavaScript backdoor known as More\_eggs.

The enterprise security firm attributed the attack wave to a "skilled, financially motivated threat actor" it tracks as TA4557, which has a track record of abusing legitimate messaging services and offering fake jobs via email to ultimately deliver the More\_eggs backdoor.

"Specifically in the attack chain that uses the new direct email technique, once the recipient replies to the initial email, the actor was observed responding with a URL linking to an actor-controlled website posing as a candidate resume," Proofpoint said.

"Alternatively, the actor was observed replying with a PDF or Word attachment containing instructions to visit the fake resume website."
