Our "First Seen URL" page did show attempts to access /actuator/gateway/routes this weekend. So I dug in a bit deeper to see what these scans are all about. The scans originate from 45.155.204.146 and have been going on for a few days already, but our first-seen list doesn't display them until they hit a threshold to consider the scans significant. We also see scans from a couple of our IPs, but at a much lower level.

A typical complete request from 45.155.204.146:

GET /actuator/gateway/routes HTTP/1.1
Host: [redacted]:80
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Connection: close

The scan for /actuator/gateway/routes may be looking for systems that are possibly vulnerable to CVE-2022-22947 or other vulnerabilities in the Spring Cloud function (we had at least three different vulnerabilities recently). This vulnerability was patched at the beginning of March [1], and exploits are available. The actual exploit would include a JSON formated payload with the actual command to be executed. A simple code injection vulnerability, exploitation is trivial. But to be vulnerable, a system needs to use the Spring Cloud functions, which are not as popular as the basic Spring Core library vulnerable to Spring4Shell (cve-2022-22965). 

The same source also scans for various vulnerabilities, indicating that this test was added to a bot used to compromise multiple sites. Here is a partial list of other vulnerabilities scanned by this source:

/cgi-bin/.%2e/.%2e/.%2e/.%2e/bin/sh
/actuator/gateway/routes

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
