Rohit from Tippingpoint adviced us that he is seeing a large number of attacks from Russia using an un-patched vulnerability in the WMIObjectBroker ActiveX control. He is seeing it used as part of a drive-by download. Typically, the Trojan "Galopoper.A" is load.
There is no patch available at this point. Tippingpoint and the Bleedingthreats projects have signatures available to detect this attack. Rohit mentioned that there is a metasploit module for this vulnerability. I will be teaching next: Defending Web Applications Security Essentials - SANS Cyber Security West: March 2021 |
