Summary

Description

This Malware Analysis Report (MAR) is the result of analytic efforts between Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Working with U.S. Government partners, DHS and FBI identified Remote Access Trojan (RAT) malware variants used by the North Korean government. This malware variant has been identified as BLINDINGCAN. The U.S. Government refers to malicious cyber activity by the North Korean government as HIDDEN COBRA. For more information on HIDDEN COBRA activity, visit https[:]//www[.]us-cert.gov/hiddencobra.

FBI has high confidence that HIDDEN COBRA actors are using malware variants in conjunction with proxy servers to maintain a presence on victim networks and to further network exploitation. A threat group with a nexus to North Korea targeted government contractors early this year to gather intelligence surrounding key military and energy technologies. The malicious documents employed in this campaign used job postings from leading defense contractors as lures and installed a data gathering implant on a victim’s system. This campaign utilized compromised infrastructure from multiple countries to host its command and control (C2) infrastructure and distribute implants to a victim’s system. CISA and FBI are distributing this MAR to enable network defense and reduce exposure to North Korean government malicious cyber activity.

This MAR includes malware descriptions related to HIDDEN COBRA, suggested response actions and recommended mitigation techniques. Users or administrators should flag activity associated with the malware and report the activity to CISA or the FBI Cyber Watch (CyWatch), and give the activity the highest priority for enhanced mitigation. The threat actor whose activity is described in this report may have included images of logos and products, such as the examples in this report, as a part of a social engineering strategy.

CISA received four Microsoft Word Open Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents (.docx), two Dynamic-Link Libraries (DLLs). The .docx files attempt to connect to external domains for a download. A 32-bit and a 64-bit DLL was submitted that install a 32-bit and a 64-bit DLL named “iconcache.db” respectively. The DLL “iconcache.db” unpacks and executes a variant of Hidden Cobra RAT. It contains built-in functions for remote operations that provide various capabilities on a victim’s system.

For a downloadable copy of IOCs, see MAR-10295134-1.v1.stix.

Description

This application is a malicious 32-bit DLL unpacked and executed by “b70e66d387e42f5f04b69b9eb15306036702ab8a50b16f5403289b5388292db9”. This binary has been identified as a variant of a Hidden Cobra RAT. This file contains embedded configuration data (2704 bytes). The data is decrypted using a hard-coded AES decryption key “XEUFC1L3DF3C2ROU” before being decoded using an XOR cipher. Displayed below is the content of the decoded data:

–Begin configuration data–

–End configuration data–

The malware decrypts its strings using a hard-coded RC4 key: “0D 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 01 05 00 03 82”. Displayed below are sample decrypted strings observed during analysis:

–Begin decrypted strings–
“HardwareDescriptionSystemCentralProcessor”
“ProcessorNameString”
“boardid, bbsNo, strBoardID, userid, bbsfilename, code, pidseqNo, ReportID, v, PageNumbernumviewread, action, pagemodeidx, cateId, bbsId, pType, pcode, index, tblidx_num, act, bbs_id, bbs_form, bidbbscate, menutcode, b_code, bname, tb, borad01, borad02, borad03, midnewsid, table, Board_seq, bc_idx, seqArticleIDB_Notice, nowPage, webid, boardDiv, sub_idx”
“\tsclient”
–End decrypted strings–

It collects the following information about the victim’s system and beacons the collected data to the C2 “curiofirenze.com” and
“automercado.co.cr”:

–Begin system information–
Operating system (OS) version information
Processor information
System name
Local IP address information
Media access control (MAC) address.
–End system information–

It attempts to retrieve the User-Agent string from the victim’s system. If not available, it uses the following embedded User-Agent string:

–Begin User-Agent String–
“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36″ .
–End User-Agent String–

It will generate HTTP POST requests with the following format:

–Begin HTTP POST format–
POST /<uri> HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept: */*
User-Agent: <obtained from ObtainUserAgentString otherwise: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36 >
Host: <domain>
Content-Length: <length>

id=<nine random character generated RC4 key><three_random_param_selected>&<second parameter>=<sessionID>&<third parameter >=<hard-coded_String>&<fourth parameter>=<datagram>
–End HTTP POST format–

The HTTP POST body contains four parameters of Base64 encoded data as displayed below:

–Begin four parameters–
Four parameters: id=<nine random character generated RC4 key><three_random_param_selected>&<second parameter>=<sessionID>&<third parameter >=<hard-coded_String>&<fourth parameter>=<datagram>

Sample: id=Z2ptZmx0b250JpzkM7R+AAxesq7t1Eo4Dg==&page=bsyybw==&bbsNo=AszBYcolV00l69W9ihtkLg==&bname=”
–End four parameters–

The first parameter tag, ‘id=’, will consist of two separate Base64 encoded parts. The first part consists of a Base64 encoded nine random generated lower case character RC4 key used for encryption. The second part of the ‘id=’ parameter tag will contain three parameters randomly selected from a list of the below strings. These three randomly selected name tags are colon delimited and stored in the following format:”first name tag:second name tag:third name tag”. This data is encrypted using the nine random character generated RC4 key and Base64 encoded.

–Begin randomly selected string tags–
“boardid, bbsNo, strBoardID, userid, bbsfilename, code, pidseqNo, ReportID, v, PageNumbernumviewread, action, pagemodeidx, cateId, bbsId, pType, pcode, index, tblidx_num, act, bbs_id, bbs_form, bidbbscate, menutcode, b_code, bname, tb, borad01, borad02, borad03, midnewsid, table, Board_seq, bc_idx, seqArticleIDB_Notice, nowPage, webid, boardDiv, sub_idx”
–End randomly selected string tags–

The second parameter tag ‘page=’ is a randomly selected name from the list of the above string tags which contains the “session id” data. This data is encrypted using the same generated RC4 key before Base64 encoded.

The third parameter tag ‘bbsNo=’ is a randomly selected name from a list of the above string tags which contains a hard-coded string data “T1B7D95256A2001E” in the malware. This data is encrypted using the RC4 key and then the data is Base64 encoded. Analysis indicates that when encrypting data from the first three parameters, the encryption starts “0xC00 bytes” into the RC4 key stream.

The fourth parameter tag ‘bname=’ is a randomly selected name from the list of the above string tags which contains the datagram to be sent. The datagram is encrypted with a combination of RC4 and differential XOR. The RC4 key used is “0D 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 01 05 00 03 82”.

It contains the following built-in functions for remote operations that provide various capabilities on a victim’s system:

–Begin built-in functions–
Retrieve information about all installed disks, including the disk type and the amount of free space on the disk
Create, start, and terminate a new process and its primary thread
Search, read, write, move, and execute files
Get and modify file or directory timestamps
Change the current directory for a process or file
Delete malware and artifacts associated with the malware from the infected system
–End built-in functions–

Description

This application is a malicious 64-bit DLL unpacked and executed by “d5186efd8502a3a99a66729cb847d3f4be8937a3fec1c2655b6ea81f57a314f5”. This binary has been identified as a 64-bit version of the Hidden Cobra RAT “bdfd16dc53f5c63da0b68df71c6e61bad300e59fd5748991a6b6a3650f01f9a1”. This file contains the same embedded configuration data. The embedded data is decrypted using a hard-coded AES decryption key: “81SNWX3ALGPDMW5V”. The decrypted data is decoded using an XOR cipher. Displayed below is the content of the decoded data:

–Begin configuration data–

–End configuration data–

The malware decrypts its strings using a hard-coded RC4 key “0D 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 01 05 00 03 82”. Displayed below are sample decrypted strings observed during analysis:

–Begin decrypted strings–
“HardwareDescriptionSystemCentralProcessor”
“ProcessorNameString”
“boardid, bbsNo, strBoardID, userid, bbsfilename, code, pidseqNo, ReportID, v, PageNumbernumviewread, action, pagemodeidx, cateId, bbsId, pType, pcode, index, tblidx_num, act, bbs_id, bbs_form, bidbbscate, menutcode, b_code, bname, tb, borad01, borad02, borad03, midnewsid, table, Board_seq, bc_idx, seqArticleIDB_Notice, nowPage, webid, boardDiv, sub_idx”
“\tsclient”
–End decrypted strings–

It collects the following information about the victim’s system and beacons the collected data to the C2 “curiofirenze.com” and
“automercado.co.cr”:

–Begin system information–
Operating system (OS) version information
Processor information
System name
Local IP address information
Media access control (MAC) address.
–End system information–

It attempts to retrieve the User-Agent string from the victim’s system, if not available, it uses the following embedded User-Agent string:

–Begin User-Agent String–
“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36″ .
–End User-Agent String–

It will generate HTTP POST requests with the following format:

–Begin HTTP POST format–
POST /<uri> HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept: */*
User-Agent: <obtained from ObtainUserAgentString otherwise: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36 >
Host: <domain>
Content-Length: <length>

id=<nine random character generated RC4 key><three_random_param_selected>&<second parameter>=<sessionID>&<third parameter >=<hard-coded_String>&<fourth parameter>=<datagram>
–End HTTP POST format–

The HTTP POST body contains four parameters of Base64 encoded data as displayed below:

–Begin four parameters–
Four parameters: id=<nine random character generated RC4 key><three_random_param_selected>&<second parameter>=<sessionID>&<third parameter >=<hard-coded_String>&<fourth parameter>=<datagram>

Sample: id=Z2ptZmx0b250JpzkM7R+AAxesq7t1Eo4Dg==&page=bsyybw==&bbsNo=AszBYcolV00l69W9ihtkLg==&bname=”
–End four parameters–

The first parameter tag, ‘id=’, will consist of two separate Base64 encoded parts. The first part consists of a Base64 encoded nine random generated lower case character RC4 key used for encryption. The second part of the ‘id=’ parameter tag will contain three parameters randomly selected from a list of the below strings. These three randomly selected name tags are colon delimited and stored in the following format:”first name tag:second name tag:third name tag”. This data is encrypted using the nine random character generated RC4 key and Base64 encoded.

–Begin randomly selected string tags–
“boardid, bbsNo, strBoardID, userid, bbsfilename, code, pidseqNo, ReportID, v, PageNumbernumviewread, action, pagemodeidx, cateId, bbsId, pType, pcode, index, tblidx_num, act, bbs_id, bbs_form, bidbbscate, menutcode, b_code, bname, tb, borad01, borad02, borad03, midnewsid, table, Board_seq, bc_idx, seqArticleIDB_Notice, nowPage, webid, boardDiv, sub_idx”
–End randomly selected string tags–

The second parameter tag ‘page=’ is a randomly selected name from the list of the above string tags which contains the “session id” data. This data is encrypted using the same generated RC4 key before Base64 encoded.

The third parameter tag ‘bbsNo=’ is a randomly selected name from the list of the above string tags which contains a hard-coded string data “T1B7D95256A2001E” in the malware. This data is encrypted using the RC4 key and then the data is Base64 encoded. Analysis indicates that when encrypting data from the first three parameters, the encryption starts “0xC00 bytes” into the RC4 key stream.

The fourth parameter tag ‘bname=’ is a randomly selected name from a list of the above string tags which contains the datagram to be sent. The datagram is encrypted with a combination of RC4 and differential XOR. The RC4 key used is “0D 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 01 05 00 03 82”.

Recommendations

CISA recommends that users and administrators consider using the following best practices to strengthen the security posture of their organization’s systems. Any configuration changes should be reviewed by system owners and administrators prior to implementation to avoid unwanted impacts.

Maintain up-to-date antivirus signatures and engines.
Keep operating system patches up-to-date.
Disable File and Printer sharing services. If these services are required, use strong passwords or Active Directory authentication.
Restrict users’ ability (permissions) to install and run unwanted software applications. Do not add users to the local administrators group unless required.
Enforce a strong password policy and implement regular password changes.
Exercise caution when opening e-mail attachments even if the attachment is expected and the sender appears to be known.
Enable a personal firewall on agency workstations, configured to deny unsolicited connection requests.
Disable unnecessary services on agency workstations and servers.
Scan for and remove suspicious e-mail attachments; ensure the scanned attachment is its “true file type” (i.e., the extension matches the file header).
Monitor users’ web browsing habits; restrict access to sites with unfavorable content.
Exercise caution when using removable media (e.g., USB thumb drives, external drives, CDs, etc.).
Scan all software downloaded from the Internet prior to executing.
Maintain situational awareness of the latest threats and implement appropriate Access Control Lists (ACLs).

Additional information on malware incident prevention and handling can be found in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-83, “Guide to Malware Incident Prevention & Handling for Desktops and Laptops”.
