    Threat Actors Exploit GitHub Trusted Reputation to Distribute Malware

    In a concerning development, threat actors are once again leveraging GitHub’s reputation to bypass security gateways. They are observed distributing malicious GitHub repository links within the comments of trusted repositories to spread malware. Organizations with open-source repositories that permit comments are particularly vulnerable to this attack. Malicious actors can submit comments linking to malicious code , which may then be embedded in a subdirectory of the organization’s main open-source code or archive which can be accessed. Even with the comment removed the file is archived and the link to the malware can remain alive. This also has the opportunity to be a drive-by attack vector for other malware types. Organizations should consider adding additional measures to block Github links that may bypass secure email gateways' security. Add additional warning messages so users are aware of the potential risks, or configure certain policies to protect against unsolicited downloads from GitHub.

    Akira Ransomware Group exploited SonicWall SSLVPN access control flaw in their attacks

    SonicWall has issued a warning that a recently patched access control vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-40766, is potentially being exploited in the wild. It urges administrators to apply the necessary updates immediately. The flaw, with a critical CVSS score of 9.3, affects SonicWall Firewall Gen 5, Gen 6, and Gen 7 devices. It allows unauthorized access to resources and potentially crashes the firewall, thus compromising network protections. Initially disclosed in August 2024, the flaw was believed to impact only SonicOS management access, but SonicWall has since confirmed that it also affects the firewall’s SSLVPN feature. The company advises administrators to limit firewall management to trusted sources, restrict SSLVPN access, and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA). Reports suggest that the Akira ransomware group is among the attackers exploiting this vulnerability. SonicWall emphasizes the importance of applying patches promptly to protect against these ongoing threats.

    New Android SpyAgent Malware Steal Crypto Wallet Recovery Keys

    Android users in South Korea have become the target of a new malware campaign distributing a threat called SpyAgent. This malware, according to McAfee Labs, scans devices for images containing mnemonic keys, which are recovery phrases used to access cryptocurrency wallets. The campaign has expanded beyond South Korea, now affecting users in the U.K. as well. SpyAgent spreads through fake Android apps disguised as legitimate banking, government, streaming, and utility apps, with over 280 such apps detected this year. Users are tricked into downloading the malware via SMS messages containing links to APK files hosted on deceptive websites. Once installed, SpyAgent requests intrusive permissions to access sensitive data like contacts, photos, SMS messages, and other device information. The malware’s key feature is its use of optical character recognition (OCR) to steal mnemonic keys, potentially giving attackers access to victims' cryptocurrency wallets. McAfee Labs also discovered significant security lapses in the malware's command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, including an exposed server hosting victim data and an admin panel for remotely controlling infected devices. Moreover, the malware has shifted its communication method from HTTP to WebSocket connections, making it harder to detect by traditional network monitoring tools.
