STATISTICS BEHIND THE VULNERABILITIES USED BY RANSOMWARE GROUPS

Vulnerabilities Associated with Ransomware Groups by Year

Certain years stand out as pivotal moments in the annals of cyber warfare. Among
these, the years 2021 and 2022 shine brightly. They provided the lion’s share of
the arsenal wielded by these nefarious adversaries.

In 2021, the battlefield witnessed a dramatic surge in ransomware attacks. The
ransomware groups, fueled by a staggering array of 42 newly discovered Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), seized the opportunity to exploit
weaknesses in systems and software. Among these was one of the most infamous
vulnerabilities, the Log4Shell. With each successful breach, their audacity
grew. It was a year that gave birth to unprecedented challenges for defenders.
They have found themselves in a relentless struggle to patch vulnerabilities.
They had to stay one step ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

But the ransomware groups were not content with a single year’s worth of
ammunition. As 2022 dawned, armed with 45 new CVEs, they struck with increased
sophistication and precision. Their tactics had evolved. They are honed by
experience and a deep understanding of their targets. No system was safe, and no
organization was impervious to their malevolent intent. The defenders were
stretched to their limits. They scrambled to fortify their defenses and stem the
tide of ransomware attacks.

Now, as we stand on the precipice of 2023, the battle against ransomware groups
continues. Though the number of CVEs at their disposal has only risen by 12, the
impact of their attacks remains potent. The defenders know all too well that the
ransomware groups are stubborn. They are utilizing the vulnerabilities from
previous years continuously. The lessons learned from the torrential storms of
2021 and 2022 remain etched in their collective memory. It reminds defenders of
the importance of constant vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures.

Vulnerabilities Associated with Ransomware Groups by Vendor

Microsoft held a commanding 35.4% share of the vulnerabilities exploited by
ransomware groups because of its ubiquitous presence and a range of products
relied upon by countless organizations. Microsoft’s prominence in the corporate
landscape made it an enticing target for these digital criminals. Their
products, such as Windows and Exchange Server, form the backbone of countless
businesses. They house invaluable data and communications.

However, other vendors also garnered the attention of the ransomware
underworld. Apache, OpenSSL, VMware, Fortinet, Apple, and Google garnered the
attention of these malicious actors. It offered them additional avenues to
infiltrate systems and wreak havoc. Each of these vendors plays a relevant role
in the corporate ecosystem.

CVSSv3 Scores vs SVRS Scores

Traditional scoring systems like CVSSv3 have long been relied upon to assess the
criticality of vulnerabilities. Looking at the data, we can see that there were
47 Critical CVEs, 68 High CVEs, and 13 Medium CVEs identified. CVSSv3 scores
provide valuable information in determining the urgency of a vulnerability.
However, they may not capture the full context and depth of the threat
landscape. This is where the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) steps in
to offer a more comprehensive understanding. The SVRS takes into account a range
of qualitative elements. It ranges from social media, news, code repositories,
and dark/deep web sources to the attribution of threat actors and malware.

Digging into the SVRS scores, we find that there are 12 CVEs with SVRS scores
ranging from 90 to 100, indicating a critical level of risk and severity.
Additionally, 17 CVEs fall within the SVRS range of 80 to 89, and 29 CVEs are
within the range of 70 to 79. It’s worth noting that 44 CVEs have SVRS scores
between 40 and 69, signifying a moderate level of risk as of now.

These numbers highlight the value of SVRS in providing a more nuanced
understanding of vulnerabilities. By incorporating qualitative elements, SVRS
paints a richer picture of the potential impact and urgency of a vulnerability.
It enables organizations to make more informed decisions regarding their
security measures.

Vulnerability Types of CVEs

Examining the data on vulnerability types leveraged by ransomware groups, we
discover a landscape dominated by one particularly menacing
vulnerability: Remote Code Execution (RCE).

With a staggering 40.6% share, RCE vulnerabilities stand as the favored weapon
in the arsenal of these malicious actors. This vulnerability type allows
attackers to execute arbitrary code on targeted systems. Its magnitude cannot be
underestimated. The consequences of successful RCE exploitation can be
devastating.

However, RCE is not the sole vulnerability type embraced by ransomware
groups. Privilege Escalation comes in second at 18%. It enables attackers to
elevate their access privileges within a system and move laterally. In return,
compromising additional resources. Bypass vulnerabilities account for 12.5%. It
provides cybercriminals with methods to evade or circumvent security controls,
while Denial of Service vulnerabilities stands at 9.4%. It allows attackers to
disrupt or disable critical services, causing operational chaos.

Further down the list, we find Overflow vulnerabilities at 5.5%, Directory
Traversal, and Memory Corruption, both at 3.9% each. It highlights the diverse
techniques employed by ransomware groups. 

Amidst this landscape, it is clear that RCE vulnerabilities reign supreme. It is
the gateway for ransomware attacks. Their ability to execute arbitrary code
grants cybercriminals unrestricted access to systems. It allows them to deploy
ransomware, encrypt valuable data, and hold it hostage for monetary gain.

Top Ransomware Groups

Two names stand out among the top ransomware groups since the beginning of
2021: LockBit and Conti. Let’s delve into their exploits and the impact they
have had since 2021.

Lockbit, represented by its two versions, LockBit 3.0 and LockBit2.0, has been a
formidable force. They launched, with their two versions, a staggering 892 and
869 attacks, respectively. With their sophisticated techniques and advanced
encryption algorithms, LockBit has become synonymous with high-profile breaches,
targeting organizations across industries.

Another notorious group, Conti, has etched its name in infamy with 574
documented attacks. However, a significant development unfolded in 2022,
as Conti collapsed due to an implosion. Still, their impact continues to
reverberate within the cybersecurity community. There are new groups formed from
the remains of Conti.

Alongside these prominent groups, others have left their mark on the ransomware
landscape. AlphV/BlackCat has carried out 440 attacks, while Black Basta has
inflicted its own brand of digital mayhem with 228 incidents. Hive, Royal,
and Vice Society round out the list, each leaving a trail of ransomware attacks
in their wake.

However, one group skyrocketed in 2023, the Cl0p Ransomware. They leveraged
zero-day vulnerabilities in MOVEit and GoAnywhere MFT software and launched
torrents of attacks on big targets. As you can see on the graphic below, they
currently sit in third place for the year 2023.

Top Ransomware Groups for the first half of 2023

Top groups did not see a huge change in the first half of 2023. LockBit still
stays way above any other group. In addition to the rise of Cl0p’s terror, we
can see another group, Medusa Team, etching itself as one of the top threats.

These numbers paint a grim picture of the pervasive threat posed by ransomware
groups. The sheer volume of attacks signifies the scale of their operations.


TOP 10 VULNERABILITIES LEVERAGED BY RANSOMWARE GROUPS


PROXYSHELL VULNERABILITIES

In August 2021, the cybersecurity community was alerted to the emergence
of ProxyShell. It is a dangerous chain of vulnerabilities targeting
on-premises Microsoft Exchange Servers. ProxyShell is comprised of three
critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-34473, CVE-2021-34523, and CVE-2021-31207.
These vulnerabilities affect versions of Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server
2016, and Exchange Server 2019. Exploiting these vulnerabilities, ransomware
groups can achieve pre-authenticated remote code execution (RCE), gaining
unauthorized access and disrupting organizations’ digital infrastructures. Since
then, sectors such as Education, Government, Business Services, and
Telecommunications have already fallen victim to ransomware attacks leveraging
ProxyShell vulnerabilities.

The ProxyShell exploit chain begins with the creation of an email item within a
mailbox. It leverages the Autodiscover service and the Messaging Application
Programming Interface (MAPI). These techniques allow attackers to obtain the
necessary credentials and access tokens to interact with Exchange Web Services
(EWS) as legitimate users.

CVE-2021-34473, the first vulnerability in the ProxyShell chain,
involves pre-auth path confusion. It enables attackers to bypass access control
lists (ACL) and gain arbitrary access to backend URLs as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
This initial breach sets the stage for the subsequent vulnerabilities to be
exploited.

CVE-2021-34523, the second vulnerability, exploits the Exchange PowerShell
backend. By downgrading from the NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM account to the target user,
who must possess local administrative privileges, attackers can execute
arbitrary Exchange PowerShell commands.

CVE-2021-31207, the final vulnerability in the ProxyShell chain, allows
attackers to write files, specifically web shells, through
the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet. These web shells, encoded in emails, are
exported to a specific path, where they become decoded and operational. It
potentially provides attackers with complete control over the compromised
system.

The LV Ransomware group has been found leveraging the ProxyShell vulnerability
chain. The emergence of LV Ransomware’s usage of ProxyShell underscores the
evolving tactics and capabilities of ransomware groups. It highlights the
critical importance of proactive vulnerability management against such threats.


PROXYLOGON VULNERABILITIES

The ProxyLogon vulnerabilities have garnered significant attention due to their
impact on Microsoft Exchange Server. These vulnerabilities, which
include CVE-2021-26855, CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, and CVE-2021-27065,
allowed threat actors to exploit weaknesses in the Exchange Server’s
authentication and remote code execution mechanisms.

CVE-2021-26855 represents a server-side request forgery (SSRF)
vulnerability that enabled unauthenticated attackers to send arbitrary HTTP
requests and authenticate as the Exchange Server. This allowed them to gain
unauthorized access and potentially exfiltrate sensitive information.

CVE-2021-26857 involved an insecure deserialization vulnerability, enabling
remote code execution. By sending a specially crafted request, attackers could
execute arbitrary code in the context of the Exchange Server, compromising the
entire system.

CVE-2021-26858 represented a post-authentication arbitrary file write
vulnerability. Exploiting this flaw allowed attackers with limited access to
write arbitrary files. In return, it could be leveraged for further exploitation
or to maintain persistence within the compromised environment.

CVE-2021-27065, the final vulnerability, pertained to a post-authentication
arbitrary file written in the Exchange Control Panel (ECP). Attackers could
utilize this vulnerability to write files and execute arbitrary code on the
server.

The ProxyLogon vulnerabilities collectively provided a pathway for threat actors
to gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, and perform malicious
activities within Exchange Server environments. The exploitation of these
vulnerabilities enabled attackers to carry out the deployment of ransomware in
addition to other types of attacks.

DoejoCrypt was observed exploiting the ProxyLogon vulnerabilities to gain
initial access to vulnerable Exchange Servers. Once inside the compromised
network, they deployed their ransomware payload, encrypting files across
affected systems and demanding a ransom for their decryption. The use of
ProxyLogon vulnerabilities provided DoejoCrypt with a way to bypass
authentication mechanisms and establish a foothold within the targeted
organization’s infrastructure.

Similarly, Pydomer capitalized on the ProxyLogon vulnerabilities to infiltrate
vulnerable Exchange Servers. By exploiting the weaknesses, Pydomer gained
unauthorized access and proceeded to deploy its ransomware, encrypting files and
paralyzing critical systems. Pydomer then demanded a ransom from the victimized
organizations in exchange for the decryption keys needed to restore the
encrypted files.


LOG4SHELL

Log4Shell is a significant vulnerability that emerged in December 2021. It
caused a major impact on the cybersecurity landscape. It is a zero-day
vulnerability discovered in the Apache Log4j logging library, widely used by
Java applications. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2021-44228 and carries
a critical CVSS score of 10.0.

The Log4Shell vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on
targeted systems. It potentially leads to system compromise and unauthorized
access to sensitive information. Given the extensive adoption of the Apache
Log4j library, the severity of this vulnerability is heightened. Many
organizations, including tech giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Tesla,
utilize this library in their environments.

Research conducted after the disclosure of the vulnerability revealed that Log4j
was one of the most downloaded libraries, indicating its prevalence. Numerous
projects were identified as vulnerable, with over 100 million instances of
software and technology affected. In a pool of 105,497 services assessed for the
Log4Shell vulnerability, a staggering 102,060 were found to be vulnerable.

Despite the high potential for exploitation, the public impact of Log4Shell has
been somewhat less catastrophic than initially anticipated. However, it remains
actively exploited by threat actors. The severity of the vulnerability led
the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) to classify it as an “endemic
vulnerability.” It means that it is expected to persist in systems for many
years, presenting a significant long-term risk.

out attacks. LockBit, Conti (disbanded), and Alphv/BlackCat were responsible for
the majority of Log4Shell incident response cases, with the average cost of a
Log4Shell compromise exceeding $90,000.


PRINTNIGHTMARE

The PrintNightmare vulnerability refers to a critical security flaw discovered
in the Windows Print Spooler service, which is responsible for managing print
jobs on Windows operating systems. This vulnerability was disclosed in June 2021
and is tracked as CVE-2021-34527.

The PrintNightmare vulnerability allows an attacker to remotely execute
arbitrary code with system-level privileges on a target system. This means that
an attacker who successfully exploits the vulnerability can take control of the
affected system. After that, install programs, view, change, or delete data, and
create new user accounts with full administrative rights.

The vulnerability gained significant attention because of its severity and the
potential for widespread impact. It affects multiple versions of the Windows
operating system, including Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8.1,
Windows Server 2012, Windows 10, and Windows Server versions 2016, 2019, and
2022.

Black Basta, a ransomware group known for its malicious activities, has expanded
its arsenal by leveraging the PrintNightmare vulnerability. According to
research conducted by Trend Micro, the operators of Black Basta have
incorporated the PrintNightmare vulnerability into their attack techniques. By
exploiting this vulnerability, Black Basta is able to spread laterally across
networks and encrypt critical files, demanding ransom payments for the encrypted
data.


ZEROLOGON

ZeroLogon is a critical vulnerability that affects the Windows Netlogon Remote
Protocol (MS-NRPC) used by Microsoft Active Directory (AD). It was assigned the
identifier CVE-2020-1472. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain
unauthorized access to the domain controller. Subsequently, take control of the
entire Windows domain network. By exploiting ZeroLogon, an attacker can
impersonate a domain controller, bypassing authentication measures and gaining
administrative privileges.

This vulnerability is particularly significant because it allows attackers to
achieve domain administrator access without requiring any user credentials. It
makes it highly dangerous and appealing to malicious actors. With full control
over the domain controller, an attacker can exploit the compromised network,
steal sensitive information, deploy ransomware, or carry out other malicious
activities.
