Rewterz Threat Alert – Lucifer New Cryptojacking and DDoS Hybrid Malware

Severity

High

Analysis Summary

Lucifer, capable of conducting DDoS attacks and well-equipped with all kinds of exploits against vulnerable Windows hosts is actively targeting Windows systems with cryptojacking and DDoS capabilities. Researchers have identified a self-propagating malware, dubbed Lucifer, that targets Windows systems with cryptojacking and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Lucifer targets PCs by bombarding them with exploits in hopes of  taking advantage of an “exhaustive” list of unpatched vulnerabilities.

The vulnerabilities targeted by Lucifer include Rejetto HTTP File Server (CVE-2014-6287), Oracle Weblogic (CVE-2017-10271), ThinkPHP RCE (CVE-2018-20062), Apache Struts (CVE-2017-9791), Laravel framework  CVE-2019-9081), and Microsoft Windows (CVE-2017-0144, CVE-2017-0145, and CVE-2017-8464). 

Lucifer is not only capable of dropping XMRig for cryptojacking Monero, it’s also capable of command and control (C2) operation and self-propagation through the exploitation of multiple vulnerabilities and credential brute-forcing after scanning of open TCP ports (also known as port 1433) or open Remote Procedure Call (RPC) ports (also known as port 135). Additionally, it drops and runs EternalBlue, EternalRomance, and DoublePulsar backdoor against vulnerable targets for intranet infections.
