Chinese Hackers Exploiting Ivanti VPN Flaws to Deploy New Malware

Feb 29, 2024 Threat intelligence / Vulnerability
At least two different suspected China-linked cyber espionage clusters, tracked as  UNC5325  and  UNC3886 , have been attributed to the exploitation of security flaws in Ivanti Connect Secure VPN appliances. UNC5325 abused  CVE-2024-21893  to deliver a wide range of new malware called LITTLELAMB.WOOLTEA, PITSTOP, PITDOG, PITJET, and PITHOOK, as well as attempted to maintain persistent access to compromised appliances, Mandiant said. The Google-owned threat intelligence firm has assessed with moderate confidence that UNC5325 is associated with UNC3886 owing to source code overlaps in LITTLELAMB.WOOLTEA and PITHOOK with malware used by the latter. It's worth pointing out that  UNC3886  has a track record of leveraging zero-day flaws in Fortinet and VMware solutions to deploy a variety of implants like VIRTUALPITA, VIRTUALPIE, THINCRUST, and CASTLETAP. "UNC3886 has primarily targeted the defense industrial base, technology, and telecommunication orga...
