CTOnews.com, November 22, when you download a file from a remote location that you can't trust, such as a website or email attachment, the Windows system adds a special attribute to the file called "Mark of the Web" (MoTW for short). Recently, a zero-day vulnerability has been exposed in the Windows system, which can release Qbot malware without displaying the "network tag".
CTOnews.com learned that MoTW is a supplementary data stream that contains file information such as URL security zones, referrals, download URL, and so on. When users try to open a file with the MoTW attribute, Windows displays a security warning asking them if they are sure they want to open the file.
The warning reads: "while files from the Internet may be useful, this file type may damage your computer. If you don't trust the source, please do not open this software."
HP's threat intelligence team (HP Threat Intelligence) reported last month that hackers were found distributing Magniber blackmail software in the form of JavaScript files during a cyber attack phishing. These JavaScript files are different from those used on the site, but are stand-alone files with the ".JS" extension, executed using the Windows scripting host (wscript.exe).
After analyzing the files, Will Dormann, a senior vulnerability analyst at ANALYGENCE, found that the threats used a new Windows zero-day vulnerability that prevented the flags in the network security warnings from being displayed.
By exploiting this vulnerability, JS files (or other types of files) can be signed with signature blocks encoded by embedded base64. After that, the user opens the malware and is not marked by Microsoft SmartScreen and displays a MoTW security warning, but automatically allows the program to run.
This QBot malware phishing activity distributes ZIP files containing ISO images and password protection. These ISO images contain a Windows shortcut and DLLs to install malware.
CTOnews.com has learned that Microsoft has fixed this vulnerability in its cumulative update released on Tuesday, November 2022.
