In this case, the targets are Windows hosts on both the internet and intranet, given that the attacker is leveraging certutil utility in the payload for malware propagation” sid the researchers in a blog post. “Once exploited, the attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable device. Palo Alto Networks’ researchers observed that the new variant of Lucifer is immensely powerful as it performs crypto-jacking by dropping XMRig to mine for Monero cryptocurrency, connect to C&C server and enable self-propagation via exploiting multiple vulnerabilities along with launching credential brute-forcing.įurthermore, it can drop/run leaked NSA exploits including DoublePulsar, EternalBlue, and EternalRomance against vulnerable devices to enable intranet infection.
