ssp_dump_lsass is an open-source credential theft utility observed by Cisco Talos in intrusions attributed to the Chinese-speaking threat actor UAT-7237. Talos reported that the actor used the GitHub project under the filename "Project1.exe" to dump Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) memory and steal credentials. In the observed usage, the executable takes a DLL file as an argument, injects that DLL into the LSASS process, and causes LSASS memory to be dumped to a BIN file. Talos also reported that UAT-7237 archived the resulting dumps with 7-Zip for exfiltration. The malware was used post-compromise as part of credential access activity during an intrusion into a Taiwanese web hosting provider, alongside other tooling such as Mimikatz, SoundBill, JuicyPotato, FScan, SharpWMI, and WMICmd. High-confidence behavior directly described in the reporting is limited to LSASS injection and memory dumping for credential theft; no additional standalone infection vector or platform scope beyond Windows/LSASS process targeting is specified in the provided content.
