Umbreon is malware that provides unauthorized access to a compromised system through SSH or any other protocol that relies on PAM for authentication. The content indicates it can enable access via standard authentication facilities and can also work with its backdoor component, Espeon, to provide additional access by delivering a reverse shell when a special packet is received. High-confidence associated behavior is PAM-based authentication abuse for system access and reverse-shell capability via the related Espeon backdoor. No specific threat actor, industry targeting, infection vector, or indicators of compromise are provided in the content.
Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
6 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Numerous entries state malware can create a remote shell or reverse shell, for example 4H RAT, BLACKCOFFEE, DarkComet, PlugX, QuasarRAT, and others. | The content repeatedly describes threat actors and malware using cmd.exe, the Windows command shell, to execute commands, launch payloads, run batch files, and automate actions on compromised hosts.
