1 CVE Mallory has correlated with this family across public research and vendor advisories. Each row links to the full Mallory page for that vulnerability.
SKYSEA Client View is a popular piece of asset management software in Japan. The software had a vulnerability (CVE-2016-7836) that allowed remote code execution due to a flaw in processing authentication on the TCP connection with the management console program. | Before March 2018, the attackers used to leverage Wali and the small downloader in order to spread xxmm and Datper.

24 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Both backdoors have unusually large inflated binaries (ranging between 50,000KB and 200,000KB). This is a tactic used to evade inspection by traditional antivirus software and other security products.
Uses encryption ... RSA + onetime RC4 encryption in its communication

Downloader/first-stage backdoor associated with REDBALDKNIGHT. Can open a shell and uses a steganography toolkit (xxmm2_builder / xxmm2_steganography) to embed malicious code/configuration (executables or URLs) into image files; shares the same alternative base64+RC4 steganography/encryption approach observed in later Daserf variants.
xxmm is a follow-on backdoor/bot distributed after initial compromise in BRONZE BUTLER/Tick campaigns, with related C&C panel infrastructure and configuration similarities to Wali.
A remote access trojan with multi-protocol command-and-control support over HTTP/S, TCP, UDP, and ICMP. It uses RSA plus one-time RC4 or default-key RC4 with LZNT1 compression and custom Base64-like encoding. It supports system reconnaissance, file listing/upload/download/deletion, directory creation, process creation, remote shell, PowerShell encoded command execution, changing C2 URLs and sleep intervals, plugin loading, and uninstall functionality.
