It's written to work on Linux servers, attackers are using a Confluence exploit (CVE-2019-3396) to infect outdated systems... | The malware, named Godlua, was detailed in a report published on Monday by the company's researchers. According to the Netlab team, Godlua is a malware strain written in Lua, which acts like a backdoor on infected systems.
7 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Both versions used DNS over HTTPS requests to retrieve the TXT (text record) of a domain name, where the URL of a subsequent command and control (C&C) server was being stored, and to which the Godlua malware was supposed to connect for further instructions.
The newness here is the usage of a DoH request instead of a classical DNS request. As the protocol's name clearly states, DNS over HTTPS works by sending DNS requests via an encrypted HTTPS connection
