Persistence

1 technique

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

The malware gave an operator a practical way to enroll hosts, understand the environment around each agent, execute commands, move files, capture screenshots, proxy traffic, and maintain user level autostart.

Privilege Escalation

1 technique

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

Stealth

1 technique

T1036MasqueradingEvidence1

The starting point of the attack chain is an executable named "nvidia-sysruntime.exe," which impersonates NVIDIA's container runtime toolkit.

Discovery

2 techniques

T1082System Information DiscoveryEvidence1

In addition, it gathers the hostname, RAM size, CPU model, and the Windows User Account Control (UAC) state as a way to prepare the environment for the next stage...

T1518Software DiscoveryEvidence1

The configuration is then stored in a local SQLite database, following which it undertakes discovery operations to inventory the list of web browsers and security products installed on the host...

Collection

1 technique

T1113Screen CaptureEvidence1

Once deployed, it can profile the host, identify security tools, receive operator commands, move files, capture screenshots, and proxy traffic through the affected system.

Command and Control

5 techniques

T1071Application Layer ProtocolEvidence1

The implant also supports multiple communication methods, including HTTPS, WebView2, and DNS tunneling, allowing attackers to maintain access to compromised hosts even if one pathway is detected and closed off.

T1071.001Web ProtocolsEvidence1

The implant also supports multiple communication methods, including HTTPS, WebView2, and DNS tunneling...

T1071.004DNSEvidence1

The implant also supports multiple communication methods, including HTTPS, WebView2, and DNS tunneling...

T1090ProxyEvidence1

Once deployed, it can profile the host, identify security tools, receive operator commands, move files, capture screenshots, and proxy traffic through the affected system.

T1105Ingress Tool TransferEvidence1

Once deployed, it can profile the host, identify security tools, receive operator commands, move files, capture screenshots, and proxy traffic through the affected system.

LabubaRAT Masquerades as NVIDIA Software to Control Windows Hosts

Rust-based remote access trojan that masquerades as NVIDIA software, establishes persistent access, profiles hosts, identifies installed security tools and browsers, executes commands and scripts, captures screenshots, transfers files, supports SOCKS5 proxying, and communicates via HTTPS, WebView2, and DNS tunneling. The content also notes signs it may be offered via a malware-as-a-service model.
