MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

7 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Initial Access

1 technique

T1190Exploit Public-Facing ApplicationEvidence1

Further investigation traced the intrusion back to a SQL injection flaw in a public-facing web application connected to the Oracle database. A form field within the application had failed to properly validate user input, allowing the attacker to submit malicious SQL statements that the application executed without question.

Execution

2 techniques

T1059Command and Scripting InterpreterEvidence1

Using the command-execution module, the attacker pivoted from the database to the underlying Windows server, running whoami to confirm they had SYSTEM-level privileges, effectively achieving full remote code execution that originated from the database layer. From there, the attacker used PowerShell and native Windows utilities...

T1059.001PowerShellEvidence1

From there, the attacker used PowerShell and native Windows utilities, including the registry tool and the Extensible Storage Engine utility, to copy the SAM, SECURITY and SYSTEM registry hives and enumerate running services...

Credential Access

2 techniques

T1003OS Credential DumpingEvidence1

Huntress said it was alerted to suspicious activity... after detecting attempts to copy the SAM, SECURITY and SYSTEM Windows registry hives, files typically targeted by attackers seeking to extract and crack stored credentials.

T1003.002Security Account ManagerEvidence1

...detecting attempts to copy the SAM, SECURITY and SYSTEM Windows registry hives, files typically targeted by attackers seeking to extract and crack stored credentials.

Discovery

2 techniques

T1082System Information DiscoveryEvidence1

...running whoami to confirm they had SYSTEM-level privileges... From there, the attacker used PowerShell and native Windows utilities... to... enumerate running services...

T1083File and Directory DiscoveryEvidence1

Additional components allowed the attacker to browse the file system, confirm the toolkit was reachable, and unzip files...

Hackers Smuggle Post-Exploitation Toolkit Into Oracle Database Via Classic SQL Injection Flaw - IT Security Guru

A custom-built, database-resident post-exploitation toolkit stored as Oracle schema objects using CREATE JAVA SOURCE. It included modules to execute arbitrary OS commands from within the database, extract usernames and password data from Oracle internal user tables, browse the file system, verify toolkit reachability, and unzip files, enabling pivoting from the Oracle database to the underlying Windows host with SYSTEM-level command execution.
