Attackers Bypass Critical Microsoft Office Patch by Adapting a Novel “-40444” Exploit – SophosLabs

 Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, today released details of a novel exploit that bypasses a patch for a critical vulnerability (CVE-2021-40444) affecting the Microsoft Office file format. The findings are reported in a new SophosLabs Uncut article, “Attackers test ‘CAB-less 40444’ exploit in a dry run,” that shows how the attackers took a publicly available proof-of-concept Office exploit and weaponized it to deliver Formbook malware. The attackers then distributed it through spam emails for approximately 36 hours before it disappeared, according to Sophos researchers.

From CAB to “CAB-less” Exploit

In September 2021, Microsoft released a patch to prevent attackers from executing malicious code embedded in a Word document that downloads a Microsoft Cabinet (CAB) archive, which, in turn, contains a malicious executable. Sophos researchers discovered that attackers have reworked the original exploit by placing the malicious Word document inside a specially crafted RAR archive. The newer, “CAB-less” form of the exploit successfully evades the original patch.

Sophos data shows that the amended exploit was used in the wild for around 36 hours. According to Sophos researchers, the limited lifespan of the updated attack could mean it was a “dry run” experiment that might return in future incidents.

“In theory, this attack approach shouldn’t have worked, but it did,” said Andrew Brandt, principal threat researcher at Sophos. “The pre-patch versions of the attack involved malicious code packaged into a Microsoft Cabinet file. When Microsoft’s patch closed that loophole, attackers discovered a proof-of-concept that showed how you could bundle the malware into a different compressed file format, a RAR archive. RAR archives have been used before to distribute malicious code, but the process used here was unusually complicated. It likely succeeded only because the patch’s remit was very narrowly defined and because the WinRAR program that users need to open the RAR is very fault tolerant and doesn’t appear to mind if the archive is malformed, for example, because it’s been tampered with.”

The Infection Chain

Sophos researchers found that the attackers had created an abnormal RAR archive that had a PowerShell script prepending a malicious Word document stored inside the archive.

The attackers created and distributed spam emails that included the malformed RAR file as an attachment. The emails invited recipients to uncompress the RAR file to access the Word document. Opening the Word document triggered a process that ran the front-end script, leading eventually to an infection with Formbook malware.

“This research is a reminder that patching alone cannot protect against all vulnerabilities in all cases,” said Brandt. “Setting restrictions that prevent a user from accidentally triggering a malicious document helps, but people can still be lured into clicking the ‘enable content’ button. It is therefore vitally important to educate employees and remind them to be suspicious of emailed documents, especially when they arrive in unusual or unfamiliar compressed file formats from people or companies they don’t know. If in doubt, always check with the sender or someone in IT.”

The CVE-2021-40444 vulnerability is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability that attackers can exploit to execute any code or commands on a target machine without the owner’s knowledge. Microsoft released an urgent mitigation followed by a patch in September. Sophos researchers found the 36 hours-campaign featuring the new exploit in late October.

Sophos endpoint products will detect the weaponized archive files that contain the “CAB-less -40444” exploit as Troj/PSDL-KP

NetApp helps Narayana Health advance medical care in India through cloud-based patient record systems

NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global cloud-led, data-centric software company, today announced that it has been selected by Narayana Health to modernize its IT systems and satisfy the new demands of healthcare management. NetApp will help Narayana Health to optimise storage and data management efficiencies across locations thereby helping advance medical care in India.  

 

With this collaboration, Narayana Health unveiled Athma — a homegrown records management system that allows the company to manage its data securely and efficiently while taking advantage of NetApp® solutions.  

 

As one of the largest hospital groups in the country, Narayana Health treats over 2.6 million patients every year, making data critical to its operations. A huge challenge faced by the group was to provide rapid access to patient records to facilitate faster diagnosis and shorter response times. Because a reliable and responsive IT infrastructure was crucial to achieving this objective, Narayana Health deployed NetApp technology solutions to store and process patient records and images. The resulting system, Athma, captures, stores, and retrieves networks across 15 sites. The system enables medical staff and patients to access their entire medical history in a few seconds—further enhancing the quality of healthcare services provided by Narayana. 

 

Elaborating on NetApp’s offering, Ramu Manjunath, Core Infrastructure Head, Narayana Health, said, “NetApp comes with a unique approach to data management. Storing data on NetApp is much faster compared to the other solution providers. It offered simple and easy infrastructure management solutions to our engineers. The whole shift to NetApp was fairly simple and seamless from implementation, architectural, and support standpoints.” 

 

“With Athma, patients have the complete continuity of their entire medical history. Their history is available in our system and can be pulled in a few seconds, so the doctors can review and take a call rather than going back and forth finding records or reinvesting in investigations,” he added. 

 

Speaking about the impact the collaboration aims to bring, Puneet Gupta, managing director & VP India/SAARC, NetApp India Marketing and Services, said, “Simplicity is at the core of everything we do at NetApp. Our solutions are designed to be easy to implement as well as scalable. For the new-age medical care providers, accessibility to data and healthcare records is of prime importance today. With our legacy and experience in data management, and our core technology offerings, we are happy to contribute to the changing healthcare landscape in India. It’s an accomplishment to see our solutions directly enable medical practitioners to offer better medical care to the needy.” 

The centralized storage system for data and applications is built on NetApp and is made available on the cloud. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP® software makes storage easy to manage. Two fully replicated data centers, one in central India and the other in south India, are running backup and recovery using Azure NetApp Files and NetApp file services. The system provides clinical staff with critical and timely insights that further enable them to extend better care to patients.  

 

The Narayana Health hospital system plans to expand: It plans to increase the number of locations and add more clinical services to its 60-plus specialties. Over the course of this expansion, NetApp technology will help. Cloud Volumes ONTAP will provide the ability to manage optimization, and tools such as the NetApp Active IQ® Digital Advisor will help the hospital system manage and optimise costs.

Funding announcement | Unbox Robotics raises $7 million in Series-A from 3one4 Capital, Sixth Sense Ventures, Redstart Labs & others

Unbox Robotics, a leading supply chain robotics technology company, raised $7 million in a Series-A round led by 3one4 Capital with participation from Sixth Sense Ventures and Redstart Labs (Info Edge). The round also saw participation from Unbox Robotics’ founders Pramod Ghadge, Shahid Memon and its CPO Rohit Pitale, alongside its existing investors – US-based venture capital firm SOSV, Arali Ventures, WEH Ventures, BEENEXT, Karthik Bhat’s Force Ventures, Dr Vijay Kedia (Kedia Securities), Aditya Singh (Stride Ventures) and Pavitar Singh (Sprinklr). Other investors who participated in the round include Rahul Chaudhary (Treebo Hotels), Nikhil Vora and Kathan Shah (Sixth Sense Ventures), and Veda VC.

The funds raised will be primarily used to expand the team across functions, fulfil the customer demand internationally, R & D and expand to new geographies. The company has already onboarded some of the largest e-commerce and logistics enterprises as early adopters through trials/pilots and has filed IP for its technology in India, the US and the EU.

Unbox Robotics specialises in robotics-based fulfilment and distribution technology for small to large e-commerce, retail and logistics enterprises. The company’s high-speed robotics solutions are built to consolidate customers’ orders in fulfilment centres, as well as to sort them as per final delivery locations in distribution centres or delivery hubs. Its proprietary plug-and-play Swarm robotics can bring down the deployment time at locations to less than a week. The product’s USP lies in its ability to scan, sort, and dispatch packages in less than 50-70% physical space, while improving personnel productivity by more than 3X and reducing operational cost of package sorting by more than 60%— thereby solving challenges in warehouse management sustainably. The first-of-its-kind system allows users to automate not just bigger facilities with a physical space of a few hundred thousand sq ft, but also automate micro-hubs with less than 2,000 sqft space through an innovative and compact vertical sorting mechanism.

Pramod Ghadge, CEO and Co-Founder of Unbox Robotics, said, “We are obsessed with improving the ways packages are handled, distributed, and delivered to end customers. We believe that there’s a massive potential for building and deploying robotics tech to deliver more packages using smaller footprints at lower operational costs as we see more adoption of e-commerce and Q-commerce (quick commerce) across the globe. Since we launched our beta pilots with leading third-party logistics and e-commerce players in April 2021, we have already got orders from some of the leading e-commerce logistics companies. We are on our way to converting every other pilot or demo into a commercial contract. We will deploy the funds to build an A+ team to help our customers experience the future of logistics, sorting and supply chain across continents.”

“Unbox Robotics takes a novel approach in technology development to crack some of the most critical concerns in customers’ supply chains. We are excited to build a diverse team and further develop outstanding robotics technology for the future of global supply chains,” added Shahid Memon, CTO and Co-Founder of Unbox Robotics.

The founding team of Unbox comes with rich experience in the robotics space. Pramod had earlier implemented India’s first robot-based sorting project at a leading Indian e-commerce company, while Shahid built a robotics company in the past. Unbox Robotics earlier won the India Innovation Growth Programme 2.0 organised by the Government of India, Lockheed Martin and Tata Trusts among 2,000+ startups. The team was also awarded the Leaders in Innovation Fellowship programme by the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK.

Speaking on the investment, Anurag Ramdasan, Partner, 3one4 Capital, said, “Globally supply chain and logistics have been reshaped with the growth in e-commerce and D2C over the last decade. Every layer of the stack today requires incredible optimisation and automation today to service the growing demand. Unbox Robotics is doing amazing work in identifying and solving these high-value problems and the team built by Pramod, Shahid and Rohit bring deep domain expertise to tackle this problem at scale. We are highly excited to start this journey with them as they streamline logistics and redefine the space.”

Nikhil Vora, Founder and CEO of Sixth Sense Ventures, commented, “We believe the e-commerce and D2C boom is creating a large need for automation solutions within warehouses and FCs, with the industry slated to grow to $32 billion over the next 2-3 years. This coupled with evolving consumer expectations, labour shortage, omnichannel distribution, and technology accessibility has made robotics a priority for both e-commerce and fulfilment companies. Unbox’s compact, vertical, and modular system is well suited for current market needs. Excited to partner with Pramod and Shahid, who bring deep and relevant industry experience as we scale the company together.”

The logistics industry is expected to handle more than 2X the number of shipments in the next 5 years, while the logistics automation market is expected to reach more than $100 billion by 2026. There’s a massive opportunity to serve customers within the urban clusters using the smallest footprint of warehousing facilities possible and cater to customers in tier-2 & 3 cities with same-day deliveries. The market growth is fuelled by exponential growth in e-commerce and the focus on efficient warehousing operations.
