                                      Netskope Threat Coverage: EtterSilent

                                      Apr 14 2021

                                      Co-authored by Dagmawi Mulugeta and Ghanashyam Satpathy

                                      Summary

                                      Intel 471 researchers have identified a new malicious document builder, dubbed “EtterSilent,” leveraged by various threat actor groups. One of the build options is a weaponized Microsoft Office document (maldoc) that uses malicious macros to download and execute an externally hosted payload. The maldocs pose as templates for DocuSign, a cloud-based electronic signature service. Attackers aim to capitalize on the popularity of DocuSign and the trust that victims may place on inbound DocuSign emails. Mimicking popular cloud services and using maldocs for malware delivery are common tactics used by cybercriminals. Maldocs account for 20% of malicious content detected on the Netskope Security Cloud platform.

                                      EtterSilent was used in a recent Trickbot campaign where the maldoc was attached in an email that pretended to be a payment invoice posing as Docusign or Digicert document. On March 19, 2021, Intel 471 identified that EtterSilent was used as part of a Bazar loader campaign to download the Bazar backdoor. Other banking trojans—IcedId, BokBot, Gozi ISFB, and Qakbot/QBot—have also used EtterSilent in conjunction with their schemes. The researchers outline that as the builder has grown in popularity, it is constantly updated to avoid detection.

                                      EtterSilent uses Excel 4.0 macros stored inside a hidden sheet, instead of VBA macros. A screenshot of one sample (2baf563da8db9e2ed765fa7697025d277d06ee53424f6513671f2f6b7441387b) from Intel 471’s blog can be seen below, prompting victims to click “Enable Content” and run the malicious macro code.

                                      A partial evaluation and deobfuscation of the Excel macro reveals references to Rundll32and the RegisterServer API, as well as downloads of additional malicious payloads.

                                      Netskope Advanced Threat Protection provides proactive coverage against maldocs using multiple layers of protection, including signature-based detection, a custom Microsoft Office analyzer, and a cloud sandbox to detect both existing and novel maldoc threats.
