Acram Digital Breach Incident Score: Analysis & Impact (ACR1765814240)

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Acram Digital breach identified under incident ID ACR1765814240.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Acram Digital's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/acram-digital, the number of followers: 0, the industry type: Computer Games and the number of employees: 13 employees

After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 804 and after the incident was 802 with a difference of -2 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.

In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on Acram Digital and their customers.

Gogs users recently reported "Critical Zero-Day Vulnerability in Gogs Leading to Remote Code Execution", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

A critical zero-day vulnerability in Gogs, a popular self-hosted Git service, has been actively exploited by attackers, leading to remote code execution on internet-facing Gogs instances and resulting in the compromise of numerous servers.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Hundreds of internet-facing servers, and exposing Sensitive data.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Restrict access to Gogs instances by deploying them behind a firewall, Regularly audit systems for unusual activity or compromises and Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block attempts to exploit the vulnerability.

The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as The exploitation of this zero-day highlights the ongoing challenges faced by organizations relying on self-hosted services. Maintaining regular updates and security patches for software is crucial in thwarting such attacks, and recommending next steps like Restrict access to Gogs instances by deploying them behind a firewall, Regularly audit systems for unusual activity or compromises and Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block attempts to exploit the vulnerability.

Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.

Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including critical Zero-Day Vulnerability in Gogs Leading to Remote Code Execution, and improper input validation in Gogs codebase. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including remote code execution (RCE) on exposed instances, and execute arbitrary commands on vulnerable servers. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including unauthorized access to servers, and self-hosted Git service exploited for RCE. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Resource Hijacking (T1496) with moderate to high confidence (80%), with evidence including full server takeovers, and hundreds of internet-facing servers compromised and Account Access Removal (T1531) with moderate confidence (60%), with evidence including unauthorized access to servers, and potential data breaches. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Masquerading (T1036) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating malicious payloads sent to exploit improper input validation. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
