Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the CD PROJEKT SA breach identified under incident ID CD-1765461818.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of CD PROJEKT SA's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cd-projekt-sa, the number of followers: 24691, the industry type: Computer Games and the number of employees: 88 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 752 and after the incident was 749 with a difference of -3 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 CD PROJEKT SA and their customers.

On 01 November 2024, Gogs users (self-hosted instances) disclosed Remote Code Execution (RCE) issues under the banner "Gogs Zero-Day Vulnerability Exploited for Remote Code Execution (CVE-2025-8110)".

An unpatched zero-day vulnerability in Gogs, a popular self-hosted Git service, has enabled attackers to gain remote code execution on Internet-facing instances and compromise hundreds of servers.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Over 700 Gogs servers compromised out of 1,400 exposed online, and exposing System files and Git configurations overwritten; potential data exfiltration via malware.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Disable open registration, limit access via VPN or allow list, and began remediation that includes Patch not yet available (as of November 2024); recommended to check for suspicious repositories/API usage, and stakeholders are being briefed through Public disclosure by Wiz Research; advisories to Gogs users.

The case underscores how Ongoing (patch in development as of October 2024), teams are taking away lessons such as Default open registration settings in Gogs create a massive attack surface. Organizations must disable open registration and restrict access to self-hosted Git services. Regular monitoring for suspicious API usage and repository activity is critical, and recommending next steps like Immediately disable open registration in Gogs instances, Limit access to Gogs servers using VPNs or allow lists and Check for repositories with random 8-character names and suspicious PutContents API usage, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Gogs maintainers notified; users advised to disable open registration and restrict access.

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.

MITRE ATT&CK® Correlation Analysis

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%), supported by evidence indicating exploitation of unpatched zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-8110) via Internet-facing Gogs servers. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including arbitrary command execution when data is written via the API, and overwrite Git’s sshCommand configuration. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Server Software Component: Web Shell (T1505.003) with moderate to high confidence (85%), with evidence including supershell malware established reverse SSH shells, and malware built using open-source C2 framework. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Hide Artifacts: Email Hiding Rules (T1564.008) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating repositories with random eight-character names created in the same timeframe and File and Directory Permissions Modification: Linux and Mac File and Directory Permissions Modification (T1222.002) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating exploiting symbolic links to overwrite sensitive system files. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols (T1071.001) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating reverse SSH shells communicating with C2 server at 119.45.176.196. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (75%), supported by evidence indicating potential data exfiltration via Supershell malware (C2 communication detected). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
