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 (90%), with evidence including exploiting vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler (CVE-2026-3055), and targeted Langflow servers vulnerable to CVE-2026-33017 and External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate to high confidence (80%), with evidence including exploiting Windows IKE VPN vulnerabilities, and citrix NetScaler breaches to extract memory. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including hermes Agent executes commands without prior approval (Yolo mode), and custom offensive-security tools executed via AI agent and User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating aI agent downloaded and executed exploits from public repositories. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Server Software Component: Web Shell (T1505.003) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating citrix NetScaler breaches used to harvest authentication cookies. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating privilege escalation checks automated by Hermes Agent in Thailand incident. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating aI agent operates in Yolo mode, bypassing approval workflows and Indicator Removal: File Deletion (T1070.004) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating aI agent manages its own compute resources (implied cleanup). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Steal Application Access Token (T1528) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating citrix NetScaler breaches to extract authentication cookies. Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified File and Directory Discovery (T1083) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating file system traversal and document cataloging by Hermes Agent, Network Service Discovery (T1046) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating fOFA internet asset search engine used for target identification, and System Service Discovery (T1007) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating service enumeration automated by Hermes Agent. Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation of Remote Services (T1210) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating manual attacks on 460+ systems via known vulnerabilities. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Information Repositories (T1213) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating document cataloging by Hermes Agent in Thailand incident. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating authentication cookies harvested from Citrix NetScaler breaches. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
