Gents, this is an attack.

Check your firewalls. We've had all firewalls disabled on more than 20 systems. Still working to find out more about the issue.

aidanstevens29 commented 4 years ago

Appears to be related to CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652. A backdoor was also installed via the exploit to /var/tmp/salt-store.

xiaopanggege commented 4 years ago

Maybe it is CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652，Because my salt-master has access across the extranet

193.33.87.231

Russian IP I saw an example out there that was an AWS server (52.8.126.80)

prryplatypus commented 4 years ago

A scan revealed over 6,000 instances of this service exposed to the public Internet. Getting all of these installs updated may prove a challenge as we expect that not all have been configured to automatically update the salt software packages.

To aid in detecting attacks against vulnerable salt masters, the following information is provided.

Exploitation of the authentication vulnerabilities will result in the ASCII strings "_prep_auth_info" or "_send_pub" appearing in data sent to the request server port (default 4506). These strings should not appear in normal, benign, traffic.

Published messages to minions are called "jobs" and will be saved on the master (default path /var/cache/salt/master/jobs/). These saved jobs can be audited for malicious content or job ids ("jids") that look out of the ordinary. Lack of suspicious jobs should not be interpreted as absence of exploitation however.

opiumfor commented 4 years ago

Seems like it's better to stop salt-masters for a while

ndmgrphc commented 4 years ago

Stopping salt masters does not stop the processes from running. Also, can we expect that the exploiters have had root access to every minion?

nebev commented 4 years ago

Been affected :( . Done the following: Stopped all Salt Masters, and run the following:

kill -9 $(pgrep salt-minion)
kill -9 $(pgrep salt-minions)
kill -9 $(pgrep salt-store)
rm /tmp/salt-minions
rm /var/tmp/salt-store

Not sure if this is enough at the moment

We are investigating salt-store (loader: hxxp://217.12.210.192/salt-store, hxxps://bitbucket.org/samk12dd/git/raw/master/salt-store) and you should do the same, not the salt-minions (miner)!

We have the same problem, the program shut down all the services, include nginx 、redis

taigrr commented 4 years ago

It enables hugepages.

atoponce commented 4 years ago

Probably wise to change your passwords if you've been logging into root.

taigrr commented 4 years ago

Here's what my salt-store tried to run:

/usr/sbin/sh -c pkill -f salt-minions
/usr/sbin/sh -c chmod +x /tmp/salt-minions
/usr/sbin/sh -c /tmp/salt-minions &

(The last 2 lines execute in a loop until it can detect the miner is running)

Method of detection: spun up a docker container, replaced /bin/sh with a script which logs all run commands to a tmpfile.

Dockerfile:

FROM archlinux
ADD salt-store .
ADD hello.sh .
RUN chmod +x salt-store
RUN chmod +x hello.sh
RUN cp /bin/sh /bin/shh
CMD /bin/bash

hello.sh:

#!/bin/bash
read -r line
/bin/echo "$0 $*" >> /log.txt
/bin/bash -c "$*"

Build container, spin up, run "mv /hello.sh /bin/sh", run "./salt-store", wait 2 minutes, cat log.txt

salt-store also auto-downloads the salt-minions binary to /tmp/salt-minions. Not a shell script, uses golang built-in.

Avasz commented 4 years ago

It also stopped and disabled Docker services. Spent few moments thinking Docker ports stopped working because of disabled firewall rules, and was trying to configure iptables forwarding before noticing Docker was disabled. :facepalm:

taigrr commented 4 years ago

Yes. Stops Confluence, webservers, aliyun, redis, docker, basically anything CPU intensive so he can steal all your resources for his miner :)

tommyhaas1 commented 4 years ago

Also creates/modifies /etc/selinux/config to:

SELINUX=disabled

Modifies /root/.wget-hsts as well

Modifies root's crontab /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root (in my case with no suspicious entries)

taigrr commented 4 years ago

I've reported the bitbucket repo to atlassian as a malware distribution point.

eugenegubich commented 4 years ago

Also found file /etc/salt/minion.d/_schedule.conf

schedule:
  __mine_interval: {enabled: true, function: mine.update, jid_include: true, maxrunning: 2,
    minutes: 60, return_job: false, run_on_start: true}

But i found this file is generated by salt minion, so nevemind.

justinimn commented 4 years ago

I got hit a few hours ago and they hit a host with snoopy running if anyone is interested in what commands they're running in their payload. Looks like they also knock out /var/log/syslog, set kernel.nmi_watchdog=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf, and disable apparmor in systemd.

salt-miner-snoopy-log.txt

Edit: Still going through the lines, but it looks like they also knock out ufw and flush all the chains

@justinimn you are a godsend. Thank you!

Update: Was able to search some of the strings from the snoopy output.

Contacted the abuse team for 193.33.87.231 (by chance we're hosted by the same company that owns this AS), it's one of their clients and they're looking into it. My bet it's a hacked VPS.

@onewesong I contacted atlassian over 2 hours ago. Will report back once they respond. So far, nothing.

Edit: 9 hours later and still no response.

Edit: 13 hours. Sheesh. Guess I won't hear back until Monday.

I can confirm this is being delivered via the new cve exploiting exposed port 4506 on salt masters.

This thread has been amazing - my monitoring was going crazy; Slack messages, text messages, emails - it was screaming for help. Thanks to you guys, i've been successful in #1. upgrading my salt-master (I was on a 2018 version); and #2: identifying that it's the same issue that I was plagued with. So thank you very much for the information thus far.

I'm nowhere near the sysadmin that you guys are, but I have 17 servers that were affected. If there's anything I can dig up to help the investigation just let me know and I'd be more than happy to pitch in with data.

Additionally, I'm in AWS with everything. Right now 4505 and 4506 are both open to the world; I'm guessing despite upgrading salt, these ports should be closed to the world; Is it only the minions that need access to them or is there something else that needs access too?

Now i'm off to figure out how to upgrade the minions on the servers.

@jblac Don't trust a compromised system. Reinstall is the only safe thing.
