Threat: Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Decay.dxv (CyberGate v1.00.0)
Vulnerability: Insecure Proprietary Password Encryption
Family: CyberGate
Type: PE32
MD5: 618f28253d1268132a9f10819a6947f2
Vuln ID: MVID-2022-0664
Disclosure: 12/11/2022
Description: This well known RAT malware stores credentials using a proprietary insecure encryption routine in its "Settings.ini" file. The recovery procedure is trivial to decrypt stored credentials. theres no key, xor or combined encrypt mechanism and relies on basic SUB, ADD and bitwise operations SHR and SHL. Analysis of the following single encrypted character table reveal the pattern 0,G,W,m that repeats every few alpha-numeric characters a-c, d-g, h-k etc...
E.g.
a=OG
b=OW
c=Om
d=P0
e=PG
f=PW
g=Pm
h=Q0
i=QG
j=QW
k=Qm
l=R0
m=RG
n=RW
o=Rm
p=S0
q=SG
r=SW
s=Sm
t=T0
u=TG
v=TW
w=Tm
x=U0
y=UG
z=UW
"Settings.ini"
senhaconexao=OM9Z
For example, the password "abc" is stored as "OM9Z", in order to recover the first character we need only perform the following bitwise operations SUB, ADD, SHR and SHL.
OM9Z = "abc"
To recover the first password character, use the first two stored values "OM" which will return the ascii value "a".
key="0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+/"
get 'a'
b="PQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+/"
eax = len(key) - len(b)
eax
25
ebx = eax -1
ebx
24
b="NOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+/"
ecx = len(key) - len(b)
ecx
23
edx = ecx -1
edx
22
ebx << 6
1536
hex(1536)
'0x600'
hex(22)
'0x16'
0x600 + 0x16
1558
hex(1558)
'0x616'
0x616 >> 4
97
hex(97)
'0x61'
61 = 'a'

#=========================================================================
#
#PoC to decrypt credentials due to flawed proprietary encryption.
#RAT password save usage:
#Click 'START' / Options then choose 'Select listening ports' from menu.
#Enter a new password in the 'Connection Password' field and click save.
#Password gets stored in 'Settings.ini' file.
#
#Note: Should recover most numeric and or lowercase passwords. May return
#multiple password candidates depending on the password recovered.
#Some limitation with long and or complex passwords, did not put much time on it!
#
#TODO: Better handle complex long mixed letters and or repeating characters.
#Author is NOT responsible for any misuse or incorrect password recovery,
#the user accepts ALL risk by using the software.
