However, the FBI says in the new alert that advanced persistent threat (APT) actors have been exploiting CVE-2021-44515 since at least October 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since at least late October 2021, APT actors have been actively exploiting a zero-day, now identified as CVE-2021-44515, on ManageEngine Desktop Central servers,&#8221; the FBI alert said.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has previously attributed some of the earlier activity to a Chinese hacker group that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/microsoft-chinese-hackers-are-targeting-zoho-manageengine-software\/\">was installing web shells on compromised servers<\/a> to gain persistence on compromised servers. The flaws affected IT management products used by end-user organizations and managed service providers. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The FBI now says it observed APT actors compromising Desktop Central servers using the flaw, now known as CVE-2021-44515 to drop a webshell that overrides a legitimate function of Desktop Central.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The attackers then downloaded post-exploitation tools, enumerated domain users and groups, conducted network reconnaissance, attempted lateral movement across the network and dumped credentials.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>ManageEngine is the enterprise IT management software division of Zoho, a company well known for its software-as-a-service products.<\/p>\n<p>The flaw affects Desktop Central software for both enterprise customers and the version for managed service provider (MSP) customers.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI has filled in some details about how attackers are abusing the flaw after obtaining samples that were downloaded from likely compromised ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus servers.<\/p>\n<p>It has seen attackers upload two variants of web shells with the filenames emsaler.zip (variant 1, late October 2021), eco-inflect.jar (variant 1, mid November 2021) and aaa.zip (variant 2, late November 2021). The webshell overrides the legitimate Desktop Central application protocol interface servlet endpoint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The webshell is also used for reconnaissance and domain enumeration. Eventually, the attackers install a remote access tool (RAT) for further intrusion, lateral movement, and credential dumping using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/marriott-ceo-shares-post-mortem-on-last-years-hack\/\">penetration testing tool Mimikatz<\/a>, and LSASS process memory dumping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The attackers also used the Windows authentication protocol WDigest to steal credentials through an LSASS dump, signaling the attackers were using so-called &#8216;living off the land&#8217; legitimate tools for nefarious purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Others tools in this category include Microsoft&#8217;s BITSAdmin command-line tool &#8220;to download a likely ShadowPad variant dropper with filename mscoree.dll, and a legitimate Microsoft AppLaunch binary, iop.exe&#8221;, according to the FBI. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ManageEngine has strongly advised customers to update their installations to the latest build
