MITRE R&D NETWORK HIT BY IVANTI ZERO-DAY EXPLOITS

Exploits of Ivanti VPN products have hit roughly 1,700 organizations. To Mitre,
guidance from the vendor and government fell short.

DIVE BRIEF:

 * Mitre Corp. said one of its research and prototyping networks was intruded in
   January by a nation-state linked attacker that exploited a pair of zero-day
   vulnerabilities in the organization’s remote access Ivanti VPN.
 * “We took all the recommended actions from the vendor, from the U.S.
   government, but they were clearly not enough,” Charles Clancy, SVP and CTO at
   Mitre, said Friday in a video statement. “As a result, we are issuing a call
   to action to the industry. The threat has gotten more sophisticated, and so
   too must our solutions to combat that threat.”
 * Mitre detected the cyberattack in its Network Experimentation, Research and
   Virtualization Environment, and the company quickly took the unclassified,
   collaborative network offline. “Based on our investigation to date, there is
   no indication that MITRE’s core enterprise network or partners’ systems were
   affected by this incident,” Mitre said Friday.





DIVE INSIGHT:

Mitre, a non-profit organization with close ties to the federal government and
plays a central role in cyber defense research, is one of about 1,700 entities
impacted by zero-day exploits in Ivanti Connect Secure products this year.

Mitre operates federally funded research and development centers for U.S.
government sponsors. Some of Mitre’s contributions to the cybersecurity sector
include CVE.org and the Mitre Att&ck matrix and knowledge base of attackers’
tactics and techniques.

The zero-day exploits of Ivanti products have ensnared some of the most
important organizations and agencies in cybersecurity. The Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency was also hit in January by a yet-to-be identified
attacker that exploited the critical vulnerabilities in Ivanti products the
agency used at the time.

The attack against Mitre, which involved lateral movement from an Ivanti VPN
into VMware infrastructure, occurred before the Ivanti zero-day vulnerabilities
were disclosed, Charles Clancy, SVP and CTO at Mitre, said Friday in a LinkedIn
post.

The attacker performed reconnaissance on one of Mitre’s networks, exploited one
of its Ivanti VPNs and “skirted past our multifactor authentication using
session hijacking,” Clancy and Lex Crumpton, defensive cyber operations
researcher, said in a blog post.

“From there, they moved laterally and dug deep into our network’s VMware
infrastructure using a compromised administrator account. They employed a
combination of sophisticated backdoors and webshells to maintain persistence and
harvest credentials,” Clancy and Crumpton said.

Mitre said the attack underscores the need to advance secure-by-design
principles, improve supply chain security, micro-segment networks and deploy
zero-trust architecture. The company did not immediately respond to a request
for comment.

An investigation into the full impact and scope of information exposed as a
result of the attack is ongoing.
