Later, the threat actor revisited to initiate the staging of artefacts related to the LockFile ransomware. Kevin Beaumont has documented how his Exchange honeypot detected exploitation by ProxyShell to drop a webshell. Several researchers have pointed to a ransomware group named LockFile that combines ProxyShell with PetitPotam. Although it may have been muffled by the other alarm cries about PrintNightmare, HiveNightmare, PetitPotam, and many others. The high number is surprising though, given the noise level about Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities has been high since March. We know there are many reasons why patching is difficult, and often slow. This can only happen where organisations use the on-premise version of Exchange, and system administrators haven’t installed the April and May patches. The Record reports that ProxyShell has been used to take over some 2,000 Microsoft Exchange mail servers in just two days.

The vulnerability allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM and write arbitrary files. Do bad things with CVE-2021-34523, a Microsoft Exchange Server remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.The vulnerability allows a user to raise their permissions. Take control with CVE-2021-34523, a Microsoft Exchange Server elevation of privilege (EoP) vulnerability.The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass the authentication process. Get in with CVE-2021-31207, a Microsoft Exchange Server security feature bypass vulnerability.
Simply explained, these three vulnerabilities can be chained together to allow a remote attacker to run code on the unpatched server. (To be more precise, the first two were patched in April and CVE-2021-31207 was patched in May.) The attack chain Fixes were available in the May 2021 Security Updates issued by Microsoft. This set of Exchange vulnerabilities is often grouped under the name ProxyShell. These vulnerabilities can be chained together to remotely execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine. Last Saturday the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued an urgent warning that threat actors are actively exploiting three Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities- CVE-2021-34473, CVE-2021-34523, and CVE-2021-31207.
