코로나 확진 안내문으로 사칭한 악성 도움말 파일 국내 유포
2022-03-31 • Ahnlab • Malicious help files disguised as coronavirus confirmation notices distributed domestically •
AhnLab ASEC reported malicious Windows HTML Help files distributed to domestic Korean users under the guise of COVID-19 confirmation and cohabitant guidance notices. Opening the CHM displays a decoy coronavirus notice while embedded script commands decompile content to c:\programdata\chmtemp and execute chmext.exe through hh.exe. ASEC links chmext.exe to the same type of payload seen in earlier malicious Word-document activity, with the dropped IntelRST.exe using process checks, Run-key persistence, UAC bypass, and Windows Defender exclusion behavior. The malware attempts to reach dl.dropboxusercontent[.]com/s/k288s9tu2o53v41/zs_url.txt?dl=0 to retrieve an additional URL for follow-on activity, though the URL was unavailable at analysis time.
