Federal Bank Breach Incident Score: Analysis & Impact (VMWFED1769279335)

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Federal Bank breach identified under incident ID VMWFED1769279335.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Federal Bank's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/federal-bank, the number of followers: 704473, the industry type: Banking and the number of employees: 12365 employees

After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 776 and after the incident was 772 with a difference of -4 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.

In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on Federal Bank and their customers.

Broadcom (VMware) recently reported "Critical VMware vCenter Vulnerability Added to CISA’s Exploited Flaws Catalog", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

CISA has added CVE-2024-37079, a critical vulnerability in Broadcom’s VMware vCenter Server, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog after confirming active exploitation in the wild.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting VMware vCenter Server, virtualized infrastructure.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Network segmentation to restrict vCenter access to trusted administrative networks, and began remediation that includes Upgrade to the latest secure versions of vCenter Server.

The case underscores how Active exploitation confirmed, remediation deadline set for FCEB agencies, and recommending next steps like Upgrade to the latest secure versions of vCenter Server, implement network segmentation, monitor for anomalous DCERPC traffic, and audit access logs for unauthorized attempts.

Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.

Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating cVE-2024-37079...allowing unauthenticated attackers with network access to execute remote code. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating out-of-bounds write issue in the DCERPC protocol implementation...execute remote code. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating potentially gain full control of affected systems. Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation of Remote Services (T1210) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating compromised vCenter Server could enable lateral movement across virtualized infrastructure. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Disable or Modify Cloud Firewall (T1562.007) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating network segmentation to restrict vCenter access to trusted administrative networks. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
