Discovery / credits: Malvuln - malvuln.com (c) 2022 Original source: https://malvuln.com/advisory/998022b70d83c6de68e5bdf94e0f8d71.txt Contact: malvuln13@gmail.com Media: twitter.com/malvuln Threat: BlackBasta Ransom Vulnerability: Code Execution Description: BlackBasta looks for and loads a DLL named "wow64log.dll" in Windows\System32. Therefore, we can drop our own DLL to intercept and terminate the malware pre-encryption. The exploit dll will simply display a Win32API message box and call exit(). Our BlackBasta exploit DLL must export "InterlockedExchange" function or it fails with error. We do not need to rely on hash signature or third-party product, the malware will do the work for us. Endpoint protection systems and or antivirus can potentially be killed prior to executing malware, but this method cannot as theres nothing to kill the DLL just lives on disk waiting. From defensive perspective you can add the DLLs to a specific network share containing important data as a layered approach. All basic tests were conducted successfully in a virtual machine environment.
