Threat: Trojan.Win32.Cosmu.abix
Vulnerability: Insecure Permissions
Description: The malware writes several PE files and a dir with insecure
permissions under c drive granting change (C) permissions to the
authenticated user group. Standard users can rename the executable dropped
by the malware to disable it or replace it with their own executable. Then
wait for a privileged user to logon to the infected machine to potentially
escalate privileges.
Type: PE32
MD5: b4638a10f7cfdbf39b9fef7539c63852
Vuln ID: MVID-2022-0494
