CRITICAL EXPLOITED IN THE WILD RANSOMWARE

Kaseya VSA < 9.5.6 - Two-Factor Authentication Bypass via Client-Side Enforcement

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

CVE-2021-30120 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV, InTheWild.io), including in ransomware campaigns.

Description

Kaseya VSA before 9.5.7 allows attackers to bypass the 2FA requirement. The need to use 2FA for authentication in enforce client-side instead of server-side and can be bypassed using a local proxy. Thus rendering 2FA useless. Detailed description --- During the login process, after the user authenticates with username and password, the server sends a response to the client with the booleans MFARequired and MFAEnroled. If the attacker has obtained a password of a user and used an intercepting proxy (e.g. Burp Suite) to change the value of MFARequered from True to False, there is no prompt for the second factor, but the user is still logged in.
