Problem

Proprietary ReversingLabs analysis engine supports a wide range of commonly used archive and software packaging formats. Using automated static file decomposition technologies, the engine recursively analyzes complex software packages. Software analysis is typically conducted in multiple steps. Content identification, unpacking, validation, and classification are some of the steps performed on each analyzed file. The analysis engine may sometimes report file integrity problems while performing unpacking or validation steps. Failed integrity validation checks indicate that the content cannot be verified using its embedded checksums. This issue is commonly reported for packages with content that may be incomplete or corrupted. In rare occurrences this issue may indicate a problem with the analysis engine's file format parsing functions.

Problem

Data Execution Prevention (DEP/NX) is a vulnerability mitigation option that prevents data from being interpreted as code anywhere within the application. This mitigation protects the application stack, heap and other memory data ranges. Executable files that fail to implement this mitigation expose the user to increased risks of malicious code injection.

It's highly recommended to enable this option for all software components used at security boundaries, or those that process user controlled inputs.

To enable this mitigation, refer to your programming language linker documentation.

In Microsoft VisualStudio, you can enable DEP mitigation by setting the linker option /NXCOMPAT to ON.

Problem

Sensitive executable memory regions should be kept as read-only to protect the integrity of trusted execution code flow paths. Imported function addresses are pointers to the symbols that implement the application-required functionality. If those pointers are changed by malicious code, execution paths can be redirected to unintended locations. Most modern programming language toolchains protect those memory regions appropriately. These issues are commonly reported for outdated linkers and non-compliant executable packing solutions.

Problem

Sensitive executable memory regions should be kept as read-only to protect the integrity of trusted execution code flow paths. Thread local storage (TLS) callbacks are pointers to code initialization and resource release functions. If those pointers are changed by malicious code, execution paths can be redirected to unintended locations. Most modern programming language toolchains protect those memory regions appropriately. These issues are commonly reported for outdated linkers and non-compliant executable packing solutions.

Content identification, unpacking, validation, and classification are some of the steps performed on each analyzed file. The analysis engine may sometimes report file integrity problems while performing unpacking or validation steps. In this case, no content was extracted from the package before an analysis error was encountered. This issue is commonly reported for packages with content that may be incomplete or corrupted. In rare occurrences this issue may indicate a problem with the analysis engine's file format parsing functions.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Open source communities depend on the work of thousands of software developers that volunteer their time to maintain software components. While the majority of open source contributors are altruistic and trustworthy, some software developers have a history of making harmful changes to the projects they maintain. Changes that are considered harmful include destructive and disruptive actions, and other developer behaviors that might cause them to be considered untrustworthy in their community. Code written by these software developers should be put under higher degree of scrutiny, and continuously reviewed for unexpected changes.

Next steps

Investigate reported detections.

You should consider delaying the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.

Consider replacing the software component with an alternative.

Problem

Software components are typically distributed in standardized packaging formats. Software packages are built from instructions written within package manifests that act as blueprints for package assembly. A package manifest declares the most important software properties, such as the package name, its authors and license, external dependencies, and various actions that may occur during the package lifecycle. Package managers are specialized tools used by developers to manage software components. Package managers read these manifests to deploy software components along with their dependencies. The premise of the package management system is that software components are isolated from each other, and that they rely on the package manager to provide their dependencies. However, it was detected that a software component includes code capable of accessing or modifying directories that are maintained exclusively by package managers. This is unusual as it resembles tactics used by threat actors that tamper with installed software components and inject malicious code into trusted execution paths.

Next steps

Investigate reported detections as indicators of software tampering.

Consult Mitre ATT&CK documentation: T1554 - Compromise Host Software Binary.

Consider rewriting the flagged code without using the marked behaviors.
