Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

filename.webarchive
  • Monitor for Safari processes navigating to file:// scheme URLs from a web-browsing context (non-local origin), which is anomalous and indicative of Same Origin Policy bypass exploitation.
  • Detect delivery or loading of .webarchive files from remote/untrusted sources, as the exploit chain relies on dropping and loading a malicious .webarchive file to achieve code execution and file read.
  • Alert on silent Safari extension installations not initiated by the user, as the exploit can silently install Safari extensions as a post-exploitation action.
  • ·Vulnerable versions are Safari before 6.2.6, 7.x before 7.1.6, and 8.x before 8.0.6; the exploit is also applicable to iOS before 8.4. Detections should be scoped to these unpatched versions.
  • ·The Metasploit module is classified as an auxiliary/gather module, meaning it is primarily used for information gathering (arbitrary file read) but can also be chained for cross-domain JS injection and extension installation.
