Techniques & procedures

8 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Reconnaissance

2 techniques
T1590Gather Victim Network InformationEvidence1

They were also identifying Aura instances by scanning the internet for the /s/sfsites/ endpoint.

T1595Active ScanningEvidence4

hackers are using AuraInspector in attempts to breach companies... misusing the AuraInspector open-source tool to automate vulnerability scans across Salesforce environments... used "to perform mass scanning of public-facing Experience Cloud sites."

Initial Access

2 techniques
T1078Valid AccountsEvidence1

Since Guest User profiles are misconfigured with API access enabled, unauthenticated requests to /s/sfsites/aura endpoint, can query internal CRM records.

T1190Exploit Public-Facing ApplicationEvidence7

hackers are targeting websites with misconfigured Experience Cloud platforms that give guest users access to more data than intended... If the profile is misconfigured and has excessive permissions, visitors can "directly query Salesforce CRM objects without logging in."

Persistence

1 technique
T1078Valid AccountsEvidence1
