Technical Analysis

On November 8, 2023, SysAid, an IT service management company, revealed a zero-day path traversal vulnerability, CVE-2023-47426, impacting on-premise SysAid servers. Microsoft’s threat intelligence team, the discoverers of this vulnerability, reported its exploitation in the wild by DEV-0950 (Lace Tempest) through “limited attacks.”

Microsoft, in a social media thread on the evening of November 8, underscored that Lace Tempest is associated with the distribution of Cl0p ransomware and highlighted the likelihood of ransomware deployment and/or data exfiltration when exploiting CVE-2023-47246. It’s worth noting that Lace Tempest was also responsible for the MOVEit Transfer and GoAnywhere MFT extortion attacks earlier this year.
