Just checking in on all the MSMQ vulnerabilities in 2023 including #QueueJumper - from honeypots, I didn’t see a single exploitation attempt, just scanning.
There also still isn’t a proof of concept exploit that reaches remote code execution still. #threatintel
Four months passed since the publication of #MSMQ #QueueJumper.
Has anyone seen any in-the-wild exploitation yet?
Pretty funny easy query to know if #QueueJumper request is internet scanning or malicious - filters out internet scanning. A month since publication, I haven't seen any in the wild exploitation (even just crashing the service, which is ridiculously easy).

MDE AHQ for exploitation: https://github.com/GossiTheDog/ThreatHunting/blob/master/AdvancedHuntingQueries/QueueJumper.ahq
Accidentally deleted my #QueueJumper toots, but so far no sign of any in the wild exploitation, no technical write up and no public exploit. Monitoring with real world MSMQ, all quiet too.
Credits to CheckPoint for not providing exploitation details, has given orgs time to patch. Also kudos to not branding it a “cyber pandemic” this time.
It's been a heck of a week, with tonnes of great research and tooling that I'm sure you're going to get a kick out of - check out our wrap-up for all the news!:

Kaspersky researchers shone a light on the Dark Web trade in Google Play Loaders - a service to help inject malware into legitimate, and supposedly vetted apps, with guarantees of >1 week up-time and the option to boost your spread with targeted Ads.
#Nokoyawa ransomware have clearly got some talent on their team, having abused a #CLFS 0-day prior to Microsoft patching it last week - one of 5 different exploits they've used, mind you - and they appear to have a new, distinct ransomware strain in rotation, too.
There's heaps more great threat reporting, including a report that #FIN7 and former #Conti (#FIN12/#WizardSpider) members are collaborating on a new backdoor, and a crypto-mining campaign that may be the canary in the coal mine, indicating broader uptake of BYOVD and IPFS by low-level operators.
The #QueueJumper vulnerability from last week looks primed to explode in coming days, with a no-fix vulnerability in Microsoft Intune capping off a lousy week for Windows admins struggling to keep their networks secure.
TOOLING. Ooooh boy, this was a good week for tooling and tradecraft, ladies and gentlemen.
The #redteam have a new port of the SharpHound AD enumeration tool for Cobalt Strike; a great reference piece on leveraging stolen Office tokens to bypass MFA and access cloud workloads, and a list of keywords to avoid when crafting stealthy PowerShell scripts.
The #blueteam have a script to help tweak VM settings to circumvent malware anti-analysis checks; Procmon for macOS, and a lightweight bastion host to help redirect and record traffic sent to honeypots in your network.
This was a fun one to write up, with heaps of interesting reads and takeaways to be had. Get amongst it!

Still all quiet on the western front when it comes to #QueueJumper. Had one connection that didn't appear to be an obvious (known) security researcher, from 216.250.119.94 - but benign.
btw Shodan has the best scanning hostnames
