This video demonstration shows how the SentinelOne Singularity XDR Platforms detects and mitigates the xz backdoor (CVE-2024-3094), a critical vulnerability discovered on March 29, 2024. Affecting the xz compression libraries widely used across Linux distributions, this vulnerability highlights the sophisticated methods employed by threat actors to exploit open-source software (OSS) supply chains.
The backdoor code, designed to target specific Linux distributions such as Debian and Fedora, was distributed across all rolling distributions. These distributions are particularly vulnerable as they patch their SSH daemon with liblzma, making them prime targets for this attack. The operation included system checks to ensure that the malicious object files were injected exclusively into Debian and Fedora distributions.
Despite the common belief that open-source software is inherently secure due to its open nature and the scrutiny it undergoes from the global developer community, this incident proves that vulnerabilities can still be exploited. The attackers leveraged gaps in the reputation process and the lack of audits on released tarballs, revealing a calculated intention to introduce additional backdoors and maintain prolonged access to the repository.
