KQL Hunting for WinRAR CVE-2023-38831# CVE-2023-38831 - WinRAR File Extension Spoofing Vulnerability
## Description
Cybercriminals have exploited a vulnerability allowing them to spoof file extensions. This means they can hide the launch of malicious scripts within archives pretending to be common file types such as `.jpg`, `.txt`, etc. This vulnerability was reported to both RARLAB and MITRE Corporation, with the latter assigning it the identifier CVE-2023-38831. Notably, the cybercriminals have used ZIP archives to deliver various malware families such as DarkMe, GuLoader, and Remcos RAT.
**Impact**:
- Distributed through specialist forums for traders, 130 traders' devices are currently known to be infected.
- While the total number of infected devices remains uncertain, the cybercriminals have been withdrawing money from broker accounts.
- The cybercriminals are leveraging this vulnerability to distribute tools previously used in the DarkCasino campaign as described by NSFOCUS.
