CVE-2024-38112: Void Banshee Targets Windows Users Through Zombie Internet Explorer in Zero-Day Attacks


Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) discovered the MHTML remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability CVE-2024-38112. Trend Micro researchers immediately alerted Microsoft of this vulnerability being used in–the-wild as ZDI-CAN-24433.

CVE-2024-38112 was used as part of an attack chain by the advanced persistent threat (APT) group Void Banshee, which targets North American, European, and Southeast Asian regions for information theft and financial gain. The final payload of this zero-day attack chain is the Atlantida stealer, which was first discovered in January 2024. Variations of the Atlantida campaign have been highly active throughout 2024 and have evolved to use CVE-2024-38112 as part of Void Banshee infection chains.
