UAT-10147: Chinese-speaking adversary integrates agentic AI into post-compromise operations

Cisco Talos identified a Chinese-speaking threat actor, UAT-10147, conducting a global campaign targeting Windows and Linux web servers in government, education, media, technology, and gaming sectors. The actor leverages publicly disclosed vulnerabilities for initial access, including CVE-2022-27925, CVE-2021-23758, and CVE-2019-18935, and uses AI-driven tooling to automate exploitation, reconnaissance, payload generation, and validation. Post-compromise, the actor deploys malware such as QuasarRAT, Gh0stCringe, and SPECTRE, establishes persistence via scheduled tasks and rogue user accounts, and uses AI-generated scripts to refine attacks and bypass defenses. A misconfigured command-and-control server at 139.180.197[.]150 exposed operational details, including a target list of 170,000 URLs and AI-assisted attack workflows.
