Cavern C2 Uses DNS and Google Apps Script to Blend Into Legitimate Traffic
Iranian nation-state actors linked to Cavern (aka Cav3rn) C2 framework have evolved their infrastructure to blend malicious traffic with legitimate services, using DNS A-record queries to dynamically switch between direct HTTPS and Google Apps Script relays for command-and-control. A new module, HOLLOWGRAPH, abuses Microsoft 365 calendars via the Graph API to exfiltrate data and receive commands, with events scheduled far into the future to avoid detection. The framework uses a modular architecture with components like GoogleService.dll and rnp.dll, leveraging legitimate cloud services to evade perimeter defenses and maintain persistence.
