The slight snag here is that the free version of the program does not include an auto-update function, so users will have to manually download the updated version.

It is also important to note that while previous versions of the CCleaner installer are currently still available on the download server, the version containing the malicious payloads has been removed and is no longer available.īoth Piriform and Talos advise CCleaner users to ensure that they update to version 5.34 of the program.

It is also possible that an insider with access to either the development or build environments within the organization intentionally included the malicious code or could have had an account (or similar) compromised which allowed an attacker to include the code.

Given the presence of this compilation artifact as well as the fact that the binary was digitally signed using a valid certificate issued to the software developer, it is likely that an external attacker compromised a portion of their development or build environment and leveraged that access to insert malware into the CCleaner build that was released and hosted by the organization.

Only the incident response process can provide details regarding the scope of this issue and how to best address it. When generating a new cert care must be taken to ensure attackers have no foothold within the environment with which to compromise the new certificate. Ideally this certificate should be revoked and untrusted moving forward. The presence of a valid digital signature on the malicious CCleaner binary may be indicative of a larger issue that resulted in portions of the development or signing process being compromised. Talos provides a little insight into possible scenarios: He goes on to provide a technical description of the compromise, and says: "we don't want to speculate how the unauthorized code appeared in the CCleaner software, where the attack originated from, how long it was being prepared and who stood behind it." In other words, to the best of our knowledge, we were able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm. Users of CCleaner Cloud version have received an automatic update. Before delving into the technical details, let me say that the threat has now been resolved in the sense that the rogue server is down, other potential servers are out of the control of the attacker, and we’re moving all existing CCleaner v users to the latest version. We also immediately contacted law enforcement units and worked with them on resolving the issue.

Based on further analysis, we found that the version of CCleaner and the version of CCleaner Cloud was illegally modified before it was released to the public, and we started an investigation process. A suspicious activity was identified on September 12th, 2017, where we saw an unknown IP address receiving data from software found in version of CCleaner, and CCleaner Cloud version, on 32-bit Windows systems. We would like to apologize for a security incident that we have recently found in CCleaner version and CCleaner Cloud version. In a statement on the site, vice president Paul Yung says: While Talos says that a large number of computers were put at risk, Piriform thinks otherwise. The affected version was released back on 15 August, and it was signed using a valid certificate issued to Piriform Ltd by Symantec which was valid until October next year. Investigations by Talos revealed that the compromised version of the software had been available for download from the CCleaner server since 11 September, although an updated, non-compromised version was released a day later.
