Kematian-Stealer is actively being developed and distributed as an open-source tool on GitHub. Our investigation revealed that the stealer’s source code, related scripts, and a builder for generating malicious binaries are hosted under the GitHub account “Somali-Devs.” Significant contributions from the user KDot227 suggest a close link between this account and the development of the stealer. These scripts and stealer are designed to covertly extract sensitive data from unsuspecting users and organizations.
Since May 26, 2024, Phylum has been monitoring a persistent supply chain attacker involving a trojanized version of jQuery.

The Akamai Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) has been monitoring activity surrounding CVE-2024-4577, a PHP vulnerability that affects installations running CGI mode that was disclosed in June 2024.
The vulnerability primarily affects Windows installations using Chinese and Japanese language locales, but it is possible that the vulnerability applies to a wider range of installations.
As early as one day after disclosure, the SIRT observed numerous exploit attempts to abuse this vulnerability, indicating high exploitability and quick adoption by threat actors.
The exploitations include command injection and multiple malware campaigns: Gh0st RAT, RedTail cryptominers, and XMRig.
Akamai App & API Protector has been automatically mitigating exploits that target our customers.

In recent months, a surge in cryptodrainer phishing attacks has been observed, targeting cryptocurrency holders with sophisticated schemes aimed at tricking them into divulging their valuable credentials.
Check Point Research recently discovered that threat actors have been using novel (or previously unknown) tricks to lure Windows users for remote code execution. Specifically, the attackers used special Windows Internet Shortcut files (.url extension name), which, when clicked, would call the retired Internet Explorer (IE) to visit the attacker-controlled URL. An additional trick on IE is used to hide the malicious .hta extension name. By opening the URL with IE instead of the modern and much more secure Chrome/Edge browser on Windows, the attacker gained significant advantages in exploiting the victim’s computer, although the computer is running the modern Windows 10/11 operating system.
