• Check Point Research discovered a new technique taking advantage of Godot Engine, a popular open-source game engine, to execute crafted GDScript, code which triggers malicious commands and delivers malware. The technique remains undetected by almost all antivirus engines in VirusTotal.
• Check Point identified GodLoader, a loader that employs this new technique. The threat actor behind this malware has been utilizing it since June 29, 2024, infecting over 17,000 machines
• The malicious GodLoader is distributed by the Stargazers Ghost Network, a GitHub network that distributes malware as a service. Throughout September and October, approximately 200 repositories and over 225 Stargazers were used to legitimize the repositories distributing the malware.
• This new technique allows threat actors to target and infect devices across multiple platforms, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
• Check Point Research demonstrates how this multi-platform technique can successfully drop payloads in Linux and MacOS.
• A potential attack can target over 1.2 million users of Godot-developed games. These scenarios involve taking advantage of legitimate Godot executables to load malicious scripts in the form of mods or other downloadable content.

We often trust our security software to stand as an unbreakable wall against malware and attacks, but what happens when that very wall is weaponized against us?

Instead of bypassing defenses, this malware takes a more sinister route: it drops a legitimate Avast Anti-Rootkit driver (aswArPot.sys) and manipulates it to carry out its destructive agenda. The malware exploits the deep access provided by the driver to terminate security processes, disable protective software, and seize control of the infected system.
