JSGuLdr: Multi-Stage Loader Delivering PhantomStealer

#ANYRUN researchers identified #JSGuLdr, a multi-stage JavaScript-to-PowerShell loader used to deliver #PhantomStealer. A JScript file triggers PowerShell through an Explorer COM call, pulls the second stage from %APPDATA%\Registreri62, then uses Net.WebClient to fetch an encrypted payload from Google Drive into %APPDATA%\Autorise131[.]Tel. The payload is decoded in memory and loaded, with PhantomStealerinjected into msiexec.exe.

Execution chain: wscript.exe ➡️ explorer.exe (svchost.exe) ➡️ explorer.exe (COM) ➡️ powershell.exe ➡️ msiexec.exe

🚨 Hackers are exploiting a 2-year-old authentication flaw (CVE-2023-48022) in the Ray AI framework to take over NVIDIA GPU clusters and run a self-spreading crypto-mining botnet called ShadowRay 2.0.

The bug remains unpatched by design, and over 230,000 Ray servers are exposed online.

🚨 Grafana fixed a major security bug (CVSS 10.0) that could let attackers sign in as admin users.

It affects Grafana Enterprise 12.0.0–12.2.1 if SCIM provisioning is turned on — a number like “1” could trick the system into giving admin access.

Update now to stay safe. Read more ↓ https://thehackernews.com/2025/11/grafana-patches-cvss-100-scim-flaw.html

🚨 CISA warns Oracle Identity Manager flaw (CVE-2025-61757) is under active attack.

🔴 Researchers say China’s DeepSeek-R1 AI writes weaker code when asked about topics like Tibet or Uyghurs.

Coding mistakes go up by about 50%, even when the topic isn’t part of the task.

This bias could be a new security risk.
