Threats tagged 'ncryptyo'

A NuGet supply chain attack involving four malicious packages targeting ASP.NET web application developers has been discovered. The campaign deploys a multi-stage payload where NCryptYo acts as a dropper, establishing a local proxy, while companion packages exfiltrate ASP.NET Identity data and accept threat actor-controlled authorization rules, creating backdoors in victim applications. The packages, published between August 12-21, 2024, have accumulated over 4,500 downloads. The attack uses obfuscation, JIT compiler manipulation, and a two-stage architecture to evade detection. The campaign's objective is to compromise applications during development, gaining access to deployed production instances by controlling the authorization layer.
