AlienVault OTX Vulnerabilities

AlienVault OTX Malware

Eleven malicious NuGet packages masquerade as game cheat tools for popular games, acting as first-stage downloaders that evade detection using DNS-over-HTTPS and request UAC elevation. They fetch a second-stage PyInstaller payload named pepesoft.exe from GitHub and Hugging Face, which binds to hardware fingerprints, enforces licensing via Google Sheets telemetry, and supports remote ban-lists. Some variants enable remote control and screenshot capture through Telegram bot commands. These packages share AWS credentials and mutex identifiers, linking them to a single Russian-speaking operator marketing a commercial game-automation service.

This threat involves eleven malicious NuGet packages distributed as .NET command-line tools disguised as game cheats for titles like Albion Online and GTA5RP. Each package acts as a first-stage downloader that uses DNS-over-HTTPS to bypass local network controls and requests UAC elevation to resynchronize system time. They download a second-stage PyInstaller payload named pepesoft.exe from repositories on GitHub and Hugging Face under the username pepegit666. The payload enforces licensing through Google Sheets telemetry, binds to hardware fingerprints, respects remote ban-lists, and in three variants exposes Telegram bot commands for screenshot capture and remote control. All packages share identical AWS credentials and mutex identifiers, indicating a single Russian-speaking operator behind a commercial game-automation service promoted via pepesoft.ru and a Telegram channel.
