Dozens of Malicious Wallpapers Found on Steam Workshop: Gamers Accounts at Risk

    Date: 06/17/2026

    Severity: High

    Summary

    Researchers discovered dozens of malicious wallpapers on Steam Workshop that abused Wallpaper Engine's Application Wallpaper feature to execute malware on users' PCs. The campaign distributed threats such as DarkKomet backdoors, Lumma and Vidar infostealers, crypto miners, and other credential-stealing malware. Some infected wallpapers accumulated thousands of downloads before being removed. The malware primarily targeted Steam accounts, stealing credentials and session data. The incident highlights that content from trusted platforms can still be dangerous when it is capable of running executable code.
