Evasive Clickfix Injection Delivers a Rat Hidden in Image Files

    Date: 06/08/2026

    Severity: High

    Summary

    A multi-step ClickFix attack was detected using brand squatting, clipboard decoys, and multi-stage payloads disguised as logs or images. The threat actor registered lirunex[.]tech, mimicking the legitimate payment platform lirnunex.com, and launched an evasive attack. Multi-stage payloads ultimately delivered a cross-platform RAT hidden as image files. When victims paste what they believe is an SSL certificate path, the attacker silently replaces it via the clipboard, executing the first stage with conhost --headless. This acts as a two-stage dropper for the RAT. The site cloaks itself from non-targets by showing a Swagger UI clone of the legitimate Lirunex API, controlled server-side.
