    ShinyHunters uses WAF bypass trick in Oracle PeopleSoft attacks

    The ShinyHunters extortion group is actively exploiting Oracle PeopleSoft systems using a URL-encoding technique to bypass web application firewall (WAF) protections. The bypass circumvents mitigations for CVE-2026-35273, allowing attackers to resume widespread exploitation of vulnerable servers. This technique enables the threat actors to evade defensive controls that organizations may have deployed as a temporary fix while awaiting patching. The campaign highlights the risk of relying solely on WAF rules as a compensating control for known vulnerabilities. Organizations running Oracle PeopleSoft are urged to apply official patches immediately rather than depending on WAF-based mitigations. ShinyHunters is a well-known financially motivated threat actor with a history of large-scale data theft and extortion operations.

    Lunex Stealer Abuses AMD Driver to Disable Security Monitoring and Steal Browser Credentials

    Lunex is a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform that distributes a component called Psychedelic Stealer through compromised Ukrainian websites. The attack uses ClickFix-style fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA verification pages to trick Ukrainian-speaking users into executing malware. Researchers at Ontinue identified a four-stage attack chain beginning with the fake CAPTCHA page. The malware abuses an AMD driver to disable security monitoring tools, allowing it to operate undetected. Once active, Lunex Stealer harvests browser credentials and other sensitive data. The campaign specifically targets Ukrainian-speaking users, suggesting a geopolitical motivation. The use of legitimate driver abuse (BYOVD technique) indicates a technically sophisticated threat actor. The MaaS model suggests the tooling is available to multiple threat actors beyond the original developers.
