Summary

Hide ▲

A Russian-linked campaign is distributing StealC V2 through malicious .blend files on 3D model marketplaces and putting Blender users at risk of credential theft. The operation abuses Blender's Auto Run feature and embedded Python code to pull a loader, PowerShell, and ZIP payloads that stage the stealer. The latest variant expands coverage to 23+ browsers, 100+ cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions, and 15+ wallet apps, raising the odds of account and wallet compromise.

    Russian-linked campaign delivers StealC V2 through malicious Blender files

    Initial Disclosure

    Morphisec observed a Russian-linked campaign delivering StealC V2 through malicious .blend files uploaded to 3D model marketplaces like CGTrader by abusing Blender's Auto Run and embedded Python code. The delivery chain uses a Cloudflare Workers domain to fetch a malware loader, then a PowerShell script that retrieves the ZIP archives ZalypaGyliveraV1 and BLENDERX from attacker-controlled IPs, drops LNK files in the Startup directory for persistence, and installs StealC plus an auxiliary Python stealer. The latest StealC variant expands exfiltration to 23+ browsers, 100+ cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions, 15+ cryptocurrency wallet apps, Telegram, Discord, Tox, Pidgin, ProtonVPN, OpenVPN, and Thunderbird, and Morphisec says no security engine on VirusTotal detected the analyzed sample.
