ClickFix Smuggles Payloads Through Browser Cache to Bypass Windows Run Limits
ClickFix attackers are using compromised websites to trick users into executing malicious scripts that have been pre-fetched into the browser cache and disguised as image files. This technique bypasses typical Windows run limits by avoiding direct remote payload downloads, according to Microsoft Threat Intelligence.
Why it matters: Users visiting compromised sites face execution of malicious code through browser cache without detecting a download, making detection and endpoint protection more difficult; organizations should educate users to avoid executing scripts from untrusted websites and monitor browser cache activity.
