40 Malicious Firefox Extensions Pose as Web3 Products to Steal Wallet Secrets

Socket found 40 malicious Firefox extensions impersonating OKX, Rabby Wallet, and TronLink to steal cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases and private keys.

The Socket Threat Research team identified 40 malicious Firefox extensions masquerading as Web3 products including OKX, Rabby Wallet, and TronLink, part of a broader set of 77 add-ons sharing source code and infrastructure overlaps. The campaign, dubbed Offside Wallet Theft Factory, has been active since March 2026 and remains unattributed. Of the 40 confirmed malicious extensions, 15 capture recovery phrases and private keys exfiltrated through Cloudflare Workers, 13 modified Rabby Wallet builds exfiltrate serialized keyrings before local encryption, seven use attacker-controlled Supabase projects as remote switches, and five capture credentials and clipboard data via hard-coded C2. Some extensions began as sports score or utility shells before being repurposed into wallet stealers under the same Firefox ID.

Mozilla Revokes Firefox and Thunderbird Linux Signing Key After Key Lands in Private Repo

Mozilla revoked the Firefox and Thunderbird Linux RPM signing subkey after an unencrypted copy landed in a private repo; no unauthorized access found.

Mozilla revoked the OpenPGP signing subkey (fingerprint 09BE ED63 F346 2A2D FFAB 3B87 5ECB 6497 C1A2 0256) used for Firefox and Thunderbird Linux downloads after an unencrypted copy was committed to one of its private repositories, citing reason code 2, 'key material has been compromised.' Audit records showed no sign of unauthorized access, and a replacement subkey (827E 6586 0867 9618 CD34 9F93 678E 455D 7676 7AA3) valid until August 5, 2028 was published. Users who verify signatures manually or install from Mozilla RPM packages may need to import the new key and remove the old one. The rotation came roughly seven months ahead of Mozilla's usual two-year subkey cycle.

Sansec is investigating StyleSmuggler, an actively exploited unauthenticated remote code execution chain in Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce, now tracked as CVE-2026-75650 with CVSS 10.0. Adobe released hotfix VULN-39341 via APSB26-146 (priority 1) on September 7 for versions 2.4.4 through 2.4.9, but stores were being exploited for roughly three days before the fix existed. The implant is a Rust backdoor that disguises itself as kworker, fc-cache, or chronyd processes and exfiltrates host data in MessagePack records sent as fake NTP replies over UDP port 123. Adobe advises rotating the encryption key and every credential it protected, and Sansec stresses patching does not clean already-compromised stores.

Malware bypasses browser checks to force install Chrome, Edge extensions

Elastic Security Labs detailed KREMLIN, a Brazilian banking malware that silently installs malicious Chrome and Edge extensions, with 1,515 confirmed infections.

Elastic Security Labs analyzed KREMLIN, a toolkit used by a Brazilian operation in at least seven campaigns since May 2025 that impersonates 12 banks to trick users into opening a JavaScript file disguised as a bank receipt or invoice. After anti-sandbox checks, it downloads Node.js, persists via a scheduled task, and fetches payload locations from an Ethereum smart contract, hiding payloads in JPEG images on Internet Archive. The toolkit bypasses Chromium integrity mechanisms to install unapproved Chrome/Edge extensions masquerading as AVSync that steal cookies, keylog form input, capture screenshots, and intercept HTTP traffic, while recent campaigns deployed the REMCOS RAT and earlier ones Pulsar RAT. Elastic confirmed 1,515 infected systems, almost all in Brazil, and disrupted the campaign by registering an anti-sandbox canary domain; the linked wallet handled roughly 20,800 USDT incoming and 19,000 USDT outgoing.

Google’s New Search Redirects Make It Harder to Check Where Links Lead Before Clicking

Malwarebytes reports Google's new encoded google.com/goto?url= redirects break hover-preview link checking, weakening a common phishing defense.

Google now routes some search results through opaque google.com/goto?url= redirects using custom encoding, so browser link previews no longer reveal the true destination, only the claimed label above the result. Malwarebytes found the final destination is visible only in the redirect response's Location header, complicating hover-based safety checks as well as scraping, archiving, and audit tools. The change arrives amid malvertising, search-result poisoning, and fake installer campaigns like the recent Node.js infostealer lure. Google says it deploys measures against evolving abuse but did not explain the change.

Unpatched Magento and Adobe Commerce Zero-Day Exploited to Backdoor Online Stores

Sansec reports active exploitation of an unpatched zero-day, dubbed StyleSmuggler, in Magento and Adobe Commerce, letting attackers backdoor online store servers without authentication.

Sansec disclosed on September 5 that attackers are exploiting an unpatched vulnerability, named StyleSmuggler, in Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution, with attacks observed starting September 4. All current versions including 2.4.9 are affected, and Adobe has published no advisory, CVE, patch, or workaround, with the next scheduled security release on September 8. Hosting firm Disrex Group independently confirmed two compromised stores (running 2.4.8 and 2.4.7-p2), both breached within the roughly eight-hour window before Sansec's blocking rules went live. The implant is a ~1.9 MB statically linked Rust binary disguised as a Linux kworker process, re-adding a cron entry every five minutes and in one case reading Magento sessions directly from Redis with no outbound traffic.

27.5KB language-agnostic WebGPU syntax highlighter

A developer released gpu-lexer, a 27.5KB language-agnostic syntax highlighter that uses a tiny WebGPU model to label code tokens in the browser.

gpu-lexer splits source into words, whitespace, and symbols, then a small WebGPU model uses local and whole-file context to assign nine token classes, working on languages never seen in training. On held-out files, 12.57% of token labels differ from Shiki, though this measures agreement with Shiki rather than objective correctness. In benchmarks against Shiki 4.4.3, Prism.js, Highlight.js, Sugar High, and Starry Night, it highlighted 10 concatenated copies of three.min.js (5.56M characters) about 10x faster on an Apple M4 Pro in Chrome 152.
