SVG Smuggling - Image Embedded JavaScript Redirect Attacks

Threat actors are increasingly using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files to deliver JavaScript-based redirect attacks. These SVGs contain embedded, obfuscated JavaScript that initiates browser redirects to attacker-controlled infrastructure. The campaign uses email spoofing and impersonation to deliver the SVGs, bypassing traditional file-based detection. The embedded code uses XOR encryption and reconstructs the redirect command at runtime. The attack targets B2B Service Providers, including those handling corporate financial and employee data. Mitigation strategies include implementing DMARC policies, blocking SVG attachments, and enhancing email security measures. The campaign demonstrates a shift towards smuggling techniques that avoid triggering traditional security alerts.

Davvero sono sconvolto sul bordello assurdo che tocca fare ogni anno per far girare su #Linux la specifica macchina virtuale #Java (#JAVAWS) che serve per far girare l'applicazione di turno, vedi #SOGEI e la sua MONDEZZA di software vergognosa

E' una cosa pazzesca, folle, incredibile

Ma cosa si fa ancora oggi, nel 2025, a distribuire software in questo modo?

E' INCIVILE
