About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about malicious payloads cover a range of active threats, including zero-day exploits in Microsoft SharePoint Server (CVE-2025-53770) that deploy malicious ASPX payloads for remote code execution. Other topics include the FileFix attack, which abuses the Windows clipboard to bypass defenses, and multi-platform web shell attacks exploiting file upload flaws on Windows and Linux servers. The Pure Crypter malware loader is highlighted for evading Windows 11 24H2 protections to deliver information stealers. Additionally, the North Korean BlueNoroff group uses deepfakes and macOS malware in sophisticated campaigns. These threads provide insights into how malicious payloads are delivered and executed across different environments.
A critical zero-day vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-53770, has been actively exploited in Microsoft's on-premises SharePoint Server, compromising approximately 100 organizations globally. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute remote code, granting them full control over...
