SeroXen is a potent malware that has been discovered in malicious NuGet packages, infecting developer systems. The Remote Access Trojan (RAT) was first identified by the DevSecOps company Phylum and is being delivered through typosquatted NuGet packages. Additionally, SeroXen has been found to target gamers, as reported by HackRead, revealing a broad attack surface that encompasses both developers and end-users. The malware utilizes the BatCloak engine as its main loading mechanism, as discussed in a three-part series on BatCloak and SeroXen. The third part of this series delves into the distribution mechanism of SeroXen and BatCloak, highlighting the security implications of Fully Undetectable (FUD) batch obfuscation. This FUD capability, achieved through complex obfuscation patterns, has seen multilayered evolution in SeroXen, with notable predecessors such as Jlaive, BatCloak, CryBat, Exe2Bat, and ScrubCrypt playing a significant role in its development. The developers of these predecessor software were acknowledged on the SeroXen website, indicating their involvement in SeroXen's development. In response to the threat posed by SeroXen and BatCloak, organizations are advised to employ a cutting-edge, multilayered defensive strategy and comprehensive security solutions like Trend Micro™ XDR. These tools can detect, scan, and block malicious content across the modern threat landscape, thereby mitigating the risk of infection from these sophisticated malware strains. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, staying ahead of threats like SeroXen becomes increasingly crucial.
