GootLoader, operated by the threat group UNC2565 (also known as Storm-0494), has resurfaced with advanced techniques to exploit search-driven workflows. This malware loader is central to a sophisticated Access-as-a-Service platform that facilitates initial access for ransomware affiliates, including Vanilla Tempest, and leverages SEO poisoning to attract users searching for business document templates. A notable attack technique involves the use of a dual-personality ZIP archive. This archive is engineered to deceive security sandboxes by appearing harmless while extracting a malicious .js file for human users. Upon execution, usually triggered by the user double-clicking the JScript file, the payload launches through Windows Script Host, specifically WScript.exe or CScript.exe, which in turn invokes PowerShell to retrieve subsequent malicious payloads.
