A recent malware campaign has been identified distributing the XLoader malware through the DLL side-loading technique. This strategy leverages a legitimate application associated with the Eclipse Foundation to execute malicious code covertly.
According to the AhnLab Security Intelligence Center (ASEC), the application used in this attack is jarsigner, a file generated during the installation of the IDE package distributed by the Eclipse Foundation. By exploiting this legitimate component, attackers manage to evade security mechanisms and execute their malicious payload without raising suspicion.
