Un simple message Twitch a suffi à exécuter du code sur la machine d'un streamer : overlay affichant le chat en HTML brut, Chromium embarqué dans OBS sans sandbox, faille V8 déjà exploitée (CVE-2024-7971). ⬇️ https://t.co/yFbA3Buauy
Multiple Chinese APT groups coordinated deployment of the BlueMoon exploit kit, chaining three zero-days (CVE-2024-7971, CVE-2024-8198, CVE-2024-38063) for browser compromise and Windows privilege escalation. Post-compromise lateral movement across targeted aerospace and defense networks highlights the value of runtime segmentation to contain multi-stage breach chains. #ZeroDay #ThreatIntel 🔗 Full TRC analysis: https://aviatrix.ai/threat-research-center/bluemoon-exploit-kit-chrome-windows-zero-days-2026
