BEHIND THE CAPTCHA: A CLEVER GATEWAY OF MALWARE
McAfee Labs
Sep 20, 2024
8 MIN READ
Authored by Yashvi Shah and Aayush Tyagi
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
McAfee Labs recently observed an infection chain where fake CAPTCHA pages are
being leveraged to distribute malware, specifically Lumma Stealer. We are
observing a campaign targeting multiple countries. Below is a map showing the
geolocation of devices accessing fake CAPTCHA URLs, highlighting the global
distribution of the attack.
Figure 1: Prevalence on the field
We identified two infection vectors leading users to these fake CAPTCHA pages:
one via cracked game download URLs, and the other through phishing emails.
GitHub users have been targeted by phishing emails prompting them to address a
fictitious “security vulnerability” in a project repository to which they have
contributed or subscribed. These emails direct users to visit
“github-scanner[.]com” for further information about the alleged security issue.
The ClickFix infection chain operates by deceiving users into clicking on
buttons like “Verify you are a human” or “I am not a robot.” Once clicked, a
malicious script is copied to the user’s clipboard. Users are then misled into
pasting the script after pressing the Windows key + R, unknowingly executing the
malware. This method of trickery facilitates the infection process, making it
easy for attackers to deploy malware.
Figure 2: Infection chain
ATTACK VECTORS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
As illustrated in the diagram, users are redirected to fake CAPTCHA pages
through two main attack vectors:
1. CRACKED GAMING SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD URLS:
Users attempting to download pirated or cracked versions of gaming software are
redirected to malicious CAPTCHA pages.
Figure 3: Search to download the cracked version of the game
When users search the Internet for free or cracked versions of popular video
games, they may encounter online forums, community posts, or public repositories
that redirect them to malicious links.
Figure 4: Runkit directing the user to download the game
In this instance, a public Runkit notebook hosts the malicious link (highlighted
in blue). When the user accesses the URL (highlighted in red), they are
redirected to fake CAPTCHA websites.
Figure 5: Redirection happening while accessing the link
On this page, after the user clicks the “I’m not a robot” button, a malicious
PowerShell script is copied to their clipboard, and they are prompted to execute
it.
Figure 6: Backend script on the click button
The website includes JavaScript functionality that copies the script to the
clipboard.
Figure 7: Decoded script
The script is Base64-encoded (highlighted in blue), to reduce the readability to
the user. Upon decoding it (highlighted in red), mshta was found to be
leveraged. The file hosted at https://verif.dlvideosfre[.]click/2ndhsoru
contains a Windows binary, having scripts appended as the overlay. Without the
overlay appended, the file is a clean Windows binary.
Figure 8: Windows binary with appended script
The mshta utility searches for the <script> tag within a file and executes the
script embedded in it, completely ignoring the binary portion of the file. This
allows attackers to embed malicious scripts alongside non-executable content,
making it easier for the malware to go undetected while still being executed
through mshta.
Figure 9: Obfuscated script appended in the downloaded file
Upon analysis, the script was found to be an encrypted JavaScript file,
utilizing two layers of encryption. This multi-level encryption obscures the
script’s true functionality, making detection and analysis more challenging for
security tools. Further analysis revealed that the decrypted JavaScript was
designed to download Lumma Stealer using AES-encrypted PowerShell command and
drop it in the Temp folder. This technique helps the malware avoid detection by
placing the payload in a commonly used, less scrutinized directory, facilitating
the next stage of the infection.
Figure 10: Process tree
2. PHISHING EMAILS IMPERSONATING THE GITHUB TEAM
In the second vector, users receive phishing emails, often targeting GitHub
contributors, urging them to address a fake “security vulnerability.” These
emails contain links leading to the same fake CAPTCHA pages.
Figure 11: Phishing email impersonating GitHub
Once the user clicks on the link, they’re redirected to the fake captcha pages.
Figure 12: Fake CAPTCHA page
These pages use the same technique: the malicious script is copied to the
clipboard when the user clicks the button, and they are then prompted to execute
it.
Figure 13: Script copied onto clipboard
This script retrieves and executes the contents of a text file hosted on an
online server.
Figure 14: Invoking the remote script
The content of the text file contains PowerShell commands that download an
executable file or a zip file. These files are saved into the temp folder and
then executed. The downloaded files, in these cases, are Lumma Stealer samples.
DETECTION AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES
McAfee blocks this infection chain at multiple stages:
1. URL blocking of the fake CAPTCHA pages.
Figure 15: McAfee blocking URLs
2. Heuristic blocking of malicious use of mshta.
Figure 16: McAfee blocking the malicious behavior
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In conclusion, the ClickFix infection chain demonstrates how cybercriminals
exploit common user behaviors—such as downloading cracked software and
responding to phishing emails—to distribute malware like Lumma Stealer. By
leveraging fake CAPTCHA pages, attackers deceive users into executing malicious
scripts that bypass detection, ultimately leading to malware installation.
The infection chain operates through two main vectors: cracked gaming software
download URLs and phishing emails impersonating GitHub. In both cases, users are
redirected to malicious CAPTCHA pages where scripts are executed to download and
install malware. The use of multi-layered encryption further complicates
detection and analysis, making these attacks more sophisticated and harder to
prevent.
At McAfee Labs, we are committed to helping organizations protect themselves
against sophisticated cyber threats, such as the Clickfix social engineering
technique. Here are our recommended mitigations and remediations:
1. Conduct regular training sessions to educate users about social engineering
tactics and phishing schemes.
2. Install and maintain updated antivirus and anti-malware software on all
endpoints.
3. Implement robust email filtering to block phishing emails and malicious
attachments.
4. Use network segmentation to limit the spread of malware within the
organization.
5. Ensure all operating systems, software, and applications are kept up to
date with the latest security patches.
6. Avoid downloading cracked software or visiting suspicious websites.
7. Verify URLs in emails, especially from unknown or unexpected sources.
8. Restrict clipboard-based scripts and disable automatic script execution.
9. Keep antivirus solutions updated and actively scan.
10. Educate users to avoid suspicious CAPTCHA prompts on untrusted sites.
11. Regularly patch browsers, operating systems, and applications.
12. Monitor the Temp folder for unusual or suspicious files.
