macOS.Gaslight | Rust Backdoor Turns Prompt Injection on the Analyst, Not the Sandbox
SentinelLABS analyzed macOS.Gaslight, a Rust macOS implant tied to DPRK-aligned activity that combines Telegram-based command and control, AES-GCM encryption, certificate-pinned TLS, and a bundled Python stealer. The sample also includes a 3.5 KB prompt-injection payload with 38 fabricated system messages designed to derail LLM-assisted triage and hide its malicious behavior. #macOSGaslight #BONZAI #AIRPIPE #Telegram #AppleXProtect
