Critical Triofox Bug Exploited for Malicious Payloads

Hackers exploited a critical Triofox flaw, CVE-2025-12480, to bypass authentication and install remote access tools via the platform’s antivirus feature. Google’s Mandiant researchers spotted the threat actors exploiting the vulnerability, which allowed them to upload and run remote access tools. The attackers used a newly created admin account to execute malicious scripts with SYSTEM privileges, deploying tools like Zoho Assist and AnyDesk for remote access. Mandiant recommends upgrading to the latest Triofox release and auditing admin accounts to mitigate the risk.
