Slow Mist Discovers Fake Qwen Model GitHub Repository
The Slow Mist security team recently discovered a malicious GitHub repository impersonating the "Qwen 3.8 27B Local Quantitative Model." The repository claims that the model files exceed 16GB, but the actual downloaded content is only about 487KB, containing disguised files, a LuaJIT interpreter, and obfuscated Lua scripts. Slow Mist emphasizes that the official Qwen project has not been compromised. Once executed, the malicious program collects host information, takes screenshots, and sends them to the attacker's C2 server; when the hardcoded server fails, it will read a backup C2 address from contracts on the Polygon chain. Subsequent payloads can steal browser login information, cookies, history, emails, WinSCP, Steam credentials, as well as files and extension data related to cryptocurrency wallets. Slow Mist also found at least 23 GitHub repositories and 29 similar compressed packages using the same Lua delivery chain.
