TerminalFix ClickFix variant lures users into running PowerShell via fake CAPTCHA
- Engineer — Learn: No patchable CVE — this is a user-execution social engineering chain. Evaluate whether your environment enforces PowerShell Constrained Language Mode or WDAC policies that would limit blast radius if a user runs attacker-supplied terminal commands.
- SOC/IR — Plan: Build or tune detections for PowerShell processes spawned from browser-related parent processes, and alert on known reverse-tunnel binaries (chisel, ngrok, etc.); the ClickFix TTP pattern is well-documented and Sigma rules exist to template from.
- Leader — Learn: Active campaign exploiting user behavior rather than software flaws; useful context for refreshing security awareness training around CAPTCHA-themed lures, but no board-level action is warranted without wider impact data.
