RedExt is an open-source browser-extension framework for browser-data analysis, red-team operations, and command-and-control. It has been identified as a foundational framework for the PEEP Chromium browser post-exploitation toolkit, which adds installation, persistence, native-host interaction, telemetry, update, and expanded command functionality. RedExt has also been leveraged by Russian-speaking threat actors in activity associated with the GlassWorm software supply-chain campaign. RedExt itself is a framework rather than a standalone malware family, and its operator, target scope, and independent deployment characteristics are not established.
