LazarShell is a Windows malware family associated with the Lazarus Group and classified in antivirus detections as a downloader and trojan. It was identified among malware used in 2022 campaigns against South Korean companies and institutions, including defense organizations, with related activity targeting the chemical sector. The associated campaigns used watering-hole attacks through compromised South Korean websites and exploited vulnerable INITECH INISAFE CrossWEB EX software to deliver malware. The broader intrusion chains also involved exploitation of DreamSecurity MagicLine4NX, lateral movement, persistent backdoors, and vulnerable-driver abuse to disable security software; these behaviors are not established as capabilities of LazarShell itself.
