AndroSnitch is an Android information-stealing payload that collects and exfiltrates Chrome cookies, saved login credentials, browsing history, and saved Wi-Fi credentials and settings. Its theft of browser cookies exposes authenticated sessions to potential reuse. It does not establish persistence, and its execution chain terminates when it detects a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
AndroSnitch has been deployed in Poisoned Source, a mobile watering-hole espionage campaign attributed to the Russian state-linked group APT29, also known as Midnight Blizzard or Cozy Bear. Delivery uses compromised legitimate websites, lookalike websites, and a compromised Plerdy analytics tracker. Visitor-profiling JavaScript selects a device-specific exploit chain, allowing a website visit to trigger compromise without further interaction. The Android chain targets Chrome versions 139 through 145, excluding version 143, and exploits CVE-2026-3910 and the Adreno graphics driver vulnerability CVE-2025-27038 to obtain code execution, escape the browser sandbox, and escalate privileges before deploying AndroSnitch. These exploitation capabilities belong to the delivery chain rather than the information-stealing payload itself. Campaign exposure included military- and defense-related websites, a Ukrainian gas producer, and a U.S. chemical-industry trade association. AndroSnitch is distinct from ANDROSNATCH, an earlier Android Chrome cookie-stealing payload whose similarities inspired its name.
