Earlier this month, @Volexity detected multiple Chinese threat actors launching attacks against its customers using chained 0-day exploits in Google Chrome (CVE-2026-85046 & CVE-2026-87491) and Microsoft Windows (CVE-2026-85880). Volexity observed threat actors it tracks as UTA0560 and JungleBamboo using variations of the same exploits to deliver different malware implants. These implants ranged from a JScript backdoor (GRIMWEDGE) to a fake Google Gemini Chrome extension (LONGTALE).
