Daemon Tools Lite
Monthly
Supply chain compromise of DAEMON Tools Lite for Windows delivered trojanized installers through the legitimate vendor website daemon-tools.cc from April 8 to May 5, 2026. Attackers compromised AVB Disc Soft's build infrastructure and injected malicious code into three binaries (DTHelper.exe, DiscSoftBusServiceLite.exe, DTShellHlp.exe), all signed with the vendor's legitimate code-signing certificate. This allowed remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution on systems installing affected versions (12.5.0.2421 through 12.5.0.2434) with no user interaction required beyond normal installation. The legitimate digital signature bypassed security controls that rely on code-signing verification, making detection extremely difficult during the compromise window.
