This malware targets Linux systems, specifically exploiting how shell scripts or administrative utilities might handle filenames when expanding them in loops.
: Because many security engines scan contents and not filenames , this "archive-borne" attack often bypasses initial perimeter defenses.
: When an administrator or an automated script processes the archive (e.g., using a loop to list or extract files), the shell may execute the code embedded in the filename through command injection.
