Woreflint is a hurtful threat that could possess various, threatening capabilities. In general, Trojan malware threats are often designed to perform a wide range of intrusive actions. They may be equipped with backdoor functionality, may have the ability to run keylogging routines, act as clippers, info-stealers, and as a mid-stage threat responsible for fetching and delivering additional damaging payloads.

Infosec researchers first noticed the Woreflint threat back in 2018. Since then, multiple, different versions with a varying range of features have been released by cybercriminals. Some of the identified Woreflint versions include:

Trojan:Win32/Woreflint.A
Trojan:Win32/Woreflint.A!cl
Trojan:Script/Woreflint.A!cl
Trojan:Script/Woreflint.A!rfn
Trojan:Script/Woreflint.A!ctv
Trojan:Win32/Woreflint!MTB
Trojan:Win32/Woreflint.A!MTB
Trojan:Script/Woreflint.A!MSR
Trojan:Win32/Woreflint.AK!MTB

Versions with Script in their detection's name could be injected into compromised or outright corrupted websites. In other cases, users reported that Woreflint versions were detected by their anti-malware security solutions in their browser cache.

In some cases, anti-virus and anti-malware tools may incorrectly flag a file, due to its behavior matching in part that of a real malware threat. In these cases, the detection may be a false positive. For example, reports claimed that files for games downloaded from the official Steam platform were detected as being infected with Trojan:Win32/Woreflint.A!cl. It is highly unlikely for these files to contain harmful threats. However, users should still investigate any flagged items for suspicious behavior or details.
