Based on the principles of transparency, accessibility, usability, verifiability and perceptibility of security capabilities, Antiy releases weekly updates of the AVL SDK anti-virus engine and the full set of capabilities to the public every week.

1.Weekly Update                           

Statistical period: July 4, 2026 ~ July 10, 2026

Antiy AVL SDK anti-virus engine released a total of 84 virus database updates this week, with an average of 12 updates per day, adding 30 new detectable malicious code families, 5,674 new detectable malicious code variants, and 30,205 new detection rules.

The following table shows the TOP5 newly detectable malicious code families:

Number	Virus Name	Virus Description
1	Trojan/Python.LoneNone	This family of malware is a type of Trojan that primarily takes control of infected hosts by injecting malicious scripts, enabling attackers to remotely perform malicious actions, steal sensitive data, monitor user activity, and more.
2	Trojan/Win32.TaxShadow	This family of malware is a type of Trojan that primarily lurks in computer systems via Trojan programs, monitoring users’ keystrokes and screen activity to record sensitive information such as account names and passwords.
3	Trojan/MSIL.RubbrCrypt[Ransom]	This family of malware is a type of Trojan virus that typically spreads through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or exploit attacks. Once a system is infected, the malware encrypts the user’s files and demands a ransom in exchange for the decryption key, posing a serious threat to computer systems.
4	Trojan/MSIL.TinyRCT[Downloader]	This family of malware is a type of Trojan virus that primarily spreads and infects systems by exploiting vulnerabilities. The virus tricks users into downloading and running it by disguising itself as legitimate software or by hiding within cracked or pirated software, and then steals users’ sensitive information, including important data such as bank account details, passwords, and personal identification information.
5	Trojan/JS.NpmSteal[PSW]	This family is a type of Trojan horse; the malware bypasses certificate validation to connect to the attacker’s C2 server, steals various development keys, account credentials, and cryptocurrency wallet data, and establishes persistent backdoors across all platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The detection capabilities and the number of rules classified by malicious code are as follows:

Type	Detectable Malicious Code (Types)	Detection Rules (Items)
Infectious viruses	59,670	6,829,206
Worms	315,632	3,952,045
Trojans	13,563,590	25,811,060
Hacking tools	458,869	367,341
Risk tools	1,207,131	2,248,607
Rogue software	3,016,107	3,027,163
Junk files	11	1,082
Test programs (for self-test)	27	105
Total	18,621,037	42,236,609

Preprocessing Capabilities (partial) :

There are 31 types of shells that can be unpacked (accurate to the type), and 132 packages that can be disassembled, including all common packages and self-extracting packages.

Supporting Knowledge Output Capabilities:

For malware payloads, the integrated AVL SDK malware knowledge base encompasses 533 key behavioral patterns of ATT&CK, covering 171 ATT&CK technical tags with a coverage rate of 64.29%, basically covering all the statically detectable tags in the ATT&CK framework.

3. Be on Guard Against These Virus Families This Week

Remain vigilant this week regarding security risks posed by AI-driven open-source supply chain poisoning. Researchers have discovered a set of malicious npm packages linked to Lazarus. The Trojan/JS.NpmSteal[PSW] malware family disguises itself as a Rollup polyfill tool, lowering developers’ guard by mimicking the tool’s name, README, and repository information. The attack chain features a distinct layered design: the entry-point package silently installs a second-stage component upon import, which then fetches and executes an obfuscated payload from a remote server. Ultimately, the malware’s capabilities include not only stealing browser credentials, wallet data, and sensitive files, but also remote control, clipboard monitoring, and command execution.

Appendix: Introduction to Antiy AVL SDK Anti-Virus Engine

Antiy AVL SDK anti-virus engine is a threat detection capability middleware developed by Antiy for all architectures and system platforms. By embedding the AVL SDK, Antiy products and ecosystem partners’ products can acquire virus and malicious code detection capabilities, and receive continuous updates through the virus database.

For eight malicious code categories including infectious viruses, worms, Trojans, hacking tools, gray software, risky software, junk files, and test files, it accurately identifies and detects over 50,000 families and 18 million malicious code variants. The detection capability fully covers all known malicious codes and strictly adheres to the CARO convention. The output is structured and named in sections by classification, environment, and family, and based on the behavioral capabilities of malicious samples, it outputs nearly a hundred types of malicious behavior tags for typical malicious behaviors such as encryption ransomware, data theft, remote control, botnet programs, and mining. Antiy Engine can recognize over 300 file formats and conduct in-depth preprocessing on compilable executable formats such as PE and ELF. It also performs recursive unpacking of various packages (including self-extracting archives), and conduct structural analysis of compound documents such as OFFICE and ACAD files that may contain embedded scripts or vulnerability-prone formats. This ensures high robustness against malicious code. Antiy Engine also comes with a trusted file signature library, supporting the product to implement security policies based on blacklist and whitelist controls, significantly enhancing the difficulty for attackers.

Antiy’s detection capabilities can be fully deployed locally. Antiy automatically analyzes and processes over 2 million new file objects on average every day and releases a virus database update every two hours. It also provides support services such as cloud detection, cloud analysis, and computer virus encyclopedia.

Antiy AVL SDK is available in various versions such as traditional PC hosts, smart terminals, network traffic, IT application innovation systems, industrial systems, and unmanned systems. It provides threat detection capabilities for scenarios including host system and workload security, network traffic security, business flow security, email and file service security, etc. It fully supports various architectures such as X86, ARM, MIPS (including Cavium), RISC, and PowerPC, supports a variety of mainstream operating systems including domestic operating systems, Linux, and Windows, as well as real-time industrial operating systems like Vxwork. It also supports high-speed detection in backbone network scenarios.
