ClickFix doesn't attack your knowledge. It attacks your trust.

This report analyzes the ClickFix attack — a social-engineering delivery that silently overwrites victims' clipboards with a command on a compromised web page (fake CAPTCHAs, updates, or verifications), tricks users into pasting it into Run/Terminal, and uses signed system utilities to execute in-memory payloads (infostealers and RATs) that evade EDR and antivirus; it describes a student-site watering-hole compromise, the commercialization of ClickFix as MaaS, observed payloads and infrastructure techniques, and recommended structural mitigations (YARA detection, PowerShell constrained mode, application control, and user education).
