ToddyCat's Umbrij Malware Quietly Hijacks Gmail via OAuth Abuse

The ToddyCat APT group has developed a new malware called Umbrij that exploits OAuth 2.0 and the Google API to covertly access victims' Gmail accounts. The tool works by launching a Chromium-based browser in headless mode, hijacking an active Gmail session via remote debugging, and using Puppeteer to automate the OAuth authorization process — ultimately obtaining an access token granting full access to Gmail, Drive, Contacts, and other Google services. Organizations are advised to check for unauthorized OAuth app connections, particularly those named "Google Workspace Migration/Sync for Microsoft Outlook," and revoke any suspicious access tokens.
