Leaked DarkSword iOS Exploit Chain 'P7' Now Steals Crypto Wallet Seeds and Keystores
A third build of the P7 variant of the leaked DarkSword iOS exploit chain has been identified, featuring a new lure site themed around Chinese online casinos and a fresh command server. The chain exploits six vulnerabilities, including three zero-days, to deploy an implant that decrypts the keychain directly on the device and extracts seed phrases from wallets such as imToken, Trust Wallet, and Phantom. Unlike the original GHOSTBLADE, P7 rewrites the C2 agent to focus exclusively on wallet data while retaining the core TaskRop and MIG-filter bypass modules. Passive analysis of public sources also uncovered the long-running 'qqtime' delivery cluster that pairs DarkSword with the older Coruna chain for broader iOS coverage. The operator uses channel codes to support multiple affiliate distributors and employs an AppleKeyStore oracle to decrypt keychain items locally before exfiltration.
