Summary of Changes

Hello @enzok, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the AuraStealer module by expanding its capability to locate and extract configuration data from Portable Executable (PE) files. The primary change involves modifying the section identification logic to search for configuration within both the standard .data section and the "UPX1" section, which is often used by packed executables. This update aims to improve the reliability of configuration extraction, especially for samples that might use different packing or obfuscation techniques.

Highlights

  • Enhanced Configuration Extraction: The extract_config function in AuraStealer.py now checks additional PE sections, specifically "UPX1", to locate configuration data, improving its robustness.
  • Improved Section Identification: The logic for identifying relevant PE sections has been refactored to iterate through all sections and decode their names, allowing for more flexible matching.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Code Review

The pull request updates the extract_config function in AuraStealer.py to improve how data sections are identified within PE files. The changes replace a try-except block with a more explicit loop that iterates through PE sections, decodes their names, and checks for exact matches against UPX1 or .data. This enhances robustness and clarity in locating relevant configuration data sections.

The original code used s.Name.find(b".data") != -1 which would match any section name containing .data as a substring. The updated code uses name in ("UPX1", ".data") which requires an exact match for the decoded and null-stripped section name. This is a more precise approach for standard section names and UPX1. Please confirm that the intent is to only match these exact names and not any section containing .data as a substring, as this change in matching logic could alter behavior for non-standard PE files.
