New Threat Model: Zero-Click Compromise via File Rendering Automation 
RenderShock introduces a powerful new attack framework that leverages trusted file previewing, indexing, and sync mechanisms to trigger payloads — without exploits, macros, or even opening the file.
 
Key Highlights:

  •  Zero-click execution using passive system features.
  •  Payloads delivered via LNKs, polyglots, CHMs, EXIF beacons, and remote Office templates.
  •  Targets Windows/macOS preview handlers, indexing engines, and cloud sync daemons.
  • Demonstrates execution chains without user interaction or CVE exploitation.
  • Includes MITRE mapping, detection guidance, and red team-ready payload chains.
