ClickFix: fake Cloudflare check branded as an AI or crypto service (Win+R / Terminal) — page code

family: clickfix-branded-cf-challenge-2026-10

Throwaway lookalike domains (claudedevz[.]net, openai-credit[.]com, googlegeminidev[.]com, higgsflield[.]net, strategyvote[.]com and others) that serve a fake Cloudflare 'Performing security verification' page showing the name and icon of a well-known AI service or crypto brand (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Higgsfield, Strategy, Robinhood, OKX). The page copies a command to the clipboard and tells the visitor to paste it into the Windows Run dialog (Windows key + R, Ctrl+V, Enter) or into Terminal on macOS. On Windows the command is obfuscated PowerShell that downloads a ZIP containing a trojanized GitHub Desktop (a backdoored resources/app/main.js) and starts it from a scheduled task; on macOS it pipes a downloaded script into zsh or bash. The lures promise free API credits or bonuses. Seen since July 2026; the download servers change every few weeks while the page stays the same. No legitimate verification step asks visitors to run a command.

Page rule keyed on the kit's own per-site configuration array (brand, macOS command, Windows command, allowed host) and its copy-command widget, not on any brand name, domain or download host, so it still matches when the operator changes the brand or the stage servers. The genuine Cloudflare challenge page and the impersonated brands' own sites do not match.
