Technical Analysis & Mitigation Measures
1. Technical Attack Analysis:
– Attack Techniques :
– DLL Search Order Hijacking: The attacker can place a malicious DLL in a location that the vulnerable application will search before the legitimate DLL, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.
– Local Privilege Escalation: By executing the malicious DLL, the attacker can gain elevated privileges on the system, potentially compromising sensitive data or system integrity.
– Possible Outcomes of Exploitation :
– Unauthorized access to system resources and data.
– Installation of additional malware or backdoors.
– Control over the affected machine, leading to further attacks on the network.
– Data exfiltration or destruction.
2. Mitigation Measures:
– Implement application whitelisting to control which executables can run.
– Regularly update and patch the vulnerable software and operating system.
– Employ user access controls to limit local user privileges.
– Monitor and audit DLL files for unauthorized changes.
– Educate users about the risks of executing unverified applications.
– Utilize endpoint protection solutions to detect and block malicious DLLs.
– Configure the system to disable loading of DLLs from untrusted directories.
