Description: A DLL hijack vulnerability was reported in Lenovo Service Framework that could allow a local attacker to execute code with elevated privileges.

Mitre ATT&CK Technical v15.1

T1053.002 – At

Technical Analysis & Mitigation Measures

1. Technical Attack Analysis:
– The attack technique T1053.002 (Scheduled Task/Job: At) involves the exploitation of scheduled tasks to execute malicious code. This can lead to unauthorized access and control over the affected system.
– The DLL hijack in Lenovo Service Framework allows attackers to place a malicious DLL in a location that the framework will load, resulting in code execution with elevated privileges.
– The possible outcomes of exploitation include:
– Unauthorized administrative access to the system.
– Execution of arbitrary code, potentially leading to data exfiltration or system compromise.
– Persistence of the malicious payload via scheduled tasks, ensuring continued access even after system reboots.
– Potential lateral movement within the network if the compromised machine has access to sensitive resources.

2. Mitigation Measures:
– Implement strict access controls to sensitive directories.
– Regularly audit scheduled tasks for unauthorized entries.
– Apply the principle of least privilege to user accounts.
– Monitor and log DLL load events for suspicious activity.
– Employ application whitelisting to restrict execution of untrusted code.
– Keep software and systems updated with the latest security patches.
– Educate employees about the risks and signs of DLL hijacking attacks.
– Use endpoint protection solutions that can detect and block malicious behaviors.
