What is a “Living off the Land” (LOLBAS) attack?
We see time and time again that companies are not upgrading their Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) capabilities. This is a huge vulnerability in IT/network security because LOLBAS attacks exploit the local operating systems (OS) to avoid detection by using tools or features that already exist in the target environment, making it more difficult for defenders to detect or prevent.
To combat this type of attack, we mapped and developed an out-of-the-box integration rules bundle which leverages built-in windows auditing capabilities to detect such attacks, minimizing an expensive risk with a quick (and easy) solution. The LOLBAS bundle includes around 200 unique detection rules.
Regsvr32 is a command-line utility to register and unregister OLE controls, such as DLLs and ActiveX controls in the Windows Registry.
An adversary can use this signed Windows binary to achieve signed-binary proxy execution defined by MITRE ATT&CK as technique T1117.
It may be possible to bypass application whitelist solutions because the execution of signed system binaries might be allowed.
The technique is done by calling the command line tool to run a local or remote Windows Script Component (SCT) file, in which VBScript or JavaScript can be used to gain arbitrary code execution. regsvr32.exe is network and proxy aware, the scripts can be loaded by passing a uniform resource locator (URL) to file on an external Web server as an argument during invocation.
This method makes no changes to the Registry as the COM object is not actually registered, only executed.
