description: The following analytic detects the modification of the UserInitMprLogonScript
registry entry, which is often used by attackers to establish persistence and gain
privilege escalation upon system boot. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry
data model, focusing on changes to the specified registry path. This activity is
significant because it is a common technique used by APT groups and malware to ensure
their payloads execute automatically when the system starts. If confirmed malicious,
this could allow attackers to maintain persistent access and potentially escalate
their privileges on the compromised host.
data_source:
- Sysmon EventID 13
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime
max(_time) as lastTime FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Registry where Registry.registry_path
IN ("*\\Environment\\UserInitMprLogonScript") by Registry.dest Registry.user Registry.registry_path
Registry.registry_key_name Registry.registry_value_name | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)` | `logon_script_event_trigger_execution_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you must be ingesting data
that records registry activity from your hosts to populate the endpoint data model
in the registry node. This is typically populated via endpoint detection-and-response
product, such as Carbon Black or endpoint data sources, such as Sysmon. The data
used for this search is typically generated via logs that report reads and writes
to the registry.
