description: The following analytic detects a process writing the dynwrapx.dll file
|
|
to disk and registering it in the registry. It leverages data from the Endpoint
|
|
datamodel, specifically monitoring process and filesystem events. This activity
|
|
is significant because DynamicWrapperX is an ActiveX component often used in scripts
|
|
to call Windows API functions, and its presence in non-standard locations is highly
|
|
suspicious. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary
|
|
code, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence within the environment. Immediate
|
|
investigation of parallel processes and registry modifications is recommended.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon EventID 1 AND Sysmon EventID 11
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
|
|
by _time Processes.process_id Processes.process_name Processes.dest Processes.process_guid
|
|
Processes.user | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | join process_guid [| tstats
|
|
`security_content_summariesonly` count FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Filesystem where
|
|
Filesystem.file_name="dynwrapx.dll" by _time Filesystem.dest Filesystem.file_create_time
|
|
Filesystem.file_name Filesystem.file_path Filesystem.process_guid Filesystem.user
|
|
| `drop_dm_object_name(Filesystem)` | fields _time process_guid file_path file_name

|
|

|
|
user | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
|
|
| `process_writing_dynamicwrapperx_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
|
|
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
|
|
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` and `Filesystem`
|
|
node. In addition, confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the
|
|
latest TA for the endpoint product.
|
|
known_false_positives: False positives should be limited, however it is possible to
|
|
filter by Processes.process_name and specific processes (ex. wscript.exe). Filter
|
|
as needed. This may need modification based on EDR telemetry and how it brings in
|
|
registry data. For example, removal of (Default).
