description: The following analytic identifies the Microsoft Software Licensing User
|
|
Interface Tool, `slui.exe`, spawning a child process. This behavior is associated
|
|
with publicly known UAC bypass. `slui.exe` is commonly associated with software
|
|
updates and is most often spawned by `svchost.exe`. The `slui.exe` process should
|
|
not have child processes, and any processes spawning from it will be running with
|
|
elevated privileges. During triage, review the child process and additional parallel
|
|
processes. Identify any file modifications that may have lead to the bypass.
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.parent_process_name=slui.exe
|
|
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process Processes.process_name
|
|
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
|
|
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `slui_spawning_a_process_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` node.
|
|
known_false_positives: Certain applications may spawn from `slui.exe` that are legitimate.
|
|
Filtering will be needed to ensure proper monitoring.
