description: The following analytic identifies a suspicious wermgr.exe parent process having a child process not related to error, fault or windows werfault event.
|
|
This technique was seen in Qakbot malware where it inject its malicious code in wermgr to evade detections and hide from the analyst to execute its
|
|
recon and its malicious behavior. This Anomaly detection can be a good pivot to start investigating a possible qakbot infection in the network.
|
|
The Wermgr.exe process is not known to have other child processes aside from itself or werfault.exe
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
|
|
where Processes.parent_process_name = "wermgr.exe" AND NOT (Processes.process_name IN ("WerFaultSecure.exe", "wermgr.exe", "WerFault.exe"))
|
|
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.process_id
|

Processes.parent_process_id Processes.original_file_name

|
|
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`

|
| `windows_process_injection_wermgr_child_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. In addition,
|
|
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
|
|
endpoint product.
