description: The following analytic identifies a renamed instance of hh.exe (HTML
|
|
Help) executing a Compiled HTML Help (CHM). This particular technique will load
|
|
Windows script code from a compiled help file. CHM files may contain nearly any
|
|
file type embedded, but only execute html/htm. Upon a successful execution, the
|
|
following script engines may be used for execution - JScript, VBScript, VBScript.Encode,
|
|
JScript.Encode, JScript.Compact. Analyst may identify vbscript.dll or jscript.dll
|
|
loading into hh.exe upon execution. The "htm" and "html" file extensions were the
|
|
only extensions observed to be supported for the execution of Shortcut commands
|
|
or WSH script code. During investigation, identify script content origination. Validate
|
|
it is the legitimate version of hh.exe by reviewing the PE metadata. hh.exe is natively
|
|
found in C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\syswow64.

search:

selection1:
|
|
OriginalFileName: HH.EXE
|

Image|endswith: hh.exe
|
|
condition: selection1
|
|
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.
|
|
known_false_positives: Although unlikely a renamed instance of hh.exe will be used
|
|
legitimately, filter as needed.
