name: WinRM Spawning a Process

|
description: The following analytic identifies suspicious processes spawning from
|
|
WinRM (wsmprovhost.exe). This analytic is related to potential exploitation of CVE-2021-31166.
|
|
which is a kernel-mode device driver http.sys vulnerability. Current proof of concept
|
|
code will blue-screen the operating system. However, http.sys used by many different
|
|
Windows processes, including WinRM. In this case, identifying suspicious process
|
|
create (child processes) from `wsmprovhost.exe` is what this analytic is identifying.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon Event ID 1
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.parent_process_name=wsmprovhost.exe
|
|
Processes.process_name IN ("cmd.exe","sh.exe","bash.exe","powershell.exe","pwsh.exe","schtasks.exe","certutil.exe","whoami.exe","bitsadmin.exe","scp.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)` | `winrm_spawning_a_process_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
|
|
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
|
|
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
|
|
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
|
|
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
|
|
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
|
|
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
|
|
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
|
|
names and speed up the data modeling process.
|
|
known_false_positives: Unknown. Add new processes or filter as needed. It is possible
|
|
system management software may spawn processes from `wsmprovhost.exe`.
