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:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
ParentImage: slui.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.
|
|
known_false_positives: Certain applications may spawn from `slui.exe` that are legitimate.
|
|
Filtering will be needed to ensure proper monitoring.
