CAPEC-234

Hijacking a privileged process

An adversary gains control of a process that is assigned elevated privileges in order to execute arbitrary code with those privileges. Some processes are assigned elevated privileges on an operating system, usually through association with a particular user, group, or role. If an attacker can hijack this process, they will be able to assume its level of privilege in order to execute their own code.

Saldırı adım adım nasıl ilerler?

1

Explore

Find process with elevated priveleges

The adversary probes for processes running with elevated privileges.

Kullanılan teknikler

  • On Windows, use the process explorer's security tab to see if a process is running with administror privileges.
  • On Linux, use the ps command to view running processes and pipe the output to a search for a particular user, or the root user.
2

Experiment

Find vulnerability in running process

The adversary looks for a vulnerability in the running process that would allow for arbitrary code execution with the privilege of the running process.

Kullanılan teknikler

  • Look for improper input validation
  • Look for a buffer overflow which may be exploited if an adversary can inject unvalidated data.
  • Utilize system utilities that support process control that have been inadequately secured
3

Exploit

Execute arbitrary code

The adversary exploits the vulnerability that they have found and hijacks the running process.
