Provenance

Reported as

bypass Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) by exploiting a command injection

Mechanism

The Intune Management Extension executable (Microsoft.Management.Services.IntuneWindowsAgent.exe) accepted a -PowerShell parameter with improper argument escaping, allowing command injection. An attacker could craft arguments to write a file to disk, which inherited NTFS Extended Attributes marking it as created by a Managed Installer. This made the file trusted by WDAC, allowing execution of arbitrary scripts or binaries even in Constrained Language mode.

Detection & mitigation

Monitor for suspicious use of Microsoft.Management.Services.IntuneWindowsAgent.exe with -PowerShell parameter, especially from non-system processes. Ensure Intune Management Extension is updated to remove the vulnerable switch. Audit WDAC Managed Installer configurations to limit trust scope.
