Provenance

Reported as

An attacker with local access can redirect this path to a user-writable location, causing OpenEDR to load a malicious DLL into privileged processes

Mechanism

The OpenEDR kernel driver exposes an IOCTL interface that allows modification of the DLL injection path. An attacker with local access can redirect this path to a user-writable location, causing OpenEDR to load a malicious DLL into privileged processes, resulting in privilege escalation to SYSTEM.

Detection & mitigation

Monitor for unexpected modifications to the OpenEDR DLL injection path via IOCTL calls, using kernel driver auditing or EDR telemetry that tracks registry/file path changes. Mitigate by applying vendor patches, restricting local access, and enforcing application control to block unauthorized DLL loading.
