Provenance

Reported as

legitimate SentinelOne agent can be abused as a privileged Trojan horse

Mechanism

The attack loads a malicious DLL into the SentinelOne agent process, exploiting its high privileges and trusted status to bypass Windows security mechanisms. This is a form of DLL sideloading or process injection that abuses the agent's legitimate code signing and kernel access.

Detection & mitigation

Monitor for unexpected DLL loads into security agent processes (e.g., via Sysmon Event ID 7) and anomalous process behavior. Enforce strict integrity controls on EDR agent binaries and directories, and restrict local admin privileges.
