EDR Comedy of Errors: SentinelOne’s Anti-Tamper Drama Exposed!
Endpoint Detection and Response solutions, like SentinelOne’s EDR, aren’t foolproof. Aon’s Stroz Friedberg team discovered a new way to bypass SentinelOne’s anti-tamper feature using the “Bring Your Own Installer” method. So, while SentinelOne provides mitigation steps, remember, even the toughest EDR can sometimes be as effective as a chocolate teapot!
Hot Take:
SentinelOne might want to consider switching careers to a magician because it seems their EDR can make protection disappear just like a rabbit out of a hat! With a little smoke and mirrors, or should I say “Bring Your Own Installer,” cyber villains are waltzing right past the velvet ropes of SentinelOne’s security. Don’t worry though, SentinelOne has whipped up a response faster than you can say “abracadabra!”
Key Points:
– Researchers discovered a new technique called “Bring Your Own Installer” to bypass SentinelOne’s EDR.
– The method exploits a flaw in the upgrade/downgrade process of the SentinelOne agent.
– This vulnerability allows threat actors to gain local administrative access and execute ransomware.
– SentinelOne has provided mitigation steps, ensuring proper configuration can prevent these exploits.
– The flaw creates a temporary unprotected window during the agent’s upgrade/downgrade process.
