EDR Evasion Stack Helps Process Injection Slip Past Defenses

A technique has been discovered that allows process injection to bypass endpoint detection and response tools. This method involves injecting code into process initialization structures, rather than relying on Windows APIs that are commonly monitored by EDR tools. By doing so, it enables malicious code to evade detection. The technique is referred to as process parameter-poisoning. It exploits a blind spot in EDR tools, which typically focus on monitoring Windows APIs for suspicious activity. This evasion method allows attackers to inject code without being detected.
