Descriptions

Prior to 25.4.270.0, when wmic.exe is elevated with a full admin token the user can stop the Defendpoint service, bypassing anti-tamper protections. Once the service is disabled, the malicious user can add themselves to Administrators group and run any process with elevated permissions.

Antes de la versión 25.4.270.0, al elevar wmic.exe con un token de administrador completo, el usuario podía detener el servicio Defendpoint, omitiendo así las protecciones antimanipulación. Una vez deshabilitado el servicio, el usuario malintencionado podía agregarse al grupo de administradores y ejecutar cualquier proceso con permisos elevados.
