The driver masquerades as a legitimate CrowdStrike Falcon driver and provides extensive capabilities to terminate processes, remove security callbacks, manipulate files, and disable security tools. It uses stolen certificates from Chinese companies and requires a specific password for activation. The driver was observed being deployed alongside HEARTCRYPT-packed loaders and provides attackers with kernel-level capabilities to blind EDR products by removing notification callbacks, detaching mini-filter devices, and replacing driver major functions.","Usecase":"Elevate privileges","Privileges":"kernel","OperatingSystem":"Windows 10"},"Resources":["https://www.elastic.co/security-labs/abyssworker"],"Acknowledgement":{"Person":"","Handle":""},"Detection":[],"KnownVulnerableSamples":[{"Filename":"","MD5":"84414d0f2ab10d509580dd84d24e6708","SHA1":"db76d3e42e3785cb166a758ebe41d0c739440c70","SHA256":"b2ff9ef50ae037bb003d7157ea8da008a48f715a78c644b5f027b070bf5eb049","Signature":"","Date":"","Publisher":"","Company":"CrowdStrike, Inc.","Description":"CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor Driver","Product":"CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor","ProductVersion":"6.34.14806.0","FileVersion":"6.34.14806.0","MachineType":"AMD64","OriginalFilename":"CSAgent.sys","Imphash":"4e3c3df003b6a014459f47ae8cb021c7","Authentihash":{"MD5":"a681f7f65cb88f074869b93b732a3dd1","SHA1":"1a76b65301253df32595414c17410770d073dc50","SHA256":"17a997feed57712f46558b4c99766d5b7722e1b095133b6b391a4743140e45de"},"RichPEHeaderHash":{"MD5":"ffdf660eb1ebf020a1d0a55a90712dfb","SHA1":"3e905e3d061d0d59de61fcf39c994fcb0ec1bab3","SHA256":"2b3f99a94b7a7132854be769e27b331419c53989ef42f686d6f5ba09ddefefd6"},"Sections":{".text":{"Entropy":0,"Virtual Size":"0xf622"},".rdata":{"Entropy":0,"Virtual Size":"0xd08"},".data":{"Entropy":0,"Virtual Size":"0x308"},".pdata":{"Entropy":0,"Virtual Size":"0x540"},"INIT":{"Entropy":0,"Virtual Size":"0xd20"},".:{`":{"Entropy":0,"Virtual Size":"0x1105f3"},".xu.":{"Entropy":2.4739824188585824,"Virtual Size":"0xb0"},".i\\6":{"Entropy":7.786183341757941,"Virtual Size":"0x21fee0"},".rsrc":{"Entropy":3.3858466336820867,"Virtual Size":"0x3a8"},".reloc":{"Entropy":3.475425705649369,"Virtual Size":"0x68"}},"MagicHeader":"50 45 0 0","CreationTimestamp":"2024-11-09 09:33:54","InternalName":"CSAgent.sys","Copyright":"(c) CrowdStrike, Inc.
