Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1055.002 (Portable Executable Injection) is an Enterprise Defense Evasion and Privilege Escalation sub-technique of T1055 (Process Injection). Adversaries may inject portable executables (PE) into processes in order to evade process-based defenses as well as possibly elevate privileges. PE injection is a method of executing arbitrary code in the address space of a separate live process. PE injection is commonly performed by copying code (perhaps without a file on disk) into the virtual address space of the target process before invoking it via a new thread. Affected platforms: Windows. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1040 Behavior Prevention on Endpoint. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-02, AC-03, AC-05, AC-06, CM-05, CM-06, IA-02, SC-07.
