Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1134.003 (Make and Impersonate Token) is an Enterprise Defense Evasion and Privilege Escalation sub-technique of T1134 (Access Token Manipulation). Adversaries may make new tokens and impersonate users to escalate privileges and bypass access controls. For example, if an adversary has a username and password but the user is not logged onto the system the adversary can then create a logon session for the user using the LogonUser function. The function will return a copy of the new session's access token and the adversary can use SetThreadToken to assign the token to a thread. Affected platforms: Windows. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1026 Privileged Account Management, M1018 User Account Management. 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, IA-13.
