Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1134 (Access Token Manipulation) is an Enterprise Defense Evasion and Privilege Escalation technique. Adversaries may modify access tokens to operate under a different user or system security context to perform actions and bypass access controls. Windows uses access tokens to determine the ownership of a running process. A user can manipulate access tokens to make a running process appear as though it is the child of a different process or belongs to someone other than the user that started the process. When this occurs, the process also takes on the security context associated with the new token. ATT&CK documents 5 sub-techniques: T1134.001 Token Impersonation/Theft; T1134.002 Create Process with Token; T1134.003 Make and Impersonate Token; T1134.004 Parent PID Spoofing; T1134.005 SID-History Injection. Affected platforms: Windows. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1018 User Account Management, M1026 Privileged 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.
