BT25-01 advisory for EPM for Windows

Hi, what process and reg value changes should we be looking out for to monitor these reg hives? 

Hello ​@nova24 , the hives to monitor are as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\CLSID

At to processes, multiple tools such as command prompt, PowerShell and PowerShell ISE, Registry Editor, SetX, Reg, and WMIC can be used to modify them.

Hi ​@PAC, these reg hives are too noisy to be monitored properly. Any advice on how to further narrow them down? We’ve already used the processes to focus on modifications however, it’s still too noisy. 

Hi ​@nova24, if monitoring these hives is too noisy then BeyondTrust would recommend using Group Policy to control access to who can modify them. 

However, please remember that our primary recommendation regarding this CVE is to ensure that you are running EPM-W 25.2 or above on your endpoints.
