In Windows systems prior to Windows Vista, a registry key can\r\nbe modified that causes Winlogon to load a DLL on startup. Adversaries may take advantage of this feature to load\r\nadversarial code at startup.\r\n Relationships\r\nThis table shows the other attack patterns and high level categories that are related to this attack pattern. These\r\nrelationships are defined as ChildOf and ParentOf, and give insight to similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels\r\nof abstraction. In addition, relationships such as CanFollow, PeerOf, and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar attack\r\npatterns that the user may want to explore.\r\nNature Type\r\nChildOf Standard Attack Pattern - A standard level attack pattern in CAPEC is focused on a specific methodology or technique used in an attack. It\r\nThis table shows the views that this attack pattern belongs to and top level categories within that view.\r\nView Name Top Level Categories\r\nDomains of Attack Software\r\nMechanisms of Attack Inject Unexpected Items\r\n Mitigations\r\nChanges to registry entries in \"HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\Winlogon\\Notify\" that do not correlate with known\r\nsoftware, patch cycles, etc are suspicious. New DLLs written to System32 which do not correlate with known good software\r\nor patching may be suspicious.\r\n Taxonomy Mappings\r\nCAPEC mappings to ATT\u0026CK techniques leverage an inheritance model to streamline and minimize direct\r\nCAPEC/ATT\u0026CK mappings. Inheritance of a mapping is indicated by text stating that the parent CAPEC has relevant\r\nATT\u0026CK mappings. Note that the ATT\u0026CK Enterprise Framework does not use an inheritance model as part of the\r\nmapping to CAPEC.\r\nRelevant to the ATT\u0026CK taxonomy mapping (also see parent)\r\nEntry ID Entry Name\r\n1547.004 Boot or Logon Autostart Execution: Winlogon helper DLL\r\n Content History\r\nSubmissions\r\nSubmission Date Submitter Organization\r\n2015-11-09\r\n(Version 2.7)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nModifications\r\nModification Date Modifier Organization\r\nhttps://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/579.html\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\n2020-07-30\r\n(Version 3.3)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Taxonomy_Mappings\r\n2023-01-24\r\n(Version 3.9)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Related_Weaknesses\r\nMore information is available — Please select a different filter.\r\nSource: https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/579.html\r\nhttps://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/579.html\r\nPage 2 of 2",
