This detection rule monitors for the enabling of the "AllowAnonymousCallback" registry value within the Windows operating system. When this registry value is set (specifically to a DWORD value of 0x00000001), it allows remote connections between computers that do not share a trust relationship. This can present a significant security risk as it facilitates unauthenticated access, potentially allowing malicious actors to connect to the machine without proper authorization. The rule specifically targets registry modifications related to WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) for remote communication and alerts on changes that reinforce this loophole. The threshold level for triggering an alert is set to medium, indicating this activity should be scrutinized, particularly in environments where sensitive data or critical systems are in use. False positives may occur during legitimate administrative actions, so additional context may be necessary to differentiate between malicious activity and standard operational tasks. Administrators should ensure that remote access configurations align with the organization’s security policies and assess the implications of enabling anonymous connections in their network environments.
