This rule aims to detect potential security incidents involving unauthorized access or exploitation of the EditionUpgradeManager COM interface, which is typically undocumented and not utilized by standard applications. The EditionUpgradeManager COM interface potentially poses a risk for privilege escalation or defense evasion attacks. The detection mechanism focuses on monitoring function calls that include the 'editionupgrademanagerobj.dll' within process access logs. It is pertinent for environments where privilege elevation may be a concern, especially in instances where applications invoke undocumented interfaces to circumvent user access control (UAC) mechanisms in Windows. Given its specificity to Windows environments, security teams should monitor events where the usage aligns with this signature, noting the potential for false positives due to unknown legitimate uses of the interface.
