Summary
The "Vulnerable Driver Load" rule is designed to detect the loading of drivers on Windows systems that are known to have vulnerabilities. By analyzing the hash values of driver files, it identifies instances where these vulnerable drivers are loaded into the system. This is critical in helping organizations mitigate potential privilege escalation risks that arise from using compromised or vulnerable drivers. The rule utilizes a defined list of malicious hashes sourced from repositories such as loldrivers.io. It is particularly relevant for security monitoring tools that manage driver integrity on Windows platforms. Given the prevalence of exploits leveraging vulnerable drivers, this rule serves as a proactive measure in identifying potentially harmful configurations in Windows environments.
