Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Monitor for exploitation of CVE-2024-38193 (use-after-free in AFD.sys) resulting in kernel-level privilege escalation from standard user to SYSTEM/kernel access, a technique used by Lazarus Group (Diamond Sleet) to load the FudModule rootkit. ↗
- →Detect in-memory loading of the FudModule rootkit, which performs direct kernel object manipulation (DKOM) to disable Windows monitoring features and bypass kernel security mechanisms. ↗
- →Alert on BYOVD-style attacks that do NOT drop a third-party vulnerable driver — CVE-2024-38193 abuses AFD.sys, a driver present by default on all Windows systems, making traditional BYOVD driver-drop detections insufficient. ↗
- →Check Point IPS signature available for detection: 'Microsoft Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock Elevation of Privilege (CVE-2024-38193)'. ↗
- →Lazarus Group initial access vector in related campaign: trojanized Python cryptocurrency price-retrieval app distributed via GitHub, reaching out to attacker-controlled domain for second-stage payload delivery. ↗
- ·CVE-2024-38193 was exploited as a zero-day before the August 2024 Patch Tuesday fix; systems not yet patched remain vulnerable. The vulnerability requires no third-party driver installation, making pre-patch BYOVD driver-block mitigations ineffective against this specific exploit path. ↗

FAQ: What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
FAQ: Windows 11, version 24H2 is not generally available yet. Why are there updates for this version of Windows listed in the Security Updates table?
The new Copilot+ devices that are now publicly available come with Windows 11, version 24H2 installed. Customers with these devices need to know about any vulnerabilities that affect their machine and to install the updates if they are not receiving automatic updates. Note that the general availability date for Windows 11, version 24H2 is scheduled for later this year.

CVE-2025-21418 [HIGH] Microsoft Patch Tuesday, February 2025 Edition
Microsoft today issued security updates to fix at least 56 vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and supported software, including two zero-day flaws that are being actively exploited.
All supported Windows operating systems will receive an update this month for a buffer overflow vulnerability that carries the catchy name CVE-2025-21418 . This patch should be a priority for enterprises, as Microsoft says it is being exploited, has low attack complexity, and no requirements for user interaction.
Tenable senior staff research engineer Satnam Narang noted that since 2022, there have been nine elevation of privilege vulnerabilities in this same Windows component — three each year — including one in 2024 that was exploited in the wild as a zero day (CVE-2024-38193).

My current least favorite thing about the churn of social media that I’ve seen over the past week is waves of stories , posts and videos saying that every U.S. citizen’s Social Security number has been stolen or potentially viewed by a threat actor.
The claim comes from a class action lawsuit filed on Aug. 1 against a data broker called National Public Data, claiming they failed to keep U.S. citizens’ Social Security numbers secure. A threat actor going by USDoD claimed in April that it had accessed a database that included information on every person in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.

CVE-2024-38193 [HIGH] Windows driver zero-day exploited by Lazarus hackers to install rootkit
## Windows driver zero-day exploited by Lazarus hackers to install rootkit
## Lawrence Abrams
The notorious North Korean Lazarus hacking group exploited a zero-day flaw in the Windows AFD.sys driver to elevate privileges and install the FUDModule rootkit on targeted systems.
Microsoft fixed the flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-38193 during its August 2024 Patch Tuesday , along with seven other zero-day vulnerabilities.
CVE-2024-38193 is a Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) vulnerability in the Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock (AFD.sys), which acts as an entry point into the Windows Kernel for the Winsock protocol .
The flaw was discovered by Gen Digital researchers, who say that the Lazarus hacking group exploited the AFD.sys flaw as a zero-day to install the FUDModule roo

Microsoft today released updates to fix at least 90 security vulnerabilities in Windows and related software, including a whopping six zero-day flaws that are already being actively exploited by attackers.

This month’s bundle of update joy from Redmond includes patches for security holes in Office , .NET , Visual Studio , Azure , Co-Pilot , Microsoft Dynamics , Teams , Secure Boot, and of course Windows itself. Of the six zero-day weaknesses Microsoft addressed this month, half are local privilege escalation vulnerabilities — meaning they are primarily useful for attackers when combined with other flaws or access.
CVE-2024-38106 , CVE-2024-38107 and CVE-2024-38193 all allow an attacker to gain SYSTEM level privileges on a vulnerable machine, although the vulnerabili
