Bring Your Own EDR Attack Turns SentinelOne Into Trojan Horse to Bypass Windows PPL
gbhackers.com · 60d ago · August 14th, 2026
Security researchers have introduced a new technique called “Bring Your Own EDR” (BYOEDR) that exploits legitimate SentinelOne components to bypass Windows Protected Process Light (PPL) protections, allowing the execution of unsigned code within highly secured processes. This research, presented by Akamai at DEF CON 34, demonstrates how trusted endpoint detection and response (EDR) software can […] The post New Bring Your Own EDR Attack Turns SentinelOne Into Trojan Horse to Bypass Windows PPL appeared first on GBHackers Security | #1 Globally Trusted Cyber Security News Platform .

Bring Your Own EDR Attack Weaponizes SentinelOne to Bypass Windows Security
cyberpress.org · 60d ago · August 14th, 2026
Documented by Akamai, the technique abuses exposed administrative interfaces and trust relationships within the EDR stack to access Protected Process Light (PPL) processes and to execute unsigned code without a kernel exploit or a vulnerable driver. Presented at DEF CON 34 , the findings highlight a troublesome reality for defenders: endpoint security tools operate with exceptional privilege, making insecure local interfaces and weak installation assumptions unusually high-impact attack surfaces. Bring Your Own EDR Attack Weaponizes SentinelOne Akamai said the reported SentinelOne issue was fixed in Agent version 26.1.1. Windows Protected Process Light is designed to stop ordinary processes from reading, modifying, debugging, or terminating security-sensitive processes. Antivirus and EDR products commonly use the Antimalware-Light signer level, while components such as LSASS rely on related PPL protections. The research focused on exposed interfaces in the SentinelOne Component Object Model (COM). Shahak Morag identified the SentinelHelper.1 interface and a Dump method that could create process dumps for a supplied process identifier. Attack on SentinelOne (Source: Akamai) While access required local administrator privileges, the operation ran through SentinelOne’s protected context, enabling an administrator to dump processes protecte
