From Lares Labs: Detection & Remediation Information for CVE-2021-1675 & CVE-2021-34527

This repo contains an EVTX sample of the CVE-2021-1675 attack as well as a minimal Sysmon configuration file that can be used to generate the relevant telemetry.

Please note that these rules may be circumvented - please patch as appropriate and disable the printer spooler service on domain controllers.

Please test all recommended fixes before rolling out to production as there may be unintended consequences as a result of these hardening changes. We've written up a blog post explaining the content of this repo and the information found. Here: https://www.lares.com/blog/detection-and-mitigation-advice-for-printnightmare/

Workaround Fix

The patch released by Microsoft does not unfortunately fix the issue, therefore a workaround fix can be applied by disabling the printer spooler service. Here's how to do it on both GPO and PowerShell.

Removal of Authenticated Users from Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access

Another fix/workaround is to remove authenticated users from Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access as discovered by Dirk-jan.

Ensure the "Authenticated Users" groups are not members of the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group". (By default, these groups are not included in current Windows versions.) as shown in the screenshot below there should be no members:

If in doubt as to how to do this, the following steps can be taken:

  1. Open "Active Directory Users and Computers" (available from various menus or run "dsa.msc").
  2. Expand the domain being reviewed in the left pane and select the "Builtin" container.
  3. Double-click on the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" group in the right pane.
  4. Select the "Members" tab.
  5. If the "Anonymous Logon", "Authenticated Users" or "Everyone" groups are members, select each and click "Remove".

The following GPO can be set to deny client connections to the spooler, which is a potential work around where disabling the spooler service altogether might not be an option. This has been tested against domain controllers and endpoints(W7/W10) in a lab environment and users can still add/remove printers and print however it stops the exploit from working. Note: It is also understood that this GPO also fixes CVE-2021-34527 as noted in Microsoft's vulnerability page.

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Printers -> Allow Print Spooler to accept client connections set this to Disabled:

Then restart the spooler service on the affected host. All going well the exploit will be denied access:

Adapted 0gtweet's script to use ADDomainController to pull all DCs from Domain

# the script STOP and DISABLES Print Spooler service (aka #PrintNightmare) on each server from the list below IF ONLY DEFAULT PRINTERS EXIST.
# revert if you need: go to services.msc, find the "print spooler" service, change startup type to "automatic" and start the service.

Alternative approach

A generic way to hunt for Print Spooler exploitation is looking for error generated by print spooler due to loading of the payload DLL. This can be done either through looking for spawning of WerFault.exe by spoolsv.exe or generation of Event ID 7031 showing unexpected termination of print spooler service.

OR (index=windows Channel=System EventCode=7031
