New Malware Technique Could Exploit Windows UI Framework to Evade EDR Tools

​A newly devised technique leverages a Windows accessibility framework called UI Automation (UIA) to perform a wide range of malicious activities without tipping off endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.
“To exploit this technique, a user must be convinced to run a program that uses UI Automation,” Akamai security researcher Tomer Peled said in a report shared with The Hacker News. ” A newly devised technique leverages a Windows accessibility framework called UI Automation (UIA) to perform a wide range of malicious activities without tipping off endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.
