Airlock Releases Free Document to Test Chained Trust in EDR and Application Whitelisting Solutions

Today Airlock Digital is releasing a free Microsoft Word document to test ‘Chained Trust’ in EDR and Application Whitelisting solutions. This is where a product will trust a parent process (such as winword.exe) and automatically place trust in any spawned child processes.

Security products that are configured to use ‘Chained Trust’ may provide a reduced level of security.

This document contains Macro code, which attempts to drop either a .dll or .exe file in the document's working directory and execute it, allowing you to audit product configurations.

[Updated in December 2023] [Download the Allowlisting Auditor v4](/application-whitelisting-auditor/) or read about the [Allowlisting Auditor updates in v4](/airlock-blog/airlock-digital-allowlisting-auditor-v4).
