Detects non-Defender processes accessing the Windows Defender signature definition file (mpasbase.vdm). This file should exclusively be accessed by Defender platform processes (MsMpEng.exe, MpCmdRun.exe, NisSrv.exe, etc.) and Windows servicing components. Any other process touching this file has zero legitimate use cases and is a high-fidelity indicator of the BlueHammer zero-day LPE exploit, which leverages a batch oplock on mpasbase.vdm to freeze Defender mid-read, then performs NTFS junction swapping to redirect SYSTEM-context reads to the SAM hive via a VSS snapshot, resulting in local credential theft and privilege escalation. MITRE: T1068 - Exploitation for Privilege Escalation. References: https://github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse/BlueHammer, https://www.deobfuscated.dev/posts/defender-lpe-0-day

Detects non-Defender processes accessing or modifying the Defender signature definition file (mpasbase.vdm).
This behavior is indicative of the BlueHammer zero-day LPE, which leverages a batch oplock on this file to freeze Windows Defender mid-read, subsequently executing path confusion to force Defender to read the SAM hive as SYSTEM.
