Custom definition, ReadRegValue won't read from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\

$

Hello.

 

I'm trying to create a custom definition in LD 9.5 SP1 to detect if a certain registry key is set to a certain value.

 

Since the "Registry Settings" function is hardcoded to only support HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, I need to use a "Custom script" instead since the key I'm looking for is placed in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

 

I'm using the built-in function "ReadRegValue" to get the value, but whenever I try to read a value below HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID I get an empty result. I can read other keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT without any issues.

 

Example:

For testing, I import the following keys on a test device:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{dummy}]
"Test2"="val_test2"
@="dummyval2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{dummy}\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{dummy}\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{dummy}\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\dummy1.exe"

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{dummy}]
"Test2"="val_test2"
@="dummyval2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{dummy}\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{dummy}\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{dummy}\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\dummy1.exe"

 

I have a rule in my custom definition that is using the following script:

 

Log "CLSID testing"
stringRegVal = ReadRegValue("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{dummy}\")
Log stringRegVal
stringRegVal = ReadRegValue("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{dummy}\shell\open\command\")
Log stringRegVal

Log "Non CLSID testing"
stringRegVal = ReadRegValue("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{dummy}\")
Log stringRegVal
stringRegVal = ReadRegValue("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{dummy}\shell\open\command\")
Log stringRegVal

 

The result in my vulscan log file is the following:

 

Running detection script
CLSID testing


Non CLSID testing
dummyval2
c:\dummy1.exe

 

The keys in CLSID are not read as they should.

 

Has anyone experienced this before and/or know how to solve it?

 

Thanks in advance.
