T1559.001 · ATT&CK technique
Component Object Model
4 actors on record using it
Every mark is an actor ATT&CK records using this technique. Red ones also exploit a CVE in CISA KEV.
Open T1559.001 on attack.mitre.orgAdversaries may use the Windows Component Object Model (COM) for local code execution. COM is an inter-process communication (IPC) component of the native Windows application programming interface (API) that enables interaction between software objects, or executable code that implements one or more interfaces. Through COM, a client object can call methods of server objects, which are typically binary Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) or executables (EXE). Remote COM execution is facilitated by Remote Services such as Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM).
