GhostTree Attack: Exploiting NTFS Junctions to Evade Detection
Financial Services4 months ago

GhostTree Attack: Exploiting NTFS Junctions to Evade Detection

In May 2026, Varonis Threat Labs identified a novel evasion technique named 'GhostTree' that exploits NTFS junctions in Windows systems. By creating recursive directory loops, attackers can generate an effectively infinite number of file paths, causing Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools to hang during recursive scans. This manipulation allows malicious files to remain undetected, as the scanning process becomes trapped in the loop and fails to complete. The technique requires only standard user permissions, making it accessible without administrative rights. ([varonis.com](https://www.varonis.com/blog/ghosttree-ntfs-trick?utm_source=openai)) The discovery of GhostTree underscores the evolving sophistication of malware evasion tactics. As attackers increasingly exploit legitimate system features to bypass security measures, organizations must enhance their detection capabilities and adopt comprehensive monitoring strategies to identify and mitigate such advanced threats.
