Windows Bind Link Abuse Lets Attackers Blind EDR and Bypass AMSI, AppLocker, and Sysmon

Bitdefender researchers describe a Windows post-compromise evasion technique that abuses in-memory bind links to make trusted file paths resolve to attacker-controlled backing files. Variants include File-Binding (redirecting DLLs), Process-Binding (misreporting executable image origins), and Silo-Binding (different resolutions inside isolated silos), any of which can blind EDRs, allowlisting, hashing, and forensic tools; the research is a disclosure of defensive weakness rather than evidence of a standalone malware or active mass exploitation.
