Title pretty much sums it up. I just found out about this function and well, it surprised me it existed as immediately the possible security consequences sprung into mind.
Why is there such a function? I understand that for debugging something like this is more or less necessary but allowing it for all processes seems like a big security problem.
Am I missing something?
If the function is needed to write a debugger, then the function must exist, it’s as simple as that. The hProcess argument must have been opened with sufficient privileges to write into the process, and it will be difficult for malware to do that.
