The Warlock ransomware group is loading signed but vulnerable kernel-mode drivers (BYOVD technique) to terminate EDR agent processes before deploying ransomware payloads, removing automated containment and alerting at the moment of detonation. No CVE or specific driver identifier is confirmed in available source material; no specific EDR vendor or version is named. Organizations should immediately audit kernel driver load events, enable HVCI on all supported endpoints, and ensure fallback detection via network-level controls and SIEM log retention remains functional in scenarios where EDR telemetry is unavailable.
