Registry Security Descriptor Failures

cluster-100

Registry access and security-descriptor handling fails when code writes or passes the wrong security metadata (e.g., SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES vs SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR, protected providers, or wrong ownership/ACLs), causing SetValue calls to be denied or operations to hang until restart.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

TEEC_InvokeCommand returns 0xffff0008 for nvhwkey-app file encryption and decryption

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I can't figure out how to deny access to NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK. — a named pipe locally only. Tension: all named pipes are accessible remotely. Outcome: How do I do that?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I get the error: "The security descriptor structure is invalid" — I'm trying to create a key in the TPM with the help of the NCrypt library and restrict the access to only my application in C++.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Cannot use an ACM-PCA-issued certificate to sign another certificate

INSTANCE_OFProblem

System.Security.SecurityException: 'Requested registry access is not allowed.' — I try to enable a sound device in C#. Tension: Just loading (reading) the key works, so the path is correct. Outcome: The same happens even if I run the C# program as Administrator.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

it fails with the following exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied. — when I make a sideloaded package. Tension: I tried to add various permissions, set full trust and even change the pipe name, this didn't help. Outcome: It looks like you want a packaged + full trust app so you must declare uap10:TrustLevel="mediumIL".

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I got nothing in the evt.etl file. Tension: Get-WinEvent : No events were found that match the specified selection criteria. Outcome: It turned out to be this provider is protected.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

it fails with `0x5 (Access denied)` — attempting to call `SetTokenInformation` on a duplicate primary token of the current process. Tension: I'm trying to create a child process with no privileges. Then I want to adjust the integrity level of the token to low. Outcome: the RID you are really looking for is SECURITY_MANDATORY_LOW_RID.
