CONSTRAINED LANGUAGE MODE
DESCRIPTION
Constrained Language Mode is a setting in PowerShell that greatly limits what
commands can be performed. This can potentially reduce the available attack
surface to adversary's.
By default PowerShell runs in Full Language Mode which all functions are
available for use. This includes access to all language elements, cmdlets, and
modules, as well as the file system and the network.
Copy
# Check current language mode
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode
# Simple command to see if Constrained Language is enabled in current session
[System.Console]::WriteLine("ConstrainedModeTest")
Constrained Language mode can be set with the following commands.
Copy
# Set Language mode to Constrained (Current Session)
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode = "ConstrainedLanguage"
# Environmental Variable, all new sessions will start in Constrained Mode
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(‘__PSLockdownPolicy‘, ‘4’, ‘Machine‘)
From below we can see where Constrained Language mode, when enabled blocks a
simple download command.
Testing the Constrained Language mode.
BYPASS
Copy
# Bypass by starting new PS session
powershell.exe
# Bypass by downgrading version to PowerShell 2
Powershell.exe -version 2
# Attempt command execution with inline functions
&{hostname}
# If PowerShell V6 is installed try executing
pwsh
In the example below Constrained Language mode is set through an environmental
policy so every PowerShell session created will be in constrained mode. Starting
a PowerShell version 2 session bypasses the Constrained Language mode as shown
below.
Constrained Language mode was introduced in PowerShell version 3. As such it is
not applicable to version 2 PowerShell sessions.
Constrained Language mode is often enabled in environments that enforce
AppLocker
