Windows Credentials Access via VaultCli Module from Writable Path
This analytic detects suspicious loading of the `vaultcli.dll` module by processes executing from publicly writable Windows directories. `vaultcli.dll` is known to be abused by information stealers, such as Meduza, to extract credentials from the Windows Credential Vault. The rule monitors for `ImageLoaded` events (Sysmon EventID 7) where `vaultcli.dll` is loaded by a process whose path is within common temporary, public, or other writable system directories. This behavior indicates potential credential theft attempts by malicious software.
