Windows InstallUtil URL in Command Line

The analytic detects the use of Windows InstallUtil.exe with an HTTP or HTTPS URL in the command line. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to download and execute malicious code, potentially bypassing application control mechanisms. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized code execution, privilege escalation, or persistent access within the environment.
