Windows MOF Event Triggered Execution via WMI
This analytic detects the execution of `mofcomp.exe` loading a MOF file, particularly when initiated by `cmd.exe` or `powershell.exe`, or when `mofcomp.exe` is executed from unusual paths such as user profile directories (`*\AppData\Local\*` or `*\Users\Public\*`). This activity is significant because adversaries often use WMI for persistence or lateral movement. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, persistence, or privilege escalation within the environment.
