Windows Process Injection into Commonly Abused Processes

This analytic detects process injection into commonly abused Windows executables using Sysmon EventCode 10. It identifies suspicious GrantedAccess requests (0x40, 0x1fffff, or 0x1f3fff) to processes such as notepad.exe, wordpad.exe, calc.exe, mspaint.exe, lsass.exe, svchost.exe, and web browsers, while excluding injections originating from common system paths like System32 and Program Files. This behavior is often associated with the SliverC2 framework. Monitoring this activity is crucial as it may indicate an initial payload attempting to execute malicious code, potentially leading to privilege escalation or persistent access.
