Suspicious Encoded Payloads in WMI Event Consumers
Detects suspicious encoded payloads within WMI Event Consumers. This rule specifically looks for base64 encoded strings containing keywords commonly associated with process injection or executable characteristics, such as 'WriteProcessMemory', 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode', and 'This program must be run under Win32'. The presence of these strings in a WMI event consumer's destination property suggests an attempt to establish persistence or execute malicious code via WMI.
