Unquoted Service Path Exploit via SMB File Drop
This rule detects an attempt to exploit an unquoted service path vulnerability via an SMB file drop. Specifically, it looks for SMB traffic to port 445 on the home network containing the strings "Program Files" and ".exe" (case-insensitive). This pattern suggests an attacker might be dropping an executable file into a directory within "Program Files" that is part of an unquoted service path, which could lead to arbitrary code execution upon service restart.
