This rule detects an unusually high number of command-line executions containing keywords related to 'dependency' or 'library' and 'update' or 'upgrade' within a one-hour window on a single computer. This behavior could indicate an adversary attempting to modify system components, install malicious libraries, or compromise the software supply chain by frequently updating or upgrading software dependencies.
