Multi-Stage Script Extraction Chain
Detects the simultaneous extraction of at least three different script types (VBS, PS1, JS, or DAT) from archives, followed by their execution by their respective interpreters (wscript.exe, powershell.exe, node.exe, or bun.exe). This behavior is indicative of multi-stage attacks where adversaries use various scripting languages for different phases of their operations, often to evade detection or to ensure compatibility across different system configurations. The inclusion of '.dat' files suggests that the rule is also looking for potentially obfuscated or custom script formats that are then interpreted by one of the listed executables.
