Detects the initial stage of the Meow RAT ClickFix campaign, specifically targeting fileless zsh loaders. This rule identifies command-line executions involving 'zsh', 'bash', or 'sh' that combine 'eval', 'base64', 'gzip', and either 'curl' or 'osascript', often with redirection to /dev/null. This pattern is indicative of a gzip+base64 encoded heredoc being fetched via curl and executed in memory, followed by osascript for further actions.
