WinGet DSC Service Resource Persistence - sc.exe or New-Service via ConfigurationRemotingServer
Detects the creation of new Windows services through suspicious or unexpected process chains. This includes services spawned by WinGet/DSC components, services created by sc.exe where the process path points to user-writable directories (e.g., Temp, AppData, User profiles), or system event logs (Event ID 7045) indicating service installation from non-standard locations. This rule is designed to identify potential persistence mechanisms or privilege escalation attempts involving unauthorized service creation.
