Detects any file write event in a user's Downloads folder on Windows endpoints, covering every CrowdStrike Falcon Written event type.
Downloads is a common landing spot for payloads from phishing links and drive-by downloads. This is the broad version of the PE file rule and includes it, so it is very noisy and suits threat hunting or investigation pivots more than alerting. To triage, review the event type, file name, writing process, hash and company name.

Detects the presence of the compromised anthropic.claude-code VS Code extension version 2.1.313 or its associated bad hash on disk, reverse SSH tunneling spawned by code editors or extension hosts, and network connections to known malicious C2 IP address 134.209.82.225.
Detects a VS Code-family editor or extension host modifying ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, or shell commands appending the svc-telemetry label / embedded Ed25519 key, as used by the trojanized anthropic.claude-code extension.
Detects SSH backdoor artifacts of a trojanized Claude Code editor extension: connections to the tunnel host, reverse SSH forwards to local port 22 and dropped persistence files. Needs Defender for Endpoint network, process and file events and covers only published indicators. The query ran without errors in a live tenant.
Detects potential remote code execution, web shell activity, and post-exploitation behaviors originating from PHP worker processes on internet-facing hosts, referencing patterns associated with php2shell vulnerabilities. PHP-UP-2026
Detects executable files saved to user-writable profile folders (Desktop, Downloads, Documents and similar) on Windows endpoints when the file has no company name in its PE version information. Commercial software almost always carries this field, while malware, masqueraded tools and quick custom builds often do not. Detection relies on file signature rather than extension. Portable utilities and internal tools also match, so triage by hash, writing process, file path and download source.
Detects persistence mechanisms installed by the trojanized Claude Code extension on Cursor or Node-based applications. On macOS, it detects the creation of LaunchAgent property list files. On Windows, it detects scheduled tasks created via schtasks.exe or event logs, and modifications to the Startup folder.
Detects DLL files written to user-writable profile folders (Desktop, Downloads, Documents and similar) on Windows endpoints. Attackers use these folders to stage a malicious DLL next to a legitimate executable, often from a phishing archive, so the executable loads it via DLL side-loading. Events are grouped by endpoint and path with DLL names, vendor, SHA-256 and the writing process. Installers and portable apps also match, so triage by hash, vendor, writing process and download source.
Detects Sysinternals executables written to disk on Windows endpoints, identified by the Sysinternals company name in the PE metadata of newly written EXE files. These are legitimate admin utilities, but attackers also copy them to hosts for discovery, process inspection and credential access. The rule shows tool presence only, not misuse, so it suits inventory and hunting. To triage, review the file path, hash, writing process and whether the user is an administrator.
Detects Portable Executable (PE) files written to a user's Downloads folder on Windows endpoints. CrowdStrike identifies PE files by file signature, so renamed or extensionless executables are caught as well as .exe files. Downloads is a common landing spot for payloads from phishing links and drive-by downloads. Most hits are legitimate installers, so use the rule for hunting or as a pivot. To triage, review the file name, company name, hash, writing process and download source.
Detects the correlation of a file creation event in the user Temp folder (such as t.vbs) originating from browser cache or download patterns, followed shortly by the execution of the script via wscript.exe or cscript.exe.
Detects an executable running from the C:\Windows\ directory (excluding known benign applications) that establishes two or more distinct persistence mechanisms within a short timeframe, such as scheduled tasks, registry run keys, or startup folder shortcuts.
Detects a file creation event for any executable inside the "tmphtml" staging
directory beneath the AOMEI Backupper installation path, where the creating process
is Backupper.exe. The application stages popup resources here before relocating them
to html\; a genuine promotional bundle contains no executables, so an .exe written
to this path indicates a tampered bundle.

Detects post-exploitation activity targeting PaperCut servers, including shells spawned by the PaperCut Java process or the creation of malicious files (such as .class files in lib/ or .txt webshells in custom/web/) by the Java application.
Detects Salat Stealer dropping and executing copies of Lightshot.exe in trusted directories such as Windows NT, Edge, and Chrome application paths, as well as process spawn chains involving masqueraded Lightshot executables.
Detects the sequence where a private key file is written to the host followed by the execution of ssh.exe with parameters indicating a reverse port forwarding tunnel (-R), an identity file (-i), and background execution (-N or -f) within a 30-minute window.
Detects files written under Magento pub/media/custom_options/quote by a web server or PHP process, and flags when a subsequent process command line references the uploaded file, indicating potential web shell activity.
Detects node or agent-initiated npm installation commands (such as npm install or npm i) executed within 24 hours of creating or modifying a developer assistant instruction file (such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules) in common user directories like Downloads, Desktop, or Temp.
The detection targets these behaviours:
- Attempts to take ownership of or replace explorer.exe and gpedit.msc.
- Changes to Microsoft Edge's Image File Execution Options (IFEO) debugger.
- Changes to HTTP, HTTPS, HTML, and Microsoft Edge protocol handlers.
- Disabling Explorer's Run command and changing keyboard scancode mappings.
- Creation of temporary VBScript files used for relaunching, elevation prompts, or deceptive messages

Detects the presence of Tailscale binaries (tailscale.exe, tailscaled.exe) on a device within 24 hours of other campaign-specific toolkit components such as kitanai.exe, nandemo.exe, ufw.exe, or upd-ms.bat, indicating potential unauthorized remote access setup.
