This rule detects suspicious file renaming activities indicative of ransomware. It specifically looks for files that previously had common document extensions (.doc, .xls, .ppt) being renamed to extensions commonly associated with encryption by ransomware (.encrypted, .locked, .crypted, .ecc). The rule triggers if 20 or more such renames occur within a 5-minute window on a single device.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of the TieringEngineService.exe executable within the System32 directory. This activity is associated with the RedSun exploit (CVE-2026-41091), which leverages Defender remediation redirection to plant a malicious binary. The rule specifically filters out legitimate Windows update operations originating from the WinSxS directory to reduce false positives.

Detects creation or manipulation of the ROTATE subdirectory within the Skylight Metrics Agent path by non-SYSTEM accounts. CVE-2026-7791 exploitation requires replacing the legitimate ROTATE directory with a junction point targeting the attacker's desired write location. The Skylight service then follows the junction during its log rotation, writing attacker-controlled files to the target with SYSTEM privileges. Any non-SYSTEM interaction with this specific path warrants investigation.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by monitoring for a high volume of file creation or renaming events where the new file names end with common ransomware extensions such as '.encrypted', '.locked', or '.crypted'. It aggregates these events over 5-minute intervals and triggers if 50 or more such files are observed on a single device.

This detection identifies suspicious child process execution spawned from Notepad++ (notepad++.exe), which may indicate exploitation attempts related to CVE-2026-48778 and CVE-2026-48800. These vulnerabilities involve potential arbitrary code execution through malicious manipulation of Notepad++ configuration (config.xml) and shortcut (shortcuts.xml) files.

The rule detects abnormal execution of system binaries such as PowerShell, CMD, MSHTA, Rundll32, and Regsvr32 launched from Notepad++, which is not expected in normal user activity. Such behavior may indicate successful exploitation, plugin abuse, or post-exploitation execution triggered via malicious configuration or user interaction.

This detection is intended for identifying early indicators of code execution chains originating from Notepad++.

This rule detects the creation, writing, or renaming of specific files associated with the compromised Axios npm package versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4. Upon installation, the postinstall script of these compromised packages deploys dropper scripts to download and install a remote access trojan on Mac, Linux, or Windows endpoints. The rule specifically looks for file paths indicative of these dropper activities across different operating systems.
