Detects execution of Coder-related processes or scripts where sensitive configuration parameters, such as database credentials or authentication tokens, are passed via command-line arguments. This behavior can lead to the exposure of credentials to other users or processes on the system through process listing.

Detects execution of netsh.exe when launched from unexpected parent processes (tapctl.exe or openvpnserv.exe) from locations other than the standard System32 or SysWOW64 directories. This pattern is indicative of potential malicious activity or persistence via Netsh helper DLLs masquerading or executing via non-standard paths.

This rule detects the use of 'mshta.exe' to execute a file from a remote location by inspecting the command line for 'http' protocols and a specific suspicious domain. Adversaries often abuse mshta.exe to proxy the execution of malicious HTML Application (HTA) files or scripts to bypass security controls.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line arguments (e.g., encoded commands, hidden windows) initiated by mshta.exe, excluding instances where a .ps1 script file is involved. This pattern often indicates attempts to bypass execution policy or run obfuscated payloads in memory, which is a common behavior of malicious HTA files.

Detects suspicious execution of PowerShell or Mshta spawned from Explorer.exe. It looks for specific malicious indicators including references to known malicious domains, PowerShell encoding flags, hidden window arguments, or Mshta HTTP requests, which are common patterns for fileless malware or dropper execution.

Detects instances where OpenVPN service binaries (openvpn.exe or openvpnserv.exe) spawn command-line interpreters (cmd.exe or powershell.exe) with suspicious command-line characters or potentially unbalanced quotes. This behavior may indicate an attempt to leverage OpenVPN for code execution or persistence, often seen in environments where VPN configurations are manipulated to run arbitrary scripts.

Detects anomalous child process creation (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, rundll32.exe) spawned by the VMware host process 'vmware-vmx.exe'. This behavioral pattern is a high-confidence indicator of potential guest-to-host virtual machine escape, specifically monitoring for activity associated with vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-59346.

Detects the creation or modification of specific dropper/loader files and service worker registration within WordPress directory structures (wp-content/plugins, wp-content/themes, wp-content/uploads). These files are often associated with the injection of malicious scripts (e.g., on-chain resolvers) to facilitate drive-by compromises by site visitors.

Detects suspicious file transfer and subsequent execution activity associated with the ScreenConnect (ConnectWise Control) remote access application, which may indicate exploitation of file-transfer vulnerabilities. The rule monitors for ScreenConnect processes dropping executable or script files to disk followed by the spawning of command interpreters to execute those files.
