40 detections

This rule detects instances where a web browser (Chrome, MS Edge, Firefox, or Brave) spawns a command prompt (cmd.exe) with a suspicious command line. The command line is characterized by containing a long string (at least 40 characters) within the user's temporary directory (%temp% or \temp\) and multiple command separators (&&, & rem, tar -xf, or rundll32). This pattern is indicative of the 'ClickFix' attack, often involving malicious copy-pasting from a browser into a command prompt.

This rule detects the creation of a file named 'notepadplusplus.dll' within the Microsoft Windows roaming profile path (specifically, 'appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows'). This activity is suspicious as it indicates an attempt to masquerade a malicious DLL as a legitimate one, potentially for DLL hijacking or persistence, by placing it in a location that might be searched by legitimate applications.

This rule detects the creation of Electron application files (electron.exe, app.asar, index.js, package.json) in unusual AppData\Local subdirectories by processes identified as UtilifySetup or Inno Setup. It leverages causality information to link the file creation to the installer process, aiming to identify potentially malicious Electron-based applications installed by suspicious installers.

Detects attempts by Electron or Node.js applications to establish persistence by creating or modifying Run or RunOnce registry keys. The rule specifically looks for applications located within the AppData\Local directory, which is a common technique for malware or unwanted applications to maintain execution across system reboots. This rule leverages UDM for principal and target context to aid in correlation.

Detects when a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave) spawns `cmd.exe` with a command line that includes a temporary directory path and specific command separators, indicating potential malicious copy-paste activity or drive-by compromise. The rule looks for a long command containing `&&`, `& rem`, `tar -xf`, or `rundll32` within the temporary directory.

This rule detects the creation of a file named 'notepadplusplus.dll' within the Microsoft Windows roaming profile path (AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows). This activity is suspicious as Notepad++ DLLs are not typically found in this location and could indicate an attempt at DLL side-loading or other forms of execution hijacking.

Detects outbound network connections initiated by Electron or Node.js processes that are launched from non-standard subdirectories within the AppData\Local path. This rule specifically excludes common legitimate applications like Microsoft programs, Slack, and Discord. The detection aims to identify potentially malicious Electron or Node.js applications attempting C2 communication or other unauthorized network activity from an unexpected location.

This rule detects suspicious JavaScript or HTML files that attempt to cloak browser fingerprints by manipulating WebGL renderer information, timezone settings, touch support, and tampering with the browser console or developer tools. It specifically looks for the co-occurrence of keywords related to these techniques within file names or the effective username associated with the file event.

Detects the specific sequence of commands used in the ClickFix FakeCaptcha attack, moving a ZIP from Downloads, extracting it via tar, and silently executing a batch file. This rule looks for `cmd.exe` processes that contain `move`, `Downloads`, `tar`, `start`, `-xf`, and `/min` in their command line, along with specific payload filenames like `update.zip`, `u.zip`, or `update.bat`.

Detects PowerShell utilizing Invoke-WebRequest (iwr) to download a payload and subsequently executing it via Start-Process using rundll32 with the specific 'Begin' export function. This execution pattern is the primary secondary stage for the recent Ghost CMS ClickFix campaigns delivering information stealers.
