Detects a multi-stage process execution chain beginning with common end-user applications (browsers, Office apps, explorer.exe) spawning known LOLBins (Living-off-the-Land Binaries), which in turn execute secondary LOLBins with suspicious command-line indicators. This pattern often signifies post-exploitation activity such as secondary payload delivery, fileless malware execution, or proxy execution of malicious scripts/commands, consistent with ClickFix or BYOVD-related ingress techniques.

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.

This rule detects the execution of a malicious PowerShell command chain initiated by explorer.exe, consistent with the PlugX malware infection sequence. The detection monitors for specific command-line arguments, including the use of curl for file downloads, tar for extraction, and the launching of associated malicious executables like 'GRrte.exe' following the execution of a shortcut file named 'OIC_Invitation_General_Official.lnk'.

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.

This rule detects scenarios where an AI agent executes shell commands or system-level tools immediately after receiving a prompt injection attack from an untrusted source. It correlates agent audit logs—specifically identifying tool calls flagged for prompt injection—with actual endpoint process creation events. It flags process execution as 'High' severity if the command line matches common malicious patterns like encoded commands, IEX, or attempts to access credential material (e.g., lsass, mimikatz).

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.

This rule detects instances where mshta.exe acts as a parent process to initiate powershell.exe. It specifically looks for command line arguments that employ obfuscation techniques, such as character casing variations (e.g., 'POWERsHeLl'), while simultaneously excluding standard casing, combined with flags typical of non-interactive execution (e.g., -NonInteractive or /w h /c). This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to bypass security controls and execute scripts hidden from user view.

Detects the execution of the SIDEEYE backdoor (Ple64.exe) when it is spawned by web-based processes such as Java (WebLogic) or shell interpreters (cmd.exe/powershell.exe) invoked by web-based parents. This behavior is indicative of a web shell exploitation attempt.

001
Detects execution of shell commands (cmd, powershell) by processes associated with AvisLoader (e.g., 78324.exe, VLCAssistant.exe, auto.exe), followed by the creation or modification of files in suspicious user-writable directories (e.g., appdata, temp) within a 10-minute window, suggesting potential C2 activity and secondary payload staging.

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 AI coding assistants and LLM agent frameworks spawning shell processes or interpreters to execute potentially malicious commands. The rule monitors for suspicious activity often associated with download cradles, credential access, reconnaissance, or persistence, while excluding standard interactive terminal usage.

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.

Detects a multi-stage infection chain associated with RedFlick, involving the delivery of VHDX files or PDF attachments. The rule correlates malicious activities such as SSH-based tool download (using PermitLocalCommand), PowerShell-based PDF decoding/extraction, PowerShell VHDX disk mounting, and silent MSI installation from remote URLs. It monitors for these activities within user-writable directories like Downloads or Temp.

This rule detects instances where the Faronics Deploy Agent process initiates the installation or download of ScreenConnect remote access software via PowerShell or the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe). This pattern is often indicative of authorized RMM deployment, but it is also a common tactic for adversaries to establish persistent remote access to endpoints.
