This rule detects attempts to collect data from the clipboard on macOS systems by executing the 'osascript' binary with arguments that indicate clipboard interaction. Specifically, it looks for command lines containing 'osascript', ' -e ', and 'clipboard'. This combination suggests an AppleScript or JavaScript for Automation (JXA) command being executed to access clipboard contents.

This rule detects the execution of 'osacompile' with the '-x' and '-e' flags, which indicates the compilation of a run-only AppleScript. Run-only AppleScripts are compiled scripts that cannot be easily decompiled or inspected, making them a potential method for adversaries to obfuscate malicious code and evade analysis. The '-x' flag compiles the script as execute-only, and '-e' specifies the script source.

This rule detects the execution of AppleScript or JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts on macOS systems. It specifically looks for the 'osascript' utility being used with command-line arguments that indicate direct script execution ('-e') or the execution of script files with '.scpt' (AppleScript) or '.js' (JavaScript/JXA) extensions. This activity can be indicative of an adversary using scripting interpreters for execution.
