This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Windows 7 zero-day for CVE-2019-0808
CVE-2019-0808 is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to escape the Windows security sandbox and run arbitrary code with admin privileges. This vulnerability affects Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Exploits for CVE-2019-0808 were first observed as part of highly selective attacks using the Nufsys backdoor. Although the Nufsys-associated exploit was first described as a zero-day, the issue has since been patched.
The following query detects possible CVE-2019-0808 exploitation by finding suspicious file creation events associated with Nufsys.

This query helps reviewing malware detections by detection methods
This rule detects suspicious command-line executions on Windows systems, as identified in a CISA 'Living off the Land' report. The rule looks for specific patterns in process command lines that, while potentially benign in isolation, could indicate reconnaissance, lateral movement, or data staging activities when observed in concert. Examples include the use of 7-Zip for archiving with a password, specific `pcwrun.exe` or `rar.exe` commands, `ping` commands with unusual parameters or output redirection, `dir` commands targeting network shares, `wmic` commands for process creation or `whoami` execution, `net use` commands for IPC shares, `xcopy` for data movement, and PowerShell commands to launch hidden batch files.
The analytic detects the deletion of service files on a Linux machine within system directories (e.g., /etc/systemd/, /lib/systemd/, /run/systemd/). This activity is significant because attackers may delete or modify services to disable security features, evade defenses, impair system functionality, or execute a destructive payload. Immediate investigation is required to determine the responsible process and user.
The following analytic detects the deletion of cron jobs on a Linux machine. It leverages filesystem event logs to identify when files within the "/etc/cron.*" directory are deleted. This activity is significant because attackers or malware may delete cron jobs to disable scheduled security tasks or evade detection mechanisms. If confirmed malicious, this action could allow an attacker to disrupt system operations, evade security measures, or facilitate further malicious activities such as data wiping, as seen with the acidrain malware.
The following analytic detects a high frequency of file deletions in the /boot/ folder on Linux systems. It leverages filesystem event logs to identify when 200 or more files are deleted within an hour by the same process. This behavior is significant as it may indicate the presence of wiper malware, such as Industroyer2, which targets critical system directories. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to system instability or failure, hindering the boot process and potentially causing a complete system compromise.
The following analytic detects the deletion of init daemon scripts on a Linux machine. It leverages filesystem event logs to identify when files within the /etc/init.d/ directory are deleted. This activity is significant because init daemon scripts control the start and stop of critical services, and their deletion can indicate an attempt to impair security features or evade defenses. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to disrupt essential services, execute destructive payloads, or persist undetected in the environment.
The following analytic detects a high frequency of file deletions in the /etc/ folder on Linux systems. It leverages the Endpoint.Filesystem data model to identify instances where 200 or more files are deleted within an hour, grouped by process name and process ID. This behavior is significant as it may indicate the presence of wiper malware, such as AcidRain, which aims to delete critical system files. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to severe system instability, data loss, and potential disruption of services.
The analytic detects the deletion of SSL certificates on a Linux machine. It leverages filesystem event logs to identify when files with extensions .pem or .crt are deleted from the /etc/ssl/certs/ directory. This activity is significant because attackers may delete or modify SSL certificates to disable security features or evade defenses on a compromised system. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could indicate an attempt to disrupt secure communications, evade detection, or execute a destructive payload, potentially leading to significant security breaches and data loss.
The following analytic detects the deletion of Linux service unit configuration files by suspicious processes. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on processes executing the 'rm' command targeting '.service' files. This activity is significant as it may indicate malware attempting to disable critical services or security products, a common defense evasion tactic. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to service disruption, security tool incapacitation, or complete system compromise, severely impacting the integrity and availability of the affected Linux host.
Yara rule that detects AutoColor backdoor.
Detects the deletion of files by the Sysinternals SDelete utility. It looks for the common name pattern used to rename files before deletion, specifically files ending with '.AAA' or '.ZZZ'.
Detects the execution of specific processes and command line combinations associated with the Forest Blizzard APT group. This includes the creation and deletion of scheduled tasks using 'schtasks.exe' and PowerShell commands for file operations, as described by Microsoft.
This rule detects potential secure deletion activity using SDelete by monitoring Windows Security Event IDs 4656, 4663, and 4658 for file objects ending with '.AAA' or '.ZZZ'. These extensions are commonly associated with SDelete's file wiping process, where it renames files with these extensions during secure deletion to prevent recovery.
Detects a PowerShell script used by Lace Tempest APT to erase evidence from victim servers by exploiting CVE-2023-47246 as reported by SysAid Team. The script specifically targets files related to 'usersfiles.war' and 'SysAidServer' within a Tomcat directory, indicating an attempt to clean up traces of an intrusion or exploit.
