The malware used the legitimate curl.exe to upload data to temp[.]sh. This is a high-fidelity indicator as legitimate business processes rarely upload data to ephemeral pastebins via command line.

Detects WinGUp (gup.exe) making network connections to domains other than the legitimate Notepad++ update infrastructure. Per Kevin Beaumont, gup.exe should only connect to notepad-plus-plus.org, github.com, and release-assets.githubusercontent.com.

This query hunts for the specific "reconnaissance batch" behavior observed in this campaign: a process piping netstat, systeminfo, or tasklist output into a text file (specifically a.txt as seen in the report, though looking for any single-letter text file is a good heuristic).

Detects the legitimate Notepad++ updater process (GUP.exe) spawning suspicious child processes. This behavior was observed during the Notepad++ supply chain attack where the updater was used to launch malicious payloads. The rule specifically looks for GUP.exe as the parent process and child processes with filenames like 'update.exe', 'install.exe', 'AutoUpdater.exe', 'curl.exe', or 'cmd.exe'.

This rule identifies the use of specific malicious code signing certificates by matching their SHA1 thumbprints against a predefined list. These certificates are known to be associated with various threat actors or malicious software, indicating potential supply chain compromise or the use of signed malware.

This rule detects indicators associated with the 'Office Assistant' supply chain attack. It identifies malicious browser extensions by their IDs in file paths or names, and also detects known malicious file MD5s and C2 communication domains. The rule correlates file events and network events to provide a comprehensive view of the attack.

This rule detects the presence of known malicious browser extensions on devices. It identifies extensions based on a curated list of Extension IDs associated with various threats, including Urban VPN, extensions that turned malicious, general malicious browser extensions, and those involved in Chrome extension supply chain attacks. The rule queries `DeviceTvmBrowserExtensions` to find any activated extensions matching these IDs.

This rule set detects several indicators of compromise related to the Shai-Hulud threat activity. It identifies specific malicious file hashes (SHA256) for 'bundle.js' files, the execution of the 'trufflehog' tool which is often abused for secrets discovery, the presence of a malicious YAML file named 'shai-hulud-workflow.yml', and network connections to 'webhook.site' domains, optionally with a specific URI, which are used for data exfiltration or command and control.

Detects process execution patterns associated with the "Sha1-Hulud: The Second Coming" NPM supply chain attack. This includes the silent installation of the 'bun' runtime during an 'npm install' and a destructive file shredding command. The rule filters out legitimate manual installations by developers by checking the initiating parent process.

This query detects execution of processes related to Visual Studio Code extension signing or caching that involve known Glassworm-compromised extensions. Based on indicators published by KOI (October 20, 2025), it identifies suspicious .vsix package operations potentially associated with self-propagating malicious VSCode extensions observed in OpenVSX and Microsoft VSCode marketplaces.

To extract vscode extension version I used this the https://detections.ai/rules/924f7b5f-d8df-4eed-ba06-08c657f65891.
