This rule monitors for scenarios where multiple common GUI applications (such as browsers, explorer, or notepad) are executed in rapid succession (within 2 minutes) from suspicious directories commonly associated with malware staging (e.g., Temp, AppData, or Downloads). This pattern is often indicative of an adversary executing a malicious payload, such as a multi-stage dropper or a file-based installer masquerading as legitimate software.

Detects instances of PowerShell being launched directly by explorer.exe with command-line arguments indicative of malicious activity, specifically the 'ClickFix' pattern where users are social-engineered to copy/paste malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog.

This rule detects suspicious file downloads initiated by common browsers from a specific remote domain ('reficon.pro') associated with '/vizio.com/'. It enriches this activity by checking for prior beaconing activity to 'stats.us3.org' (often used for Matomo analytics), which may indicate a multi-stage attack where an initial profiling beacon precedes a malicious payload download.

Correlates email delivery, URL click telemetry, endpoint network connections, and process execution evidence for one or more suspicious URLs or domains.

This query helps analysts identify who received an email containing a target URL, who clicked it, whether the URL was observed on managed endpoints, which devices were involved, and what processes initiated related network or command-line activity.

It is useful for phishing investigations, malicious URL exposure reviews, post-delivery impact checks, campaign scoping, and confirming whether a user interaction led to endpoint activity.

The query uses Microsoft Defender XDR advanced hunting tables including EmailUrlInfo, EmailEvents, UrlClickEvents, DeviceNetworkEvents, and DeviceProcessEvents. Microsoft documents UrlClickEvents as containing Safe Links click information from email messages, Teams, and Office apps, populated by Defender for Office 365.

Detects the execution of Windows processes where the file's web-origin metadata (Mark-of-the-Web) contains a referrer URL pointing to the public GitHub Desktop repository. This rule serves as a provenance and threat hunting signal to track the origin of binaries executed in the environment, identifying software potentially derived from this specific source repository.

This rule detects potentially malicious child processes spawned by LOLBins (Living Off the Land Binaries) like mshta.exe, wscript.exe, cscript.exe, rundll32.exe, or regsvr32.exe, which were themselves initiated by document applications (e.g., Office, Acrobat) or common shell interpreters. It specifically identifies downstream payloads that are either unsigned or signed by non-trusted publishers, filtering out Microsoft and common third-party software signers.

Detects the creation of suspicious file types (.txt, .esd) within Windows Update (WSUS) content or download directories, specifically when initiated by standard Windows update-related processes (wuauclt.exe, TrustedInstaller.exe, or svchost.exe). This pattern may indicate an attempt to blend malicious activity with legitimate update mechanisms or an abuse of update file paths for payload delivery.

Detects an inbound Microsoft Teams call or chat using a known STAC4749 helpdesk-impersonation persona display name, a caller UPN on a known STAC4749 .top IT-themed domain, or a source IP previously observed originating STAC4749 vishing calls.

Detects creation of a .lnk file on a removable/non-system drive letter (D: through Z:) whose launching process command line references mshta.exe, consistent with CountLoader's USB-worming propagation technique observed in the DOUBLECUP LaaS campaigns.

Detects a browser process (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, brave.exe) writing a new, previously-unseen executable to a Downloads/Temp/Cache path and then launching that same executable within minutes — the terminal behavior of SourTrade's in-browser malware assembly pipeline, consistent with local execution of the JSCEAL (WeevilProxy) stealer payload.
