Detects executable files saved to user-writable profile folders (Desktop, Downloads, Documents and similar) on Windows endpoints when the file has no company name in its PE version information. Commercial software almost always carries this field, while malware, masqueraded tools and quick custom builds often do not. Detection relies on file signature rather than extension. Portable utilities and internal tools also match, so triage by hash, writing process, file path and download source.

Detects Portable Executable (PE) files written to a user's Downloads folder on Windows endpoints. CrowdStrike identifies PE files by file signature, so renamed or extensionless executables are caught as well as .exe files. Downloads is a common landing spot for payloads from phishing links and drive-by downloads. Most hits are legitimate installers, so use the rule for hunting or as a pivot. To triage, review the file name, company name, hash, writing process and download source.

Detects Microsoft Word (winword.exe) spawning the Windows command shell (cmd.exe) to execute batch scripts (.bat or .cmd files). This behavior is commonly associated with malicious document macros attempting to drop and execute secondary payloads, excluding common system paths to reduce false positives.

Detects when common office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, etc.) or archive utilities/PDF readers spawn command-line interpreters or scripting engines (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe, etc.), which is a common indicator of phishing document execution or malicious archive extraction.

Detects a renamed PSF-signed pythonw.exe (with an original file name of pythonw.exe but a different on-disk name) launched from a user-writable path under Users. The command line consists only of its own path, which is consistent with ._pth based path configuration abuse for loading attacker code stealthily.

Detects process creation events where common Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) or archive/reader utilities (Acrobat, WinRAR, 7-Zip) act as the parent process to command-line interpreters, scripting engines, or administrative tools (such as cmd, powershell, wscript, cscript, mshta, rundll32, and others). This behavior is commonly associated with phishing attacks, macro execution, or exploitation of file formats leading to code execution.

Hunting query, not intended as a scheduled alert.

Tested in a live Sentinel tenant with a test file. Copilot Cowork and Claude Code folder conventions not validated with live events; the Tool column is a label only and does not filter results. Matches files named SKILL.md in OneDrive and SharePoint only; local-only files and marketplace plugin skills are not visible.
