This detection identifies the execution of suspicious shell commands (such as download cradles, reverse shells, or unexpected GUI applications like Calculator) spawned as child processes of the Claude Code CLI ('claude'). This activity is indicative of potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) through the exploitation of malicious hooks in `.claude/settings.json` or malicious MCP server commands, as described in CVE-2025-59536.

Detects the Microsoft Edge WebView2 process (msedgewebview2.exe) being spawned by suspicious parent processes that typically do not use embedded web content, such as PowerShell, CMD, or common lolbins. This activity is a key indicator of the 'AI-Proxy' technique where malware uses WebView2 to programmatically interact with AI web interfaces for C2.

Detects the execution of 'cmd.exe' initiated by common Microsoft Office applications, scripting engines, or msiexec.exe, where the command line includes 'curl' for downloading a '.pdf' file and also attempts to delete files using 'del /s /q'. This behavior is often associated with initial access, download of malicious payloads, and cleanup activities by adversaries. The rule specifically looks for command lines that interact with 'Users\Public', 'conhost.exe', or use the '--headless' flag, which can indicate automated or background execution.

In this campaign, the threat actor leveraged specially crafted Microsoft RTF files to exploit CVE-2026-21509 and deliver malicious backdoors in a multi-stage infection chain. Due to significant overlaps in tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) between this campaign and those of the Russia-linked advanced persistent threat (APT) group APT28, we attribute this new campaign to APT28 with high confidence. Microsoft released an out-of-band update to address CVE-2026-21509 on January 26, 2026. ThreatLabz observed active in-the-wild exploitation on January 29, 2026.
