This rule detects HTTP traffic where the URI contains ".sct" (scriptlet) in a case-insensitive manner. This is indicative of an attempt to download a scriptlet, which can be used by MSHTA (Microsoft HTML Application host) for defense evasion, often to execute malicious code.

This rule detects the download of JavaScript (.js) or HTML Application (.hta) files followed by the execution of scripting interpreters like mshta, cscript, wscript, node, or powershell with encoded commands on the same device within a one-hour window. It assigns a score based on the count of downloaded files and executed scripts, triggering an alert if the combined score exceeds 2. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious script execution, often seen in initial access or execution phases of an attack.

This detection identifies suspicious child process execution spawned from Notepad++ (notepad++.exe), which may indicate exploitation attempts related to CVE-2026-48778 and CVE-2026-48800. These vulnerabilities involve potential arbitrary code execution through malicious manipulation of Notepad++ configuration (config.xml) and shortcut (shortcuts.xml) files.

The rule detects abnormal execution of system binaries such as PowerShell, CMD, MSHTA, Rundll32, and Regsvr32 launched from Notepad++, which is not expected in normal user activity. Such behavior may indicate successful exploitation, plugin abuse, or post-exploitation execution triggered via malicious configuration or user interaction.

This detection is intended for identifying early indicators of code execution chains originating from Notepad++.

This rule detects instances where PowerShell (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe) spawns suspicious child processes. The suspicious child processes include certutil.exe, mshta.exe, rundll32.exe, curl.exe, wget.exe, wscript.exe, cscript.exe, bitsadmin.exe, regsvr32.exe, msiexec.exe, and cmd.exe. The rule also includes a join to ensure the parent PowerShell process was launched by explorer.exe, which can help filter out some automated or administrative PowerShell activities.
