Detects the execution of Winrs.exe where it is used to execute commands locally.
Commands executed this way are launched under Winrshost.exe and can represent proxy execution used for defense evasion or lateral movement.

Detects the execution of "Wlrmdr.exe" with the "-u" command line flag which allows anything passed to it to be an argument of the ShellExecute API, which would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary binaries.
This detection also focuses on any uncommon child processes spawned from "Wlrmdr.exe" as a supplement for those that posses "ParentImage" telemetry.

Detects suspicious process execution chains involving 'regsvr32.exe' followed by 'mshta.exe', 'powershell.exe', or 'rundll32.exe', especially when 'regsvr32.exe' is launched from common user download or application data directories. This pattern is often indicative of malware execution or living-off-the-land techniques.

Detects suspicious command-line executions involving common Windows system binaries (rundll32.exe, mshta.exe, certutil.exe, wmic.exe) combined with keywords often associated with network communication or data transfer (http, https, base64, /transfer). This pattern can indicate attempts at downloading malicious payloads, exfiltrating data, or executing encoded commands.

This rule is meant to help analysts quickly spot a high-confidence indicator related to Google WinRAR CVE-2025-8088 Exploitation. It is written to be easy to understand and to keep false alarms low by focusing on a very specific match: WinRAR launching a command shell or scripting engine. A match does not automatically prove an attacker is currently active, and it does not prove a file was executed, but it does mean the event is important because it lines up with a public threat intelligence source. When this triggers, start by identifying the host, user, and timeframe involved, then decide whether the activity is expected for that system. If it is unexpected, preserve the related logs and any files, and look for nearby events that could explain how the indicator appeared, such as a download, a new process, or a new connection. If the same indicator appears on multiple systems, treat it as a scoping signal and expand the investigation window. Use the reference link (https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/exploiting-critical-winrar- vulnerability) to document where the indicator came from and to support incident notes and reporting.

This rule set detects various activities associated with the Dohdoor malware campaign (UAT-10027). It includes detection for known malware hashes, suspicious network communication patterns such as DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to Cloudflare with specific user agents, staging URL patterns, and odd-cased infrastructure domains. Additionally, it identifies endpoint activities like curl downloading batch/command files and DLL sideloading attempts using specific DLL names and LOLBins executed from common public writeable directories. The intent is to provide strong leads for investigation into potential Dohdoor infections.
