The following analytic detects the use of mavinject.exe for DLL injection into running processes, identified by specific command-line parameters such as /INJECTRUNNING and /HMODULE. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line executions. This activity is significant because it indicates potential arbitrary code execution, a common tactic for malware deployment and persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute unauthorized code, escalate privileges, and maintain persistence within the environment, posing a severe security risk.

Detects the execution of Microsoft Application Virtualization Injector (mavinject.exe) with the '/injectrunning' command-line argument. This utility is frequently abused by adversaries to inject malicious DLLs into target processes, facilitating arbitrary code execution while potentially bypassing security detections due to the binary's legitimate provenance.

Detects the execution of mavinject.exe with the /INJECTRUNNING command-line argument. This utility is a signed Microsoft binary that can be abused by adversaries to inject arbitrary DLLs into the address space of running processes, a technique often used to evade detection or achieve code execution.

Detects the execution of a renamed version of the "Mavinject" process. Mavinject.exe is a legitimate Microsoft utility that can be abused to perform process injection, often using the "/INJECTRUNNING" flag. This rule specifically looks for instances where the original file name (mavinject32.exe or mavinject64.exe) does not match the executed image name, indicating a potential rename for defense evasion.

Detects suspicious execution of "PDQDeployRunner" which is part of the PDQDeploy service stack that is responsible for executing commands and packages on remote machines. The rule specifically looks for PDQDeployRunner spawning suspicious child processes, executing commands with suspicious arguments, or executing from suspicious paths, which could indicate abuse for malicious purposes.
