Detects potential FileFix attacks where a web browser spawns a suspicious child process (e.g., command prompt, PowerShell, MSHTA) via the file upload dialog's address bar.
Enhancement:
This query correlates two queries to find cases where a user accessed RunMRU and then executed a suspicious PowerShell command.

RMU flags are added to get more close records mapped with Registry Access to RunMRU (Clipboard Paste via Run Dialog) Copy Clipboard data.

Detects URLs that use the `https://user@host` syntax where the 'user' part is crafted to look like a legitimate domain (e.g., `https://example.com@malicious-site.net`). This is a technique used by the Jingle Thief group (also tracked as Atlas Lion and STORM-0539) to craft convincing phishing links.

Detects a process execution where the parent process is explorer.exe and its command line indicates it is launching an LNK file from within a ZIP archive. This is a common TTP for initial access, where users are tricked into opening malicious LNK files embedded in ZIP archives. This version specifically looks for rundll32.exe as the child process, which is a common technique for proxy execution.

CyberSecurityNews has reported a raising case about a new wave of phishing emails masquerading as breach notifications from LastPass.

To summarise, these emails claim that the recipient’s account has been compromised and urge them to download a “security patch” to restore access.
In reality, the attached file is a sophisticated malware loader built to steal credentials and deploy additional malicious payloads onto the victim’s system.

Each phishing message includes a ZIP attachment named 'LastPass_Security_Update' that contains an executable disguised as an MSI installer. When executed, the fake MSI installs a PowerShell script into the user’s AppData folder and schedules it to run via a scheduled task. The script then contacts a remote command-and-control server to download a second-stage payload capable of keylogging, taking screenshots, and moving laterally within corporate networks.

This following KQL Query is based on the IOA where the emails arrive with a .zip file attached and it content is a msi file. Using IOA instead the IOC (LastPass_Security_Update .zip) is more feasible because the malicious actors could easily change the zip name and the detection would not detect the mentioned threat.

Detects successful authentication attempts originating from clients using legacy authentication methods, identifiable via specific user agent strings. This activity can indicate an adversary attempting to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA), potentially as part of a password spray attack. Legacy authentication protocols often do not support modern MFA mechanisms, making them a target for attackers who have obtained valid credentials through other means or are performing brute-force attacks like password spraying.

Detects internal phishing emails with subject lines mimicking IT service notifications, such as from ServiceNow. This is a tactic used by the Jingle Thief group (also tracked as Atlas Lion and STORM-0539) for lateral movement within a compromised organization.

Detects a successful login to the Microsoft Intune Company Portal which could allow bypassing Conditional Access Policies and InTune device trust using a tool like TokenSmith. The rule specifically looks for 'UserLoggedIn' operations with 'Success' status for the Microsoft Intune Company Portal ApplicationId, while excluding a specific ObjectId often associated with mobile device enrollment to reduce false positives.

Detects when Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS) reports a risky sign-in attempt due to an impossible travel scenario. This indicates a potential compromise of user credentials where an attacker logs in from a geographically distant location in a short timeframe, making physical travel impossible.

This rule detects activities performed by the AWS root account. The root account has unrestricted access to all resources in an AWS account, making its usage a critical security event that often indicates a potential compromise, misconfiguration, or a highly privileged operation that should be closely monitored. The rule specifically looks for events where the 'userIdentity.type' is 'Root' and excludes 'AwsServiceEvent' to filter out automated AWS service activities that might legitimately use root permissions internally.

This rule detects the modification of the Windows Registry to install or configure Chrome VPN extensions. Specifically, it looks for changes to the 'Software\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions' registry path where the 'update_url' value is set for a known list of VPN extension IDs. This method can be used by adversaries to establish persistence or gain initial access by forcing the installation of malicious or controlled VPN extensions.

This rule detects when a user successfully elevates their permissions to manage all Azure Subscriptions. This action grants broad access across the Azure environment and should be immediately investigated if it is not a planned administrative activity. Such an elevation could be leveraged by an attacker to gain extensive control over Azure resources.

This rule detects the creation of temporary files within the WebDAV TfsStore directory that have suspicious file extensions. Attackers can leverage WebDAV to force authentication or to drop malicious files onto a system. The presence of executable or archive file extensions in this specific temporary directory is highly indicative of malicious activity, potentially related to initial access or resource development.
