This technique involves adversaries modifying access control lists (ACLs) in Active Directory to maintain access to domain resources. Specifically, this detection identifies when a DACL (Discretionary Access Control List) is changed to grant "GenericAll" rights, which provide complete control over an AD object.

This rule detects various activities associated with the NotDoor malware, including the copying of malicious files to Outlook macro folders, C2 beaconing attempts using nslookup or curl to suspicious domains, registry modifications to disable Outlook macro security or enable macro loading on boot, and the creation of staging files in temporary directories for potential exfiltration. These behaviors are indicative of NotDoor installation, persistence, defense evasion, and data staging.

This KQL query analyzes driver load events on Windows endpoints to detect malicious activity. It specifically looks for drivers (.sys files) being loaded from non-standard, user-writable directories.

The query checks for DriverLoad events and filters for files ending with .sys. It then narrows the results to drivers loaded from suspicious folders like \Users\, \AppData\, and \Temp\. The query uses a comprehensive exclusion list to filter out known legitimate drivers from these locations, such as those related to Windows Defender, specific gaming anti-cheat software, or hardware utilities like CPU-Z, which often operate from temporary directories. The final output is a list of suspicious driver load events that may indicate a malicious driver being executed on the system.

This detection identifies the installation of known malicious Chrome extensions associated with the "Madgicx Plus" campaign, which targets Meta advertisers to steal credentials and hijack sessions. The rule looks for registry modifications that include the specific IDs of these malicious extensions.

Detects potential DLL side-loading where the legitimate Palo Alto Networks executable 'PanGpHip.exe' is launched from a non-standard directory and loads 'libwaapi.dll' from the same path. This behavior is consistent with the technique described in the dmpdump report, where an LNK file executes the legitimate application to load a malicious DLL.

Detects the loading of the vulnerable RTCore64.sys driver. This driver is exploited by threats like kkRAT to disable AV/EDR security callbacks as part of a Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attack.

This analytic detects the creation of privileged user accounts or the elevation of existing accounts to privilege level 15 (the highest administrative privilege level) on Cisco IOS devices. This activity is suspicious as it could indicate an attacker establishing backdoor access or persistence after gaining initial access, potentially through vulnerabilities like CVE-2018-0171. The rule specifically looks for commands related to setting user privilege to 15, modifying user passwords in conjunction with user table modifications, or explicit privilege updates to level 15.

Detects a sequence of events indicative of Process Doppelgänging, a technique used by APT37. This rule identifies a process creating a legitimate Windows utility and then immediately injecting code into it, which is characteristic of creating a process in a suspended state for injection.

This analytic detects system binaries that are commonly abused in process injection techniques but are observed without any command-line arguments. It leverages Cisco Network Visibility Module (NVM) flow data and process arguments to identify outbound connections initiated by these processes. Binaries such as `rundll32.exe`, `regsvr32.exe`, `dllhost.exe`, `svchost.exe`, and others are legitimate Windows processes that are often injected into by malware or post-exploitation frameworks (e.g., Cobalt Strike) to hide execution. When these processes are seen initiating a network connection with an empty or missing command line, it can indicate potential injection and communication with a command and control server.

This analytic detects network connections initiated by binaries that are not typically associated with network communication, such as 'notepad.exe', 'calc.exe' or 'write.exe'. It leverages Cisco Network Visibility Module logs to correlate network flow activity with process context, including command-line arguments, process path, and parent process information. These applications are normally used for locally and do not require outbound network access. When they do initiate such connections, it may indicate process hollowing, code injection, or proxy execution, where adversaries abuse a trusted process to mask malicious activity.

This analytic provides comprehensive monitoring of configuration changes on Cisco devices by analyzing archive logs. Configuration archive logging captures all changes made to a device's configuration, providing a detailed audit trail that can be used to identify suspicious or malicious activities. This detection is particularly valuable for identifying patterns of malicious configuration changes that might indicate an attacker's presence, such as the creation of backdoor accounts, SNMP community string modifications, and TFTP server configurations for data exfiltration. By analyzing these logs, security teams can gain a holistic view of configuration changes across sessions and users, helping to detect sophisticated attack campaigns like those conducted by threat actors such as Static Tundra.

The analytic identifies the execution of Advanced Installer MSIX Package Support Framework (PSF) components, specifically the AI_STUBS executables with the original filename 'popupwrapper.exe'. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process paths and original filenames. This activity is significant as adversaries have been observed packaging malicious content within MSIX files built with Advanced Installer to bypass security controls. These AI_STUBS executables (with original filename 'popupwrapper.exe') are hallmark artifacts of potentially malicious MSIX packages. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, establish persistence, or deliver malware while evading traditional detection mechanisms.

This analytic detects the execution of PowerShell commands to install unsigned AppX packages using Add-AppxPackage or Add-AppPackage cmdlets with the -AllowUnsigned flag. This activity is significant as adversaries may use unsigned AppX packages to install malicious applications, bypass security controls, or establish persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to install unauthorized applications that may contain malware, backdoors, or other malicious components.

Detects potential exploitation of a critical ABAP code injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-42957) in SAP S/4HANA. An attacker with low-level privileges can leverage a vulnerable RFC module, /SLOAE/DEPLOY, to execute arbitrary code and gain full control of the system.
