Detects the CTRL persistence pattern by correlating suspicious registry value modifications (using disguised names like 'ShellStateVersion1', 'IconSizeVersion1', 'IconUnderlineVersion1') with the creation of scheduled tasks via PowerShell or schtasks.exe. The scheduled tasks often involve hidden or encoded commands and are set to launch at startup or with specific system privileges.

This rule detects a Faux-Elevate UAC bypass technique. It correlates the launch of auto-elevated processes like 'fodhelper.exe' or 'eventvwr.exe' with the subsequent spawning of suspicious child processes such as 'powershell.exe', 'cmd.exe', or 'wscript.exe'. The detection is further refined by looking for malicious PowerShell patterns within the command line of these child processes, specifically keywords like 'IEX', 'DownloadString', 'Invoke-WebRequest', or '-enc'. Additionally, the rule identifies registry modifications targeting keys related to 'ms-settings\shell\open\command', which is indicative of a registry hijack often used in UAC bypasses.

Detects PowerShell script blocks containing the scenario="incomingCall" XML attribute, which triggers Windows' special incoming call notification UI with accept/dismiss buttons and an avatar image loaded from an attacker-controlled URL. Sourced from the toastnotify-bof repository incoming-call.xml example payload. Near-zero legitimate enterprise use of this attribute in PowerShell.

Detects PowerShell constructing toast notification XML with an external HTTP image URL alongside WinRT toast API calls. When the notification is displayed the notification platform fetches the image, creating an outbound connection to an attacker-controlled server for delivery confirmation. Sourced from the toastnotify-bof repository incoming-call.xml and teams-security-alert.xml example payloads.

Detects PowerShell constructing toast notification XML containing an activationType attribute combined with a protocol scheme. This pattern creates a clickable notification button that launches a URI handler, the primary mechanism for delivering phishing links via toast notifications. Covers both msteams:// protocol links and generic protocol handlers.

Detects PowerShell enumerating Application User Model IDs via the notification settings registry hive, the Get-StartApps cmdlet, or the System.AppUserModel.ID extended property on .lnk shortcuts. Attackers use these to discover trusted AUMIDs to impersonate in fake toast notifications.
