These queries check telemetry from the Exploit Guard rule: Rule: Block Office applications from creating child processes.
(Rule ID d4f940ab-401b-4efc-aadc-ad5f3c50688a).
Read more about it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/attack-surface-reduction-exploit-guard.
Oftentimes organizations enable this rule in audit mode and check the results before setting block mode.
You can use query #2 to measure the rule impact on your network in audit mode before turning it to block mode.
Query #1 is used after setting it to block mode - to analyze the block stats.
Tags: #ASR.
Query #1: block stats.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, CVE-2018-8653 scripting engine vulnerability.
CVE-2018-8653 is a remote code execution vulnerability found in the scripting engine for several releases of Internet Explorer. An attacker exploiting this CVE could use a malicious webpage to gain the same access rights as the currently logged-in user -- which is particularly problematic if the user is an administrator.
Microsoft has since addressed this vulnerability.
The following queries detect possible exploitation of this CVE.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Emulation-evading JavaScripts.
Attackers in several ransomware campaigns have employed heavily obfuscated JavaScript code, in order to implant malware or execute malicious commands. The obfuscation is intended to help the code evade security systems and potentially escape sandbox environments.
The following query detects when Word or File Explorer have launched files with a .jse extension. Attackers involved in various human-operated campaigns have been known to embed a heavily obfuscated JavaScript file in malicious Word docs. The loader is used to download and install the banking trojan, Trickbot.
See Detect .jse file creation events for a similar technique.
