Detects the execution of csc.exe (the C# command-line compiler) with specific command-line arguments (/noconfig, /fullpaths) and a response file (.cmdline) located within a temporary directory. This pattern is commonly associated with fileless malware, such as Banana RAT, which compiles its components at runtime to bypass static file-based detection.

This rule detects successful Azure AD sign-in events (ResultType 0) that occur following a series of repeated failed sign-in attempts (ResultType 50126) from the same user account. The activity is specifically scoped to the LSHIY IPv6 address range and utilizes Azure CLI or similar mobile/desktop client applications, which is a strong indicator of an automated password spraying or credential stuffing attack followed by a successful compromise.

Detects execution of rundll32.exe via shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL that spawns cmd.exe or powershell.exe with command lines containing excessive whitespace (spaces/line breaks). This behavior is characteristic of the exploitation of the CVE-2025-116624 vulnerability in LNK files used to hide the actual malicious command arguments from security monitoring.

Detects a process tree where Code.exe (VS Code) spawns node.exe as an intermediary process, which in turn spawns calc.exe. This matches the child_process.exec execution pattern observed when a malicious VS Code extension dependency decodes and runs an arbitrary command, demonstrating that any payload (not just calc.exe) can be executed via this chain.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with typical reverse shell command-line flags (-nop, -w hidden, -c) launched as a child process of cmd.exe. This pattern is commonly associated with remote code execution (RCE) scenarios, such as the exploitation of vulnerable applications that inject keystrokes or system commands via unauthenticated interfaces.

Detects file system artifacts indicating installation of the malicious 'ascii-fetcher' VS Code extension (v1.0.0) from the Open VSX marketplace, which bundles the malicious npm dependency '@jaymara/jsononifier' to hide its logic from static analysis.
