This rule detects potentially malicious activity originating from Microsoft Word (WINWORD.EXE). It monitors for two specific patterns: the creation of script files (.bat, .vbs, .cmd) with GUID-based filenames in non-temp directories, and the creation or execution of files matching known malicious hashes associated with the Hookedge malware family.

Detects Direct Send bypass (null envelope + internal-domain spoof) using a file/document-sharing lure aimed at leadership. Tightened: added inbound-direction and auth-failure requirements (was previously missing any authentication check, so legitimate SharePoint/OneDrive-style sharing notifications from real internal senders could have matched), delivered-only filter, and case-insensitive recipient/job-title join.

This rule detects the creation, modification, or renaming of 'ntdll.dll' within a specific directory path matching the pattern 'ShieldCrash_{GUID}'. This pattern is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as the use of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) for persistence or execution evasion. The rule explicitly excludes known legitimate system processes that may handle DLL files to minimize noise.

Detects suspicious file activity within directories named 'ShieldCrash' followed by a cloud provider registration or placeholder creation event within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized software or an adversary attempting to stage data for exfiltration or create persistent storage aliases outside of legitimate cloud client applications.

Detects the eicar_com.zip test archive used by the ShieldCrash PoC (CVE-2026-69414) to trigger Windows Defender's vulnerable scan/read path, only when observed alongside ShieldCrash binary or staging path/context indicators to reduce false positives from routine EICAR AV testing

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.

Detects high-frequency file creation, modification, or renaming activity involving files with the specific '.df_win' extension, likely indicative of mass encryption activity or automated ransomware behavior. The rule excludes known backup and security software processes to reduce noise.

004
This rule detects potentially malicious activity where multiple critical processes (such as database engines or email clients) are terminated in a short time frame, correlated with a high volume of file creation or modification events on the same device. This behavior is indicative of destructive activity, such as ransomware encrypting data stores or disabling defensive software.
