Detects the placement of potentially malicious executable or script files onto a network share followed by the execution of that specific file path from a different host within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of lateral movement using tainted shared content.

Detects the creation of Object Manager symbolic links that redirect the Windows Defender 'WD_SCAN' object to a loopback UNC share path. This behavior is indicative of a symlink exploitation technique (ShieldCrash/CVE-2026-69414) used to manipulate Windows Defender or associated scan operations by redirecting them to an adversary-controlled or loopback-hosted target.

Detects rapid, repeated invocation of Microsoft Defender remediation processes (mpcmdrun.exe, MsMpEng.exe) occurring in conjunction with suspicious file write or rename operations in System32. This pattern is characteristic of a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition, where an attacker attempts to exploit the timing gap between Defender's detection and remediation actions to replace a file with a malicious version.

Detects the 'Comet.exe' process, associated with the Perplexity Comet AI agent, accessing sensitive system files or configuration directories outside its expected scope. This pattern of file interaction is characteristic of unauthorized data collection or exfiltration attempts, specifically linked to the BragJack threat activity.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of unsigned executable files (.exe, .dll, .sys, .efi) within critical Windows system directories (System32, SysWOW64, drivers, boot). The rule excludes activity triggered by known trusted OS update processes, such as TrustedInstaller or Windows Update services, and optionally flags occurrences outside defined maintenance windows.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the modification of Excel macro security settings (specifically VBAWarnings or AccessVBOM) or the creation of autorun.inf files on removable drives. It identifies these behaviors when they coincide with the execution of Synaptics.exe within a 30-minute window, suggesting a potential correlation between local administrative tasks and malicious document-based payloads or portable drive staging.

This rule detects potential lateral movement activity by identifying executable or script files being written to administrative shares (C$ or ADMIN$) followed by the execution of a file with the same name on the destination device within 15 minutes. It includes logic to filter out known deployment/patch management service accounts and file names to reduce noise.

Detects instances where node, npm, or bun package installation processes modify the Claude AI settings.json file. This could indicate potential supply chain compromise or unauthorized configuration changes to the Claude application environment via malicious packages or scripts.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of PHP files within the 'wp-content/uploads' directory of a WordPress installation. This pattern is commonly indicative of an attacker uploading a web shell to maintain persistence or execute arbitrary code on a compromised web server.

Detects a suspicious sequence of events where the Parallels Desktop dispatcher service (prl_disp_service) executes a tar command with a compression program flag, followed immediately by the creation or modification of a launch agent (.plist) file in system or user launch directories. This pattern is indicative of exploitation or post-exploitation activity attempting to achieve persistence.

This rule detects unauthorized modifications to the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory, specifically identifying files with a 'prl-rce-' naming pattern that contain 'NOPASSWD:ALL'. This configuration allows users to execute commands with elevated privileges (root) without requiring a password, which is a common technique used by attackers to maintain persistence and facilitate privilege escalation on Linux systems.

Detects suspected exploitation of CVE-2026-81963, an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in the Windows Update stack. The rule monitors for the creation of reparse points, junctions, or symbolic links within update staging paths by Windows Update processes, followed by either the spawning of suspicious child processes or unauthorized file writes/renames outside of expected directories, which are indicative of a privileged link-following exploit.

The following analytic detects the creation or modification of adsource.dll or other staging files with the name adsource_*.dll within the SCCM SMS Provider bin directory, consistent with exploitation of CVE-2026-47301.
This abuses a DLL side-loading vulnerability in the Microsoft Configuration Manager SMS Provider component.
An attacker can plant a malicious adsource.dll in the SCCMProvider bin\X64 path, causing the SMS Provider service to load the attacker-controlled library in a privileged context.
The presence of renamed dlls alongside adsource.dll is a strong indicator of the classic DLL hijacking pattern where the legitimate library has been renamed so the malicious replacement can proxy calls to it.
If confirmed malicious, this activity represents a privilege escalation vector that can result in SYSTEM-level code execution on any host running the SCCM SMS Provider role.

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.

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.
