Detects the execution of control.exe with suspicious command-line arguments involving WebDAV paths (DavWWWRoot) and file extensions like .cpl or .dll, initiated by Windows task-related processes (svchost, taskeng, schtasks). This pattern is indicative of potential malicious payload loading or proxy execution where a scheduled task is used to trigger a secondary malicious component.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' that involves suspicious command-line patterns, specifically tasks pointing to potentially volatile directories (temp, appdata, programdata) or tasks executing PowerShell/CMD with common obfuscation/execution arguments such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or base64 decoding.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks, recurring jobs, or webhook subscriptions by a user identity flagged as an AI_AGENT. This activity is monitored for persistence, especially when the event lacks a descriptive context or targets external networks, suggesting potential unauthorized agent behavioral drift or malicious persistence.

The rule detects correlation between the creation of persistence-related Registry keys (specifically Windows Run keys or Browser Native Messaging hosts) and the execution of the schtasks.exe utility to create or manage a task related to 'psychedelicloveUtils'. This pattern suggests an adversary attempting to maintain persistence by linking Registry-based autostart mechanisms with a scheduled task.

Detects persistence attempts using common Windows auto-start registry keys or scheduled tasks where the initiating process is unsigned or has an invalid signature. The rule focuses on binaries executing from suspicious, user-writable directories (e.g., Temp, AppData, Downloads) and specifically targets persistence mechanisms involving the 'SecurityHealthService.exe' filename.

Detects the creation of a Windows scheduled task via schtasks.exe where the initiating process is located in common user-writable temporary or non-standard directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, or Public folders). This behavior is often indicative of malicious persistence mechanisms being established by a dropper or stage-one malware payload.

Detects a behavioral chain where a process establishes persistence using a 'WindowsUpdate' Registry Run key or a scheduled task, followed within five minutes by an outbound network connection from the same process. The rule specifically excludes cases where a ZIP file was written to disk, identifying potential in-memory staging for exfiltration.

This rule detects potentially malicious activities involving the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks or the use of system binaries (rundll32.exe and control.exe) to execute commands, often associated with lateral movement or persistence. It looks for schtasks.exe commands creating tasks with specific deceptive names, and rundll32.exe or control.exe executing from remote network paths or suspicious command line arguments.

Detects a low-privileged account manually triggering the 'CreateObjectTask' scheduled task, which is a known technique to force the 'Shell Create Object Handler' (dllhost.exe) to start under the SYSTEM context. This behavior is often associated with pre-exploitation steps for privilege escalation vulnerabilities, specifically those involving OBJREF marshaling targeting specific COM objects.

This rule detects potential persistence via scheduled tasks that masquerade as legitimate network components (e.g., 'System Health Monitor'), as well as abnormal use of WebDav via rundll32.exe or net.exe in the context of the Star Blizzard (COLDRIVER) campaign. It monitors for task creation/updates, schtasks command lines, registry artifacts related to task scheduling, and suspicious WebDav network utility usage, while excluding common security tool processes.

Detects signs of the ClosedQuorum implant by correlating at least two redundant persistence mechanisms (Registry Run keys, Scheduled Tasks, WMI execution) on the same host within a 10-minute window. The rule focuses on artifacts originating from suspicious user-writable paths or unsigned binaries, while excluding known legitimate installation paths.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using 'schtasks.exe' or 'Register-ScheduledTask' where the task command path is located in suspicious directories such as AppData, Temp, or ProgramData, or where the task is configured to run under the SYSTEM account. This behavior is commonly used by adversaries for persistence.

Detects the VelvetCake malware installation and operational pattern, which utilizes a scheduled task named 'OneDriveUpdateScheduler' to execute PowerShell scripts ('update1.ps1' or 'update2.ps1'). These scripts periodically retrieve modules or payloads from external infrastructure, specifically hardcoded C2 IPs or a dedicated GitHub repository.

Detects the creation of files with specific naming patterns (starting with 'agta_av_' for PowerShell scripts or 'agta_task_' for XML files) within the Windows SystemTemp directory. This behavior is indicative of potential staging of malicious scripts or scheduled task definitions by adversaries.
