The following analytic identifies the use of protocol handlers executed via the command line. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process and command-line telemetry. This activity is significant because protocol handlers can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands or launch applications, potentially leading to unauthorized actions. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could use this technique to gain code execution, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence within the environment, posing a significant security risk.

The following analytic detects the use of Microsoft HTML Application Host (mshta.exe) to make remote HTTP or HTTPS connections. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line arguments containing URLs. This activity is significant because adversaries often use mshta.exe to download and execute remote .hta files, bypassing security controls. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to system compromise, data exfiltration, or further network infiltration.

Detects usage of expand.exe to extract Microsoft Cabinet (CAB) archives, with
emphasis on extractions into `C:\\ProgramData` or similar staging locations. In
recent APT37 activity, a CAB payload (e.g., wonder.cab) was expanded into
ProgramData prior to persistence and execution. This behavior is a strong signal
for ingress tool transfer and staging of payloads.

This analytic detects the usage of the Azure CLI to interact with user accounts such as creating or deleting a user.
Adversaries create new users so that their malicious activity does not interrupt the normal functions of the compromised users and can remain undetected.
While legitimate administrative use is expected, anomalous execution patterns, unexpected users, or unusual parent processes should be treated as potential indicators of compromise and investigated promptly.

The following analytic detects modifications to the BootExecute registry key, which manages applications and services executed during system boot. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, focusing on changes to the registry path "HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\BootExecute". This activity is significant because unauthorized changes to this key can indicate attempts to achieve persistence, load malicious code, or tamper with the boot process. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to maintain persistence, execute arbitrary code at boot, or disrupt system operations.

The following analytic identifies a LOLBAS process being executed where it's process name does not match it's original file name attribute.
Processes that have been renamed and executed may be an indicator that an adversary is attempting to evade defenses or execute malicious code.
The LOLBAS project documents Windows native binaries that can be abused by threat actors to perform tasks like executing malicious code.

This rule detects when an SAP user generates audit records exceeding a configured hourly threshold (200 for high severity or 4000 for medium severity events) on their system. This behavior may indicate automated scanning, mass data extraction, or anomalous user activity within SAP environments.

Detects legitimate applications writing any type of file to uncommon or suspicious locations that are not typical for application data storage or execution.
Adversaries may leverage legitimate applications (Living off the Land Binaries - LOLBins) to drop or download malicious files to uncommon locations on the system to evade detection by security solutions.

This rule detects the use of 'docker cp' or 'sbx cp' commands which are susceptible to the CVE-2026-17106 (CopyEscape) vulnerability. This vulnerability allows a compromised container to perform arbitrary file writes or overwrites on the host system during archive extraction, potentially leading to container escape and privilege escalation by replacing critical system binaries like runc.

Detects execution of esxcli syslog configuration commands where the command
itself is reconstructed at runtime from hex escape sequences, octal escape sequences, an
awk BEGIN block, or a Python chr()-based decoder before being reset against loghost.
CrowdStrike cataloged this pattern across 21 ESX BusyBox obfuscation techniques used to
hide 'esxcli system syslog config set --reset=loghost' from cleartext shell log review.
Threat actors including SCATTERED SPIDER, BlackBasta, Royal/BlackSuit, and Akira use this
to sever centralized log forwarding from a compromised ESXi host immediately before
encrypting the datastore.
