This rule detects attempts to bypass User Account Control (UAC) using the Microsoft Connection Manager Profile Installer (CMSTP) by abusing specific autoelevate-capable COM objects. The detection logic looks for processes where 'DllHost.exe' is the parent process, the parent command line contains specific COM Process IDs associated with CMSTP or related components, and the process is running with 'High' or 'System' integrity levels. This technique is often used by adversaries to elevate privileges without user interaction.

Detects the execution of 'wsreset.exe' with elevated privileges (High or System integrity levels). This behavior is indicative of a User Account Control (UAC) bypass attempt, as 'wsreset.exe' is a legitimate Windows utility that can be abused to elevate privileges without a UAC prompt.

Detects image load events of system control panel items (.cpl) from uncommon or non-system locations which might be the result of sideloading. This technique can be used for defense evasion by masquerading malicious code as legitimate system components.

Detects a specific User Account Control (UAC) bypass technique that leverages the 'changepk.exe' and 'slui.exe' executables. This method is associated with UACMe bypass technique #61, where 'slui.exe' is used as a parent process to launch 'changepk.exe' with elevated privileges, bypassing the UAC prompt. The rule specifically looks for 'changepk.exe' being spawned by 'slui.exe' with an integrity level of 'High' or 'System'.

This rule detects the creation of a named file stream (Alternate Data Stream - ADS) containing specific Imphash values associated with known hack tools. The Imphash values are for tools such as Mimikatz, PetitPotam, JuicyPotato, RoguePotato, Pwdump, Cobalt Strike beacons, NanoDump, HandleKatz, DripLoader, UACMe, Dumpert, EDRSandBlast, and others. Adversaries often use ADSs to hide malicious executables or data to evade detection by traditional security tools that may not scan alternate data streams.

Detects the loading of specific malicious DLLs (ffmpeg.dll, d3dcompiler_47.dll, and an ICONIC Stealer payload) that were identified as compromised and used in attacks involving the 3CXDesktopApp. This rule uses SHA256, SHA1, and MD5 hashes to identify the malicious DLLs.

Detects potential SquiblyTwo attack technique where WMIC is used to execute remote XSL files. This rule specifically looks for WMIC execution with command-line arguments indicating a format specifier and an HTTP URL, combined with checks for the original WMIC executable name or known WMIC ImpHashes, even if the binary is renamed.
