Detects the execution of shell interpreters (such as cmd, powershell, bash, osascript) as child processes of the Obsidian note-taking application. This behavior was observed in the REF6598 campaign where threat actors abused the "Shell Commands" community plugin to deliver the PHANTOMPULSE RAT. It also detects specific command-line indicators associated with the campaign.

Detects file write, creation, or modification of C:\Windows\System32\TieringEngineService.exe
by any process other than legitimate Windows servicing components. The RedSun exploit
(CVE-2026-33825) overwrites this binary via a Defender cloud-file-rollback redirection
abuse, enabling SYSTEM-level code execution when the Tier Management Engine COM object
is subsequently invoked. Legitimate modification of this file is almost exclusively
performed by TrustedInstaller during Windows servicing operations.

Detects creation or overwrite of the Windows shortcut name pattern observed in the Guildma Startup-folder persistence mechanism when the creator is a script interpreter, LOLBin, or process running from a user-writable location. The Cortex XDR Sigma backend maps TargetFilename to action_file_name and cannot represent the Startup directory path; use the companion native XQL rule for path-based detection.
