This rule detects the creation of specific named pipes ('\imposecost' or '\imposingcost') which are known to be used by the 'Koh' tool. The 'Koh' tool is associated with credential access and privilege escalation techniques, often involving token impersonation or theft. Detection relies on Sysmon Event ID 17 or 18, which logs named pipe creation.

This rule detects modifications to the AppInit_DLLs registry key, which can be used by adversaries to establish persistence or elevate privileges. DLLs specified in this key are loaded by user32.dll into nearly every process that loads user32.dll. The rule specifically looks for changes to the 'AppInit_Dlls' value within the 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows' and 'HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows' registry paths, excluding empty values.

This rule detects exploitation attempts of the privilege escalation vulnerability CVE-2019-1378. The vulnerability involves the Windows 10 Update Assistant (WUA) executing `SetupComplete.cmd` or `PartnerSetupComplete.cmd` with elevated privileges. An attacker can place a malicious script in `C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\` which will then be executed by `cmd.exe` during the update process, leading to privilege escalation. The rule specifically looks for `cmd.exe` being the parent process, executing a command line that contains `C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\` and ends with either `SetupComplete.cmd` or `PartnerSetupComplete.cmd`, while filtering out legitimate system processes that might also execute commands from these directories.
