This rule detects the creation of an ActiveScriptEventConsumer via the `wmic.exe` command-line utility. Adversaries often use WMI event subscriptions to establish persistence or elevate privileges by executing malicious code when a specific event occurs. The presence of 'ActiveScriptEventConsumer' and 'CREATE' in the command line indicates an attempt to set up such a subscription.

Detects potential COM object hijacking attempts by monitoring the creation of 'TreatAs' subkeys within the HKU (HKEY_USERS) hive. Adversaries can manipulate the Windows Component Object Model (COM) registry structure to redirect legitimate COM object calls to malicious code, achieving persistence or privilege escalation. This rule specifically looks for the creation of a 'TreatAs' subkey under a CLSID (Class ID) entry, which is a known method for COM hijacking. The rule filters out creations by 'svchost.exe' to reduce false positives, as svchost can legitimately create such keys.

This rule detects attempts to establish persistence or escalate privileges by abusing the Windows 10 Narrator's Feedback-Hub. Specifically, it looks for the deletion of the 'DelegateExecute' value or modification of the '(Default)' value within a specific registry key associated with the Feedback-Hub application. This technique can be used by an attacker to inject a malicious payload that will execute when the Narrator's Feedback-Hub is launched.
