This rule detects the installation of a root certificate on a Windows system via PowerShell. It specifically looks for PowerShell script block text containing commands like 'Move-Item' or 'Import-Certificate' targeting the 'Cert:\LocalMachine\Root' path. Adversaries may install root certificates to bypass security warnings when connecting to their controlled web servers, facilitating man-in-the-middle attacks or credential harvesting.
