- Endpoint
description: this detection was designed to identifies suspicious spawned process
of known MS office application due to macro or malicious code. this technique can
be seen in so many malware like trickbot that used MS office as its weapon or attack
vector to initially infect the machines.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where (Processes.parent_process_name
= "winword.exe" OR Processes.parent_process_name = "excel.exe" OR Processes.parent_process_name

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
endpoint product.
