description: The following analytic identifies the abuse of Syncappvpublishingserver.vbs,
which is a native script on Windows that may be utilized to download remote files
or perform privilege escalation.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
CommandLine: '*syncappvpublishingserver.vbs*'
Image|endswith:
- wscript.exe
- cscript.exe
condition: selection1
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.
known_false_positives: False positives may be present if the vbscript syncappvpublishingserver
is used for legitimate purposes. Filter as needed. Adding a n; to the command-line
arguments may help reduce any noise.
