name: Sqlite Module In Temp Folder

description: The following analytic detects the creation of sqlite3.dll files in
the %temp% folder. It leverages Sysmon EventCode 11 to identify when these
files are written to the temporary directory. This activity is significant
because it is associated with IcedID malware, which uses the sqlite3 module to
parse browser databases and steal sensitive information such as banking
details, credit card information, and credentials. If confirmed malicious,
this behavior could lead to significant data theft and compromise of user
accounts.
data_source:
- Sysmon EventID 11
search: '`sysmon` EventCode=11 (TargetFilename = "*\\sqlite32.dll" OR TargetFilename
= "*\\sqlite64.dll") (TargetFilename = "*\\temp\\*") | stats count min(_time) as
firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by action dest file_name file_path process_guid
process_id user_id vendor_product | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `sqlite_module_in_temp_folder_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be
ingesting logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line
executions from your endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at
least version 6.0.4 of the Sysmon TA.
