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 dest signature signature_id process_name file_name
file_path action process_guid| `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.
