name: Suspicious microsoft workflow compiler usage
id: 9bbc62e8-55d8-11eb-ae93-0242ac130002
version: 2

author: Michael Haag, Splunk
type: TTP
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: The following analytic identifies microsoft.workflow.compiler.exe usage.
microsoft.workflow.compiler.exe is natively found in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
and is rarely utilized. When investigating, identify the executed code on disk and
review. It is not a commonly used process by many applications.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where `process_microsoftworkflowcompiler`
by Processes.dest Processes.parent_process Processes.process_name Processes.original_file_name
Processes.process Processes.user | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `suspicious_microsoft_workflow_compiler_usage_filter`'
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: Although unlikely, limited instances have been identified coming
from native Microsoft utilities similar to SCCM.
