name: XSL Script Execution With WMIC
id: 004e32e2-146d-11ec-a83f-acde48001122
version: 1

author: Teoderick Contreras, Splunk
type: TTP
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: This search is to detect a suspicious wmic.exe process or renamed wmic
process to execute malicious xsl file. This technique was seen in FIN7 to execute
its malicous jscript using the .xsl as the loader with the help of wmic.exe process.
This TTP is really a good indicator for you to hunt further for FIN7 or other attacker
that known to used this technique.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where `process_wmic` Processes.process
= "*os get*" Processes.process="*/format:*" Processes.process = "*.xsl*" by Processes.parent_process_name
Processes.parent_process Processes.process_name Processes.process_id Processes.process
Processes.dest Processes.user | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `xsl_script_execution_with_wmic_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.
