description: This search is to detect a COM CLSID execution through powershell. This
technique was seen in several adversaries and malware like ransomware conti where
it has a feature to execute command using COM Object. This technique may use by
network operator at some cases but a good indicator if some application want to
gain privilege escalation or bypass uac.
data_source:
- Powershell 4104
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText = "*CreateInstance([type]::GetTypeFromCLSID*"
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by EventCode ScriptBlockText
Computer user_id | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `powershell_execute_com_object_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.
known_false_positives: network operrator may use this command.
