description: The following detection identifies Microsoft Word spawning `cmd.exe`.
|
|
Typically, this is not common behavior and not default with winword.exe. Winword.exe
|
|
will generally be found in the following path `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16`
|
|
(version will vary). Cmd.exe spawning from winword.exe is common for a spearphishing
|
|
attachment and is actively used. Albeit, the command-line will indicate what is
|
|
being executed. During triage, review parallel processes and identify any files
|
|
that may have been written. It is possible that COM is utilized to trampoline the
|
|
child process to `explorer.exe` or `wmiprvse.exe`.

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: False positives should be limited, but if any are present,
|
|
filter as needed.
