description: The following analytic detects the execution of JScript using the cscript.exe
|
|
process. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing
|
|
on process and command-line telemetry. This behavior is significant because JScript
|
|
files are typically executed by wscript.exe, making cscript.exe execution unusual
|
|
and potentially indicative of malicious activity, such as the FIN7 group's tactics.
|
|
If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute arbitrary
|
|
scripts, leading to code execution, data exfiltration, or further system compromise.

|
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
|
|
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
|
|
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
|
|
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
|
|
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
|
|
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
|
|
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
|
|
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
|
|
names and speed up the data modeling process.
