description: This analytic is to detect a suspicious child process of MSBuild spawned
by Windows Script Host - cscript or wscript. This behavior or event are commonly
seen and used by malware or adversaries to execute malicious msbuild process using
malicious script in the compromised host. During triage, review parallel processes
and identify any file modifications. MSBuild may load a script from the same path
without having command-line arguments.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
ParentImage:
- wscript.exe
- cscript.exe
selection2:
OriginalFileName: MSBuild.exe
selection3:
Image|endswith: msbuild.exe
condition: selection1 and selection2 and selection3
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 as developers do not spawn
MSBuild via a WSH.
