Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics BIOC | An uncommon lolbin execution by scheduled task A lolbin was executed with uncommon commandline by a scheduled task. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Persistence |
| Analytics | An unsigned process created scheduled task and performed an injection An unsigned process created scheduled task and performed an injection. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Persistence, Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Interactive at.exe privilege escalation method Detects an interactive AT scheduled task, which may be used as a form of privilege escalation. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Privilege Escalation |
| BIOC | Persistence using cron jobs Cron jobs are tasks to be executed sometime in the future, and could be used to persist malware. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare scheduled task created A new rare scheduled task was created with a rare path and a rare command line. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare Scheduled Task RPC activity The endpoint performed abnormal Scheduled Task RPC activity to a remote host. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare Scheduled Task RPC activity from a rarely seen host The endpoint performed abnormal Scheduled Task RPC activity to a remote host. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare unsigned process execution by scheduled task Rare and unsigned process was executed by a scheduled task. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Persistence |
| BIOC | Scheduled task created with HTTP or FTP reference Scheduled tasks don't normally include web URLs and may indicate malware activity. | Low | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Signed process creates a scheduled task via file access A signed process created a scheduled task via file access. Attackers may create scheduled tasks for execution and to establish persistence. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious container orchestration job A suspicious orchestration job ran with a rare command line. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious systemd timer activity Suspicious systemd timer activity, which may indicate an attempt to establish persistence. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
| BIOC | Task scheduled by commonly abused host process Attackers will often attempt to abuse shell/host processes to create a persistent payload in the form of a scheduled task. Check for malicious use. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Uncommon AT task-job creation by user An unpopular AT task-job was created by a user. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Uncommon local scheduled task creation via schtasks.exe The schtasks.exe command enables creating, deleting, querying, changing, running, and ending scheduled tasks on a local or remote computer. Adversaries may attempt to use the command to gain persistence on this host using scheduled tasks. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Uncommon PowerShell commands used to create or alter scheduled task parameters Attackers may create or alter scheduled task parameters to gain higher privileges or persistence on the system. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Uncommon remote scheduled task creation The schtasks.exe command enables creating, deleting, querying, changing, running, and ending scheduled tasks on a local or remote computer. Adversaries may attempt to use the command to execute programs or persist malware on remote machines. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Uncommon signed process execution by scheduled task An uncommon process was executed by a scheduled task. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Unsigned process creates a scheduled task via file access A scheduled task was created via file access from an unsigned process. This is uncommon and may indicate malicious activity. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Persistence |
