The ‘Winhlp32 Spawning a Process’ detection rule identifies instances where winhlp32.exe spawns a child process that loads a file from specific directories, notably AppData, ProgramData, or Temp. This analysis leverages data derived from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, specifically by monitoring process creation events to identify suspicious behavior associated with winhlp32.exe, which has known vulnerabilities that can be exploited to run malicious code. If successful, an attacker could execute arbitrary scripts, gain higher privileges, or establish persistence within the system. Analysts are advised to monitor related processes, module loads, and file changes to uncover deeper malicious activities.
