Summary
This detection rule identifies instances where Google Chrome is launched with the command line flag `--disable-features=DisableLoadExtensionCommandLineSwitch`, allowing extensions to be loaded without restrictions. Such behavior may signify attempts to bypass established corporate policies, potentially loading unauthorized or malicious extensions, and could indicate other manipulative actions on the browser. The rule utilizes data from various sources, including Windows Event Logs and Sysmon, to track this behavior, enabling organizations to maintain vigilance against security policy violations and monitor for possible malware persistence techniques.
