Summary
This detection rule identifies instances where the 'curl.exe' command-line tool is executed with the '--insecure' flag. The '--insecure' option allows curl to proceed and operate even when SSL connections are not verified, which can expose systems to man-in-the-middle attacks. The rule monitors the execution of curl with a regex pattern that matches whether the command line arguments include this insecure flag. By focusing on process creation events where 'curl.exe' is invoked, the rule aids in mitigating potential risks stemming from unverified HTTPS connections, thereby enhancing overall security posture against misuse of curl in an attack scenario or unauthorized data transmission.
