Summary
The detection rule identifies the execution of the 'curl.exe' command-line tool in a Windows environment specifically when used with insecure flags for proxies or DNS over HTTPS (DOH). The rule is essential for monitoring potential misuse of this tool to avoid security pitfalls, as using 'curl' in this manner can lead to exposing sensitive data or allowing tampering with requests. This rule targets instances where the command contains '--doh-insecure' or '--proxy-insecure', indicating a security risk. The condition for triggering the detection requires both image selection criteria and the presence of one of the specified command line arguments. As 'curl' is a common utility for interacting with web services, monitoring is critical in organizational networks where sensitive communications might be at risk. The rule does have potential false positives, particularly within internal or development systems that may improperly configure external connections.
