This detection rule targets potential persistence mechanisms employed by malicious actors through the use of the PlistBuddy utility on macOS systems. The rule specifically looks for the execution of the PlistBuddy tool in conjunction with specific command-line arguments that are indicative of persistence attempts, such as 'RunAtLoad' set to 'true' and the usage of 'LaunchAgents' or 'LaunchDaemons'. The presence of these elements can signify an attempt to ensure a malicious actor's code runs automatically upon user login or system startup. The rule is structured around process creation logs, capturing relevant activities that may indicate the establishment of persistence on macOS environments. False positive rates are currently deemed unknown, and the rule is classified with a high level of severity given its implications on system security.
