Summary
This detection rule identifies potential DLL sideloading associated with the "SolidPDFCreator.dll" file. DLL sideloading is a technique used by attackers to exploit legitimate applications through the loading of malicious DLL files. This specific rule focuses on instances where the SolidPDFCreator.dll is loaded in circumstances that do not align with expected behavior, such as being loaded from incorrect locations or without the corresponding executable in the expected main path. The rule is structured to activate when the DLL is loaded but the originating executable does not match the legitimate installation paths specified for SolidPDFCreator. By correlating the loaded image with both the specified directories and the image itself, this rule aims to detect when the DLL is misused, potentially indicating an attempt at privilege escalation or evasion tactics in an attack scenario.
