Add Insecure Download Source To Winget

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule identifies attempts to add an insecure (HTTP) download source using the Windows Package Manager (winget). Winget is designed to prevent the addition of insecure sources for security reasons. If a user tries to circumvent this control by explicitly adding an HTTP source in their command line, it may indicate suspicious behavior or user error. The rule specifically looks for process creations involving 'winget.exe' and examines command line inputs for any instances of 'source', 'add', and 'http://'. This could be used by security teams to alert on potential misuse or misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities in the system.
