Summary
The rule is designed to detect the execution of the `SyncAppvPublishingServer.exe` process, which is often exploited by adversaries as a method to bypass PowerShell execution restrictions within the Windows environment. The SyncAppvPublishingServer is a legitimate binary associated with Microsoft App-V (Application Virtualization) technology, which can be misused by attackers to evade security measures and launch malicious scripts. This detection focuses on monitoring context information for any instances of this executable, alerting security teams when it is invoked in suspicious contexts. By tracking the usage of this process, security analysts can identify potential attacks leveraging App-V services to execute unauthorized PowerShell commands, an action commonly associated with various evasion techniques.
