OSACompile Run-Only Execution

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
The rule 'OSACompile Run-Only Execution' is designed to detect suspicious execution of scripts that have been compiled using the OSACompile utility on macOS systems. It specifically looks for command-line arguments associated with run-only executions using the '-x' and '-e' flags. This behavior may indicate an attempt to execute scripts that are meant to run without user interaction or visibility, which could be indicative of malicious activities, such as malware trying to hide its actions or attackers using automated scripts to perform unauthorized tasks. The detection leverages process creation logs and focuses on specific command line patterns to flag potential security incidents.
