Potential Executable Run Itself As Sacrificial Process

Detects when an executable launches an identical instance of itself, a behavior often used to create a suspended “sacrificial” process for code injection or evasion. Investigate for indicators such as the process being started in suspended mode, rapid parent termination, memory manipulation (e.g., WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread), or unsigned binaries. Review command-line arguments, process ancestry, and network activity to confirm if this is legitimate behavior or process injection activity.

Process Execution From WebDAV Share

Detects execution of processes with image paths starting with WebDAV shares (\\), which might indicate malicious file execution from remote web shares. Execution of processes from WebDAV shares can be a sign of lateral movement or exploitation attempts, especially if the process is not a known legitimate application. Exploitation Attempt of vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-33053 also involves executing processes from WebDAV paths.
