description: This rule detects execution of a PowerShell code through the sqltoolsps.exe
|
|
utility, which is included in the standard set of utilities supplied with the
|
|
Microsoft SQL Server Management studio. Script blocks are not logged in this case,
|
|
so this utility helps to bypass protection mechanisms based on the analysis of
|
|
these logs.
|
|
detection:
|
|
SELECTION_1:
|
|
EventID: 1
|
|
SELECTION_2:
|
|
Image: '*\sqltoolsps.exe'
|
|
SELECTION_3:
|
|
ParentImage: '*\sqltoolsps.exe'
|
|
SELECTION_4:
|
|
OriginalFileName: \sqltoolsps.exe
|
|
SELECTION_5:
|
|
ParentImage: '*\smss.exe'
|
|
condition: (SELECTION_1 and ((SELECTION_2 or SELECTION_3) or (SELECTION_4 and not
|
|
(SELECTION_5))))
|
|
falsepositives:
|
|
- Direct PS command execution through SQLToolsPS.exe is uncommon, childprocess sqltoolsps.exe
|
|
spawned by smss.exe is a legitimate action.
