New Query Submission
Name: Suspicious Scheduled Task Creation
Author: ByteRay GmbH
Submission ID: d36a9db1-90bb-4a00-a83e-10b9a7de2b50
Description
Surfaces newly registered Windows scheduled tasks whose execution command or arguments match patterns commonly abused for persistence and remote code execution: encoded PowerShell combined with download/exec intent, LOLBin proxy execution, payloads launched from user-writable paths, embedded web URLs, and chained cmd one-liners. Tasks created remotely (RemoteAddressIP4/IP6 populated) are flagged as a higher-priority lateral-movement signal. A commented author filter lets analysts suppress their own validated software-deployment / RMM accounts after baselining.
