Potential Process Injection via PowerShell

## Triage and analysis.

### Investigating Potential Process Injection via PowerShell

PowerShell is one of the main tools used by system administrators for automation, report routines, and other tasks.

PowerShell also has solid capabilities to make the interaction with the Win32 API in an uncomplicated and reliable way,
like the execution of inline C# code, PSReflect, Get-ProcAddress, etc.

Red Team tooling and Malware Developers take advantage of these capabilities to develop stagers and loaders that inject
payloads directly into the memory, without touching the disk.

#### Possible investigation steps:

- Examine script content that triggered the detection.
- Investigate script execution chain (parent process tree)
- Inspect any file or network events from the suspicious powershell host process instance.
- If the action is suspicious for the user, check for any other activities done by the user in the last 48 hours.

### False Positive Analysis

- Verify whether the script content is malicious/harmful.

### Related Rules

### Response and Remediation

- Immediate response should be taken to validate, investigate, and potentially contain the activity to prevent further
post-compromise behavior.
