GenAI or MCP Server Child Process Execution

Detects child process execution from GenAI tools or MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Adversaries exploit AI agents to execute system commands, exfiltrate data, or establish persistence. MCP servers provide LLMs direct access to execute shell commands, read files, and interact with external services. This building block provides visibility into AI-initiated process execution for correlation with other suspicious activity.

GenAI Process Compiling or Generating Executables

Detects when GenAI tools spawn compilers or packaging tools to generate executables. Attackers leverage local LLMs to autonomously generate and compile malware, droppers, or implants. Python packaging tools (pyinstaller, nuitka, pyarmor) are particularly high-risk as they create standalone executables that can be deployed without dependencies. This rule focuses on compilation activity that produces output binaries, filtering out inspection-only operations.
