Execution of a File Dropped by OpenSSL

Identifies when the OpenSSL utility creates a file followed by its execution. Malware authors may attempt to evade detection and trick users into executing malicious code by encoding and encrypting their payload and placing it in a disk image file. This behavior is consistent with adware or malware families such as Bundlore and Shlayer.
