Incident-response playbook for malicious PowerShell — encoded commands, download cradles, Office-spawned scripts, in-memory execution, credential dumping, Defender tampering and registry persistence; use when Wazuh raises PowerShell or Sysmon detections (e.g. rules 92057, 91809, 92047, 92008, 91844, 92024) on Windows hosts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# IR Playbook — Suspicious PowerShell Severity **medium → critical** depending on payload and follow-on activity. MITRE ATT&CK: T1059.001, T1027, T1140, T1105, T1566.001, T1003, T1547.001, T1112, T1562.001. Rule IDs are from the stock Wazuh 4.14 ruleset (levels official). Coverage depends on **Sysmon** (group `sysmon_eid1_detections` etc.) and **PowerShell/Operational script-block logging** (Event ID 4104; group `powershell`) being collected. Full procedure and decoding guidance: `references/playbook.md`. ## 1. Detection signals | Behaviour | Wazuh rules (level) | Source | |---|---|---| | Base64 / encoded command | rules 92057 (L12, PowerShell spawned PowerShell with base64 command), 91809 (L10, Base64 decoding in script), 92071 (L12, WMI-spawned PowerShell with base64) | Sysmon Event ID 1, script block | | Office / mshta launch chain (phishing) | rules 92047 (L12, Office started mshta), 92048 (L15, and ran script), 92050 (L12, Office → verclsid), 92156 (L12, Office loaded vbeui.dll), 92214 (L15, Office-created suspicious file) | Sysmon Event IDs 1 / 7 / 11 | …

How to install
mdr add gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot/ir-playbook-suspicious-powershell@sha256:f9f1c6d25613a4afThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
