Possible WinAPI Calls Through PowerShell Scripts (via ps_script)
This rule detects use of WinAPI functions in PowerShell scripts. It may indicate attempts to perform actions such as process injection, token stealing, or other hostile activities that abuse Windows API calls. These methods are frequently used to evade traditional file-based detections by loading and running code directly in memory.
