Suspicious ClickFix/FileFix Execution Pattern (via process_creation)
This rule detects anomalous execution patterns where users are tricked into running hostile commands via clipboard manipulation, either through the Windows Run dialog (ClickFix) or File Explorer address bar (FileFix). Attackers abuse social engineering campaigns—such as fake CAPTCHA challenges or urgent alerts—encouraging victims to paste clipboard contents, frequently running mshta.exe, powershell.exe, or similar commands to infect systems.
