What it detects

This rule flags Windows DNS queries for two specific attacker-controlled domains: git-tanstack.com and filev2.getsession.org. These domains are associated with supply-chain compromise activity and subsequent command-and-control and credential exfiltration over the Session protocol. The detection relies on DNS query telemetry that records the queried domain name (QueryName) from Windows hosts.
