DET0205 Detect XSL Script Abuse via msxsl and wmic
AN0581 Analytic 0581
Execution of XSL scripts via msxsl.exe or wmic.exe using embedded JScript or VBScript for proxy execution. Detection correlates process creation, command-line patterns, and module load behavior of scripting components (e.g., jscript.dll).

No reviewed association in this snapshot.
Threat actor context
These are explicit actor-to-technique associations in the existing Threat Matrix snapshot, not attribution of an event or proof that a detector identifies the actor. No tool-to-actor relationship is inferred.

Exact source tags are not semantic relevance verdicts. Review actual rule conditions and observation points; imported rules are not backend-compiled or live-validated.
Pinned research references. No browser attack runner or production-validated detector is asserted. Imported procedures remain unvalidated; any bounded lab evidence has its own scope. ATT&CK / Atomic provenance · Detection provenance.
