Windows · attack.mitre.org · ATT&CK Enterprise v19.2
<p>Detects extraction or mounting of container/archive files (e.g., .iso, .vhd, .zip) that originated from the Internet but whose contained files lack Zone.Identifier MOTW tagging. Correlates file creation metadata with subsequent execution of unsigned or untrusted binaries launched outside SmartScreen or Protected View.</p>

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4663, 4670, 4656 | DC0055 File Access |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=11 | DC0039 File Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=15 | DC0059 File Metadata |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
WatchedExtensions | Adjust monitored file types (e.g., .iso, .vhd, .zip, .gz, .rar) based on enterprise usage |
TimeWindow | Defines correlation window between extraction/mount and first execution of inner files |
TrustedExtractionTools | Whitelist known enterprise archivers and deployment mechanisms to reduce false positives |
KEV CVEs whose mapped technique this analytic detects
| CVE | Vendor / product | State |

| CVE-2023-36884 | Microsoft Windows | Stale |
| CVE-2025-0411 | 7-Zip 7-Zip | Mapped |
