creation of legitimate files in sudoers.d folder part of administrator work	t1053 t1053.003 linux sigma
false positives are possible if legitimate applications are allowed to register tasks that call a shell to be spawned. filter as needed based on command-line or processes that are used legitimately.	t1053 t1053.005 endpoint splunk
false positives may arise from legitimate actions by administrators or network operators who may use these commands for automation purposes. therefore, it's recommended to adjust filter macros to eliminate such false positives.	t1053 t1053.003 endpoint splunk
false positives may arise from legitimate applications that create tasks to run as system. therefore, it's recommended to adjust filters based on parent process or modify the query to include world writable paths for restriction.	t1053 t1053.005 endpoint splunk
false positives may arise when administrators or network operators create files in systemd directories for legitimate automation tasks. therefore, it's important to adjust filter macros to account for valid activities. to implement this search successfully, it's crucial to ingest appropriate logs, preferably using the linux sysmon add-on from splunkbase for those using sysmon.	t1053 T1053.006 endpoint splunk
false positives may occur with some of the selected binaries if you have tasks using them (which could be very common in your environment). exclude all the specific trusted tasks before using this rule	t1053 t1053.005 windows sigma
false positives will be limited to legitimate applications creating a task to run as system. filter as needed based on parent process, or modify the query to have world writeable paths to restrict it.	t1053 t1053.005 endpoint splunk
if known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.	t1053 t1053.003 t1074 t1078 t1552 t1552.007 gcp aws azure sigma

the main source of false positives could be the legitimate use of scheduled tasks from these directories. careful tuning of this search may be necessary to suit the specifics of your environment, reducing the rate of false positives.	t1053 t1053.005 endpoint splunk

while it is possible for legitimate scripts or administrators to trigger this behavior, filtering can be applied based on the parent process and application to reduce false positives. analysts should reference the provided references to understand the context and threat landscape associated with this activity.	t1053 t1053.005 endpoint splunk
