This write-up deliberately avoids over fitting on the public proof-of-concept launcher name. Detection logic is centered on behaviors and native artifacts that are more likely to survive renaming, repackaging, or partial code reuse by real-world attackers. The goal is not to detect a specific proof-of-concept filename, but to generalize forensic guidance for identifying exploitation of the vulnerability itself.

The scope is therefore evidence-driven: the goal is to show what can still be detected on a Windows host using native artifacts only, even when endpoint telemetry is incomplete. In the investigated case, Sysmon was not deployed. Despite that limitation, the exploitation sequence could still be identified and reconstructed through Microsoft Defender Operational logs, Defender MPLogs, filesystem timeline artifacts, Prefetch, and ShimCache.
