Carbon Black Cloud: Process identified as script instead of the actual process name

Carbon Black Cloud: Process identified as script instead of the actual process name

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud Console: All Versions
  • Endpoint Standard (formerly CB Defense): Version 3.3.x.x and Higher 
  • Microsoft Windows: All supported versions

Symptoms

Process, such as .docx, is being identified as a script instead of the actual process name

Cause

Endpoint Standard by design denotes the process as a script in order to get the exact reputation on its own rather than getting the reputation of a script interpreter host.

Resolution

This is by the design of the Endpoint Standard  and is expected behavior.

Additional Notes

The script \\<EndpointName>\vmc-yoda\folders\<Username>\desktop\test123.docx established a TCP/443 connection to X.X.X.X:443 (self.events.data.microsoft.com, located in Amsterdam 07, Netherlands) from X.X.X.X:51078. 
The device was off the corporate network using the public address X.X.X.X (<EndpointName>, located in <City> OR, United States). The operation was successful.
