falsepositives:
  - Unrelated software using the generic LoadLibrary.dll filename
  - Security testing or scanning that copies the published User-Agent components
  - Historical endpoint records retained after the affected application was remediated
level: medium
tags:
  - attack.persistence
  - attack.t1505.003
telemetry_assumptions:
  - Endpoint telemetry records file paths, loaded images, and SHA-256 values on KnowledgeDeliver or IIS hosts.
  - IIS, proxy, or web application telemetry maps the full request User-Agent into UserAgent for correlation.
  - Analysts correlate matches with the affected application, ViewState errors, IIS process behavior, and web-root changes.
