Stages and Predicates

Stage 1: process

process where event.type == "start" and event.action == "exec" and process.name == "unzip" and 
 process.args: "/*/CFNetworkDownload*" and process.args == "-d" and 
 (process.parent.code_signature.trusted == false or process.parent.code_signature.exists == false) and
 not process.parent.name == "figma_agent"

Exclusions

The rule actively suppresses these predicates.
