<p>Detects the use of message-based injection by monitoring for sequences involving FindWindow (EnumWindows or EnumChildWindows), VirtualAllocEx or related API calls, combined with suspicious PostMessage/SendMessage (e.g., LVM_SETITEMPOSITION) use to SysListView32 controls, followed by LVM_SORTITEMS invocation instead of WriteProcessMemory.</p>

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=10 | DC0035 Process Access |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=8 | DC0020 Process Modification |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| etw:Microsoft-Windows-Win32k | SendMessage, PostMessage, LVM_* | DC0021 OS API Execution |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
TimeWindow_PostMessage_to_LVM_SORTITEMS | Defines temporal distance between payload copy and execution trigger |
TargetWindowClassName | Restrict detection to SysListView32 or similar GUI elements |
UserContextAnomalyThreshold | Adjusts detection sensitivity to users sending window messages across session boundaries |
InterprocessWindowMessagingFrequency | Raise alert when rate of message-passing to foreign GUI processes exceeds baseline |
