+title: Potential File Override/Append Via SET Command
+id: 65e4c134-ee52-4099-9e35-5e17a4b45c62
+status: experimental
+description: |
+    Detects the use of the "SET" internal command of Cmd.EXE with the /p flag followed directly by an "=" sign.
+    Attackers used this technique along with an append redirection operator ">>" in order to update the content of a file indirectly.
+    Ex: cmd /c >> example.txt set /p="test data". This will append "test data" to contents of "example.txt".
+    The typical use case of the "set /p=" command is to prompt the user for input.
