AN0736: Analytic 0736
Abuse of launchctl to execute or manage Launch Agents and Daemons. Defender perspective: correlation of suspicious plist file creation or modification in LaunchAgents/LaunchDaemons directories with subsequent execution of the launchctl command. Abnormal executable paths (e.g., /tmp, /Shared) or launchctl activity followed by network connections are highly suspicious.
Automated summary not available
Glexia publishes ATT&CK takes only after source-hash and schema validation. Until then, use the official MITRE definition below and the defensive relationship context on this page.

Object version and sync metadata
The fields below describe the current mirrored snapshot. When Glexia retains multiple ATT&CK source imports, you can open the table to compare the same object across releases (hashes and MITRE timestamps). For MITRE’s own release notes and roadmap, see ATT&CK resources — Updates.

Mirrored ATT&CK source object
The raw object is retained through the mirrored ATT&CK source bundle and object hash. The raw endpoint returns the exact object from the mirrored bundle when available.
External references and citations
MITRE external references are preserved separately from Glexia analysis so citations remain traceable to their original source records.
