Could you try fully restarting PowerShell and re-importing PSFalcon and let me know if it still happens?

[datorr2]

Could you try fully restarting PowerShell and re-importing PSFalcon and let me know if it still happens?

I went an did a Uninstall-Module PSFalcon -AllVersions and restarted all PowerShell sessions and reinstalled from PSGallery using Install-Module PSFalcon -Scope AllUsers.

The issue still persists.

Right before I was about to post this reply, I re-read your transcript and see you're passing via pipeline. I was not.

My syntax:

ConvertTo-FalconIoaExclusion -Detection $Detects[0]

Your syntax:

$det[0] | ConvertTo-FalconIoaExclusion

Running Get-Help ConvertTo-FalconIoaExclusion:

NAME
    ConvertTo-FalconIoaExclusion

SYNOPSIS
    Output required fields to create an Indicator of Attack exclusion from a Falcon detection


SYNTAX
    ConvertTo-FalconIoaExclusion [-Detection] <Object> [<CommonParameters>]


DESCRIPTION
    Uses the 'behaviors' and 'device' properties of a detection to generate the necessary fields to create a new
    Indicator of Attack exclusion. Specfically, it maps the following properties these fields:

    behaviors.behavior_id  > pattern_id
    behaviors.display_name > pattern_name
    behaviors.cmdline      > cl_regex
    behaviors.filepath     > ifn_regex
    device.groups          > groups

    The 'cl_regex' and 'ifn_regex' fields are escaped using the [regex]::Escape() PowerShell accelerator. The
    'ifn_regex' output also replaces the NT device path ('Device/HarddiskVolume') with a wildcard.

    If the detection involves a device that is not in any groups, it uses 'all' to target all host groups.

    The resulting output can be passed to 'New-FalconIoaExclusion' to create an exclusion.


PARAMETERS
    -Detection <Object>
        Falcon detection content, including 'behaviors' and 'device'

        Required?                    true
        Position?                    2
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByValue)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
        about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
