What

Remove url from the Windows living-off-the-land binary list in rule 932370.

Why

The word 'url' appears in countless legitimate contexts: URL parameters, API fields, form data, content descriptions. This makes it a significant FP source.

The actual Windows url.dll exploitation is already covered by other patterns that include the full invocation context (rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler).

Files changed

  • regex-assembly/932370.ra — removed url entry
  • rules/REQUEST-932-APPLICATION-ATTACK-RCE.conf — regenerated via crs-toolchain

The 'url' entry in the Windows command list causes frequent false
positives because 'url' appears in many legitimate contexts (URL
parameters, API fields, content descriptions).

include the full invocation context (rundll32 url.dll, etc.).
