Adversaries may manipulate application software prior to receipt by a final consumer for the purpose of data or system compromise. Supply chain compromise of software can take place in a number of ways, including manipulation of the application source code, manipulation of the update/distribution mechanism for that software, or replacing compiled releases with a modified version.
Targeting may be specific to a desired victim set or may be distributed to a broad set of consumers but only move on to additional tactics on specific victims.(Citation: Avast CCleaner3 2018)(Citation: Command Five SK 2011)

Comments
Google Security Ops is able to trigger an alert based on unusual file write events by 3rd party software (e.g., SolarWinds executable ".*\\solarwinds\.businesslayerhost\.exe").
This technique was scored as minimal based on low or uncertain detection coverage factor.
