Detects indicators of the TeamPCP LiteLLM supply chain compromise. This includes the creation or modification of specific malicious files (litellm_init.pth, tpcp.tar.gz, sysmon.py, sysmon.service), execution of commands related to persistence (systemctl for sysmon.service), data archiving (tar for tpcp.tar.gz), or direct execution of the backdoor (sysmon.py). It also identifies network connections or DNS queries to known command and control (C2) domains (models.litellm.cloud, checkmarx.zone) and HTTP requests to checkmarx.zone. Furthermore, the rule detects unauthorized AWS API calls (ListSecrets, GetSecretValue, DescribeParameters) made using the 'python-urllib' user agent, which is indicative of custom scripting rather than standard boto3 usage.
