Suspicious Livewire Update Activity with Process Spawn
This rule detects suspicious activity involving multiple POST requests to Livewire update endpoints on web servers, followed by the spawning of unusual processes from web server parent processes (php, apache, httpd, nginx, php-fpm). The spawned processes of interest include various shells (sh, bash), command-line tools (curl, wget, python, perl, nc), or commands containing base64 encoding, chmod +x, or /tmp/ paths. This behavior could indicate a web shell compromise or successful exploitation leading to command execution.
