3,324 detections

Detects the creation of DLL files in the `C:\Windows\System32` or `C:\Windows\SysWOW64` directories by processes that are not themselves located in these system directories. This behavior can indicate DLL planting, a technique used for persistence, privilege escalation, or defense evasion, often associated with DLL search order hijacking or side-loading. The rule excludes known legitimate activities such as printer driver installations and specific noisy legitimate software processes.

This rule detects the execution of common accessibility tools (osk.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, cmd.exe, reg.exe) with command-line arguments indicating an attempt to modify or leverage Windows accessibility features for persistence or privilege escalation. Specifically, it looks for command lines referencing 'Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Accessibility' and 'ATConfig\osk' or 'Accessibility\Session'. This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to maintain access or elevate privileges by manipulating accessibility programs like the On-Screen Keyboard.

Detects potential exploitation of the RegPwn privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-24291).
The exploit involves creating a registry symbolic link in a user-writable accessibility configuration path that is later accessed by a SYSTEM process.
This allows an attacker to write to an arbitrary registry location as SYSTEM. This rule detects the creation of the malicious registry symlink, the payload execution where osk.exe modifies a service, and the command-line arguments of the public proof-of-concept tool.

Detects outbound network connections from Windows endpoints to known Storm-2561 Command and Control (C2) infrastructure, including a specific C2 IP address and various domains used for credential exfiltration and initial access via spoofed VPN services.

This rule detects potential SSH brute force attacks by monitoring syslog for multiple failed SSH login attempts, connection closures, or invalid user attempts from a single source IP address within a short time frame. It specifically looks for keywords like 'error', 'Connection closed', 'authentication failure', and 'invalid user' in SSHD logs.

This rule detects specific JavaScript obfuscation patterns used by the Coruna exploit kit framework. The kit was observed being used by multiple threat actors, including UNC6353 and UNC6691. The rule looks for two distinct patterns in process command lines: a map/join/fromCharCode obfuscation pattern and an integer XOR obfuscation pattern, typically executed by JavaScript-enabled processes like web browsers or scripting hosts.

Detects multiple crashes from key iOS system processes within a short time window. This pattern is indicative of a failed memory corruption attempt, consistent with the sandbox escape and privilege escalation techniques used by the DarkSword exploit kit.

Detects instances where the telnetd process spawns the login binary with the '-f' flag. This behavior is indicative of exploitation of CVE-2026-24061, which allows an attacker to bypass authentication by injecting arguments into the login process via a crafted USER environment variable.

Detects attempts to bypass authentication in SolarWinds Web Help Desk by exploiting the page restoration mechanism (CVE-2025-40552, CVE-2025-40554). An attacker can specify a sensitive page via the 'wopage' parameter to gain access to post-authentication functionality without valid credentials.

This rule detects a high volume of UDP network connections originating from a single process on a device. A count exceeding 50 UDP connections from the same process to the same remote IP address is considered anomalous and could indicate a UDP flood or other denial-of-service attempt.

Detects attempts to exploit a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-40553) in SolarWinds Web Help Desk. Attackers use hex-encoded escape sequences (`\xNN`) and other JSON parsing gotchas to bypass security filters and achieve deserialization of malicious objects.

Detects attempts to exploit a deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2025-40553) in SolarWinds Web Help Desk. Attackers use non-standard hex escape sequences (e.g., `\xNN`) in JSON payloads to bypass security filters and achieve remote code execution.

Detects a vulnerable GitHub Actions workflow configuration known as a "Pwn Request". This occurs when a workflow is triggered by `pull_request_target` but checks out and executes untrusted code from the head of the pull request (`${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}`). This allows an attacker to run arbitrary code with the permissions of the target repository, including access to secrets. This pattern was actively exploited by the 'hackerbot-claw' campaign. This rule should be applied to files in the `.github/workflows/` directory.

Detects URL click events or browser launches where the URL targets Microsoft or Google OAuth endpoints and contains the combination of 'prompt=none' and 'scope=invalid'. This specific combination is used by attackers to force a silent error redirect to a malicious URI.

Detects the JavaScript XOR-based string reconstruction pattern used by the Coruna iOS exploit kit. This pattern maps an array of integers through String.fromCharCode with XOR to reconstruct code at runtime. Coruna contained 23 iOS exploits targeting iOS 13.0 through 17.2.1 and was used by UNC6353 (Russian espionage) and UNC6691 (Chinese financially motivated).
