Detects potential initial exploitation attempts against VMware Horizon deployments running a vulnerable version of Log4j (CVE-2021-44228). Specifically, this rule looks for process creation events where the parent process is 'ws_TomcatService.exe' and the created process is NOT 'cmd.exe' or 'powershell.exe'. This aims to catch unexpected executables launched by the vulnerable Tomcat service as a result of successful Log4j exploitation.

This rule detects exploitation indicators for CVE-2023-20198, a privilege escalation vulnerability in Cisco IOS XE Software Web UI. It looks for specific log messages related to Web UI installation operations, system configuration changes, or successful web logins, in conjunction with the use of specific user accounts ('cisco_tac_admin', 'cisco_support', 'cisco_sys_manager') that are not typically created by default or used by Cisco representatives. The combination of these events suggests an attempt to exploit the vulnerability.

Detects potential exploitation attempts of CVE-2022-29072, a 7-Zip privilege escalation and command execution vulnerability. This vulnerability affects 7-Zip version 21.07 and earlier on Windows, allowing privilege escalation and command execution when a file with the .7z extension is dragged to the Help>Contents area. This is caused by misconfiguration of 7z.dll and a heap overflow. The rule specifically looks for child processes like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or pwsh.exe being spawned under the 7zFM.exe process, excluding common command line arguments or file extensions that might indicate legitimate usage.

Detects the creation or update of Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) certificate templates that are configured with risky Extended Key Usages (EKUs) and allow the enrollee to supply the subject. This combination can be exploited for privilege escalation and credential access, as described in the 'Certified Pre-Owned' whitepaper, by allowing an attacker to request certificates with arbitrary subject names, potentially impersonating privileged accounts.

This rule detects suspicious user agent strings commonly used by various hacking tools, including vulnerability scanners, brute-force tools, and SQL injection tools, within proxy logs. The rule identifies specific strings indicative of tools like Arachni, Hydra, DirBuster, SQLMap, and others, which are often employed during reconnaissance, initial access, and credential access phases of an attack.

This rule detects attempts to exploit the ProxyLogon vulnerability (CVE-2021-26858) against Microsoft Exchange Server. Specifically, it looks for POST requests to '/ecp/DDI/DDIService.svc/SetObject' with query parameters indicating a 'schema=Reset' and 'VirtualDirectory' operation, combined with a username ending in '$', which is characteristic of the Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) phase of the attack used to manipulate virtual directories.

This rule detects potential exploitation attempts of CVE-2021-42278, also known as "noPac" or "sAMAccountName spoofing". The exploit involves an attacker creating a computer object with known credentials, then clearing its ServicePrincipalName (SPN) attribute. This manipulation grants the attacker additional permissions on the object, allowing them to make further changes. The detection logic specifically looks for Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) events (EventIDs 35, 36, 37, 38) which indicate anomalies in PAC (Privilege Attribute Certificate) or ticket requests, consistent with the post-exploitation phase of CVE-2021-42278 where forged tickets are used.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against the Log4j RCE vulnerability, also known as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228). It looks for various JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) lookup patterns, including LDAP, RMI, LDAPS, DNS, NIS, NDS, CORBA, and IIOP, as well as obfuscated forms of these patterns, which are commonly used to trigger the vulnerability. The rule specifically filters out known vulnerability scanning traffic from Nessus to reduce false positives.
