0070
Detects when a command-line interpreter (cmd.exe or powershell.exe) writes or modifies a file within a SharePoint \TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS directory. This activity is suspicious as it could indicate an attempt to deploy a web shell or other malicious code to gain persistent access or execute commands on the SharePoint server. The rule specifically excludes a known legitimate SharePoint automation script to reduce false positives.

This rule detects the creation of a registry run key (Run or RunOnce) that attempts to establish persistence by executing a DLL via regsvr32. It specifically looks for registry value data containing 'regsvr32' followed by a DLL path. The rule then correlates this registry event with a file creation event for the same DLL on the same device within a specified timeframe, indicating a potential persistence mechanism where a malicious DLL is dropped and then configured to run at startup.

Detects the creation of a PHP web shell file named 'hafuab.php' in '/usr/local/webui/' by an 'echo' command, which includes PHP code to display 'test - Open source project (github.com/test/test)' and 'phpinfo()'. This activity is indicative of an attacker attempting to establish persistent access and gain information about the web server environment.

This rule detects potential malware infections and command and control activity by correlating email, endpoint file, and network events with indicators of compromise (IOCs) sourced from an external OSINT feed. It specifically looks for SHA256 hashes in email attachments, domains and URLs in email links, MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 hashes of created files on endpoints, and IP addresses and domains in network connections (both direct and HTTP inspected connections). The rule aims to identify initial access, execution, and command and control phases of an attack, potentially involving Cloudflare Tunnels as suggested by the rule's title and the OSINT source.

Detects the creation of '.library-ms' files by common archive extraction tools or Windows Explorer, which may indicate an attempt to exploit CVE-2025-24054. This vulnerability can lead to automatic outbound SMB or WebDAV authentication requests, potentially exposing NTLMv2-SSP hashes to an attacker without user interaction beyond archive extraction on unpatched systems.

This rule detects the creation of Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policy files (.cip or .p7b) within the `C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity\` folder by a process running with 'High' integrity. Attackers can leverage this technique to deploy custom WDAC policies that block Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) components, effectively bypassing security measures and enabling undetected malicious activity after a system reboot.

The analytic detects the writing of files from known remote access software to disk within the environment. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on file path, file name, and user information. This activity is significant as adversaries often use remote access tools like AnyDesk, GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, and TeamViewer to maintain unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to persist in the environment, potentially leading to data exfiltration, further compromise, or complete control over affected systems.

This analytic identifies the creation of suspicious .aspx or .ashx files in known drop locations for Exchange exploitation. Specifically, it targets paths associated with HAFNIUM group activity and vulnerabilities like ProxyShell and ProxyNotShell. This activity is a strong indicator of web shell deployment, a common method for persistent access and remote code execution. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access, arbitrary command execution, and privilege escalation within the Exchange environment.

This rule detects activities associated with the SmartLoader malware, including the creation or renaming of specific files (ODE3.exe, Module.class, Lua51.dll) in suspicious user application data directories, the creation or update of scheduled tasks with a specific name ("SecurityHealthService_ODE3"), and the DLL sideloading of "lua51.dll". These activities indicate potential execution, persistence, and defense evasion by the SmartLoader malware.
