This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the modification of Excel macro security settings (specifically VBAWarnings or AccessVBOM) or the creation of autorun.inf files on removable drives. It identifies these behaviors when they coincide with the execution of Synaptics.exe within a 30-minute window, suggesting a potential correlation between local administrative tasks and malicious document-based payloads or portable drive staging.

Detects the creation of a shortcut file (.lnk) in the Windows Startup directory by the 'UpdateAssistant.exe' process. The rule specifically looks for evidence of a masquerading attempt where the shortcut appears to be an application update helper but potentially references or exhibits characteristics of being linked to a notepad execution, suggesting persistence via shortcut file manipulation.

Detects the creation of PHP files within the 'wp-content/uploads/elementor/forms/' directory of a WordPress installation. This behavior is highly suspicious as it often indicates an attempt by an attacker to deploy a web shell or other malicious script following successful exploitation of the Elementor plugin, which allows for arbitrary file uploads.

Detects the presence of the 'Mushr00w' PHP web shell, typically associated with exploitation of vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins such as Super Forms or Elementor Pro. The rule looks for identifying strings within the file, including specific filenames, HTML title tags, and common PHP file upload function signatures used by this shell.

Detects instances where WerFault.exe or WerMgr.exe, running with SYSTEM privileges, loads a DLL file from the Windows\System32 directory that was created within 10 minutes of the image load event. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or hijack techniques used to achieve privilege escalation.

This rule detects potentially malicious modifications to PostgreSQL configuration files or the creation of new library files (.so or .dll) by the PostgreSQL service process. It also flags when the PostgreSQL service process is initiated with command-line arguments referencing 'shared_preload_libraries', which can be abused to load arbitrary code or malicious extensions into the database engine.

002
Detects anomalous activity originating from PostgreSQL processes, including the spawning of shells (cmd, powershell, sh, bash), access to sensitive files (e.g., /etc/shadow, SSH keys), and file creation outside the standard PostgreSQL data directories, which is consistent with the abuse of SQL functionality like pg_read_file() or lo_export().

Detects when the Postgres service process or account attempts to modify system-level persistence mechanisms, such as scheduled tasks (cron/schtasks) or system services (systemd/startup folders), which are typical behaviors for an adversary using database service context to maintain persistence.

Detects the creation or modification of specific files within the /tmp directory, specifically those matching naming patterns associated with 'jasper-log' files or temporary pipe files. These patterns are often associated with temporary storage or data staging activities during post-exploitation or malware execution.

Detects the modification or replacement of critical Linux system daemons (crond, sshd, polkitd, etc.) followed by a service restart or reload. This behavior is indicative of potential trojanization or unauthorized tampering of system processes to establish persistence or inject malicious code.

Detects the creation or renaming of files with an 'ELAM' (Early Launch Anti-Malware) naming convention pattern outside of standard system driver directories, performed by processes that are not verified Microsoft-signed binaries. This may indicate an attempt to install or masquerade as a boot-start driver for persistence or subverting security controls.

Detects suspicious file activity within directories named 'ShieldCrash' followed by a cloud provider registration or placeholder creation event within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized software or an adversary attempting to stage data for exfiltration or create persistent storage aliases outside of legitimate cloud client applications.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity where multiple critical processes (such as database engines or email clients) are terminated in a short time frame, correlated with a high volume of file creation or modification events on the same device. This behavior is indicative of destructive activity, such as ransomware encrypting data stores or disabling defensive software.

Detects unauthorized remote write operations (via SMB, Named Pipes, or TCP) to the Windows Certificate Services CertLog directory (C:\Windows\System32\CertLog\). This directory contains sensitive CA database, transaction logs, and checkpoint files. Any modification by a process other than the legitimate certsvc.exe is indicative of potential CA database tampering, malicious log manipulation, or anti-forensics activity.

Detects the creation and immediate deletion of a .dylib file within the 'Library/Application Support/updated/instances/' directory on macOS. This pattern is often associated with the ProRAM technique where a shared library is written to disk, loaded via dlopen, and quickly removed to evade static file-based detection.
