Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a common internet-facing server process (e.g., w3wp.exe, nginx.exe) spawns a potentially malicious child process (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe), followed shortly thereafter by mass file modifications on the same host, which is characteristic of ransomware behavior following initial exploitation.

Detects a burst of file delete or overwrite operations initiated by a configured AI agent service identity. This behavior, if deviating from established baselines, may indicate a compromised agent performing malicious destructive activities such as mass data deletion or ransomware-style file destruction.

Detects anomalous, high-volume file deletion, modification, or resource deletion operations performed by an identified AI agent service account within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of a compromised AI agent being leveraged for mass data destruction, ransomware activity, or disruptive configuration changes.

Detects non-browser processes (e.g., non-chrome.exe/msedge.exe) modifying critical browser configuration files such as 'Secure Preferences' followed by near-simultaneous writes to extension-related directories like 'Extension State' or 'Extensions'. This pattern is indicative of a malicious attempt to bypass browser security integrity checks to silently install or load unauthorized extensions.

Detects the creation or writing of executable binary files (e.g., .exe, .dll, .bat, .ps1, .vbs, .scr) to sensitive Windows administrative shares (ADMIN$, C$, IPC$) via SMB. This behavior is indicative of lateral movement where an attacker attempts to stage tools or scripts on a remote system for subsequent execution.

Detects creation or modification of files under /etc/sudoers or /etc/sudoers.d/ by a
process outside sanctioned package- and configuration-management tooling. Writing a
passwordless sudo rule is the finishing move in CIFSwitch (CVE-2026-46243) and OVSwrap
(CVE-2026-64531) and a common root-persistence step generally. Enriched with writer
context (non-root, writable-path, shell one-liner, NOPASSWD) and a heuristic RiskScore /
TriagePriority, plus DeviceInfo host context (MachineGroup, OS, logged-on users).
Detection logic adapted from Elastic Security Labs - Linux LPE detection framework.

Detects patterns associated with the TeamFiltration backdoor module, specifically unauthorized OneDrive/SharePoint file modifications occurring shortly after an authentication from a previously unseen device/IP. The rule flags file changes (modifications, deletions, or renames) involving potential executable or script extensions, or those performed by the OneDrive SyncEngine app from a new source.

Detects unauthorized or anomalous modifications to machine learning model checkpoints. The rule triggers on significant deviations in weight delta percentages outside of scheduled fine-tuning windows, or when a model checkpoint hash is altered by users or service accounts without corresponding CI/CD pipeline approval or documented code review.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating a rapid burst of file creation, modification, or renaming events across multiple directories with prior execution of defense evasion commands, such as deleting volume shadow copies or terminating security-related processes. This sequence is characteristic of ransomware operators attempting to disable recovery options and security protections before commencing mass file encryption.

This rule performs a retrospective search across device file and network events for indicators of compromise associated with the UNC6240/ShinyHunters actor's activity against PeopleSoft, specifically linked to CVE-2026-35273. It monitors for known malicious file hashes (JSP webshells and executables), connections to known C2 infrastructure, and DNS lookups for specific malicious domains.

Detects the modification of AI agent configuration files (e.g., mcp.json, config.json) followed shortly by the agent spawning a child process that matches typical Model Context Protocol (MCP) server execution patterns. This behavior may indicate an attacker has modified the configuration to inject malicious server commands or tools that the AI agent will execute upon next initialization, effectively achieving persistent code execution via the agent's legitimate functionality.

This rule monitors Linux system logs for attempts to modify the /etc/sudoers file, utilize sudoers.d configurations, or execute commands with NOPASSWD privileges. These activities are common precursors to privilege escalation or persistence through elevated command execution.

Detects potential abuse of Cloud Shell to persist access in cloud environments. For GCP, it monitors the injection of SSH keys into instance or project metadata from a Cloud Shell session. For Azure, it detects a pattern involving Cloud Shell storage provisioning followed by a subsequent VM run-command or SSH public key update, indicating potential unauthorized management of virtual machines.

Detects a file named dnsapi.dll created/modified outside System32/SysWOW64/WinSxS (the only legitimate locations for the real system DLL). Now requires the file to BOTH land in one of the known NeedyMantis sideload staging folders AND match the published 3448-byte spoofed-config size -- previously the size check alone could match unrelated dnsapi.dll copies anywhere on disk; requiring both signals together removes that bypass.

Detects Impacket-style hands-on-keyboard staging: a NeedyMantis bundle file dropped by cmd.exe/wmiprvse.exe/services.exe carrying the distinctive remote-execution fingerprint (ADMIN$ share reference, %COMSPEC% invocation, or 2>&1 output redirection used by wmiexec/smbexec/atexec), followed within 15 minutes by execution referencing the same bundle folder with the same fingerprint. Requiring the ADMIN$/%COMSPEC%/redirection fingerprint on both the copy and the execution -- rather than just matching on common process names like cmd.exe or svchost.exe -- removes the bulk of ordinary software installation and update activity that also uses cmd.exe to stage files.
