The following analytic detects instances where Java, or Tomcat processes spawn a Linux shell, which may indicate exploitation attempts, such as those related to CVE-2021-44228 (Log4Shell).
This detection leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process names and parent-child process relationships.
This activity is significant as it can signify a compromised Java application, potentially leading to unauthorized shell access.
If confirmed malicious, attackers could execute arbitrary commands, escalate privileges, or maintain persistent access, posing a severe threat to the environment.

Detects suspicious curl commands spawned from shell processes on CI runners (such as GitHub Actions) that encode and POST environment variables using command substitution.
The following analytic detects PHP command-line interpreters executing code supplied directly on the command line with
CLI code-execution options such as -r / --run and -B / -R / -E / -F, or PHP runtime INI overrides that can load code.
It also detects code supplied to PHPDBG through the -s option and FrankenPHP php-cli execution. It covers common Linux
CLI executable names, including php, versioned PHP binaries, phpdbg, and FrankenPHP. PHP-CGI and PHP-FPM are excluded
from the CLI option branch because they do not support the PHP CLI inline -r option. This behavior can be used legitimately
for administration and automation, but unexpected or obfuscated inline PHP execution may indicate an attacker using an
installed interpreter to run commands without dropping a script file.

Sweeps endpoint telemetry for known IOCs from the trojanized anthropic.claude-code (Open-VSX v2.1.313) SSH backdoor: C2 IP 134.209.82.225, beacon URL, extension.js and tunnel key SHA-256 hashes, and ifconfig.me lookups from VS Code-family/extension-host processes. Results are summarized per device and IOC.
The following analytic detects PHP command-line interpreters executing code supplied directly on the command line with the CLI -r / --run options, or code supplied to PHPDBG through standard input.
It covers common CLI executable names on Linux and Windows, including php.exe, php-win.exe, the legacy php-cli.exe name, versioned Linux php binaries, phpdbg, and FrankenPHP's php-cli subcommand.
PHP-CGI and PHP-FPM are excluded because they do not support the PHP CLI inline -r option.

Detects the presence of the compromised anthropic.claude-code VS Code extension version 2.1.313 or its associated bad hash on disk, reverse SSH tunneling spawned by code editors or extension hosts, and network connections to known malicious C2 IP address 134.209.82.225.
Detects indicators of compromise associated with a trojanized Claude Code VS Code extension distributed through Cursor's marketplace. The rule identifies file modifications to authorized_keys, process executions establishing reverse SSH tunnels, specific hardcoded C2 IP addresses, and references to the attacker's SSH key 'svc-telemetry'.
Detects behavioral artifacts associated with Impacket remote execution tools (such as wmiexec, smbexec, and atexec) on target hosts using Microsoft Defender XDR process telemetry. It identifies command-line signatures spawned by system processes like WmiPrvSE.exe, services.exe, and svchost.exe.
Detects SSH backdoor artifacts of a trojanized Claude Code editor extension: connections to the tunnel host, reverse SSH forwards to local port 22 and dropped persistence files. Needs Defender for Endpoint network, process and file events and covers only published indicators. The query ran without errors in a live tenant.
Detects a VS Code-family editor or extension host process running 'git config --global user.email' and, within one minute from the same parent process, a curl public-IP lookup (ifconfig.me / api.ipify.org), the host-profiling step of the trojanized anthropic.claude-code loader.
The following analytic identifies the execution of suspicious processes typically associated with WebShell activity on web servers.
It detects when processes like `cmd.exe`, `powershell.exe`, or `bash.exe` are spawned by web server processes such as `w3wp.exe` or `nginx.exe`.
This behavior is significant as it may indicate an adversary exploiting a web application vulnerability to install a WebShell, providing persistent access and command execution capabilities.
If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to maintain control over the compromised server, execute arbitrary commands, and potentially escalate privileges or exfiltrate sensitive data.

Detects persistence mechanisms installed by the trojanized Claude Code extension: macOS LaunchAgent plists, Windows scheduled tasks or Startup scripts, and Event ID 4698 scheduled task creation, when created by Node.js, Electron, Cursor, or VS Code processes
Detects Node.js processes spawning shells, script hosts or download tools, which is how post exploitation of a Node.js server would look after CVE-2026-111497 (Brotli decoder out of bounds write, fixed in 22.23.4, 24.22.1 and 26.12.1). Devices that Defender Vulnerability Management lists as vulnerable are flagged and sorted first, and rows are still returned when the CVE is not listed. It excludes npm, npx, yarn and pnpm processes and GitHub Actions runner action processes, which start shells for build scripts. It does not detect the memory corruption itself. The query ran without errors in a live tenant.
Detects persistence mechanisms installed by the trojanized Claude Code extension on Cursor or Node-based applications. On macOS, it detects the creation of LaunchAgent property list files. On Windows, it detects scheduled tasks created via schtasks.exe or event logs, and modifications to the Startup folder.
Detects Tor client execution on Windows endpoints, including the tor.exe binary and the Tor client bundled with Brave Browser (Private Window with Tor). Tor can hide command-and-control or exfiltration traffic, and some malware ships or drops a Tor client. To triage, check the parent process, image path, command line and SHA-256 hash, and confirm whether the user is authorized to use Tor.
Detects when a web server account (such as www-data, apache, nginx) spawns a shell (bash, sh, etc.), 'su', or 'unshare', which may indicate web application exploitation and post-compromise activity. The query ran without errors in a live tenant.
Detects indicators of compromise associated with a compromised AhsayCBS server, including connections to malicious infrastructure, execution of suspicious child processes or administrative utilities by cbssvcX64.exe, and the presence of known cryptominer artifacts and scripts. The query ran without errors in a live tenant.
Detects potential remote code execution, web shell activity, and post-exploitation behaviors originating from PHP worker processes on internet-facing hosts, referencing patterns associated with php2shell vulnerabilities. PHP-UP-2026
Detects the execution of unauthorized Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools shortly after either Microsoft Teams activity or a surge of inbound emails (email bombing) targeting the same user, a common precursor pattern used by threat actors for social engineering and initial access.
Detects potential web server remote code execution through suspicious child processes launched by PHP, FastCGI, Apache, and IIS workers. Identifies reverse shells, encoded commands, payload retrieval, reconnaissance, and temporary PHP execution.
Detects the execution and network activity of known tunneling, proxy, and VPN tools such as Chisel, SoftEther, and Tor based on process names, command-line arguments, file paths, and network connections.
