This rule detects the execution of processes associated with CLI proxy routers (such as CLIProxyAPI or router-for-me) that establish network connections to multiple AI provider APIs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini) within a short window. This pattern is indicative of efforts to bypass rate-limiting or allowlisting mechanisms commonly used by corporate environments to control and audit AI service interactions.

Detects the execution of known Windows accessibility binaries (e.g., sethc.exe, utilman.exe) where the internal metadata or original filename indicates that the process is actually cmd.exe. This is a common technique used by adversaries to gain unauthenticated command-line access with SYSTEM privileges via accessibility features, typically during the login screen process.

Detects a sequence of suspicious behaviors on a single host within a 1-hour window, indicative of an adversary establishing a foothold and preparing for malicious activity. The pattern involves: 1) System architecture discovery, 2) Downloading files from an external IP address, 3) Changing permissions of files in temporary directories (e.g., /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm), and 4) Executing files directly from those same temporary directories.

This rule detects the presence or execution of a file named 'GlobalProtect.exe' within the Palo Alto GlobalProtect directory. It focuses on identifying potentially masqueraded or unauthorized binaries by monitoring file events and associated process execution. This pattern is commonly used by attackers to disguise malicious files as legitimate security software to evade detection.

This rule detects the use of package managers like 'pip' or 'npm' to install specific suspicious software packages or tools often associated with supply chain compromise or malicious library installation (e.g., 'huggingface-cli', 'unused-imports', 'react-codeshift').

Detects instances where VLC media player is launched from common temporary or untrusted directories (e.g., Downloads, Temp) with media files and subsequently crashes within a short window (2 minutes), as indicated by a corresponding werfault.exe error report. This behavior may indicate an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities within the VLC application by using a maliciously crafted file.

This rule monitors for network connections to known command-and-control (C2) IP addresses and the execution or presence of files matching known hashes associated with the 'PhantomC2' threat group or malware family. It correlates data from DeviceNetworkEvents, DeviceFileEvents, and DeviceProcessEvents to identify potential compromise.

Detects ClickFix-style social engineering attacks where users are prompted to copy and execute malicious commands in a shell environment. The rule triggers on process execution of terminal or shell binaries (zsh, sh, cmd.exe, powershell.exe) containing indicators of obfuscated execution or remote code downloading, such as piped shell commands (curl | sh/zsh) or PowerShell encoded command execution.

Detects PowerShell or PowerShell ISE spawned directly from Windows Explorer (explorer.exe, covering both Start-menu launches and the Run dialog abused by ClickFix) whose command line carries a genuine obfuscation/evasion signal - true -EncodedCommand/-e usage, a hidden/minimized window flag, or a remote download cradle (IEX, Invoke-WebRequest, DownloadString, certutil, mshta, etc.) - while excluding invocations that point at an on-disk script file under a standard install path, since ClickFix payloads are inline one-liners rather than references to a local .ps1. Bare -NoProfile/-NoLogo flags no longer trigger alone, since they are common in legitimate automation.

This rule detects potential persistence attempts by monitoring for the execution and service installation commands of specific binaries: cplsupport.exe and wtass.exe. The rule triggers if these files are executed directly, invoked with specific command-line arguments (e.g., '--install'), or used in conjunction with the 'sc.exe' utility to create new services, which is a common technique for establishing persistence or privilege escalation.

This rule detects processes with names commonly associated with system daemons (e.g., kworker, fc-cache, chronyd, gvfsd) that are executing from non-standard, suspicious directories such as /tmp/ or user-defined hidden folders. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to masquerade malicious binaries as legitimate system processes to evade detection.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility, a technique often used by the CRPx0 ransomware to establish persistence on a system. The rule specifically monitors for the '/create' command-line argument while excluding common, benign updater processes such as those from Microsoft Edge, Google, and OneDrive.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to run an executable named 'wsc_updata.exe' from a temporary directory, or identifies svchost.exe initiating a process from that location. Such behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms where malicious actors attempt to run code from unauthorized or writable directories under the context of system processes or scheduled tasks.

Detects suspected exploitation of CVE-2026-81963, an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in the Windows Update stack. The rule monitors for the creation of reparse points, junctions, or symbolic links within update staging paths by Windows Update processes, followed by either the spawning of suspicious child processes or unauthorized file writes/renames outside of expected directories, which are indicative of a privileged link-following exploit.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating three distinct indicators: deletion of Volume Shadow Copies (using native Windows utilities), mass file modifications (>100 files in 15 minutes), and the creation or modification of files typically associated with ransom notes. The rule uses an inner join to ensure these events happen within a 30-minute window of each other on the same device.

Detects the silent installation of remote monitoring and management (RMM) software using 'msiexec.exe' initiated by scripting engines (powershell.exe, wscript.exe, or cscript.exe). The rule targets installations occurring in user-writable directories, such as Temp or Downloads, which are common staging locations for malicious droppers, while excluding known legitimate software deployment paths.

Detects potential local privilege escalation via Windows ALPC (Advanced Local Procedure Call) heap-based buffer overflow by identifying a non-SYSTEM Chrome process tree spawning child processes with SYSTEM privileges. The rule specifically monitors for suspicious child binaries or paths characteristic of exploit payloads while excluding legitimate Chrome update and crash handler processes.

Detects the execution of 'bun' during a Node.js package installation process (npm or node). This behavior can be indicative of a supply chain attack where malicious actors attempt to leverage alternative runtimes during the 'preinstall' phase or package installation to execute arbitrary code or bypass security controls typically associated with standard Node.js installations.
