Detects potential exploitation of PostgreSQL via logical decoding plugins, specifically targeting CVE-2026-6471. The rule monitors for the PostgreSQL server process spawning suspicious shell utilities or loading modules from locations outside of the expected PostgreSQL library or plugin directories, which is a common indicator of unauthorized code execution.

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.

This rule monitors endpoint events (file, process, and image load) for a specific malicious MD5 hash or the presence of a specific file name pattern 'Request for Quotation' often used in malicious lures. It provides visibility into potential execution of known malicious payloads.

Detects instances where Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader processes initiate suspicious child processes, such as common interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, WScript, CScript) or binaries (rundll32, browser executables) often used in malicious document-based attacks to achieve initial code execution.

This rule detects the Microsoft Edge browser (msedge.exe) being spawned by common productivity applications like Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Outlook using the '--single-argument' command-line flag. This pattern is frequently used to force a specific browser window to open a malicious URL, which can be an indicator of a malicious document or phishing email attempting to direct the user to a credential harvesting or malware delivery site.

Detects instances where a Java process spawns a shell (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, sh, or bash) that executes suspicious commands often associated with remote code execution (RCE) patterns like those seen in Log4j exploitation. The rule excludes common Java-based build tools to reduce noise.

Detects attempts to stop or reconfigure critical Windows security services (such as WinDefend, WscSvc, Sense, and WdNisSvc) using the Service Control Manager (sc.exe) or by modifying service registry keys via reg.exe. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to disable EDR/AV solutions to evade detection.

Detects Python processes (python.exe, pythonw.exe, py.exe) executing with high or system integrity levels and interacting with named pipes, a technique often used for inter-process communication, persistence, or process injection.

Detects instances where the SQL Server process (sqlservr.exe) initiates a child process that is a known command-line tool, script interpreter, or utility often used in living-off-the-land attacks, or when a child process is spawned from suspicious directory paths such as AppData, Temp, or Windows\Temp.

This rule monitors for email events where the email is flagged for suspicious properties (SPF/DKIM/DMARC failure, threat categorization) and includes potentially malicious attachments or URLs. It then correlates these suspicious emails with subsequent process execution events on the recipient's endpoint within a 30-minute window, identifying a potential successful execution of a phishing payload.

Detects attempts to tamper with Microsoft Windows Defender configuration, specifically by modifying exclusion paths via PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference), direct registry modifications, or forced Group Policy updates. It also monitors for the disabling of Tamper Protection via registry and the creation of scheduled tasks designed to apply Defender exclusions.

Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.
