Detects the presence of Cisco SD-WAN vManage software, vulnerabilities related to CVE-2026-76504, associated file artifacts, and process executions across endpoints using inventory and event logs.
Detects anomalous access to Cisco SD-WAN Manager (vManage) infrastructure. This includes unauthenticated REST API access, unauthorized NETCONF sessions, and suspicious OMP/DTLS peering connections, which may indicate exploitation of vulnerabilities (such as CVE-2026-20127 or CVE-2026-20182) or unauthorized management access.
Detects network activity and successful administrative logins to Cisco SD-WAN vManage devices originating from IPs associated with threat actor UAT-8616. The rule also flags any successful vmanage-admin logins originating from outside known trusted management network ranges, which may indicate exploitation of CVE-2026-20127 or CVE-2026-20182.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a user successfully authenticates via SSH to a Cisco SD-WAN Manager (vManage) using the 'vmanage-admin' account, followed by REST API calls to enumerate device inventory (vedges or controllers) from the same source IP within 30 minutes. This behavior is indicative of potential post-exploitation activity or reconnaissance associated with the UAT-8616 campaign.
Detects successful SSH authentication to administrative accounts ('vmanage-admin' or 'admin') on Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (vManage) devices originating from IP addresses associated with the threat actor UAT-8616. This activity relates to exploits targeting CVE-2026-20127 and CVE-2026-20182 for unauthorized access via authentication bypass or certificate abuse.
Detects the unauthorized addition or peering of rogue devices within a Cisco SD-WAN fabric. This rule monitors vManage and vBond logs for successful peering or registration events that correlate with known rogue indicators, such as certificate validation failures, mismatching system information, or untrusted peer identities. This activity is often indicative of attackers attempting to gain persistent control over the SD-WAN infrastructure, potentially using authentication bypass vulnerabilities or stolen credentials.
Detects signs of unauthorized persistence establishment on Cisco SD-WAN nodes (vManage, vSmart, vBond). This rule monitors for modifications to authorized_keys files, creation of suspicious local accounts (e.g., troot), and configuration changes to permit root SSH logins, which are known tactics used to maintain persistent backdoor access following exploitation.
Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2026-20127 on SD-WAN controllers, specifically unauthorized SSH authentication to the vmanage-admin account followed by suspicious NETCONF activity, usage of unauthorized tenant list CSV files, or execution of suspicious tenant-upload scripts.
This rule detects potential indicators of compromise related to CVE-2026-20127 in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN systems. It focuses on two main areas: 1) suspicious successful SSH authentications for the 'vmanage-admin' account, and 2) SD-WAN control plane connection events indicating a new 'up' state. The first part looks for specific log entries related to publickey authentication for 'vmanage-admin' from any source IP. The second part identifies control connection state changes to 'up' and extracts peer type, peer system IP, and public IP from the raw logs. The rule aims to surface events that require human confirmation by comparing them against known network designs and change records, as these events can indicate unexpected relationships between devices or unauthorized privileged access.
Monitors for command-line activity indicating the addition of SSH keys to authorized_keys files or the modification of the SSH daemon configuration to permit root login on Cisco SD-WAN devices. This is a common persistence technique used by attackers after gaining initial access, such as through CVE-2026-20127.
Detects the deletion or clearing of critical Cisco SD-WAN log files. This is a common post-exploitation technique used by attackers to cover their tracks after compromising a device, for instance, after exploiting CVE-2026-20127. The rule identifies direct file deletions and commands used to clear or truncate log file content.
