Detects node.exe spawning potentially malicious child processes such as curl, cscript, wscript, powershell, or cmd where the command line does not reference the legitimate npm registry. During normal npm operations, node should resolve packages and write to node_modules, not shell out to system utilities for downloading or executing scripts. This behavior was observed in the axios npm supply chain compromise (March 2026), where a trojanized postinstall hook in plain-crypto-js caused node to spawn curl and cscript to fetch and execute stage-2 RAT payloads from an external C2 server. This detection excludes legitimate npm registry traffic to reduce false positives from normal package installation activity.

Detects CrystalX-style browser clipper behavior when specific command-line patterns (CDP or clipper commands) appear in conjunction with a CrystalX temporary payload lineage. The temporary payload is identified by an executable named 'svc' followed by 3 to 6 digits, located in the user's AppData\Local\Temp directory.

Detects network connections to a suspicious Vercel application URL combined with file events initiated by command-line shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe) using 'curl' in their command line. This correlation suggests potential data exfiltration attempts as noted in the linked blog post.

Detects the execution of high-risk SAP ABAP programs identified in a sensitive program list. These programs, often used for administrative or internal testing purposes, can bypass standard SAP transaction-level authorization checks, making them attractive targets for privilege escalation or unauthorized data access.

Detects network activity consistent with a user attempting to download or install OpenClaw or a known variant — an open-source AI agent family classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA). Monitors for access to OpenClaw distribution URLs including GitHub releases, the install script endpoint, raw GitHub content, and npm registry paths for known variants. Also detects variant names appearing in process command lines at the time of a network connection, covering alternative package managers and runtimes such as Bun, pnpm, Yarn, and Deno in addition to traditional browsers and shell tools. Covers 33 known variants of the OpenClaw family including Clawdbot, Moltbot, Ironclaw, MalClaw, and others.

Detects installation and post-installation activity associated with OpenClaw and its known variants — an open-source AI agent family classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA). Monitors for npm global install commands, execution of shell installer scripts, OpenClaw-related binary or package files written to disk, and outbound network activity originating from known OpenClaw agent processes. Covers 33 known variants of the OpenClaw family including Clawdbot, Moltbot, Ironclaw, MalClaw, and others.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against Oracle WebLogic servers by identifying HTTP requests that target known WebLogic administrative or internal endpoints and simultaneously contain indicators of command execution payloads within the URL. Specifically, it looks for URLs containing '/console/', '/wls-wsat/', '/bea_wls_internal/', or '/_async/' combined with keywords like 'cmd=', 'bash', 'powershell', 'wget', 'curl', 'base64', 'IEX', or 'Runtime.getRuntime'. The rule also requires the source IP to be different from the target IP, indicating an external attacker. This pattern is typical of Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploitation attempts, including those targeting vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-21962.

This rule detects various indicators of compromise associated with the GlassWorm malware. It monitors for network connections to known GlassWorm remote IPs and domains, process activity involving specific GlassWorm filenames, folder paths, command line arguments (including wallet addresses and command terms), and registry modifications for persistence (Run/RunOnce keys with GlassWorm-related values). The rule correlates multiple evidence types to reduce false positives.

This rule detects potential abuse of Microsoft Excel where a process other than Excel itself is launched by Excel. This behavior can be indicative of malicious Excel add-ins (XLLs) or macros executing external code, a common technique used in phishing campaigns and malware delivery. The rule specifically looks for `excel.exe` as the parent process and a different executable (`ImageFileName`) as the child process.

This rule detects PowerShell processes executing commands that involve reading bytes from a .lnk file. This behavior is often associated with malware attempting to extract malicious content embedded within a shortcut file, potentially for further execution or to bypass security controls. The rule specifically looks for `powershell.exe` or `pwsh.exe` in the image filename or original filename, combined with command-line arguments containing both `.lnk` and `readallbytes`.

This rule detects the presence of specific 'NODE_CHANNEL' values ('anglmf', 'cryptoexth4', 'complexarchaeologist1') in process command lines or network event initiating process command lines on macOS systems. These values have been observed in the GhostClaw/GhostLoader malware campaign, indicating potential execution or network communication related to this threat.
