Detects the loading of 'hostfxr.dll' from suspicious user-specific AppData folders by 'CrossDeviceService.exe' or 'Teams.exe'. This behavior can indicate an attempt to load a malicious .NET runtime, potentially for DLL hijacking or code injection, often associated with persistence or execution techniques.

This rule detects suspicious command-line activity indicative of SSH tunneling, external IP checks, and reconnaissance commands. It looks for specific IP addresses associated with known C2 or SSH tunnel infrastructure, SSH command-line options like 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no' and reverse tunnel flags ('-R', '-N'), the use of 'ifconfig.me' for external IP discovery, and various 'whoami' and 'groups' commands for system reconnaissance. It also flags activity related to 'FMAPP.exe' or 'FMAPP.dll'.

This rule detects PowerShell processes (powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, mbs.exe) that are executing commands to read the content of batch (.bat) or command (.cmd) files. This behavior has been observed in campaigns like Dead#Vax for self-parsing and in-memory payload extraction. The detection specifically looks for `Get-Content` or its alias `gc` within the PowerShell command line, targeting files with `.cmd` or `.bat` extensions.

This rule detects the creation of PowerShell aliases for high-risk cmdlets or .NET web client patterns. Adversaries may use 'Set-Alias' to create short, obfuscated aliases for common cmdlets like Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-Expression, or cmdlets related to Defender tampering, making their command-line activity harder to detect and analyze. This detection focuses on the 'ProcessCreated' event for PowerShell processes where 'Set-Alias' is used to map to a predefined list of suspicious cmdlets or patterns.

This rule detects network connections initiated by specific executables (clawdbot, node, moltbot, openclaw) from a local port (18789, 3000, or 8080) to a remote IP address that is not localhost, not within private IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12), and not within the 17.0.0.0/8 CIDR block. This could indicate command and control (C2) communication or unauthorized data exfiltration by potentially malicious bots or applications.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell activity that involves hidden windows, execution policy bypass, and attempts to download or execute files. It specifically looks for PowerShell processes launched by common parent processes like explorer.exe, cmd.exe, mshta.exe, wscript.exe, cscript.exe, or rundll32.exe, combined with command-line arguments indicative of stealthy execution and payload delivery. The rule identifies two main scenarios: 'Hidden Downloader and Execution' where PowerShell is used with hidden window styles and download commands, and 'Inline Launcher and Payload Delivery' where PowerShell is used with no profile and download/execution commands.

Detects attempts to perform Indirect Prompt Injection (IDPI) by embedding malicious instructions for AI agents or Large Language Models (LLMs) within web content. This rule identifies when common prompt injection keywords are present in conjunction with CSS techniques used to hide the text from being rendered in a browser, a method used to evade human review while targeting automated systems.

This rule is meant to help analysts quickly spot a high-confidence indicator related to Google WinRAR CVE-2025-8088 Exploitation. It is written to be easy to understand and to keep false alarms low by focusing on a very specific match: WinRAR launching a command shell or scripting engine. A match does not automatically prove an attacker is currently active, and it does not prove a file was executed, but it does mean the event is important because it lines up with a public threat intelligence source. When this triggers, start by identifying the host, user, and timeframe involved, then decide whether the activity is expected for that system. If it is unexpected, preserve the related logs and any files, and look for nearby events that could explain how the indicator appeared, such as a download, a new process, or a new connection. If the same indicator appears on multiple systems, treat it as a scoping signal and expand the investigation window. Use the reference link (https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/exploiting-critical-winrar- vulnerability) to document where the indicator came from and to support incident notes and reporting.

Detects the Apache ActiveMQ process (java.exe or wrapper.exe) spawning a command shell or web utility. This behavior is a strong indicator of post-exploitation activity following the exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2023-46604, often used as an entry point for ransomware like LockBit 5.0.

This detection identifies the execution of suspicious shell commands (such as download cradles, reverse shells, or unexpected GUI applications like Calculator) spawned as child processes of the Claude Code CLI ('claude'). This activity is indicative of potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) through the exploitation of malicious hooks in `.claude/settings.json` or malicious MCP server commands, as described in CVE-2025-59536.

This rule detects activity related to the EmEditor watering hole attack, specifically looking for PowerShell execution making requests to known malicious lookalike domains and network connections to the associated infrastructure. A match suggests a potential download of malicious code during what appeared to be a legitimate install or update. Investigation should focus on identifying the host, user, source of activity, and legitimacy of the install source, followed by evidence preservation, credential reset, and a search for follow-up malicious activity.
