This analytic leverages alerts from Splunk AppDynamics SecureApp to identify and monitor exploit attempts targeting business applications. It specifically looks for vulnerabilities in web applications, including injection attacks (SQL, API abuse), deserialization vulnerabilities, remote code execution attempts, LOG4J, and zero-day attacks. These attacks typically aim to gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate sensitive data, or disrupt application functionality. Splunk AppDynamics SecureApp provides real-time detection by analyzing application-layer events and correlating attack behavior with known vulnerability signatures, categorizing attack severity, providing visibility into attacker tactics, and generating risk-based scoring and contextual alerts.

This detection identifies processes that have executed on a host in the last 7 days but were not observed in the previous 30 days. This is useful for detecting potentially malicious or anomalous activity, such as new software installations, LOLBins, or attacker tools introduced during a compromise.

Detects the use of the 'mdimport' command to index sensitive user directories. This is a key step in the Sploitlight TCC bypass technique (CVE-2025-31199), where a malicious Spotlight importer is triggered to run within the 'mdworker' process and exfiltrate data from TCC-protected locations by writing it to the system log.

This detection identifies when a user executes a potentially malicious command via the Windows Run dialog (Win+R). It monitors the RunMRU registry key for commands associated with living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins) and scripting engines like PowerShell, MSHTA, Bitsadmin, and others. Such activity is often a sign of initial access, where an attacker has tricked a user into running a payload downloader or stager command

CVE-2025-53770 is a critical zero-day vulnerability in on-premise Microsoft SharePoint Server, actively exploited in the wild, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) with a CVSS score of 9.8. This means attackers can execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable server without needing login credentials.

Detects the disabling of the 'execInstalledOnly' kernel setting on an ESXi host, a critical security control that prevents the execution of unsigned binaries. This is often followed by a host reboot to apply the change. This TTP is used by threat groups like UNC3944 to prepare the hypervisor for custom ransomware execution.

Detects the use of encoded or obfuscated IP addresses (hex, octal, etc.) within a URL in conjunction with common download commands. This technique is often used by adversaries to evade simple network-based detections or to obscure their infrastructure.

This rule detects the execution of 'csc.exe' (C# compiler) when it attempts to create or interact with a file named 'App_Web_spinstall0.aspx'. This specific file name is often associated with web shell activity or malicious code compilation on web servers, particularly in the context of .NET applications. The rule aims to identify potential malicious compilation and execution of web-based backdoors or implants.

This rule detects the execution of common command and scripting interpreters (cmd.exe, cscript.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, powershell_ise.exe, wmic.exe, wscript.exe) when their parent process is either w3wp.exe or svchost.exe, and the command arguments contain keywords related to SharePoint. This behavior can indicate suspicious activity within a SharePoint environment, potentially related to web shell execution, privilege escalation, or data exfiltration.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against SharePoint servers, specifically targeting CVE-2025-53770 (ToolShell). It has two parts: one for suspicious process creation (cmd.exe spawning powershell.exe from w3wp.exe) and another for malicious web request patterns in IIS logs (POST requests to /_layouts/15/ToolPane.aspx with specific query parameters and referrer).

This detection looks for reverse shell string patterns on an ESXi host, which may indicate that a threat actor is attempting to establish remote control over the system. It specifically identifies patterns commonly used in bash, python, and other shell commands to initiate reverse connections.

This rule detects instances where common web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Edge, Firefox) launch specific Living Off The Land Binaries (LOLBins) or scripting interpreters. The LOLBins and interpreters include `cmd.exe`, `powershell.exe`, `rundll32.exe`, `regsvr32.exe`, `msiexec.exe`, `mshta.exe`, `hh.exe`, `certutil.exe`, and `bitsadmin.exe`. This activity can indicate malicious intent, such as drive-by downloads, exploit kit activity, or initial access attempts where an attacker leverages a browser to execute system utilities for further compromise.
