The following analytic identifies the execution of suspicious processes typically associated with WebShell activity on web servers.
It detects when processes like `cmd.exe`, `powershell.exe`, or `bash.exe` are spawned by web server processes such as `w3wp.exe` or `nginx.exe`.
This behavior is significant as it may indicate an adversary exploiting a web application vulnerability to install a WebShell, providing persistent access and command execution capabilities.
If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to maintain control over the compromised server, execute arbitrary commands, and potentially escalate privileges or exfiltrate sensitive data.

Detects post-exploitation activities associated with FortiMail vulnerability CVE-2026-104286 (FG-IR-26-175). The rule identifies potential unauthorized persistence and data exfiltration, including the creation or modification of archive accounts with remote destinations, execution of 'migadmin' via root cron, and specific admin logout anomalies.

Detects post-exploitation activity against Ivanti ICS / Connect Secure
appliances on Windows hosts, where a script host (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, w3wp.exe)
drops a web shell (.aspx/.ashx/.asmx) into the appliance WebRoot or reaches into the
CredentialStore / system binaries. These behaviors are the hallmark of attackers
converting an authenticated file-write or SSRF into persistent remote code execution
and credential theft on edge devices.

Detects file removal, write, or rename operations performed by the Node.js process within the 'node_modules' directory, specifically targeting sensitive files like 'sharedLoad.min.js' or paths containing 'extended' or 'btree'. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity related to software supply chain compromise or unauthorized modification of dependencies within a Node.js application environment.

Detects reconnaissance commands (e.g., file listing, directory enumeration) executed as child processes of the JFrog Artifactory service. This behavior is often associated with the exploitation of Artifactory plugins or misconfigured endpoints that allow arbitrary code execution, enabling an attacker to perform discovery actions.

Detects the creation of a PostgreSQL replication slot using an unrecognized or potentially malicious logical decoding plugin. Adversaries may use custom or unauthorized plugins to exfiltrate database contents or intercept replication data streams, bypassing standard monitoring for common plugins like pgoutput or test_decoding.

This rule identifies a discrepancy between actual network connections processed by HAProxy and the corresponding entries in its server-side logs. Such inconsistencies can indicate the presence of a malicious backdoor compiled into or injected into the HAProxy process, designed to facilitate C2 traffic while evading standard monitoring by suppressing or omitting logging for those connections.

This rule detects potential exploitation or unauthorized interaction with an HAProxy service. It correlates process execution on Linux systems involving the HAProxy PID file with subsequent network traffic containing the suspicious string 'writeservice_info' within a one-hour window.
