This rule detects the execution of 'csc.exe' as a sub-process of 'WINWORD.EXE'. This specific process relationship is indicative of exploitation attempts leveraging CVE-2017-8759, where a crafted document (opened by Winword) can lead to the execution of arbitrary code, often using csc.exe (C# compiler) to compile and execute malicious code on the fly.

Detects exploitation attempts of CVE-2021-41773, a path traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. This flaw allows an attacker to map URLs to files outside the expected document root, potentially leading to information disclosure (e.g., source code of CGI scripts) or arbitrary file access if not properly protected. This vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild and specifically affects Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.49.

This rule detects when an ISO image is mounted on a Windows endpoint. It specifically looks for Event ID 4663 (An attempt was made to access an object) where the ObjectServer is 'Security', ObjectType is 'File', and the ObjectName starts with '\Device\CdRom'. The rule filters out common legitimate files found on mounted ISOs, such as 'autorun.ico', 'setup.exe', and 'setup64.exe', to reduce false positives. This activity can be indicative of an adversary using ISO images to bypass Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW) protections and deliver malicious payloads.

This rule detects attempts to access a webshell that has been dropped into a keystore folder on an Oracle WebLogic server. The detection is based on the URI query containing '*/config/keystore/*.js*', which is indicative of an attacker trying to interact with a webshell placed in a specific directory often associated with the CVE-2018-2894 vulnerability.

Detects exploitation attempts of the OWASSRF vulnerability targeting Microsoft Exchange servers using publicly available Proof-of-Concept (POC) code. This rule specifically looks for requests to the OWA endpoint attempting to access the PowerShell backend endpoint, characterized by a specific user agent, POST method, successful status code (200), and URI query containing both '/owa/mastermailbox' and '/powershell'. This indicates an attempt to leverage the vulnerability for remote code execution.

This rule detects the creation of a new process where the parent process is 'svchost.exe' with the command line containing '-k RPCSS'. This specific parent process signature is associated with the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. The rule aims to identify unusual child processes spawned by the RPC service, which could indicate an exploitation attempt of vulnerabilities like CVE-2022-26809. It's considered a 'long shot' detection, meaning it targets anomalous behavior rather than a direct exploit signature.
