Detects potential Velocity Template Language (VTL) injection attacks targeting API Gateway environments. The rule identifies suspicious payloads in HTTP request bodies or URLs that attempt to leverage Java-based classes (e.g., ProcessBuilder) for code execution. It also monitors for IAM scope bypass attempts, abnormal HTTP method/path combinations associated with API Gateway control-plane operations, and evidence of shell/system commands being spawned from API Gateway-related parent processes.

Detects web server processes (e.g., PHP, IIS, Apache, Nginx) spawning suspicious child processes including shells (cmd.exe, powershell, bash) or network utilities (curl, wget, netcat), which is often indicative of webshell exploitation or post-compromise activity.

Detects the creation of files with extensions commonly associated with web shells (.php, .aspx, .jsp) within typical web application directories by common web server processes such as httpd, nginx, php-cgi, and w3wp. This activity is indicative of a potential web shell deployment for persistent access or command execution.

This rule detects common web application processes (such as nginx, python, node, etc.) accessing the /proc/[pid]/environ file, which contains environment variables that may include sensitive information like credentials or configuration secrets. The rule correlates this access with subsequent external network connections initiated by the same process, which is highly indicative of data exfiltration after sensitive information has been retrieved.

003
This rule detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., httpd, nginx) or system utility services (e.g., sshd, crond, dropbear) spawn shell processes like bash, sh, or ash. This activity is a classic indicator of potential remote command execution (RCE) via web application exploits or the abuse of legitimate system services to run arbitrary commands.

003
Detects web traffic where the referrer header contains keywords associated with gaming or educational themes (such as 'bioshock', 'game', 'puzzle', 'math', 'quiz') combined with access attempts to sensitive URI paths (like '/code', '/token', '/secret', '/private', '/api-key') resulting in a redirect status (301-308). This behavior pattern is often indicative of automated reconnaissance or exploitation attempts using non-standard or obfuscated referrers to bypass simple security filters.

Detects incoming HTTP POST requests directed at PHP, ASPX, or JSP files that contain suspicious command execution patterns (such as cmd=, exec=, system(, or eval()). This behavior is highly indicative of an attacker interacting with a web shell to execute unauthorized commands on the server.

Detects exploitation attempts against GeoServer targeting CVE-2024-36401, a vulnerability involving unsafe OGC filter property name evaluation. The rule monitors for malicious HTTP patterns in incoming requests to OGC endpoints (ows, wfs, wms, wcs) and identifies subsequent suspicious process spawning by the GeoServer JVM instance that indicate successful remote code execution.

Detects unauthorized attempts to escalate privileges within the MyBB Administrative Control Panel (ACP). The rule identifies malicious activity such as creating an administrator user by assigning usergroup 4, or accessing restricted configuration settings via HTTP POST/GET requests directed at the admin index script.

103
Detects suspicious activities indicative of a MyBB limited ACP user escalating privileges to full administrator. This includes web server processes (php, httpd, nginx) spawning command shells, interacting with database management tools, creating suspicious session files, or writing executable files to critical directories (cache, templates, uploads, inc).

Detects post-exploitation activities related to the PHP 8.5.7 CVE-2025-15661 StreamBucket SOAP vulnerability. This rule monitors for PHP worker processes spawning shells, writing executable files to suspicious directories, executing system binaries on Windows, or initiating outbound network connections on non-standard ports, including specific proof-of-concept markers.

Detects remote code execution (RCE) attempts targeting PHP 8.5.7 StreamBucket SOAP vulnerability. The rule monitors for suspicious child process creation originating from web server processes (php-fpm, php, apache, httpd) including shells, scripting engines (python, perl, ruby), or network utilities (nc, curl, wget).

103
Detects instances where a user within the MyBB Admin Control Panel (ACP) attempts to create a new user account and assign it to the administrator usergroup (gid=4). This activity is indicative of a privilege escalation attempt by an authenticated user with limited administrative access or an attacker who has compromised such an account.

Detects the exploitation of CVE-2026-20896 in Gitea, where an unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted POST request to user registration or installation endpoints. The rule triggers when this network activity is followed by the creation of a new user account with administrative roles within a 10-minute window, indicating potential privilege escalation.

Detects common web server processes (IIS, Apache, Nginx, PHP, Tomcat) spawning command-line interpreters or utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe, cscript.exe, certutil.exe). This pattern is often indicative of exploitation of a web application to gain command execution on the host.

103
Detects HTTP requests where the URI or request body contains indicators of internal network references (e.g., localhost, 127.0.0.1, or RFC 1918 private IP address ranges). This pattern is consistent with Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempts, where an attacker tries to force a vulnerable web application to perform unauthorized requests to internal resources.

This rule detects the creation of web shell files (ASPX, PHP, JSP) in common web server directories such as 'wwwroot', 'inetpub', or 'var\\www'. This activity is indicative of an adversary establishing persistent access to a web server.

Detects the execution of the Linux uptime utility, either as a standalone process or via common web server parent processes (nginx, httpd, apache), particularly when associated with suspicious command-line arguments or network activity. This behavior is often associated with reconnaissance or post-exploitation activities.

This rule detects Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempts by monitoring for URL parameters containing malicious path injections. Specifically, it looks for sequences typical of differential parsing vulnerabilities where an attacker attempts to access sensitive local files (e.g., /proc/self/environ, /var/task/) or internal cloud metadata services (metadata.google.internal) by manipulating a 'url' parameter, often combined with attempts to bypass path validation using double-slash formatting.

This rule monitors for process creations spawned by common web application servers (e.g., nginx, python, java, php) where the command line arguments contain indicators of a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempt. Specifically, it looks for suspicious URL schemes (file:, gopher:, dict:, ftp:), potential authority confusion patterns (targeting cloud metadata IPs), and encoded directory traversal characters when paired with sensitive paths like 'etc' or 'proc'.

Detects incoming HTTP requests that use URL-encoding (e.g., %2e%2e, %2f) to obfuscate path traversal sequences targeting sensitive operating system or container application files, such as /proc/self/environ or /etc/passwd. This technique is often used to bypass security filters or URL validation mechanisms in web applications.
