The following analytic detects a Python process making an outbound network connection during package installation.
Adversaries can abuse `setup.py` build scripts by leveraging `distutils`/`setuptools` command classes to execute arbitrary code, including network beacons to third-party domains, the moment a malicious Python package is installed.
This activity is significant because it allows adversaries to establish a foothold or exfiltrate data without any direct interaction from the victim beyond running `pip install`.
If confirmed malicious, this could indicate a successful software supply chain compromise.

Detects EDR or JVM stack-trace or exception telemetry indicating the invocation of insecure deserialization methods associated with Log4jLogEvent$LogEventProxy, such as marshalledMessage.get() or MarshalledObject.get(). This pattern is indicative of potential exploitation attempts leveraging vulnerable Log4j libraries for remote code execution.

Detects package installation activities involving potentially compromised TanStack packages during the defined malicious publish window (2026-05-11 to 2026-05-12). The rule monitors common Node.js package managers (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun) and CLI tools for commands attempting to fetch identified affected versions of @tanstack/* libraries.

This rule detects file-based activity associated with a tool named 'gh-token-monitor', which is likely used for the monitoring or exfiltration of GitHub access tokens from a compromised host. The rule monitors for the creation or presence of specific scripts, configuration files, and directory paths associated with this activity, including files related to a 'claude' configuration.

Detects the loading of Linux kernel modules using insmod or modprobe from non-standard, writable directories such as /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm, /home, /root, or /opt. This behavior is highly indicative of an adversary attempting to install a malicious kernel module or rootkit to gain persistence or privilege escalation, while bypassing standard package management paths.

Detects unauthenticated command injection in Zimbra Collaboration (CVE-2026-73570).
The swatchdog Perl script spawns a shell that chains arbitrary commands after snmptrap,
indicating abuse of SNMP notifications via a crafted SMTP sender.

Detects the creation or modification of specific files within the /tmp directory, specifically those matching naming patterns associated with 'jasper-log' files or temporary pipe files. These patterns are often associated with temporary storage or data staging activities during post-exploitation or malware execution.

Detects the modification or replacement of critical Linux system daemons (crond, sshd, polkitd, etc.) followed by a service restart or reload. This behavior is indicative of potential trojanization or unauthorized tampering of system processes to establish persistence or inject malicious code.

Detects instances where common web server applications (e.g., Apache, Tomcat, IIS, Nginx) or Java runtime environments spawn suspicious child processes like command shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, sh, bash) or network utilities (wget, curl). This behavior often indicates exploitation of a web vulnerability, such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), allowing an adversary to execute commands or download further malicious payloads.

Detects the creation or modification of a specific file ('libvirtlog.so.0') located in '/usr/lib/' which acts as a gating mechanism for the curlRAT malware. The detection correlates this file event with processes commonly associated with system management that are executing with command line arguments indicative of malicious activity (e.g., 'reverse', 'pty').

This rule detects either the execution of a specific SSH daemon binary known to be trojanized or the creation/modification of files within the /var/lib/sshd/ directory, which is a common indicator of backdoor persistence or credential theft targeting SSH sessions.

Detects network connections from common Linux system binaries (agetty, atd, polkitd, crond) to identified suspicious external domains. These binaries typically do not communicate with external internet services, suggesting potential process masquerading or compromise.

Detects the creation or modification of files within the /tmp directory that follow a specific naming convention (t[number]_w.pipe) by an HAProxy process. This pattern is often associated with inter-process communication or potential post-exploitation activity where HAProxy is leveraged to handle named pipes for malicious command execution or data redirection.

001
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.

Detects a sequence of system reconnaissance commands consistent with a Linux stager preparing to deploy a malicious cron payload. The rule identifies the combination of process enumeration (specifically targeting haproxy or cron services), privilege verification, and OS environment profiling (hostname, kernel, or distribution details) occurring within a single execution context.

Detects the use of common Linux command-line utilities (sed, grep, awk, bash, sh) to perform operations on sensitive system logs or shell history files. The rule targets command strings indicative of log modification, filtering, or removal of audit trails, often associated with an attacker attempting to conceal malicious activity.

Detects modifications to the 'crond' daemon binary followed closely (within 5 minutes) by a restart or start command via common system management utilities. This behavior is highly indicative of potential persistence mechanisms where an adversary replaces a system binary with a malicious version.
