The following analytic detects when the AF_ALG kernel crypto socket interface being loaded more than 300 seconds after system boot, which is a primary kernel-level indicator of Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) exploitation activity on Debian and Ubuntu family systems.
The AF_ALG interface is required by the exploit to access the vulnerable authencesn crypto code path, and on systems where it is not auto-loaded at boot, its on-demand registration by an unprivileged process is a strong indicator of exploitation in progress.

Detects creation of new scheduled tasks (cron), systemd services, or startup entries that reference the reverse_ssh tool, consistent with attacker persistence established after vCenter compromise.
Detects the execution of various command-line tools (sc, net, powershell, wmic, taskkill, systemctl, launchctl) used to stop or disable system services. This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to stop security services, backup agents, or other critical infrastructure for impact, defense evasion, or prior to data destruction.
Detects Mirage2FA phishing stager artifacts by requiring multiple distinctive indicators together: XOR key 0xAD decode chain, LINX*/token placeholders, obfuscator.io _0x naming, api/xls C2 path, iframe injection, and SVG ECMAScript AiTM redirect
Detects the use of curl.exe or curl to communicate with the malicious domain 'i.apee.my.id', initiated by a VS Code integrated terminal process. This behavior is indicative of malicious VS Code extensions exfiltrating data via a hidden terminal session.
Detects the execution of native binaries, the creation/modification of Node-API (.node) files, or the loading of .node modules from Visual Studio Code extensions directories. This behavior is indicative of malicious VS Code extensions attempting to execute arbitrary native code for reconnaissance, persistence, or exfiltration.
Detects the botking RAT's C2 beacon: HTTPS POST with the 'i am botking' registration marker and form-urlencoded action=check polling, plus associated TLS/DNS indicators.
Detects a new build-dependencies entry adding a networking crate (ureq/reqwest/rustls) to a Cargo.toml that previously had no such dependency, correlated with a recent Cargo.lock modification, flagging a package gaining unexpected build-time network capability.
Detects malicious JavaScript injection attempts by msaRAT that leverage the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) Runtime.evaluate method. The malware attempts to execute specific code snippets to facilitate flow-controlled data transfers over WebRTC DataChannels using Base64ToArrayBuffer conversions and a 24KB buffer threshold.
The following analytic detects the creation of a Python site hook file (`sitecustomize.py` or `usercustomize.py`) within a `site-packages`/`dist-packages` directory in conjunction with a package installation process.
Python's `site` module loads these hooks from directories on `sys.path` before Python is executed.
If an adversary manipulates or plants one of these files, they can hijack the Python environment and execute their payload with every Python invocation, achieving persistence on the victim endpoint.
The VIPERTUNNEL backdoor was reported to abuse site hooks in order to import and trigger DLL execution.
If confirmed malicious, this could result in arbitrary code execution every time Python is invoked on the compromised host.

Linux Unexpected Process Spawning su
Cortex XDR
Detects instances where a non-root user process launches 'su' or a shell command executing 'su' from an unusual parent process (excluding standard shells like bash/sh/zsh/ksh or elevation tools like sudo/su). This is used to identify suspicious attempts to switch user context or escalate privileges.
Suspicious Discovery Command Execution
Cortex XDR
Detects the execution of common command-line utilities frequently used by adversaries for system, network, and account discovery after gaining initial access to a host.
The following analytic detects when su runs from a page-cache-corrupted binary.
When this happens a partial corruption of its runtime state can prevent it from resolving the identity of the calling user.
Under normal conditions, su logs both the target account and the invoking user.
When exploitation has occurred via this path, the invoking username field is absent.
This activity is significant because it indicates a possible privilege escalation attempt, allowing a user to gain root access.
If confirmed malicious, an attacker could achieve full control over the system, execute arbitrary commands, and compromise the entire environment.

Detects devices exhibiting sustained high CPU or memory utilization (>= 90%) for a duration of at least 30 minutes, which may indicate resource exhaustion, performance degradation, or potentially malicious activity such as cryptocurrency mining, denial-of-service, or other unauthorized resource-intensive processes.
Detects a suspicious sequence of commands within GitHub Actions runner environments where 'printf' is piped into 'base64 -w0'. This pattern is commonly used by attackers to encode CI/CD secrets before exfiltrating them via network requests, specifically to bypass plaintext string matching and simple keyword-based detection.
This rule detects the creation or modification of cron jobs that schedule recurring tasks (every 5 or 10 minutes) designed to download remote scripts using wget or curl and pipe them directly into a shell interpreter (sh or bash) for execution. This behavior is indicative of persistent malware, such as botnets, re-fetching and executing secondary payloads.
Detects completed administrative actions within the Cortex management console that result in a pause of endpoint protection. This action reduces security coverage on the targeted host and requires validation to ensure it aligns with authorized maintenance, troubleshooting, or incident response activities.
Detects TWINLOOT PyArmor 9.2.5-protected implant components via known file hashes combined with expected filesize range and filename/extension pattern (bootstrap-fat.pyc, pyarmor_runtime.pyd, .pyarmor.ikey, embedded vendor ZIP) to reduce false positives from renamed unrelated files with coincidental hash context
Flags Zoom Workplace, VDI Client for Windows, and Zoom Rooms processes running a version below the ZOOMSDAY-patched thresholds (7.1.5/7.0.6 Workplace, 7.0.11/6.6.16 VDI, 7.1.0 Rooms/SDK), using semantic major.minor.patch comparison per product line so versions are never compared against the wrong product's threshold.
Detects the creation of .php files within the wp-content/uploads directory tree by common web server or PHP-FPM processes. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to drop a web shell via file upload bypass vulnerabilities, such as those exploiting MIME-type manipulation.
Detects command-history clearing and log-deletion events (history -c, PowerShell history wipe, Clear-EventLog, wevtutil cl) co-occurring with another suspicious indicator (credential access or lateral movement) on the same host within a 1-hour window, excluding scheduled group-policy retention jobs.
