7,276 detections

Detects when the Postgres service process or account attempts to modify system-level persistence mechanisms, such as scheduled tasks (cron/schtasks) or system services (systemd/startup folders), which are typical behaviors for an adversary using database service context to maintain persistence.

Detects modifications to the PostgreSQL configuration file 'pg_hba.conf' closely followed by a reload command (via pg_ctl or postgres processes). This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to modify authentication or connection access controls for a database.

Detects direct SQL UPDATE operations on the pg_authid system table to modify privilege flags (e.g., rolsuper, rolcreaterole) without using the authorized ALTER ROLE statement. Such activity often indicates an attempt to escalate privileges or modify database user permissions in an unauthorized manner, bypassing standard auditing and role management processes.

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.

Detects the presence of a malicious HAProxy binary (version 2.8.12) that has been recompiled with an embedded 'ted' plugin. The plugin is designed to intercept and manipulate web traffic, as evidenced by specific strings related to pipe file handling, logging, and registration operations found within the binary.

Detects the initialization of PostgreSQL logical replication slots using uncommon or unrecognized output plugins. Attackers may leverage logical replication plugins to exfiltrate data from a database by streaming changes as they occur, which can be an alternative to traditional mass-export techniques.

Detects incoming HTTP requests to a Caddy web server using the TRACE or TRACK methods. These methods are rarely used in legitimate production traffic and are frequently associated with Cross-Site Tracing (XST) attempts, which can be used to bypass security controls and steal sensitive data such as cookies.

This rule monitors the software inventory for outdated versions of the PostgreSQL database server. It identifies installations where the major and minor versions are below the threshold for current security releases (e.g., v18 < 6, v17 < 11, v16 < 15, v15 < 19, v14 < 24). Running outdated software increases the risk of exploitation of known vulnerabilities.

Detects the 'ted' backdoor or similar malicious activity attempting to manipulate HAProxy's internal connection counters by accessing or writing to the HAProxy process memory (/proc/[pid]/mem or /proc/self/mem). This behavior is characteristic of an attempt to evade backend logging and statistics tracking by directly modifying process memory structures.

Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.

Detects a PHP TypeError in Magento system logs where array_merge() is called with an integer argument following an include statement. This signature is indicative of exploitation attempts targeting Magento sites using the StyleSmuggler vulnerability, which often involves malicious file inclusion and code execution.

Detects evidence of persistence mechanisms associated with the StyleSmuggler implant. The rule monitors for malicious crontab entries and file system activity related to gvfsd-user, .gvfsd, and /tmp/.kw_ artifacts.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of files within directories associated with GVFS (GNOME Virtual File System) or files masquerading as GVFS components. Adversaries often use these paths and file names to stage or hide malicious tools and persistence mechanisms on Linux systems.

Detects incoming Grafana API requests directed at vulnerable mcp-grafana server instances identified by an outdated version (pre-1.1.0). This rule correlates host-level version discovery with application-layer logs containing suspicious 'grafana_api_request' method calls, which may indicate an attempt to exploit Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities.

This rule monitors for internal network connection attempts initiated by the 'mcp-grafana' process to destinations it has not contacted in the previous 14 days. By establishing a baseline of legitimate data source connections, the rule alerts when the process performs a rapid fan-out or discovery against multiple new internal hosts, which may indicate unauthorized network reconnaissance or lateral movement attempts by the Grafana service.
