Detects Impacket-style hands-on-keyboard staging: a NeedyMantis bundle file dropped by cmd.exe/wmiprvse.exe/services.exe carrying the distinctive remote-execution fingerprint (ADMIN$ share reference, %COMSPEC% invocation, or 2>&1 output redirection used by wmiexec/smbexec/atexec), followed within 15 minutes by execution referencing the same bundle folder with the same fingerprint. Requiring the ADMIN$/%COMSPEC%/redirection fingerprint on both the copy and the execution -- rather than just matching on common process names like cmd.exe or svchost.exe -- removes the bulk of ordinary software installation and update activity that also uses cmd.exe to stage files.

Detects a .ps1-named file being loaded as an executable image or created as a process's own file name (both anomalous under normal Windows semantics, since PowerShell always runs scripts via powershell.exe/pwsh.exe as the process image, never as the .ps1 itself). Anchored to the known NeedyMantis sideload staging folders to exclude unrelated developer/test tooling elsewhere on disk that might trip a similar anomaly.

This rule detects potential backdoor deployment or persistence mechanisms in AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor. It identifies when specific configuration or hook files (e.g., settings.json, hooks.js) are modified, followed within a two-hour window by the execution of suspicious child processes (e.g., powershell.exe, curl.exe, python) initiated by the coding assistant's CLI tool.

Hunts telemetry for published NeedyMantis indicators: three known SHA-256 hashes (WinSparkle.dll first-stage loader and its encrypted archive, plus the older libcurl archive), the C2 domain corp.tripswithengine[.]com, and the C2 URL path /library/zip/ on that domain. Domain/URL matching parses the actual host out of RemoteUrl and requires an EXACT match (not substring 'has/contains'), so a different domain that merely contains 'corp.tripswithengine.com' as a suffix of a longer label (e.g. 'notcorp.tripswithengine.com') or as a prefix of an unrelated domain (e.g. 'corp.tripswithengine.com.evil.net') cannot match. No malicious IP address has been published for this campaign, so IP-based matching is intentionally not included.

Detects the creation of potential hook or startup scripts within hidden AI coding assistant directories (.claude, .vscode, .cursor) followed by the execution of a process from those same directories. This pattern is consistent with supply chain compromises where trojanized extensions or MCP servers are leveraged for code execution.

Detects network connections to common public LLM inference APIs (OpenAI, HuggingFace, Anthropic, etc.) originating from processes other than standard web browsers or authorized developer tools. This behavior may indicate an attempt to exfiltrate data, utilize remote compute, or perform automated C2 communication via public generative AI services.

Detects NeedyMantis-style DLL sideloading: a DLL is dropped at an anomalous ProgramData/ProgramFiles path mirroring known first-stage loader naming/path conventions (masquerading as Poedit, curl, Vim, TightVNC, Office, Broadcom, Intel, or NVIDIA components), AND that exact same DLL is subsequently loaded by a process within 10 minutes. Requiring the corroborating load event (rather than file presence alone) filters out benign drops such as installer staging, AV quarantine copies, or backup/sync tools that never execute the file.

Detects incoming web requests containing a 'pagename' parameter with URL-encoded path traversal sequences, which could allow unauthorized file access or directory traversal attacks against WordPress page-template resolution as described in CVE-2026-87902.

Detects network indicators associated with the Exvicy/ErrTraffic 'ClickFix' campaign. The rule identifies the retrieval of malicious HTML lure templates from compromised WordPress sites and subsequent telemetry/registration calls to an attacker-controlled 'api.php' script, which are precursors to the fake Cloudflare Turnstile 'Win+R' execution sequence.

Detects a suspicious execution chain where explorer.exe (typically via the Run dialog) executes PowerShell, which subsequently launches msiexec.exe to silently install the PuTTY SSH client. This sequence is characteristic of the 'ClickFix' technique, which uses social engineering to trick users into running malicious commands for remote access deployment.
