Detects the wp2shell post-exploitation cleanup pattern where a shell spawned by a web server process determines its current working directory, matches it against a wp-content/plugins path using the specific `case "$d" in */wp-content/plugins/*) cd / && rm -rf "$d";; esac` one-liner shape, and recursively deletes that directory to remove the deployed web shell plugin. This is tightened to require the exact case-statement/one-liner construction executed by a shell that is a child of a web server process, rather than any generic recursive delete under wp-content/plugins, which would also fire on legitimate WordPress plugin uninstall hooks that remove their own plugin directory. Absence of the plugin directory afterward should not be treated as evidence the host is clean.

Detects a WordPress-context web server process spawning a non-shell interpreter or downloader (curl|bash, python -c, wget/curl via sh -c) to retrieve second-stage tooling post-exploitation.

Detects a POST to the WordPress REST API batch endpoint whose request body embeds a nested /wp/v2/users call granting the administrator role, consistent with the wp2shell exploit chain where a forged customize_changeset/parse_request replay temporarily assumes an existing admin's identity to pass current_user_can('create_users') and create a new administrator account without any preceding authenticated login. To reduce false positives from legitimate onboarding of administrator accounts, this rule now requires either the absence of an authenticated WordPress session cookie on the request, or a newly created username matching the randomized/generated wp2shell naming pattern (wp2_*, w2s_*).

Detects a forged WordPress customize_changeset post that triggers wp_set_current_user with a mismatched or unauthenticated user context, the privilege-escalation bridge used in the wp2shell admin-takeover chain.

Detects anomalous server responses for WordPress REST API requests targeting /wp/v2/categories/0 where the error message 'block_cannot_read' is returned instead of the expected 'rest_term_invalid'. This behavior is indicative of attempted exploitation using the wp2shell batch-handler desync vulnerability.

Detects suspicious batch requests to the WordPress REST API (/wp-json/batch/v1) containing both a DELETE operation on category ID 0 and a POST operation to the core block-renderer, which is characteristic of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-27956 to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution.

Detects the mrmustard supply-chain implant establishing persistence by writing a crontab entry that invokes the compiled stealer 'hw_probe.pyc' every 15 minutes, or direct crontab command invocation referencing the file.

This rule monitors for file-level artifacts related to the ModHeader browser extension, specifically targeting folder paths and file names that match the extension's unique ID. This is typically used to identify the installation or download of this extension, which has been associated with malicious activity.

Detects network connections originating from browser processes to domains associated with ModHeader-related C2 activity, specifically 'stanfordstudies.com' and 'extensions-hub.com'. This pattern is indicative of malicious browser extensions exfiltrating data or reaching out to command and control infrastructure.

Detects the wp2shell unauthenticated SQL injection chain (CVE-2026-63030 / CVE-2026-60137) abusing the REST API batch-route confusion via author_exclude/author__not_in parameters against wp-json/wp/v2/posts or wp-json/batch/v1, where the extraction result reflects the WordPress 6.9 $wp$2y$ bcrypt-over-HMAC-SHA384 hash marker in the request query or response body. Requires both the specific unauthenticated REST SQLi vector AND the hash-format marker to fire, excluding legitimate authenticated admin export/reporting tools that reference wp_users through normal means.

Detects potential exploitation attempts targeting WordPress sites, specifically identifying unauthenticated REST API batch requests that attempt to forge posts with post_status 'parse' and post_type 'request' while including self-referential post_parent cycles. This pattern is associated with recent vulnerabilities enabling remote code execution.

Detects the execution of sendmail via a shell (sh, bash, dash) spawned by a web server process (Apache, Nginx, httpd) where the process working directory matches the wp2shell plugin pattern (wp2shell_<hex>). This is indicative of remote code execution or web shell activity associated with the wp2shell vulnerability, where the attacker uses sendmail for exfiltration or command output delivery.

Detects attempts to perform error-based SQL injection against WordPress instances associated with the wp2shell exploit chain. The rule monitors for the use of MySQL functions EXTRACTVALUE or UPDATEXML within query parameters that are typically targeted by the exploit (author_exclude, author__not_in) or when interacting with the batch REST endpoint.
