This rule detects indicators of the PitScaler campaign targeting Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway appliances, exploiting vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-88771, CVE-2026-88772). It identifies the full attack chain including initial DTLS heap corruption exploitation, WHIPSHOT web shell C2 patterns, SLAPSHOT tunneling artifacts, web shell deployment files, httpd.conf PHP configuration tampering for persistence, privilege escalation via setuid /bin/sh modification, and anti-forensic log tampering.

Detects DNS lookups and outbound network connections to known command and control (C2) and staging domains associated with the STAC4924 campaign. The rule performs strict matching on domain names to ensure that subdomains are identified while avoiding false positives from partial string matches within URLs.

Detects the first-ever observed network connection from a device to WhatsApp Web or Telegram Web within a 30-day lookback period. This behavior is used to identify potentially unauthorized companion-device linking to a user's messenger account, which could indicate credential theft or unauthorized access.

Detects when an AI agent or assistant process attempts to access sensitive local configuration or credential files (e.g., .aws/credentials, .env, id_rsa, service account keys, .netrc) that typically fall outside the scope of its intended function. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized access, potentially due to prompt injection or malicious exploitation of the agent's file system permissions.

Detects indicators of compromise associated with malicious Firefox wallet-clone extensions (Rabby/OKX clones) by checking for known file hashes, extension file names in Firefox profile directories, and network connections to known C2 domains and workers.dev subdomains.

Detects a potential web shell deployment by identifying a web server process creating or modifying a file in common web directory locations, followed shortly (within 10 minutes) by the execution of that same file.

This rule monitors the software inventory for vulnerable versions of OpenSSL and WolfSSL libraries. Specifically, it flags instances of WolfSSL prior to version 5.9.4, which are susceptible to peer-authentication bypass vulnerabilities. The rule is intended for patch management and asset exposure tracking rather than detecting active exploitation.

Detects modifications to core NetScaler startup configuration files 'ns.conf' or 'rc.netscaler'. Attackers often target these files after initial access to establish persistence by injecting malicious commands, rewrite, or responder policies to maintain access to the appliance.

Detects a sequential pattern where a browser process (Chrome, Edge, or Safari) accesses an AI chat platform's conversation API, followed within 5 minutes by a network connection to a known unauthorized exfiltration destination (api.pbapi.xyz). This pattern suggests the potential use of a browser-based tool or extension (e.g., Poper Blocker or similar) to intercept and exfiltrate AI chat history.

Detects unauthorized process activity that reads, copies, archives, or transmits the NetScaler ns.conf configuration file. This file contains highly sensitive information, including AAA/LDAP bind credentials and certificates. Adversaries may stage or exfiltrate this file following the exploitation of vulnerabilities (such as CVE-2026-88771 or CVE-2026-88772) on NetScaler appliances to facilitate further network compromise.

This rule detects potential post-exploitation activity on a NetScaler appliance where a crontab modification occurs within a short window (1 hour) following suspicious syslog entries indicative of oversized-parameter buffer overflow exploitation attempts (CVE-2026-88771/CVE-2026-88772).

Detects a shell command referencing a hidden, octal/self-deleting payload
file written to a VMFS datastore volume using a '.sys' filename prefix followed by a
numeric timestamp, combined with an 'rm -f' cleanup of the same file. CrowdStrike observed
this VMFS staging technique used to blend a decoded payload in with legitimate system files
before it is executed and then removed as an anti-forensics step, denying incident
responders a copy of the payload from disk.

Detects awk-based shell command construction on ESX BusyBox that interleaves
an esxcli/vim-cmd command string with invisible Unicode code points (zero-width space,
zero-width non-joiner/joiner, word joiner, Mongolian vowel separator, left/right-to-left
marks, or Plane-16 private-use characters generated via sprintf hex escapes), strips them
with gsub(), and passes the result to system(). CrowdStrike documented this as one of 21
validated ESX obfuscation techniques that leaves only the invisible-character-laden string
in shell logs while the executed command is fully hidden from cleartext review.

This rule detects potential command injection attacks targeting the Zimbra 'swatchdog' service, specifically involving the abuse of SNMP trap notifications (CVE-2026-73570). The attack works by injecting malicious shell metacharacters into the 'zimbra-MIB::zmServiceName' argument, which is processed by a Perl-invoked 'swatchdog' script. The rule monitors process execution events for shell commands spawned by the swatchdog utility that contain suspicious shell operators and the targeted MIB parameter.

The following analytic identifies DNS queries from internal hosts to dynamic domain providers. It leverages DNS query logs from the `Network_Resolution` data model and cross-references them with a lookup file containing known dynamic DNS providers. This activity is significant because attackers often use dynamic DNS services to host malicious payloads or command-and-control servers, making it crucial for security teams to monitor. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to bypass firewall blocks, evade detection, and maintain persistent access to the network.

Detects HTTP POST requests directed at Grav CMS endpoints where the __unique_form_id__ parameter contains directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../). This behavior is indicative of attempted exploitation of CVE-2026-42608, aimed at bypassing file system restrictions to write files to unauthorized locations outside the application's expected form data directory.

Detects runtime processes associated with AI agents or scripting environments (e.g., python, node, deno) accessing sensitive credential storage paths and files, such as SSH keys, cloud provider configuration directories, and local environment variables, which may indicate credential exfiltration.

This analytic detects the use of `curl.exe` with insecure flags such as `-k`, `--insecure`, `--proxy-insecure`, or `--doh-insecure`
which disable TLS certificate validation.
It leverages Cisco Network Visibility Module (NVM) flow data and process arguments
to identify outbound connections initiated by curl where TLS checks were explicitly disabled.
This behavior may indicate an attempt to bypass certificate validation to connect to potentially untrusted or malicious endpoints,
a common tactic in red team operations, malware staging, or data exfiltration over HTTPS.
