This rule detects outbound network connections to URLs associated with common file sharing services (e.g., Dropbox, Mega, Gofile) or temporary email providers (e.g., Temp-Mail). Such connections can indicate data exfiltration attempts, use of unsanctioned services, or communication with command and control infrastructure.

Detects the execution of the GS-Netcat network utility with flags characteristic of reverse shells (e.g., -e, -i, -S, -D) in conjunction with the creation of a systemd service unit file on the same host, which is a technique used by the Velvet Ant threat actor for persistence.

This rule identifies web requests containing path traversal sequences (such as '..', '..%2f', or null bytes) or attempts to access sensitive system files (e.g., 'etc/passwd', 'proc/self/environ') within URL query parameters. The rule normalizes different URL query fields and applies regex matching to detect common encoding bypass techniques used to exploit web applications.

Detects unauthorized file write or rename operations targeting core OpenSSH binary and library paths, excluding known package manager activities. This behavior is indicative of an adversary replacing legitimate system binaries to create a trojanized version of OpenSSH, as observed in the Velvet Ant 'Operation Highland' campaign, used to harvest credentials and log SSH sessions.

Detects an attacker-controlled SOCKS5 proxy masquerading as the Samba daemon (smbd) by renaming the process to 'smbd' and executing it with the '-D' flag from non-standard filesystem locations such as /tmp, /home, /var/tmp, or /dev/shm. This behavior is associated with the Velvet Ant threat group, which uses this technique to maintain persistent command-and-control communication while evading detection by blending in with legitimate system processes.

Detects suspicious file creation activities by system authentication processes (e.g., sshd, su, sudo, PAM) in known staging directories (/tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm) or SSH configuration paths. The rule looks for hidden files or files with specific extensions (.log, .dat, .bak) often associated with malicious backdoored components used to intercept and store credentials in plaintext.

Detects HTTP POST requests containing multipart form data that include suspicious PHP functions commonly associated with webshells, such as eval(), base64_decode(), system(), or passthru(). This indicates a potential attempt to upload or execute a malicious PHP script on a web server.

Detects anomalous process execution chains originating from Gitea or Gitea Act Runner processes. This rule is designed to catch post-exploitation behavior associated with CVE-2026-20896, where an improperly configured reverse proxy allows an attacker to impersonate an administrator. The detection identifies shells, scripting interpreters, and network utilities spawned by the Gitea service, which may indicate command injection, malicious git hook execution, or CI/CD job abuse following an unauthorized administrative access.

Detects Gitea act_runner spawning Docker containers with dangerous runtime flags (e.g., --pid=host, --privileged, --cap-add=ALL) that facilitate host namespace escape. This activity is indicative of exploitation of CVE-2026-20896, where malicious CI/CD workflow YAML files inject these options to break out of the container sandbox and access the host filesystem.

This rule detects the presence of files and processes associated with the 'Exploitarium' proof-of-concept (PoC) toolset. It monitors for specific filenames, process names, and path patterns linked to known harnesses, exploit scripts, and malware families commonly associated with the repository.

This rule detects file system artifacts and network activity associated with a malicious Chromium-based browser extension (ID: flkebkiofojicogddingbdmcmkpbplcd). The extension utilizes service workers to intercept browser search queries and capture keystrokes, subsequently exfiltrating the data to an attacker-controlled domain.

Detects HTTP requests to Gitea instances containing the X-WEBAUTH-USER header, which facilitates user impersonation when Gitea is misconfigured with 'REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES = *' in a Docker environment. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-20896) allows an unauthenticated attacker to impersonate any user, including administrators.

Detects the presence of a malicious Electron-based backdoor disguised as the Franz messaging application, commonly associated with the 'ClickFix' campaign. The rule identifies indicators such as a specific C2 endpoint, automated persistence via Electron login item settings, arbitrary JavaScript execution through a 'task.e' sink, and the creation of local persistence files like 'readme.txt' and 'setup.txt'.

This rule detects when a single process modifies or creates three or more YAML files ('.yaml' or '.yml' extensions) within folders containing 'config' or 'pipeline' in their path, within a one-hour window. This behavior could indicate an attacker modifying configuration or deployment files, potentially for persistence, defense evasion, or impact.

Detects instances where the Claude Code AI agent or its subprocesses are used to establish persistence. This is achieved by monitoring for crontab modifications or direct writes to SSH authorized_keys files, which are common indicators of post-exploitation activity following an Axiom-style indirect prompt injection.

Detects unusual DNS requests initiated by common development, scripting, and administrative tools (e.g., node, python, powershell, curl) to domains that follow patterns often used for webhooks, relays, or command-and-control services. The rule specifically excludes common package management or source code repositories to reduce noise.

Detects a multi-stage execution chain associated with the 'Contagious Interview' campaign, where Visual Studio Code (Code.exe) spawns a shell process (cmd, powershell, bash, or sh) that uses network retrieval utilities (curl, wget, or http) to download content from known Lazarus group staging domains within a two-minute window.

Detects outbound SSH connections to TCP port 2222 that exhibit specific cipher negotiation patterns (curve25519-sha256 and chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com) associated with a known malicious SSH server exploit scaffold for CVE-2026-55200. This vulnerability involves a pre-authentication heap out-of-bounds write in libssh2 clients.

Detects anomalous SSH connections originating from internal network appliances or DMZ-segment devices (e.g., storage, firewalls) to multiple internal network hosts. This behavior is indicative of lateral movement or SSH tunneling as observed in the VerdantBamboo BRICKSTORM campaign, where edge devices are leveraged as pivot points.

Detects indicators of persistence on Linux systems, specifically targeting unauthorized cron job creation/deletion in /etc/cron.d/, execution of suspicious shell scripts (ssync.sh), modification of startup scripts (e.g., /etc/rc.d/cron), and execution of binaries from world-writable directories by cron or system daemons. This rule is designed to identify the footprint of known Linux-based persistence mechanisms associated with service account exploitation.
