Detects potential tampering of Apache HTTP Server configuration files (httpd.conf) involving PHP engine or script handlers, followed closely by an Apache service reload (HUP signal) on the same device within a 10-minute window.
Detects web or FTP server parent processes (such as apache2, httpd, nginx, php-fpm, or proftpd) spawning shell or utility processes (such as bash, sh, python, nc, curl, wget), which is consistent with webshell execution or post-exploitation activities.
Detects anomalous activities associated with potential PHP2Shell exploitation or webshell deployment where a web server worker (such as Apache, HTTPD, or PHP) spawns a Unix shell containing suspicious utility tokens, drops a PHP file outside excluded directories, or creates a PHP session-derived file.
Detects a sequence where an UpdraftCentral management request is made to a WordPress site followed by plugin installation or user creation requests from the same source within a 30-minute window, potentially indicating unauthorized plugin installation or webshell deployment via compromised management endpoints.
Detects a web server process (apache2, httpd, php-fpm) spawning a Unix shell (dash/sh) that executes discovery commands such as id, whoami, hostname, or find. This is the durable post-exploitation signature of the wp2shell WordPress pre-auth RCE chain (CVE-2026-63030, CVE-2026-60137), where a malicious plugin or webshell executes commands through the web stack.
Detects repeated PHP memory exhaustion (OOM) errors combined with segmentation faults or session warnings within a short timeframe, which may indicate application instability, resource exhaustion attacks, or exploitation attempts.
Detects web servers (httpd, apache2, nginx, php-fpm) or Request Tracker (RT) Perl worker processes spawning suspicious child processes such as shells, downloaders, netcat, or Python interpreters, indicative of post-exploitation or web application compromise.
Detects HTTP requests to the WordPress REST batch endpoint (/wp-json/batch/v1 or /?rest_route=/batch/v1) carrying user agents associated with public wp2shell proof-of-concept tooling. This targets the pre-auth route confusion and SQL injection primitive in WordPress Core (CVE-2026-63030, CVE-2026-60137) that leads to full remote code execution.
Detects HTTP requests to the PeopleSoft PSEMHUB servlet using alternate
encodings such as the percent-encoded path %50SEMHUB. ShinyHunters/UNC6240 mass-exploit
Oracle PeopleSoft CVE-2026-35273 against internet-facing systems and encode the path to
defeat literal WAF signatures for /PSEMHUB/ (T1190, T1027).

Oracle PeopleSoft CVE-2026-35273 against internet-facing systems and encode the path to
defeat literal WAF signatures for /PSEMHUB/ (T1190, T1027).
Detects potential exploitation of the libcurl CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET CRLF injection vulnerability via web/proxy request logs where curl user-agents are observed with carriage return/line feed characters or injected request lines within the URI path.
This analytic detects unexpected outbound network connections initiated by known webserver processes such as `httpd.exe`, `nginx.exe`, or `tomcat.exe` to common file sharing or public content hosting services like GitHub, Discord CDN, Transfer.sh, or Pastebin.
Webservers are rarely expected to perform outbound downloads, especially to dynamic or anonymous file hosting domains. This behavior is often associated with server compromise,
where an attacker uses a reverse shell, webshell, or injected task to fetch malware or tools post-exploitation.
The detection leverages Cisco Network Visibility Module flow data, enriched with process context, to identify this highly suspicious behavior.

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 for Linux web-server service accounts (such as www-data or nginx) attempting to elevate privileges by modifying file permissions to set SUID/SGID bits or by executing common system binaries with shell-escape patterns commonly documented in GTFOBins for privilege escalation.
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 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.
Detects web server processes (e.g., IIS w3wp.exe, Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM) spawning suspicious child processes such as command shells (cmd, powershell, bash, sh), network utilities (curl, wget), or interpreters (python, perl). This behavior is strongly indicative of exploitation of a public-facing web application and the subsequent execution of a webshell or post-exploitation command activity.
Detects unauthenticated path traversal attempts targeting Grav CMS web servers. The rule identifies HTTP requests containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../, %2e%2e%2f) directed at sensitive configuration files (.yaml) or directories (/user/config, /system/config), consistent with exploitation patterns such as CVE-2026-42608.
Detects the creation of web scripts (aspx, php, jsp) in typical web server directories followed by suspicious shell activity (cmd, powershell, or shell execution) originating from web server processes within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being dropped and subsequently utilized for command execution.
This rule detects potential post-exploitation activity where a web server process spawns a command shell, executes system discovery commands, and immediately initiates an outbound network connection. This behavior is indicative of a web-based exploit leading to interactive command execution and subsequent C2 communication.
This rule detects potential credential stuffing attacks by monitoring high-volume authentication attempts against web application login endpoints. It specifically flags scenarios where a high number of unique source IP addresses interact with a login endpoint (e.g., /login, /signin) within a short window, which is characteristic of automated, distributed credential stuffing tools using proxy networks to rotate IPs.
Detects incoming web server requests containing suspicious, URL-encoded SQL injection patterns indicative of automated probing or exploitation attempts, such as UNION SELECT, boolean-based injection fragments, and comment sequences.
