This rule detects potentially malicious activity on WordPress servers by correlating the creation of a new administrator account via the REST API with subsequent plugin installation activity and the creation of PHP files within the plugin directory within a one-hour window. This sequence is characteristic of an adversary establishing persistence or backdooring a WordPress site after gaining unauthorized access.

Detects processes accessing files within a user's ~/.ssh directory, excluding standard files like known_hosts and .pub files. This pattern is characteristic of malware attempting to exfiltrate SSH private keys, similar to the behavior observed in the mrmustard stealer.

Detects instances where common web server processes (such as php-fpm, apache, nginx, or w3wp) spawn a command interpreter (sh, bash, or cmd.exe). This pattern is highly indicative of potential web shell activity, where an adversary executes commands on the underlying host after exploiting a web application.

This rule detects when a web server process (such as apache, httpd, or php-fpm) modifies or creates a new PHP file within common WordPress directories (plugins or themes). This behavior is often indicative of an attacker attempting to plant a web shell to gain or maintain persistent access to a compromised server.

Detects obfuscated PHP code, specifically webshells, that utilize apostrophe-based concatenation (e.g., 'a'.'b'.'c') to break up strings into 1-3 character chunks. This technique is often used to evade signature-based detection.

Detects anomalous web server scanning activity where a single source IP performs rapid requests against multiple common administrative or login panel paths (/admin, /wp-admin, etc.) while utilizing randomized ephemeral source ports. This behavior is consistent with automated enumeration scanning, such as that performed by the TuxBot v3 malware.

This YARA rule detects specific ASP.NET web shells associated with the CL0P ransomware gang's exploitation of the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362). It identifies malicious activity by looking for custom HTTP headers ('X-siLock-') used by the exploit, specific hardcoded Azure storage interaction code snippets, and characteristic SQL injection queries targeting the application's user database.

Detects the installation or network activity associated with the malicious npm packages 'nodemon-sudo' (v3.1.16) and 'tslint-conf' (v7.2.1). These packages use typosquatting or brand impersonation (targeting 'nodemon' and 'pino') by leveraging forged maintainer and author metadata to trick developers into installing them.

Detects the 'ClickFix' social-engineering pattern where an adversary tricks a user into opening the Windows Run dialog (Win+R) and pasting a malicious command. This is identified by monitoring for powershell.exe spawned directly by explorer.exe that correlates in time with a new RunMRU registry entry.

Detects Microsoft Exchange EWS/OWA HTTP requests containing URL-encoded file scheme indicators (e.g., 'file%3a', '%66%69%6c%65'). This activity is associated with attempts to bypass security filters via scheme smuggling, potentially to facilitate Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exploitation leading to unauthorized local file access.

This rule detects unauthorized requests to the '/api/tokens/import/txt' endpoint, which is associated with the 'Device Code Lab' token management panel. Such activity is indicative of an attacker importing stolen session tokens to maintain persistent access to a compromised environment.

This rule detects potential brute-force or credential stuffing attempts against web application authentication endpoints by monitoring patterns of success and failure. It aggregates requests over 5-minute intervals, calculating a risk score based on high volumes of authentication failures relative to successful requests from individual source IPs targeting sensitive API paths (e.g., auth, session, login, token).

This rule detects processes that load Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) libraries (libpam) and subsequently initiate network connections within a 30-minute window. This behavior is often associated with credential dumping tools or malicious implants attempting to exfiltrate cached credentials or session information from memory on Linux and macOS systems.

Detects execution of JavaScript files using a deceptive .pdf.js double-extension via Windows Script Host (wscript.exe/cscript.exe) that subsequently launch PowerShell. This activity is indicative of the initial stage of the VEIL#DROP attack chain used to deliver payloads like PureLog Stealer.

Detects HTTP POST requests to LLM chat completion API endpoints containing keywords associated with phishing kit generation, malware scaffolding, and automated credential harvesting. This behavior is consistent with attackers using LLM-assisted supply chain or phishing campaigns.

The analytic detects a PowerShell script that enumerates camera devices on the targeted host. This detection leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging, specifically looking for commands querying Win32_PnPEntity for camera-related information. This activity is significant as it is commonly observed in DCRat malware, which collects camera data to send to its command-and-control server. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could indicate an attempt to gather sensitive visual information from the host, potentially leading to privacy breaches or further exploitation.

This rule detects potential lateral movement attempts originating from IIS web servers (identified by 'w3wp.exe' as the initiating process) to other internal IP addresses using common lateral movement ports (SMB, RDP, WinRM, SSH). It specifically looks for successful network connections from an IIS server to a private IP address on one of the specified ports, where the remote IP is not the local IP.

Detects Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempts using a double-slash URL manipulation technique. Adversaries append an absolute local file path (e.g., /etc/passwd or /proc/self/environ) after a GitHub blob URL to bypass URL validation logic commonly found in web proxies, API gateways, and serverless environments like GCP Cloud Run.

This rule detects potential brute force attacks against Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web App (OWA) by monitoring for a high volume of 401 Unauthorized status codes from non-internal IP addresses. It also correlates these authentication events with subsequent post-authentication actions, specifically identifying mailbox logins followed by mailbox searching or export requests, which may indicate account compromise and unauthorized data collection or exfiltration.

This rule detects potential unauthorized access and environment variable disclosure attempts against the Flowise API, specifically targeting the MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoints. It monitors for path traversal-like patterns using case variants (e.g., /api/v1/env), unauthorized access to configuration endpoints, and the exposure of sensitive data like API keys, database URLs, and passwords in API responses or request headers.
