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.
This analytic detects the configuration of TFTP services on Cisco IOS devices that could be used to exfiltrate sensitive configuration files. Threat actors like Static Tundra have been observed configuring TFTP servers to make device configuration files accessible for exfiltration after gaining initial access. The detection specifically looks for commands that expose critical configuration files such as startup-config, running-config, and other sensitive system information through TFTP. This activity is particularly concerning as it may represent an attempt to steal credentials, network topology information, and other sensitive data stored in device configurations.
Detects attempts to exploit the Sitecore Experience Platform HTML cache poisoning vulnerability (CVE-2025-53693). Attackers can send a crafted HTTP request to a specific XAML handler to poison the HTML cache, leading to website defacement or client-side code execution.
This detection rule identifies potential exploitation attempts of CVE-2024-36401, a JXPath injection vulnerability in GeoServer. Attackers can send malicious WFS, WMS, or WPS requests to achieve remote code execution. The rule looks for common GeoServer service paths and request types combined with Java code execution strings in web server or network logs.
Detects attempts to exploit a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2024-36401) in GeoServer. Attackers leverage crafted JXPath queries in WFS, WMS, or WPS requests to execute arbitrary commands via Java's getRuntime().exec() method.
The analytic detects when a Windows RDP client attempts to execute an RDP file from a temporary directory, downloads directory, or Outlook directories. This detection is significant as it can indicate an attempt for an adversary to deliver a .rdp file, which may be leveraged by attackers to control or exfiltrate data. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or further lateral movement within the network.
This analytic leverages alerts from Splunk AppDynamics SecureApp to identify and monitor exploit attempts targeting business applications. It specifically looks for vulnerabilities in web applications, including injection attacks (SQL, API abuse), deserialization vulnerabilities, remote code execution attempts, LOG4J, and zero-day attacks. These attacks typically aim to gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate sensitive data, or disrupt application functionality. Splunk AppDynamics SecureApp provides real-time detection by analyzing application-layer events and correlating attack behavior with known vulnerability signatures, categorizing attack severity, providing visibility into attacker tactics, and generating risk-based scoring and contextual alerts.
The analytic identifies the execution of the native mimikatz.exe binary on Windows systems, including instances where the binary is renamed. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and original file names. This activity is significant because Mimikatz is a widely used tool for extracting authentication credentials, posing a severe security risk. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to obtain sensitive credentials, escalate privileges, and move laterally within the network, leading to potential data breaches and system compromise.
The following analytic identifies the addition and quick deletion of a Service Principal Name (SPN) to a domain account within 5 minutes. This detection leverages EventCode 5136 from the Windows Security Event Log, focusing on changes to the servicePrincipalName attribute. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to perform Kerberoasting, a technique used to crack the cleartext password of a domain account offline. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or escalate privileges within the domain environment.
This rule detects attempts at Local File Inclusion (LFI) or Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities by analyzing web server logs for specific patterns in the request URI. It looks for directory traversal sequences ('../'), attempts to access common sensitive files like '/etc/passwd', or patterns indicating file inclusion via HTTP or file:// protocols.
This rule detects the execution of common command-line utilities (wget, curl, nc, bash, python, perl, php, sh) within web server directories. This activity is highly suspicious as it could indicate an attacker attempting to download malicious files, execute web shells, or perform other post-exploitation activities on a compromised web server.
KQL Query from file: Hunting IngressNightmare (CVSS 9.8)
The analytic detects outbound SMB (Server Message Block) connections from internal hosts to external servers. It identifies this activity by monitoring network traffic for SMB requests directed towards the Internet, which are unusual for standard operations. This detection is significant for a SOC as it can indicate an attacker's attempt to retrieve credential hashes through compromised servers, a key step in lateral movement and privilege escalation. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data and potential full system compromise.
This analytic detects suspicious modifications to Unix shell configuration files, such as `.bashrc` or `.profile`, which may indicate an attempt to alter system behavior or gain unauthorized access. Unauthorized changes to these files can be used to execute malicious commands, escalate privileges, or hide malicious activities. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized modifications to shell configuration files, this analytic helps identify potential security threats, allowing security teams to respond quickly and mitigate risks.
The following analytic detects attempts to stop a service on Linux systems. It leverages data from Linux Auditd. This activity is significant as adversaries often stop or terminate security or critical services to disable defenses or disrupt operations, as seen in malware like Industroyer2. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to the disabling of security mechanisms, allowing attackers to persist, escalate privileges, or deploy destructive payloads, severely impacting system integrity and availability.
The following analytic detects the suspicious auditd service stop. This behavior is critical for a SOC to monitor because it may indicate attempts to gain unauthorized access or maintain control over a system. Such actions could be signs of malicious activity. If confirmed, this could lead to serious consequences, including a compromised system, unauthorized access to sensitive data, or even a wider breach affecting the entire network. Detecting and responding to these signs early is essential to prevent potential security incidents.
The analytic detects cloud API calls executed by user roles that have not previously run these commands. It leverages the Change data model in Splunk to identify commands executed by users with the user_type of AssumedRole and a status of success. This activity is significant because new commands from different user roles can indicate potential malicious activity or unauthorized actions. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other damaging outcomes by exploiting new or unmonitored commands within the cloud environment.
The analytic detects the creation of cloud compute instances using previously unseen image IDs. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs to identify new image IDs that have not been observed before. This activity is significant because it may indicate unauthorized or suspicious activity, such as the deployment of malicious payloads or unauthorized access to sensitive information. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or further compromise of the cloud environment. Immediate investigation is required to determine the legitimacy of the instance creation and to mitigate potential threats.
The following analytic detects the suspicious sysmon service stop. This behavior is critical for a SOC to monitor because it may indicate attempts to gain unauthorized access or maintain control over a system. Such actions could be signs of malicious activity. If confirmed, this could lead to serious consequences, including a compromised system, unauthorized access to sensitive data, or even a wider breach affecting the entire network. Detecting and responding to these signs early is essential to prevent potential security incidents.
Detects potential Java webshell uploads to an SAP NetViewer server via HTTP POST requests with a 'Content-Type' of 'application/octet-stream' and URI stems containing '/irj/' and ending with '.jsp', '.class', or '.java'. This behavior might indicate exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-31324, which allows remote code execution through webshells.
Detects potential command execution via webshell in SAP NetViewer through JSP files with 'cmd' or similar parameters. This rule is designed to identify exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-31324, which allows remote code execution via a webshell by looking for specific URI patterns and query parameters indicative of command execution attempts, including common Linux commands and base64 encoded commands.
