This rule detects exploitation attempts against the Log4j RCE vulnerability, also known as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228). It looks for various JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) lookup patterns, including LDAP, RMI, LDAPS, DNS, NIS, NDS, CORBA, and IIOP, as well as obfuscated forms of these patterns, which are commonly used to trigger the vulnerability. The rule specifically filters out known vulnerability scanning traffic from Nessus to reduce false positives.

This rule detects attempts to execute common Windows operating system commands via HTTP GET requests, which is a common characteristic of web shell activity. The rule specifically looks for URL-encoded versions of commands like 'whoami', 'net user', 'cmd /c', 'powershell', 'tasklist', 'wmic', 'ssh', 'python', 'ipconfig', 'wget', 'curl', 'certutil', 'copy \\', 'dsquery', and 'nltest'. These commands are often used by attackers to gain information about the compromised system, escalate privileges, or establish further persistence after deploying a web shell.

This rule detects suspicious sub-processes spawned by common web server processes on Linux systems. It specifically looks for web server processes (Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, Node, Caddy, Tomcat, WebSphere) executing common system utilities and commands such as 'whoami', 'ifconfig', 'ip', 'uname', 'cat', 'crontab', 'hostname', 'iptables', 'netstat', 'pwd', and 'route'. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being used to execute commands on the compromised server.

Detects exploitation attempts of CVE-2021-41773, a path traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. This flaw allows an attacker to map URLs to files outside the expected document root, potentially leading to information disclosure (e.g., source code of CGI scripts) or arbitrary file access if not properly protected. This vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild and specifically affects Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.49.

This rule detects attempts to inject Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) payloads via GET requests in web access logs. It specifically looks for common XSS strings and encoded variations within the request URL, such as '<script>', '<iframe>', '<svg>', 'document.cookie', 'document.domain', 'onerror=', 'onresize=', 'onload=', 'onmouseover=', '${alert', 'javascript:alert', and their URL-encoded forms. The rule filters out requests that result in a 404 HTTP status code to reduce false positives.

Detects access attempts to the SUPERNOVA webshell, specifically looking for requests to 'logoimagehandler.ashx' with 'clazz' in the query string, or requests to 'logoimagehandler.ashx' resulting in a 500 HTTP status code. This activity is indicative of an adversary interacting with a deployed webshell.

Detects an attempt to leverage the vulnerable servlet "mboximport" for an unauthenticated remote command injection in Zimbra Collaboration Suite Email Server, specifically targeting CVE-2022-27925. The rule looks for POST requests to the '/service/extension/backup/mboximport' endpoint with specific query parameters ('account-name', 'ow', 'no-switch', 'append') and then checks for subsequent requests to '/zimbraAdmin/*.jsp' with a 200 status code, indicating potential successful exploitation and web shell access.

This rule detects potential ReGeorg webshell activity by looking for specific query parameters in web server logs. It focuses on requests that contain 'cmd=read', 'connect&target', 'cmd=connect', 'cmd=disconnect', or 'cmd=forward' in the URI query string, combined with a null referrer and null user agent, and using the POST method. This combination of indicators is highly suspicious for webshell communication.
