Detects the creation of specific AI assistant configuration files (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Gemini, VS Code) by JavaScript runtimes (like node or bun). This activity may indicate a supply chain backdoor attempting to establish persistence within a project by modifying development environment configurations.

This rule flags many npm republications from an account soon after suspicious token activity. Stolen maintainer tokens cause rapid malicious releases. Lock the account and audit download stats. Ask the person who used the computer whether they installed new software or clicked a link, and involve your security team if the answer is unclear.

This rule detects attempts to create a setuid binary on a remote host via an SSH connection. It specifically looks for the string "chmod u+s" within TCP traffic destined for port 22 (SSH), indicating a command to set the setuid bit on a file. This activity is often associated with privilege escalation attempts where an attacker tries to create a backdoor or maintain persistence with elevated privileges.

Recent reporting indicates the campaign targeted GitHub repositories by inserting malicious GitHub Actions / CI workflows designed to steal secrets and credentials.

5,561 repositories were affected in roughly six hours

Attackers pushed 5,718 malicious commits.

The objective was credential theft from CI/CD environments, including:
cloud credentials
SSH keys
access tokens
CI/CD secrets
The campaign reportedly used:
fake automation-style commit identities such as build-bot, ci-bot, or similar
malicious .github/workflows changes

workflow triggers that either:
executed automatically on push / pull request, or
remained dormant until manually triggered
Web reporting further states the payload collected environment variables, cloud metadata credentials, and repository runner secrets, then exfiltrated them to 216.126.225.129:8443.

This rule detects a high volume of network connections (10 or more within an hour) from a single process to remote URLs containing 'artifact' or 'maven' on standard HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) ports. This activity could indicate legitimate software development or build processes, but also potentially malicious activities such as supply chain compromise, data staging, or exfiltration of development-related artifacts.

This rule detects processes making a high volume of successful network connections (3 or more within an hour) to domains containing 'codeartifact' or 'artifactory'. This behavior could indicate an attempt to download tools, libraries, or other artifacts, potentially as part of an ingress tool transfer or supply chain attack.

This rule detects when a single process rapidly creates or modifies three or more YAML files (files ending with '.yaml' or '.yml') within an hour. It specifically looks for these activities in paths containing 'config' or 'pipeline', which could indicate configuration changes, deployment activities, or potential malicious manipulation of system or application settings.

This rule detects when a single process account initiates a high volume (10 or more) of file move operations to folders associated with cloud storage services (e.g., 'cloud', 'dropbox', 'drive') within a one-hour window. This behavior could indicate data exfiltration or staging for exfiltration.

Detects network connections downloading the Bun runtime from the oven-sh GitHub repository, a behavior exhibited by the Hades loader. This rule specifically looks for HTTP network events where the URL contains 'github.com' and 'oven-sh/bun/releases/download', indicating an attempt to download the Bun runtime.

This rule detects attempts to overwrite the Master Boot Record (MBR) or disk structure using the 'dd' command via a remote SSH connection. Specifically, it looks for the string 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' within TCP traffic on port 22 (SSH). This command, if executed, would wipe the primary disk, leading to system destruction.

This rule detects the creation of a tar archive using the 'tar -czf' command, specifically when the archive is being created in the '/tmp/' directory over an SSH connection. This activity is indicative of data staging, where an attacker might be preparing data for exfiltration or further malicious use.

Detects the use of the GNU Debugger (gdb) to dump process memory (gcore) to disk, a technique abused by attackers to extract credentials residing in Runner.Worker. The rule specifically looks for process creation events where 'gdb' is in the command line along with process ID flags ('-p' or '--pid') and memory dumping commands ('dump memory' or 'gcore').

Detects enumeration of git credential helpers via 'git config --global credential.helper'. This command is used by adversaries, such as Miasma, to determine how credentials are stored (e.g., wincred, osxkeychain, store) before attempting extraction.

Detects tampering with 'binding.gyp' files by processes other than 'npm', 'node', or 'yarn'. Modifying these build scripts can allow attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution during the 'npm install' phase, indicating a potential supply chain compromise.

Detects the creation or modification of suspicious web-related script files (PHP, ASPX, JSP, SHTML) in common web server directories, excluding activities from legitimate web server processes. This rule aims to identify potential webshell deployment or other post-exploitation activities, specifically linked to APT28's targeting of Roundcube webmail servers.
