Detects changes to the IIS server configuration to disable HTTP logging for successful requests. This can be an indicator of an adversary attempting to hide their activity on a compromised web server.
This analytic identifies the execution of suspicious processes, such as `cmd.exe`, `powershell.exe`, or `bash.exe`, when they are spawned by web server processes like `w3wp.exe` or `nginx.exe`. This behavior is a strong indicator of WebShell activity, where an adversary exploits a web application vulnerability to gain persistent access and command execution capabilities on the web server. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary command execution, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.
Detects the removal of a previously installed IIS module.
Detects changes to the IIS server configuration to disable or remove the ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) logging/processing option. This could indicate an adversary attempting to evade detection by reducing the logging capabilities of the web server.
The following analytic detects the execution of AppCmd.exe to install a new module in IIS. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line executions. This activity is significant as adversaries may use it to install webshells or backdoors, leading to credit card scraping, persistence, and further post-exploitation. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to maintain persistent access, execute arbitrary code, and potentially exfiltrate sensitive information from the compromised web server.
This analytic identifies the creation of suspicious .aspx or .ashx files in known drop locations for Exchange exploitation. Specifically, it targets paths associated with HAFNIUM group activity and vulnerabilities like ProxyShell and ProxyNotShell. This activity is a strong indicator of web shell deployment, a common method for persistent access and remote code execution. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access, arbitrary command execution, and privilege escalation within the Exchange environment.
This analytic identifies the execution of the PowerShell cmdlet `Get-WebGlobalModule`, which lists all IIS Modules installed on a system. It leverages PowerShell input data to detect this activity by capturing the module names and the image paths of the DLLs. This activity is significant for a SOC because it can indicate an attempt to enumerate installed IIS modules, which could be a precursor to exploiting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to gain insights into the web server's configuration, potentially leading to further exploitation or privilege escalation.
The following analytic detects the addition of new IIS modules on a Windows IIS server. It leverages the Windows Event log - Microsoft-IIS-Configuration/Operational, specifically EventCode 29, to identify this activity. This behavior is significant because IIS modules are rarely added to production servers, and unauthorized modules could indicate malicious activity. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could use these modules to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence within the environment, potentially compromising the server and sensitive data.
The following analytic identifies attempts to access the Remote ShellServlet on a web server, specifically targeting Confluence servers vulnerable to CVE-2023-22518 and CVE-2023-22515. It leverages web data to detect URLs containing "*plugins/servlet/com.jsos.shell/*" with a status code of 200. This activity is significant as it is commonly associated with web shells and other malicious behaviors, potentially leading to unauthorized command execution. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain remote code execution capabilities, compromising the server and potentially the entire network.
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.
The analytic detects the usage of PowerShell Cmdlets - New-WebGlobalModule, Enable-WebGlobalModule, and Set-WebGlobalModule, which are used to create, enable, or modify IIS Modules. This activity is significant as adversaries may use these lesser-known cmdlets to manipulate IIS configurations, similar to AppCmd.exe, potentially bypassing traditional defenses. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to persist in the environment, manipulate web server behavior, or escalate privileges.
The analytic detects the presence of the Supernova webshell, used in the SUNBURST attack, by identifying specific patterns in web URLs. The detection leverages Splunk to search for URLs containing "*logoimagehandler.ashx*codes*", "*logoimagehandler.ashx*clazz*", "*logoimagehandler.ashx*method*", and "*logoimagehandler.ashx*args*". This activity is significant as it indicates potential unauthorized access and arbitrary code execution on a compromised system. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to data theft, ransomware deployment, or other severe outcomes. Immediate steps include reviewing the web URLs, inspecting on-disk artifacts, and analyzing concurrent processes and network connections.
Detects on the execution arguments associated with cmd.exe invocations originating from an active ASP.NET webshell.
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 an exploit attempt against Sitecore vulnerability CVE-2025-53690. This rule correlates an HTTP POST request to '/sitecore/blocked.aspx' with a subsequent 'ViewState verification failed' Windows Event Log (EID 1316) from the same source IP and target host.
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.
Detects suspicious installations of IIS native-code modules via the command line using `appcmd.exe`. This activity can be indicative of an adversary establishing persistence on a web server by installing malicious components or backdoors. The rule specifically looks for `appcmd.exe` executing with `install` and `module` in the command line, along with the `-name:` parameter, while filtering out legitimate installations performed by `iissetup.exe`.
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.
Detects the creation of specific ASPX web shells in the SharePoint LAYOUTS directory, a TTP associated with the exploitation of the 'ToolShell' vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2025-49706, CVE-2025-53770).
