Detects the presence of small PHP files containing both PHP execution tags and path traversal sequences. This pattern is indicative of a web shell or malicious script placed outside of intended directories via path traversal exploitation.
Detects the PoisonedRefresh implant's UNIX domain socket backdoor by (1) file activity on the uniquely-named /run/bigtlog.pipe socket initiated by an Apache/httpd process, and (2) process command lines containing the implant's hardcoded authentication token. Removed the earlier generic 'bash spawned by httpd' heuristic, which fired on legitimate CGI/mod_php/admin automation that shells out from the web server and was the dominant false-positive source.
Detects suspicious GET requests to the Magento '/customer/section/load/' endpoint with specific parameters ('sections=customer' and 'force_new_section_timestamp=true'). These requests are indicative of reconnaissance activity related to the StyleSmuggler campaign, potentially associated with exploitation of Magento vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-54236.
Detects instances where base64-encoded PHP code, obfuscated behind a 'data:image/gif;base64' MIME type prefix, is written to the disk as a .php file or initiated by web server processes. This pattern is commonly used in file upload bypass attacks to execute arbitrary code.
This rule detects suspicious process execution originating from web server applications (e.g., php-fpm, apache2, nginx). It looks for common shell interpreters or command-line utilities (e.g., bash, curl, python) triggered by these web server processes when they contain command execution function strings in their command lines (e.g., system, shell_exec, passthru), which is a common indicator of web shell activity or post-exploitation command execution.
Detects unexpected child process execution (php, bash, sh) by web server processes (php-fpm, apache, nginx) while accessing specific Magento application directories (var/report, var/log/system.log) or parameters often associated with the StyleSmuggler exploitation technique, indicating potential Remote Code Execution.
Detects instances where common web server applications (e.g., Apache, Tomcat, IIS, Nginx) or Java runtime environments spawn suspicious child processes like command shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, sh, bash) or network utilities (wget, curl). This behavior often indicates exploitation of a web vulnerability, such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), allowing an adversary to execute commands or download further malicious payloads.
Detects JNDI lookup patterns associated with Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) exploitation attempts.
This rule detects suspicious process execution originating from web server applications (e.g., php-fpm, apache2, nginx). It looks for common shell interpreters or command-line utilities (e.g., bash, curl, python) triggered by these web server processes when they contain command execution function strings in their command lines (e.g., system, shell_exec, passthru), which is a common indicator of web shell activity or post-exploitation command execution.
Detects unexpected child process execution (php, bash, sh) by web server processes (php-fpm, apache, nginx) while accessing specific Magento application directories (var/report, var/log/system.log) or parameters often associated with the StyleSmuggler exploitation technique, indicating potential Remote Code Execution.
Detects unexpected child process execution (php, bash, sh) by web server processes (php-fpm, apache, nginx) while accessing specific Magento application directories (var/report, var/log/system.log) or parameters often associated with the StyleSmuggler exploitation technique, indicating potential Remote Code Execution.
Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.
Detects instances where common web server applications (e.g., Apache, Tomcat, IIS, Nginx) or Java runtime environments spawn suspicious child processes like command shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, sh, bash) or network utilities (wget, curl). This behavior often indicates exploitation of a web vulnerability, such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), allowing an adversary to execute commands or download further malicious payloads.
Detects incoming HTTP requests to a Caddy web server using the TRACE or TRACK methods. These methods are rarely used in legitimate production traffic and are frequently associated with Cross-Site Tracing (XST) attempts, which can be used to bypass security controls and steal sensitive data such as cookies.
Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.
Detects unauthenticated requests to the WordPress admin-ajax.php endpoint utilizing the 'super_create_nonce' action. This action allows an unauthenticated user to generate a valid session nonce, which is a critical bypass mechanism often required for the exploitation of vulnerabilities within the Super Forms plugin, such as CVE-2026-14894.
Detects local/remote file inclusion attempts via php wrappers and similar schemes.
Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.
Detects HTML content that mimics Cloudflare CAPTCHA challenges to perform social engineering (ClickFix). The rule specifically identifies the combination of fake CAPTCHA UI text, connection to suspicious domains (DDR patterns), and JavaScript snippets used to fetch and execute secondary payloads or redirects.
Detects the use of non-standard, unusual, or potentially dangerous HTTP methods within Caddy web server logs, which may indicate reconnaissance, web application exploitation, or attempts to abuse server functionalities like WebDAV.
Detects instances where common web server applications (e.g., Apache, Tomcat, IIS, Nginx) or Java runtime environments spawn suspicious child processes like command shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, sh, bash) or network utilities (wget, curl). This behavior often indicates exploitation of a web vulnerability, such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), allowing an adversary to execute commands or download further malicious payloads.
