Detects backup service processes writing server-side scripts into web-accessible directories, indicating potential web shell deployment after application compromise.
Detects the creation or modification of web script files (.aspx, .jsp) within common web application directories by unusual processes (such as command shells or download utilities) or by non-standard user accounts, indicating potential web shell deployment.

Detects creation of a JSP/JSPX/WAR server-side script inside
an AhsayCBS installation or web application directory. In this campaign the
actors exploited critical AhsayCBS vulnerabilities and dropped webshells into
the application web directories to maintain persistent remote access. Legitimate
deployment writes scripts from the AhsayCBS updater, not ad-hoc into web roots.

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.

Detects instances where the Windchill Java/Tomcat application server process spawns command-line interfaces such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or bash.exe. This activity is indicative of post-exploitation behavior associated with CVE-2026-12569, where an attacker exploits a deserialization vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands, often for the purpose of dropping web shells.
Detects a potential web shell deployment by identifying a web server process creating or modifying a file in common web directory locations, followed shortly (within 10 minutes) by the execution of that same file.
Detects a potential web shell deployment by identifying a web server process creating or modifying a file in common web directory locations, followed shortly (within 10 minutes) by the execution of that same file.
Detects web server processes (e.g., IIS w3wp.exe, Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM) spawning suspicious child processes such as command shells (cmd, powershell, bash, sh), network utilities (curl, wget), or interpreters (python, perl). This behavior is strongly indicative of exploitation of a public-facing web application and the subsequent execution of a webshell or post-exploitation command activity.
This rule detects potential exploitation of the Oracle PeopleSoft PSEMHUB component vulnerability (CVE-2026-35273). It identifies suspicious POST requests to the PSEMHUB HttpListeningConnector servlet, including obfuscated URL paths, followed by the creation of suspiciously named .jsp or .jspx files in the PSEMHUB.war application directory, which is indicative of a web shell deployment.
Detects the creation of web scripts (aspx, php, jsp) in typical web server directories followed by suspicious shell activity (cmd, powershell, or shell execution) originating from web server processes within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being dropped and subsequently utilized for command execution.
This rule detects potential post-exploitation activity where a web server process spawns a command shell, executes system discovery commands, and immediately initiates an outbound network connection. This behavior is indicative of a web-based exploit leading to interactive command execution and subsequent C2 communication.
Detects the execution of discovery or credential access utilities (e.g., whoami, net, reg, ldapsearch) spawned by Java-based server processes like java.exe or tomcat.exe. This activity is often indicative of an attacker leveraging a vulnerable web application to perform reconnaissance or credential harvesting on the host system.
This rule detects potential exploitation of the Oracle PeopleSoft PSEMHUB component vulnerability (CVE-2026-35273). It identifies suspicious POST requests to the PSEMHUB HttpListeningConnector servlet, including obfuscated URL paths, followed by the creation of suspiciously named .jsp or .jspx files in the PSEMHUB.war application directory, which is indicative of a web shell deployment.
Detects when common web server worker processes spawn command-line tools or shell interpreters, which is a common post-exploitation technique used by web shells like Godzilla to execute arbitrary commands.
Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of common JSP web shell filenames (x.jsp, u.jsp, u2.jsp) within known web application directories (e.g., webapps, Peoplesoft, WebLogic). This pattern is indicative of an adversary attempting to establish a web shell for persistent access or command execution on a vulnerable web server.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a common internet-facing server process (e.g., w3wp.exe, nginx.exe) spawns a potentially malicious child process (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe), followed shortly thereafter by mass file modifications on the same host, which is characteristic of ransomware behavior following initial exploitation.

Detects web application server processes (such as IIS, Apache, Tomcat, Java, Nginx, or Node.js) spawning command-line interpreters or system utilities. This behavior is frequently associated with webshell execution or post-exploitation activities following the exploitation of a public-facing application, often seen in VPN or enterprise software compromises.
This rule detects potential exploitation of the Oracle PeopleSoft PSEMHUB component vulnerability (CVE-2026-35273).
