Detects evidence of successful cache poisoning exploitation in Next.js applications by identifying specific marker files ('VULNERABILITY_CONFIRMED.marker' and 'evidence.json') created in conjunction with active 'next start' or 'next build' processes. This pattern aligns with Proof of Concept (PoC) code targeting object argument collisions.

This rule monitors SIEM-ingested HTTP or API gateway traffic for JSON Web Tokens (JWT) where the base64url-encoded payload claims contain sensitive identifiers such as 'password' or 'role'. Detection of these fields in unencrypted JWT claims indicates poor development practices leading to excessive data exposure or potential credential leakage within web session management.

Detects a sequence of failed authentication attempts potentially indicative of an offline JWT secret brute-force attack (using tools like jwt_tool), followed by a successful authentication from the same source. This pattern suggests the adversary successfully recovered the secret, forged a valid token, and subsequently used it to gain unauthorized access.

Detects Remcos RAT installation activity characterized by file creation under C:\ProgramData\Remcos\ followed by the use of Windows system utilities like attrib.exe or icacls.exe to apply system, hidden, or restricted attributes to the directory or executable, effectively concealing the malware from the user.

Detects the creation of files named 'WC3' or 'wt1' within the 'C:\ProgramData' directory. These filenames are associated with the UAC-0226 threat actor's delivery chain, specifically involving an encoded PowerShell loader (WC3) and an arithmetic-encoded GIFTEDCROOK payload (wt1). These files are typically dropped via path traversal exploitation (CVE-2025-8088) using WinRAR NTFS alternate data streams.

Detects the exploitation of a vulnerability in the SimpleHelp OIDC authentication flow where an attacker can register a forged technician account and self-register MFA during the first login, effectively bypassing mandatory multi-factor authentication requirements. The detection looks for specific sequences in server logs involving OIDC attribute fetching and 'New Anon' technician registration tags.

Detects Akira ransomware-associated PowerShell script execution that attempts to terminate backup, virtualization, and database services (such as VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V, and MSSQL) and inhibit system recovery by deleting Volume Shadow Copies or disabling boot recovery features.

Detects the AnyDesk.exe process loading a DLL from non-standard, user-writable directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, Downloads). This behavior is indicative of a Component Object Model (COM) hijacking attack where an attacker registers a malicious COM server to trick AnyDesk's printer component into loading an arbitrary DLL, potentially enabling privilege escalation or persistent code execution.
