Detects the presence of the unique 'ic-tracker-js' ID within script tags on web server files (.php, .html, .js), which is a high-fidelity indicator of a compromised WordPress site by the IClickFix framework. This rule looks for file creation or modification events where the initiating process command line contains the malicious string.

Detects potential JSON Web Token (JWT) algorithm confusion attacks. This occurs when an attacker sends a token signed with a symmetric algorithm (e.g., HS256) to a server expecting an asymmetric one (e.g., RS256). If the server is misconfigured, it may use its public key as the HMAC secret, allowing the attacker to forge valid tokens. The rule specifically looks for JWTs with symmetric HMAC-based algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512) being sent to applications configured to exclusively use asymmetric key algorithms.
