This rule monitors for the connection of specific KVM-over-IP hardware devices (e.g., PiKVM, Guermok) which can be used by an adversary to gain remote access to a system's physical keyboard, video, and mouse interface, effectively bypassing software-based security controls.

Detects the GoCaracal lightweight implant performing process injection by identifying combinations of remote process memory allocation (VirtualAllocRemoteApiCall), memory writing (WriteProcessMemoryRemoteApiCall), and remote thread creation (CreateRemoteThreadApiCall) associated with specific suspicious filenames. It also monitors command-line activity for injection-related flags.

004
Detects a pattern of multiple failed authentication attempts (brute force) from an external IP address followed by a successful authentication event on remote access services such as RDP, VPN, or NTLM. The rule filters for non-private IP addresses and flags successes occurring outside of standard business hours.

204
Detects anomalous, high-volume unauthenticated POST requests to the Elementor Pro 'admin-ajax.php' endpoint with the 'elementor_pro_forms_send_form' action. This behavior is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or reconnaissance associated with the Elementor Pro file upload vulnerability (CVE-2026-32475).

204
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 potential persistence attempts by monitoring for the execution and service installation commands of specific binaries: cplsupport.exe and wtass.exe. The rule triggers if these files are executed directly, invoked with specific command-line arguments (e.g., '--install'), or used in conjunction with the 'sc.exe' utility to create new services, which is a common technique for establishing persistence or privilege escalation.

004
This rule detects administrative SQL statements (ALTER ROLE, CREATE ROLE, or GRANT) that assign the REPLICATION attribute to a database role. The REPLICATION attribute in PostgreSQL allows a user to initiate streaming replication and perform logical decoding. This is a security-sensitive privilege, as users with this attribute can potentially bypass standard access controls or, if the environment is misconfigured or vulnerable (e.g., CVE-2026-6471), potentially leverage malicious replication plugins to achieve arbitrary code execution.

204
Detects attempts to modify internal PostgreSQL system catalog tables (pg_authid or pg_proc) to grant superuser privileges or alter authorization records. This activity is commonly associated with exploiting logical decoding plugins to achieve persistence or privilege escalation in PostgreSQL environments.

104
Detects potential exploitation of PostgreSQL via logical decoding plugins, specifically targeting CVE-2026-6471. The rule monitors for the PostgreSQL server process spawning suspicious shell utilities or loading modules from locations outside of the expected PostgreSQL library or plugin directories, which is a common indicator of unauthorized code execution.
