Detects the CurlRAT malware interactive shell behavior where legitimate Linux system daemons (atd, crond, agetty, polkitd) are trojanized or abused to execute shell commands with attacker-supplied network endpoints (IP:Port).

This rule detects potential bulk data exfiltration by monitoring for high volumes of file access events (FileAccessed, FileRead, FileModified) originating from the 'doc_helper.aspx' file-management web shell. It summarizes activity by device and user account, flagging instances where over 100 unique files are touched within a short timeframe, which is indicative of automated collection and exfiltration activities.

Audits Direct Send traffic against an approved-IP watchlist, flagging unauthenticated inbound mail spoofing an internal domain from an unrecognized source IP. Fixed: RecipientDomain/SenderFromDomain were referenced but never defined (would have errored at runtime); replaced with derived SenderDomain/RecipientDomain consistent with the sibling rules. Removed a noisy display-name-contains-domain OR-branch. Replaced an always-true-in-practice auth check (required every one of SPF/DKIM/DMARC to show literal "Pass", which fails for many legitimate senders that pass via alignment on only one protocol) with the same CompAuth/all-three-fail logic used elsewhere in this set.

This rule detects potentially malicious command-line activity involving powershell.exe or mshta.exe that is initiated by a web browser process (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, or iexplore.exe). It monitors for indicators such as encoded commands, usage of Invoke-Expression, download cradles, hidden window flags, and specific known IOCs, correlating these events with recent browser activity to identify potential drive-by download or browser-based exploitation attempts.

Detects network requests to unpkg.com or npmmirror for 'index.html' files directly under a package path. This behavior deviates from standard package management usage (which typically fetches tarballs or specific JavaScript modules) and is often associated with adversaries using npm packages as hosting infrastructure for phishing landing pages.

Detects processes named 'kworker' (in bracket notation) that are not initiated by the legitimate 'kthreadd' parent process, which is indicative of a process masquerading as a kernel worker thread. Legitimate kworker processes are kernel threads managed by kthreadd. Processes masquerading as these can be used by malware to hide in plain sight.

Detects a discrepancy between the SHA256 hash of a running process image (via /proc/<pid>/exe on Linux) and the hash of the corresponding binary file on disk. This behavior is indicative of process memory manipulation, such as fileless execution or binary replacement, where the code currently running in memory does not match the original file on disk.

Detects high-frequency requests for 'tools/list' from a single source IP across multiple unique destination hosts. This pattern is indicative of a breadth-first scan attempting to identify reachable Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, rather than typical legitimate client-to-server communication.

Detects potential Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks targeting Grafana instances. The rule identifies suspicious 'grafana_api_request' calls that occur shortly after an unauthenticated discovery call ('tools/call') within the same session, where the target URL in the request header is not included in a defined allowlist of known internal Grafana hosts.

Detects sessions using shared Grafana service account tokens that perform both read-only and action-capable tool operations without confirmed prior authentication. This behavior is indicative of an unauthenticated or spoofed session leveraging a service account's excessive permissions, bypassing standard authentication flows.
