This rule identifies a discrepancy between actual network connections processed by HAProxy and the corresponding entries in its server-side logs. Such inconsistencies can indicate the presence of a malicious backdoor compiled into or injected into the HAProxy process, designed to facilitate C2 traffic while evading standard monitoring by suppressing or omitting logging for those connections.

This rule detects potential unauthenticated access or unauthorized configuration modifications to an AI agent management backend. It monitors HTTP logs for requests targeting configuration endpoints that lack proper authentication, specifically identifying attempts to retrieve sensitive information like Dify or Coze keys, or attempts to inject new agent configurations via unauthenticated POST requests.

Detects Direct Send bypass (null envelope + internal-domain spoof) using a file/document-sharing lure aimed at leadership. Tightened: added inbound-direction and auth-failure requirements (was previously missing any authentication check, so legitimate SharePoint/OneDrive-style sharing notifications from real internal senders could have matched), delivered-only filter, and case-insensitive recipient/job-title join.

Detects SCL-9 (high-confidence phishing/spam) messages that still reach an inbox, indicating an allow-list or transport-rule override, and enriches with any recent tenant mail-flow admin changes. Rewritten: removed a no-op self-join on EmailEvents and a broken exact-match join against CloudAppEvents' raw audit blob (was comparing a sender address against a whole JSON record and would never match); now excludes messages later auto-remediated (e.g. ZAP-quarantined) via the native LatestDeliveryLocation field, and correlates admin rule/allow-list changes via substring match over a cross join.

This rule detects the use of 'mshta.exe' to execute a file from a remote location by inspecting the command line for 'http' protocols and a specific suspicious domain. Adversaries often abuse mshta.exe to proxy the execution of malicious HTML Application (HTA) files or scripts to bypass security controls.

Detects modifications or creation of InprocServer32 COM registry keys by suspicious processes like mshta.exe or powershell.exe, which is indicative of COM Hijacking for persistence or privilege escalation.

This rule monitors for the creation or presence of a specific backdoor account (username 'p2pwn' and password 'p2password') on Dahua devices. This account is known to be injected by threat actors exploiting CVE-2024-39943 as part of Operation CameraSwarm to maintain persistent unauthorized access.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against CVE-2021-33045 in Dahua devices. It identifies network traffic where a 'global.login' RPC request uses the 'Loopback' login type with a spoofed source IP address of '127.0.0.1' within the request body, while the actual TCP source address of the packet originates from a remote/external location. This technique is used to bypass authentication mechanisms.

Detects the presence of the 'X_TRACE_' marker within Magento report files or system logs, which is characteristic of the StyleSmuggler threat actor's method of poisoning log files to facilitate subsequent code execution.
