Detects when the Postgres service process or account attempts to modify system-level persistence mechanisms, such as scheduled tasks (cron/schtasks) or system services (systemd/startup folders), which are typical behaviors for an adversary using database service context to maintain persistence.

Detects periodic POST requests to an external endpoint containing specific request parameters (name, value, type) and a 'User-token' header, consistent with the expected beaconing intervals of the curlRAT malware (12h or 30s fast-poll).

Detects modifications to the PostgreSQL configuration file 'pg_hba.conf' closely followed by a reload command (via pg_ctl or postgres processes). This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to modify authentication or connection access controls for a database.

Detects direct SQL UPDATE operations on the pg_authid system table to modify privilege flags (e.g., rolsuper, rolcreaterole) without using the authorized ALTER ROLE statement. Such activity often indicates an attempt to escalate privileges or modify database user permissions in an unauthorized manner, bypassing standard auditing and role management processes.

Detects the creation of a PostgreSQL replication slot using an unrecognized or potentially malicious logical decoding plugin. Adversaries may use custom or unauthorized plugins to exfiltrate database contents or intercept replication data streams, bypassing standard monitoring for common plugins like pgoutput or test_decoding.

Detects the presence of a malicious HAProxy binary (version 2.8.12) that has been recompiled with an embedded 'ted' plugin. The plugin is designed to intercept and manipulate web traffic, as evidenced by specific strings related to pipe file handling, logging, and registration operations found within the binary.

Detects the initialization of PostgreSQL logical replication slots using uncommon or unrecognized output plugins. Attackers may leverage logical replication plugins to exfiltrate data from a database by streaming changes as they occur, which can be an alternative to traditional mass-export techniques.
