Detects instances where the Windows Remote Management host process (wsmprovhost.exe) is associated with the execution of specific suspicious files (config.toml, cplsupport.exe, or wtass.exe) within a short time window. This activity often indicates post-exploitation behavior or remote execution of secondary tools using WinRM.

This rule monitors the software inventory for outdated versions of the PostgreSQL database server. It identifies installations where the major and minor versions are below the threshold for current security releases (e.g., v18 < 6, v17 < 11, v16 < 15, v15 < 19, v14 < 24). Running outdated software increases the risk of exploitation of known vulnerabilities.

Detects the 'ted' backdoor or similar malicious activity attempting to manipulate HAProxy's internal connection counters by accessing or writing to the HAProxy process memory (/proc/[pid]/mem or /proc/self/mem). This behavior is characteristic of an attempt to evade backend logging and statistics tracking by directly modifying process memory structures.

This rule detects potential reflective code injection or in-memory loading (fileless) where a DLL or PE image is loaded by mshta.exe or powershell.exe, but the module load event lacks a valid file path on disk (or indicates a device path). This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads such as the Amatera loader, where payloads are executed directly in memory to evade file-based security detections.

Detects attempts to tamper with Microsoft Windows Defender configuration, specifically by modifying exclusion paths via PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference), direct registry modifications, or forced Group Policy updates. It also monitors for the disabling of Tamper Protection via registry and the creation of scheduled tasks designed to apply Defender exclusions.

This rule detects network connections or DNS queries to known phishing domains (typosquatted Microsoft login domains), DeadDrop Resolver domains, and suspicious HTML payloads served from common CDN/package hosting sites (e.g., unpkg.com, npmmirror.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net, yarnpkg.com). These patterns are indicative of initial access attempts via phishing or the secondary stage of malware C2 communication.

Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.

Detects a PHP TypeError in Magento system logs where array_merge() is called with an integer argument following an include statement. This signature is indicative of exploitation attempts targeting Magento sites using the StyleSmuggler vulnerability, which often involves malicious file inclusion and code execution.
