The analytic detects the execution of OpenVPN with elevated privileges, specifically when combined with the `--dev`, `--script-security`, `--up`, and `sudo` options. This activity is significant because it indicates a potential privilege escalation attempt, allowing a user to execute system commands as root. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to full system compromise, enabling an attacker to gain root access and execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges.

The following analytic identifies the creation of suspicious .aspx files in specific directories associated with Exchange exploitation by the HAFNIUM group and the ProxyShell vulnerability. It detects this activity by monitoring the MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe process, which typically does not write .aspx files. This behavior is significant as it may indicate an active exploitation attempt on Exchange servers. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, or maintain persistence within the environment. Immediate investigation and remediation are crucial to prevent further compromise.

The following analytic detects potential exploitation of the Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability, CVE-2023-26360, which allows unauthenticated arbitrary file read. It monitors web requests to the "/cf_scripts/scripts/ajax/ckeditor/*" path using the Web datamodel, focusing on specific ColdFusion paths to differentiate malicious activity from normal traffic. This activity is significant due to the vulnerability's high CVSS score of 9.8, indicating severe risk. If confirmed malicious, it could lead to unauthorized data access, further attacks, or severe operational disruptions, necessitating immediate investigation.

The following analytic detects potentially malicious file upload attempts to Citrix ShareFile via specific suspicious URLs and the HTTP POST method. It leverages the Web datamodel to identify URL patterns such as "/documentum/upload.aspx?parentid=", "/documentum/upload.aspx?filename=", and "/documentum/upload.aspx?uploadId=*", combined with the HTTP POST method. This activity is significant for a SOC as it may indicate an attempt to upload harmful scripts or content, potentially compromising the Documentum application. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and operational disruptions.

The following analytic identifies specific GET or HEAD requests to web servers that indicate reconnaissance attempts to find vulnerable JBoss servers. It leverages data from the Web data model, focusing on HTTP methods and URLs associated with JBoss management interfaces. This activity is significant because it often precedes exploitation attempts using tools like JexBoss, which can compromise the server. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges, leading to potential data breaches and system compromise.

The following analytic identifies attempts to exploit CVE-2024-27199, a critical vulnerability in JetBrains TeamCity web server, allowing unauthenticated access to specific endpoints. It detects unusual access patterns to vulnerable paths such as /res/, /update/, and /.well-known/acme-challenge/ by monitoring HTTP traffic logs via Suricata. This activity is significant as it could indicate an attacker bypassing authentication to access or modify system settings. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized changes, disclosure of sensitive information, or uploading of malicious certificates, severely compromising the server's security.

The analytic identifies potential server-side template injection attempts related to CVE-2022-22954. It detects suspicious URL patterns containing "deviceudid" and keywords like "java.lang.ProcessBuilder" or "freemarker.template.utility.ObjectConstructor" using web or proxy logs. This activity may indicate an attempt to exploit a known vulnerability in VMware, potentially leading to remote code execution.

The analytic detects attempts to exploit the ConnectWise ScreenConnect CVE-2024-1709 vulnerability, which allows attackers to bypass authentication via an alternate path or channel. It leverages web request logs to identify access to the SetupWizard.aspx page, indicating potential exploitation. This activity is significant as it can lead to unauthorized administrative access and remote code execution. If confirmed malicious, attackers could create administrative users and gain full control over the affected system, posing severe security risks. Immediate remediation by updating to version 23.9.8 or above is recommended.

The following analytic identifies unusually long strings in the Content-Type HTTP header sent by the client to the server. It uses data from the Stream:HTTP source, specifically evaluating the length of the `cs_content_type` field. This activity is significant because excessively long Content-Type headers can indicate attempts to exploit vulnerabilities or evade detection mechanisms. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute code, manipulate data, or bypass security controls, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data breaches.

The following analytic identifies URL requests associated with CVE-2022-22965 (Spring4Shell) exploitation attempts, specifically targeting webshell access on a remote webserver. It detects HTTP GET requests with URLs containing ".jsp?cmd=" or "j&cmd=" patterns. This activity is significant as it indicates potential webshell deployment, which can lead to unauthorized remote command execution. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain control over the webserver, execute arbitrary commands, and potentially escalate privileges, leading to severe data breaches and system compromise.

This detection identifies potential exploitation attempts of the CVE-2024-5806 vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer. It looks for log entries indicating failures to access the certificate store, which can occur when an attacker attempts to exploit the authentication bypass vulnerability. This behavior is a key indicator of attempts to impersonate valid users without proper credentials. While certificate store access failures can occur during normal operations, an unusual increase in such events, especially from unexpected sources, may indicate malicious activity.

This analytic detects potential exploitation attempts against VMWare vRealize Network Insight, specifically targeting the CVE-2023-20887 vulnerability. It monitors web traffic for HTTP POST requests directed at the vulnerable endpoint "/saas./resttosaasservlet." Identifying this behavior is crucial for a SOC as it indicates an active exploit attempt. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could execute arbitrary code, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or further network compromise.

The analytic detects the Microsoft Software Licensing User Interface Tool (`slui.exe`) spawning a child process. This behavior is identified using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process creation events where `slui.exe` is the parent process. This activity is significant because `slui.exe` should not typically spawn child processes, and doing so may indicate a UAC bypass attempt, leading to elevated privileges. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could leverage this to execute code with elevated privileges, potentially compromising the system's security and gaining unauthorized access.

Detects suspicious file creations within the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS' parent telemetry folder, specifically looking for filenames containing patterns indicative of OS command injection attempts related to CVE-2024-3400. These files are processed by the 'dt_curl' script, which can lead to arbitrary command execution if device telemetry is enabled and filenames are crafted to bypass shell-subprocess restrictions.
