Detects potential exploitation of PostgreSQL via logical decoding plugins, specifically targeting CVE-2026-6471. The rule monitors for the PostgreSQL server process spawning suspicious shell utilities or loading modules from locations outside of the expected PostgreSQL library or plugin directories, which is a common indicator of unauthorized code execution.

Detects a single process accessing multiple distinct sensitive files related to cryptocurrency wallets, SSH keys, or seed phrases within a short duration. This pattern of bulk file access is highly indicative of automated credential harvesting modules like those found in the CRPx0 malware family.

This rule detects modifications to Group Policy Objects (GPO) or Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) policies that weaken established security controls. For GPO, it monitors Event ID 5136 for changes to security-relevant attributes (e.g., disabling firewall or real-time monitoring) in Active Directory. For Entra, it monitors audit logs for administrative operations that reduce security posture, such as disabling MFA, lowering authentication trust, or deleting Conditional Access policies. It includes filters to exclude legitimate, documented change management activities.

This rule detects potential lateral movement activity by identifying executable or script files being written to administrative shares (C$ or ADMIN$) followed by the execution of a file with the same name on the destination device within 15 minutes. It includes logic to filter out known deployment/patch management service accounts and file names to reduce noise.

Detects a sequence of suspicious behaviors on a single host within a 1-hour window, indicative of an adversary establishing a foothold and preparing for malicious activity. The pattern involves: 1) System architecture discovery, 2) Downloading files from an external IP address, 3) Changing permissions of files in temporary directories (e.g., /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm), and 4) Executing files directly from those same temporary directories.

Detects the creation or modification of crontab files, as well as the execution of crontab commands, that involve suspicious paths (e.g., /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm, hidden files) or command obfuscation techniques such as base64 encoding. This behavior is often associated with the establishment of persistence by adversaries.

Detects package manager processes (npm, pip, python) executing install-related commands followed by the creation or modification of sensitive files (SSH keys, cloud credentials, shell configurations) within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of potential supply chain attacks where a malicious package attempts to steal credentials or secrets upon installation.

Detects rapid, repeated invocation of Microsoft Defender remediation processes (mpcmdrun.exe, MsMpEng.exe) occurring in conjunction with suspicious file write or rename operations in System32. This pattern is characteristic of a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition, where an attacker attempts to exploit the timing gap between Defender's detection and remediation actions to replace a file with a malicious version.

Detects the creation of Object Manager symbolic links that redirect the Windows Defender 'WD_SCAN' object to a loopback UNC share path. This behavior is indicative of a symlink exploitation technique (ShieldCrash/CVE-2026-69414) used to manipulate Windows Defender or associated scan operations by redirecting them to an adversary-controlled or loopback-hosted target.

Detects suspicious file activity within directories named 'ShieldCrash' followed by a cloud provider registration or placeholder creation event within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized software or an adversary attempting to stage data for exfiltration or create persistent storage aliases outside of legitimate cloud client applications.

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.

Detects execution patterns associated with 'NinjaMare' style malware, where a process masquerading as a browser (e.g., tenbrowser.exe, fireflybrowser.exe) performs an external IP geolocation lookup followed by suspicious registry or file modifications indicative of browser hijacking or extension installation within a five-minute window.

This rule detects modifications or creation of files named 'crond' in standard system paths ('/usr/bin' or '/usr/sbin') that occur within a 4-second window of an 'ssh' binary file event. This pattern is indicative of potential persistence establishment where an adversary replaces or modifies a system daemon while simultaneously interacting with SSH services.
