This rule detects the termination of critical security software processes (e.g., antivirus agents) by a process that has recently acquired SeDebugPrivilege. This behavior is indicative of a malicious actor attempting to disable endpoint security controls to evade detection.
Detects KATARU IoT malware samples embedding the DirtyFrag (CVE-2026-43284) Linux local privilege escalation exploit copied from public PoC code, as part of a chained LPE attempt targeting root shell spawning
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 behavioral indicators consistent with local privilege escalation targeting Windows ALPC subsystem vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-85880). The rule correlates: 1) Unsigned or low-prevalence processes loading sensitive ALPC-related DLLs (rpcss.dll, ntdll.dll), 2) Subsequent crashes or restarts of critical ALPC-handling system components (lsass.exe, RPCSS, wuauserv), and 3) The generation of a new SYSTEM-level process by a parent that was not previously running as SYSTEM within a short temporal window.
Detects suspected exploitation of CVE-2026-81963, an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in the Windows Update stack. The rule monitors for the creation of reparse points, junctions, or symbolic links within update staging paths by Windows Update processes, followed by either the spawning of suspicious child processes or unauthorized file writes/renames outside of expected directories, which are indicative of a privileged link-following exploit.
This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell execution patterns involving hidden windows, administrative elevation via 'Start-Process -Verb RunAs', and the targeting or execution of rsetup64.exe within specific system paths. It also flags execution chains where 'net session' commands, often used for discovery or local privilege verification, are piped to null and followed by or initiate the same target executables, suggesting lateral movement or persistence attempts.
Detects instances where WerFault.exe or WerMgr.exe, running with SYSTEM privileges, loads a DLL file from the Windows\System32 directory that was created within 10 minutes of the image load event. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or hijack techniques used to achieve privilege escalation.
Detects instances where LiteLLM, or related Python application processes (uvicorn, python), spawn a shell or command-line utility (bash, sh, id) under the root user account. This behavior is indicative of potential container breakout, application exploitation, or privilege escalation attempts originating from a web-accessible service.
Detects a process enabling multiple sensitive Windows privileges simultaneously via a single AdjustTokenPrivileges event (Event ID 4703). This behavior is characteristic of malicious tools, such as the XHOPELESS wiper, attempting to gain broad system control for activities like tampering with firmware, killing protected processes, loading malicious drivers, or modifying boot configurations.
Detects instances where WerFault.exe or WerMgr.exe, running with SYSTEM privileges, loads a DLL file from the Windows\System32 directory that was created within 10 minutes of the image load event. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or hijack techniques used to achieve privilege escalation.
Detects attempts to modify internal PostgreSQL system catalog tables (pg_authid or pg_proc) to grant superuser privileges or alter authorization records. This activity is commonly associated with exploiting logical decoding plugins to achieve persistence or privilege escalation in PostgreSQL environments.

It also flags execution chains where 'net session' commands, often used for discovery or local privilege verification, are piped to null and followed by or initiate the same target executables, suggesting lateral movement or persistence attempts.
Detects the 'LegacyHive.exe' process initiating child processes running under the SYSTEM account context. This behavior is indicative of potential privilege escalation or malicious persistence mechanisms where a process spawns a child with elevated permissions.
Detects the execution or initiation of a process named 'PrettyPrague.exe' while running with SYSTEM level privileges (AccountSid: S-1-5-18) from directories associated with Avast antivirus software. This activity is indicative of potential privilege escalation or malicious activity masquerading within legitimate security software paths.
Detects attempts to modify internal PostgreSQL system catalog tables (pg_authid or pg_proc) to grant superuser privileges or alter authorization records. This activity is commonly associated with exploiting logical decoding plugins to achieve persistence or privilege escalation in PostgreSQL environments.

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 instances where a non-SYSTEM process attempts to open a handle to winlogon.exe. Since winlogon.exe typically runs as SYSTEM and manages user sessions, unauthorized access to its process handle is often a precursor to credential dumping or token manipulation attacks aimed at escalating privileges to SYSTEM.
