This suite of rules detects various activities associated with the Mini Shai-Hulud npm worm, including the execution of its payload via bun, network connections to its exfiltration domain, attempts by Node.js or Bun processes to access AWS IMDS for credential theft, access to local HashiCorp Vault instances, identification of known malicious script file hashes, and the installation of its specific malicious GitHub dependency.

This rule detects a potential privilege escalation attempt on Linux systems. It looks for two main indicators: first, the execution of the 'su' command from a user's home directory by a process whose executable was recently created in a user's home directory and identified as an ELF binary. Second, it identifies systems where public-facing network connections were made by processes using common remote file transfer utilities (curl, wget, lftp, axel, aria2, scp, rsync, ftp) to fetch code, followed by the execution of a process with 'algif-aead' in its command line, which could indicate fileless execution after remote code fetching. The combination suggests an attacker might be fetching malicious code, potentially compiling it, and then using it to escalate privileges via 'su' or executing it filelessly.

Detects the execution of the public Dirty Frag exploit tool by monitoring for its hardcoded command-line arguments (--force-esp, --force-rxrpc). This vulnerability allows local attackers to gain root privileges via page-cache tampering in the Linux kernel without race conditions.

Detects suspicious command execution originating from cPanel daemons. This rule identifies instances where cPanel processes (cpsrvd, cpsrvd-ssl, cpaneld, whostmgrd) or their immediate children execute common shell interpreters or specific commands indicative of potential compromise, such as writing to /etc/passwd, modifying authorized_keys, or using base64/perl/python/bash for interactive shells.

This rule detects suspicious child processes spawned by the BeyondTrust Remote Support client (bomgar-scc), which could indicate post-exploitation activity following a compromise via vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-1731. It looks for high-risk command line patterns and suspicious child processes commonly used for reconnaissance and payload execution.

Detects the creation of DaemonSets in a Kubernetes cluster using the `kubectl` command-line tool. DaemonSets are designed to run a copy of a Pod on all (or some) nodes in the cluster, making them a powerful mechanism for persistence and cluster-wide credential harvesting by attackers. This rule specifically looks for `kubectl` commands that include 'daemonset' and either 'create' or 'apply' operations.

Detects high-fidelity static artifacts from VECT 2.0 across Windows, Linux, and ESXi variants. This includes known SHA-256 hashes of the ransomware executables, the '.vect' encrypted file extension, the '!!!READ_ME!!!.txt' ransom note, the 'dvm3_wall.bmp' wallpaper, the 'vector_notice.sh' shell hook, and the embedded Tor C2 hostname. These indicators are unique to VECT ransomware and have no legitimate use.

Detects when AI-integrated IDEs or coding agents spawn sensitive child processes such as command shells (cmd, powershell, pwsh) or web transfer tools (curl, wget). This behavior could indicate malicious activity if an attacker compromises the AI tool or if the tool itself is misused to execute arbitrary commands or exfiltrate data.

This rule detects the presence of suspicious script content (e.g., 'system(', 'exec(', '/dev/tcp/') within Python (.py) or shell (.sh) files located in common plugin directories on Linux systems. This could indicate an attempt to inject malicious code into package management configurations for persistence or privilege escalation.

Detects the execution of the 'dvr' downloader script and subsequent 'nexuscorp' payload executions used by the Nexcorium Mirai variant botnet. This rule specifically looks for `wget` downloading 'dvr' from an IP address, direct execution of './dvr', or execution of 'nexuscorp' with an architecture-specific 'dvr' payload.
