Detects anomalous activities associated with potential PHP2Shell exploitation or webshell deployment where a web server worker (such as Apache, HTTPD, or PHP) spawns a Unix shell containing suspicious utility tokens, drops a PHP file outside excluded directories, or creates a PHP session-derived file.

Detects a sequence where a SharePoint application pool worker process (w3wp.exe) spawns a command shell (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe) related to SharePoint, followed shortly (within 1 hour) by high-fidelity lateral movement tooling or remote execution techniques (such as PsExec, WMI, PowerShell remoting, or scheduled tasks) on the same host.

This analytic detects outbound network connections from a Python process running from suspicious or non-standard directories to social media related domains.
It leverages Sysmon Event ID 3 to surface this anomalous behavior.
Legitimate Python applications rarely originate from paths such as "C:\Users\Public\", Windows font or debug folders, or the Recycle Bin, making direct outbound calls to social media infrastructure from these locations a strong indicator of compromise.
For example the Braodo Stealer, a Python-based credential-harvesting malware, abuses authenticated browser sessions to query the Meta Graph API and enumerate the victim's Facebook and Meta advertising infrastructure.

Detects a web server process (apache2, httpd, php-fpm) spawning a Unix shell (dash/sh) that executes discovery commands such as id, whoami, hostname, or find. This is the durable post-exploitation signature of the wp2shell WordPress pre-auth RCE chain (CVE-2026-63030, CVE-2026-60137), where a malicious plugin or webshell executes commands through the web stack.

Detects an AhsayCBS / Tomcat / Java web service process spawning a
command or script interpreter. After exploiting AhsayCBS, attackers executed
shell commands through the dropped webshell to run reconnaissance and download
the XMRig payload. A backup web service should never directly spawn cmd.exe,
powershell.exe, or a Unix shell - this indicates webshell command execution.

Detects when a web browser (such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Brave, or Opera) spawns common command interpreters, scripting engines, or Living off the Land Binaries (LOLBins) like cmd, powershell, mshta, rundll32, or certutil. This behavior is often indicative of a drive-by compromise or browser exploitation attempt.
