Detects an npm or pip package installation process spawning a script
interpreter or living-off-the-land binary (powershell, cmd, certutil, bitsadmin, curl,
wget, bash, sh) as a child process. CrowdStrike's 2026 Threat Hunting Report found
adversaries increasingly embed malicious setup/install scripts inside open-source packages
uploaded to npm and PyPI; these scripts execute automatically the moment the package is
written to disk during npm install / pip install, unless intercepted before execution. A
package manager process spawning a scripting engine or download utility immediately after
install is a strong indicator of an embedded malicious postinstall/setup script rather than
a normal build step.

Detects execution of the XMRig Monero cryptominer or a miner
launched with XMRig-specific pool and tuning arguments. In the AhsayCBS
exploitation campaign attackers dropped XMRig onto compromised backup
servers to hijack CPU resources for Monero mining, severely degrading
server performance. Detection keys on XMRig binary names and the mining
command-line grammar (stratum pool URLs, donate-level and thread-hint flags).

Detects a sequence of events on a single device where a shell (/bin/sh, /bin/bash, etc.) is copied to a path involving /usr/bin/dbus-authd using cp or busybox, followed by changing ownership to root, and subsequently setting the SUID permission bit within a 10-minute window.

Detects SSH clients launched with reverse (-R) or dynamic (-D) port
forwarding flags, a hallmark of tunnel establishment used to pivot into internal
networks or expose internal services through a compromised host. The Blinder
Tunnel campaign leverages SSH tunneling to encapsulate C2 and lateral movement
traffic inside an allowed protocol.

Detects creation of a new local administrative account on or through a
BeyondTrust Remote Support / Privileged Remote Access appliance. Post-exploitation of
the pre-auth vulnerability, attackers create local admin accounts (T1136.001) to
maintain persistent access to the appliance and connected managed endpoints.
Follows CISA's urgent patch advisory for BeyondTrust appliances.

Detects the usage of command-line flags in AI coding assistant CLIs (such as Claude Code, Amazon Q CLI, and others) that intentionally skip security permissions, bypass approvals, or disable sandbox protections. The rule identifies potential developer activity that may inadvertently reduce the security posture of the development environment.
