Detects high and critical severity correlation events generated by Palo Alto Networks firewalls' automated correlation engine. The correlation engine connects isolated network events and looks for patterns that indicate a more significant event. This helps identify suspicious traffic patterns and network anomalies which, when correlated, indicate with a high probability that a host on the network has been compromised.

Detects when the Palo Alto Networks firewall does not block traffic to a URL associated with malware distribution or operation. This typically indicates a lapse in the firewall's threat intelligence or a misconfiguration. An adversary can abuse this by using the unblocked URL to download malware onto a target system, establish a command and control channel, or exfiltrate data.

Detects when the Palo Alto Networks firewall does not block traffic to a URL known to be used in phishing attacks. An adversary can abuse this by directing victims to the phishing site, potentially stealing credentials, deploying malware, or conducting other malicious activities.

Detects active network communication associated with known malware that is being allowed by the Palo Alto Networks firewall. This may indicate an ongoing security threat, where malicious traffic is bypassing firewall protections, potentially leading to system compromise, data exfiltration, or further infiltration within the network.

Detects medium severity correlation events generated by Palo Alto Networks firewall's automated correlation engine. The correlation engine connects isolated network events and looks for patterns that indicate a more significant event. This helps identify suspicious traffic patterns and network anomalies which, when correlated, indicate with a high probability that a host on the network has been compromised.

Detects allowed network traffic to the TOR network. Adversaries can use TOR to anonymize their network activity, bypass security controls, and evade detection while conducting malicious operations. This could lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and compliance violations if deemed malicious.

This detection identifies network traffic to or from IP addresses known to be associated with command and control (C2) infrastructure or active exploitation in recent SharePoint vulnerability campaigns. Communication with these IPs is a strong indicator of either an attempted attack or an existing compromise.

The analytic detects potential exploitation attempts against Microsoft SharePoint Server vulnerability CVE-2025-53770, also known as "ToolShell". This detection monitors for POST requests to the ToolPane.aspx endpoint with specific DisplayMode parameter, which is a key indicator of the exploit. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution on affected SharePoint servers, enabling attackers to fully access SharePoint content, file systems, internal configurations, and execute code over the network.

This analytic detects exploitation activity of CVE-2025-5777 using Cisco Secure Firewall Intrusion Events. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense IntrusionEvent logs to identify cases where Snort signature 65118 (Citrix NetScaler memory overread attempt) is triggered. If confirmed malicious, this behavior is highly indicative of a potential exploitation of CVE-2025-5777.

This detection identifies potential exploitation attempts of CVE-2025-5777 (CitrixBleed 2), a memory disclosure vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway. The vulnerability is triggered by sending POST requests with incomplete form data to the /p/u/doAuthentication.do endpoint, causing the device to leak memory contents including session tokens and authentication materials. This search looks for POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint that may indicate scanning or exploitation attempts.

This rule detects attempts at Local File Inclusion (LFI) or Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities by analyzing web server logs for specific patterns in the request URI. It looks for directory traversal sequences ('../'), attempts to access common sensitive files like '/etc/passwd', or patterns indicating file inclusion via HTTP or file:// protocols.

This rule detects potential proxy bypass attempts by identifying network connections on common web ports (80, 443) that are allowed by the network firewall but do not appear in the proxy logs. It correlates network traffic from the Network_Traffic data model with proxy traffic from the Web data model. The rule specifically filters for external-bound traffic by excluding private and multicast IP addresses.

Detects HTTP POST requests containing suspicious parameters or headers used by GoldMelody's in-memory IIS modules. Attackers leverage ASP.NET ViewState deserialization to execute payloads in memory, often passing commands and data via non-standard HTTP parameters and headers within POST requests.

This analytic detects repeated blocked connection attempts from the same initiator to the same responder within a short time window. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs and identifies connections where the action is set to Block, and the number of occurrences reaches or exceeds a threshold of ten within a one-minute span. This pattern may indicate a misconfigured application, unauthorized access attempts, or early stages of a brute-force or scanning operation. If confirmed malicious, this behavior may represent an attacker probing the network, attempting lateral movement, or testing firewall rules for weaknesses.

Detects network connections to domains matching patterns commonly used by the Scattered Spider threat group for phishing campaigns.
The group often registers domains that mimic legitimate corporate services by appending suffixes like "-sso", "-servicedesk", "-okta", "-vpn", or "-helpdesk" to a target's name (e.g., victim-sso.com).

This analytic detects outbound connections from Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense to commonly abused file sharing and pastebin-style hosting domains. It specifically looks for allowed connections where the URL matches a predefined list of known data hosting or temporary storage services. These platforms are frequently used by adversaries for malware delivery, data exfiltration, command and control (C2) beacons, or staging of encoded payloads. Identifying such connections can indicate potential abuse of legitimate infrastructure as part of an attacker's kill chain, suggesting tool staging, credential dumping, or outbound data leaks over HTTP(S).

The following analytic detects a blocked connection event by identifying a "Block" value in the action field. It leverages logs from Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense devices. This activity is significant as it can identify attempts from users or applications initiating network connection to explicitly or implicitly blocked range or zones. If confirmed malicious, attackers could be attempting to perform a forbidden action on the network such as data exfiltration, lateral movement, or network disruption.
