This rule detects process executions that exhibit patterns commonly associated with China Chopper-like tiny webshells, specifically when they are spawned by the w3wp.exe process (IIS worker process). The detection logic looks for specific command-line arguments that include common discovery and system information commands such as 'ipconfig', 'quser', 'whoami', 'c:', 'cd', 'dir', and echo commands, often used by webshells to interact with the compromised system.

Detects exploitation attempts of CVE-2023-46214, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise. The rule specifically looks for patterns associated with known public proof-of-concept (POC) code that leverages insecure XML parsing. It identifies POST requests to specific Splunk API endpoints (`/splunkd/__upload/indexing/preview` or `/api/search/jobs/results`) with particular URI query parameters (`NO_BINARY_CHECK=1`, `input.path=shell.xsl`, `/opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch/`, `/shell.xsl`) that indicate an attempt to upload and execute a malicious XSL stylesheet.

This rule detects command-line activity that attempts to access sensitive Microsoft Teams files, specifically the Cookies or Local Storage\leveldb directories. These locations can contain authentication tokens and other sensitive information. The rule specifically looks for processes other than the legitimate Teams.exe accessing these paths, indicating potential credential theft or unauthorized access.

Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2023-46214, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise. The rule looks for specific HTTP POST requests containing 'NO_BINARY_CHECK=1' and 'input.path' in the URI query, ending with '.xsl', and resulting in a 200 or 302 HTTP status code. These patterns are indicative of an attempt to leverage the insecure XML parsing vulnerability.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against the Log4j RCE vulnerability, also known as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228). It looks for various JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) lookup patterns, including LDAP, RMI, LDAPS, DNS, NIS, NDS, CORBA, and IIOP, as well as obfuscated forms of these patterns, which are commonly used to trigger the vulnerability. The rule specifically filters out known vulnerability scanning traffic from Nessus to reduce false positives.
