This rule monitors DeviceFileEvents to detect the installation of a known malicious browser extension, 'VPN Go: Free VPN'. By matching file activity against the extension's unique ID, this detection helps identify potential browser-based threats, such as information stealer functionality or persistent backdoors installed via malicious extensions.

Detects the creation or modification of a specific macOS plist file ('com.apple.crashreporter.helper.plist') within the '/Library/LaunchAgents/' directory, correlated with a file event occurring in '/Library/Caches/' within a one-hour window. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to establish persistence by impersonating a legitimate Apple system process and utilizing cache directories to host malicious payloads.

Detects the execution of unusual or unauthorized processes spawned during an 'npm install' operation, specifically those occurring within a 'node_modules' folder context. This behavior is indicative of potential supply chain attacks where a malicious package executes unauthorized code during installation.

Detects the installation or network activity associated with the malicious npm packages 'nodemon-sudo' (v3.1.16) and 'tslint-conf' (v7.2.1). These packages use typosquatting or brand impersonation (targeting 'nodemon' and 'pino') by leveraging forged maintainer and author metadata to trick developers into installing them.

Detects a sequence of file write operations followed by file read operations on specific files named 'AGENTS.md', 'MEMORY.md', 'IDENTITY.md', 'USER.md', or 'SOUL.md' with a significant time gap between the operations. This pattern is indicative of data staging, where an adversary writes sensitive information to a file and subsequently reads it for exfiltration.

Detects unauthorized creation or modification of persistent-state files used by AI agents (e.g., AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md). Such files can be poisoned to manipulate the AI agent's objective knowledge or behavior if the content is sourced from untrusted external inputs like email rather than explicit user instructions.

Detects the creation or modification of persistence mechanisms (Windows Registry Run/RunOnce keys, Cron jobs, Systemd services, and macOS LaunchAgents/LaunchDaemons) that specifically reference Java executables or .jar files. This pattern is consistent with cross-platform malware such as QuimaRAT attempting to maintain persistence.
