This rule detects potentially malicious use of libcurl or curl.exe involving mTLS-related flags (e.g., --cert, --key, --cacert) in non-browser processes. It specifically flags instances where such processes perform repeated HTTPS connections to remote hosts, which may indicate exploitation of CVE-2026-8932 related to mTLS connection reuse and authentication bypass.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity related to browser extensions, specifically targeting configuration file modifications (manifest.json, rules files) or the use of sensitive browser APIs (declarativeNetRequest, updateDynamicRules) that are commonly abused by malicious extensions. It also flags activity that includes keywords associated with affiliate/ad-click fraud platforms within command line arguments of major browsers like Chrome and Edge.

Detects anomalous application crashes of network-oriented utilities (curl, git, sftp, etc.) that leverage libssh2. This pattern is indicative of a heap over-read vulnerability, such as CVE-2025-15661, triggered by a malicious SFTP server response during an outbound session.

Detects network requests originating from common package manager User-Agents (e.g., pip, npm, cargo) targeted at external domains that do not match known legitimate repositories. This behavior is indicative of potential command and control (C2) activity or malicious package staging using lookalike or arbitrary domains to bypass standard package registry traffic patterns.

Detects SSH client processes linked to libssh2 (such as ssh, curl, sftp, scp) exhibiting sustained high CPU usage (>=95%) for more than 60 seconds while maintaining an active outbound SSH connection. This behavior is consistent with the denial-of-service vulnerability CVE-2026-55199, where an attacker-controlled SSH server provides an excessively large extension count during the key exchange process, triggering an infinite loop within the libssh2 library.

This rule detects potential command and control (C2) beaconing activity by identifying devices communicating with known suspicious remote IP addresses at regular, repeating intervals. It calculates the time difference between consecutive connections to specific suspicious IPs and identifies devices that establish at least three connections within one-hour bins, adhering to a 1 to 15-minute heartbeat interval.

Detects a suspicious sequence of events involving the creation of an .amazonq/mcp.json file shortly after a git clone operation, followed by an AI coding assistant (Amazon Q, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf) spawning runtime interpreters (node, npx, python). This behavior aligns with potential exploitation attempts against AI-assisted development environments, such as CVE-2026-12957, where malicious configuration files are used to trigger unauthorized code execution.

Detects the exploitation of CVE-2026-20253, where the Flowise application fails to correctly sanitize or validate environment variables. By using a case-insensitive bypass (e.g., lowercase 'node_options'), an attacker can cause a spawned Node.js child process to honor the variable and execute unauthorized JavaScript files via the '--require' command-line argument.

Detects the spawning of potential Model Context Protocol (MCP) server processes immediately following or by package installation commands (npm, pip). This behavior is characteristic of malicious packages or typosquatted dependencies attempting to register or execute a malicious MCP server configuration upon installation in a developer environment.

This rule detects indicators of activity associated with a Firefox smart_window PoC, specifically designed to exfiltrate private browsing URLs. It monitors for suspicious network connections from the Firefox process to port 8765, the creation of PoC-related scripts, and the execution of associated Node.js processes or command lines.

Detects a potential exploitation of CVE-2026-12957, where a malicious git repository contains an MCP (Model Context Protocol) configuration file. When this workspace is opened, the Amazon Q Developer extension for VS Code improperly processes this configuration, resulting in the unauthorized execution of shell processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, bash, or sh) by the extension's host processes (code.exe or node.exe).

Detects Python processes spawned by development tools (VSCode, Cursor) or Node.js that are engaged in suspicious activities, specifically communicating with the Telegram Bot API or uploading large amounts of data, often accompanied by file staging (ZIP archive creation). This behavior is characteristic of the InvisibleFerret information stealer.

This rule monitors for Node.js processes accessing sensitive configuration files, environment files, or credential stores (such as AWS credentials). It also triggers when command line arguments or file contents contain patterns indicative of infostealer activity, including specific indicators related to the Polymarket campaign or credentials collection functions like Git or Docker credential harvesting.

Detects the presence and execution of RustDesk remote access software by monitoring process names, command-line arguments, specific destination network ports, and DNS queries associated with the application. This rule identifies potential unauthorized remote access attempts or the use of non-approved remote support tools.

This rule detects DNS queries for reverse lookups, specifically those ending with '.in-addr.arpa' or '.ip6.arpa'. While legitimate, frequent or unusual reverse DNS queries from a specific device or process could indicate reconnaissance activities or attempts to map internal network infrastructure by an attacker.

Detects high frequency inbound network connection attempts or accepted connections initiated by common file sharing processes (e.g., NearShare.exe, NearbySharing.exe, quickshare.exe, sharingd, airplayd). A high volume of inbound connection attempts may indicate brute force, discovery, or malicious scanning behavior using legitimate file sharing tools as a conduit.

Detects unexpected crashes of critical macOS system processes such as sharingd, nsurlsessiond, airplayd, AirPlayXPCHelper, and NetAuthSysAgent. Frequent crashing of these components can indicate instability or potentially malicious attempts to interfere with system services.

Detects network connection attempts directed toward RFC 1918 private IP address spaces (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and localhost (127.0.0.0/8) that do not involve common Windows file sharing ports (TCP/445 and TCP/139). This behavior may indicate lateral movement, internal reconnaissance, or the use of non-standard protocols for internal communication.
