Detects the creation of known malicious Remote Access Trojan (RAT) file artifacts on Windows, Linux, and macOS systems. These artifacts are associated with the plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 NPM package supply chain compromise, which dropped RAT payloads via a postinstall script. Specifically, it looks for 'wt.exe' in '%PROGRAMDATA%' on Windows, 'ld.py' in '/tmp/' on Linux, and 'com.apple.act.mond' in '/Library/Caches/' on macOS.

This rule detects the modification or addition of redirect URIs for Azure Active Directory applications or service principals that point to suspicious domains. These suspicious domains include known reverse proxy/tunneling services (e.g., ngrok, cloudflare tunnel), callback infrastructure (e.g., burpcollaborator, interact.sh), or localhost/loopback addresses. Such modifications can indicate an adversary attempting to establish persistence, exfiltrate data, or redirect authentication flows to attacker-controlled infrastructure.

Detects network connections to known Command and Control (C2) infrastructure associated with the compromised axios NPM package, which was found to drop a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). The rule specifically looks for connections to the IP address 142.11.206.73 or DNS queries for 'sfrclak.com'.

Detects the execution of a 'kubectl get secrets' command with specific parameters ('--all-namespaces', '-o json', '|| true') via a 'bash' process on Linux systems. This activity is indicative of bulk Kubernetes secret enumeration, a technique used by the TeamPCP stealer as described by Microsoft.

Detects a Python-initiated process attempting to read Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credentials by looking for command-line arguments containing 'GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS' and 'cat 2>/dev/null'. This behavior is indicative of credential harvesting, potentially related to supply chain compromises like the Trivy incident.

Detects processes referencing confirmed TeamPCP C2 infrastructure or known malicious artifacts from the Trivy supply chain compromise. This includes specific C2 domains/IPs, temporary runner files, and a specific tarball name. It also looks for `entrypoint.sh` executing `grep` for environment variables or SSH-related strings, which could indicate credential access attempts.

This rule detects the execution chain associated with MicroStealer, specifically looking for processes named 'RocobeSetup.exe', 'Game Launcher.exe', or 'miicrosoft.exe' that are involved in actions related to a file named 'soft.jar'. This indicates the potential presence and activity of the MicroStealer malware.
