Detects a camera management software binary (e.g. iVMS-4200,
SmartPSS, NVR/DVR viewers, vendor CMS/VMS clients) spawning cmd.exe,
powershell.exe or pwsh.exe. In this campaign the compromised vendor update
channel abused the trusted, signed vendor executable to proxy execution of
follow-on payloads and shell commands, inheriting the vendor signature to
evade application allowlisting and static detection.

Detects Windows web/PHP worker processes (php.exe, php-cgi.exe,
apache.exe, httpd.exe, lsphp.exe, nginx.exe) spawning unexpected command shells
or download utilities. Exploitation of CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619 in core
PHP grants unauthenticated RCE; the child process is the observable artifact since
the memory corruption leaves no trace in the PHP logs. mod_php deployments are
the highest-risk configuration.

Detects exploitation of the PHP2Shell RCE vulnerabilities in core PHP
(CVE-2026-109618 out-of-memory corruption and CVE-2026-109619 stale global state),
which allow unauthenticated remote code execution delivered through malicious
multipart uploads. Successful exploitation causes the PHP-FPM/Apache/httpd/lsphp
worker, typically running as www-data, to spawn a system shell (sh, bash, cmd,
powershell) or a download utility (curl, wget) to retrieve a second-stage payload.
A web server process spawning an interactive shell is a high-fidelity indicator of
web application compromise and should be investigated immediately.

Detects a Run/RunOnce registry value whose data points to an
executable or script in a user-writable location (AppData, Temp, ProgramData,
Users\\Public). Amatera establishes persistence by adding Run key entries that
relaunch the stealer on user logon.

Detects process injection targeting a web browser process.
Amatera and comparable infostealers inject into trusted browser processes
such as Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox to evade detection and access
credential and cookie data in memory.

Detects process command lines referencing browser credential
store filenames such as Chromium "Login Data"/Cookies and Firefox
logins.json/key4.db/cookies.sqlite. Amatera and similar infostealers copy
or read these files to harvest saved passwords and session cookies for
account takeover.

Detects creation of a DLL inside a camera management software
installation directory under Program Files. The campaign dropped malicious DLLs
alongside the trusted vendor binary so that the signed camera client side-loads
them at startup, proxying execution through a legitimate vendor process
(T1574.002 / T1036.005).

(T1574.002 / T1036.005).
Detects script-driven (curl, wget, python) outbound connections to
AI/LLM API endpoints. The campaign uses legitimate AI platform APIs as covert
command, control, and exfiltration channels, blending malicious traffic with
approved web services to evade network-based detection.

Detects password spraying: a single source IP generating failed
logins against many distinct accounts in a short window. AI-assisted planning
can produce low-rate credential attacks designed to stay under per-account
lockout thresholds; the distinguishing signal is breadth across users rather
than volume per user.

Detects cmd.exe launched from the Windows Run dialog (explorer.exe
parent) downloading a payload with a living-off-the-land transfer utility such as
certutil, bitsadmin or curl. ClickFix pasted commands frequently chain cmd.exe with
these built-in binaries to fetch the secondary malware stage.
