This rule detects potential reflective code injection or in-memory loading (fileless) where a DLL or PE image is loaded by mshta.exe or powershell.exe, but the module load event lacks a valid file path on disk (or indicates a device path). This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads such as the Amatera loader, where payloads are executed directly in memory to evade file-based security detections.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against CVE-2021-33045 in Dahua devices. It identifies network traffic where a 'global.login' RPC request uses the 'Loopback' login type with a spoofed source IP address of '127.0.0.1' within the request body, while the actual TCP source address of the packet originates from a remote/external location. This technique is used to bypass authentication mechanisms.

Detects attempts to tamper with Microsoft Windows Defender configuration, specifically by modifying exclusion paths via PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference), direct registry modifications, or forced Group Policy updates. It also monitors for the disabling of Tamper Protection via registry and the creation of scheduled tasks designed to apply Defender exclusions.

This rule detects network connections or DNS queries to known phishing domains (typosquatted Microsoft login domains), DeadDrop Resolver domains, and suspicious HTML payloads served from common CDN/package hosting sites (e.g., unpkg.com, npmmirror.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net, yarnpkg.com). These patterns are indicative of initial access attempts via phishing or the secondary stage of malware C2 communication.

Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.

Detects a PHP TypeError in Magento system logs where array_merge() is called with an integer argument following an include statement. This signature is indicative of exploitation attempts targeting Magento sites using the StyleSmuggler vulnerability, which often involves malicious file inclusion and code execution.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of files within directories associated with GVFS (GNOME Virtual File System) or files masquerading as GVFS components. Adversaries often use these paths and file names to stage or hide malicious tools and persistence mechanisms on Linux systems.

Detects the presence of the 'X_TRACE_' marker within Magento report files or system logs, which is characteristic of the StyleSmuggler threat actor's method of poisoning log files to facilitate subsequent code execution.
