Detects the loading of compression libraries (such as lzma.dll or 7z.dll) by ERAAgent.exe followed by suspicious process or thread activity (e.g., remote thread creation, memory allocation). This pattern is often associated with the staging and execution of malicious payloads in memory.
Detects ERAAgent.exe performing suspicious dynamic API resolution for functions commonly used by the SLEEPWALKER malware (VirtualProtect, SetSecurityDescriptorDacl, and CryptGenRandom). By resolving these functions at runtime via GetProcAddress rather than including them in the static import table, the malware attempts to evade detection and analysis.
Detects instances where the ESET Remote Administrator Agent (ERAAgent.exe) terminates shortly after loading the Data Protection API service (dpapisvc.dll). This pattern may indicate an attempt to interact with or disrupt DPAPI services, potentially to facilitate credential dumping or sensitive data access.
Detects the ESET Management Agent (ERAAgent.exe) initiating outbound network connections using non-standard socket families, specifically AF_VSOCK (virtual socket) or VMCI (Virtual Machine Communication Interface). These interfaces are typically used for inter-process communication between a host and a guest virtual machine, or between guest virtual machines, and may indicate malicious activity such as lateral movement from a virtualized environment, virtual machine escape attempts, or unauthorized communication within an ESXi host environment.
This rule detects potentially malicious memory manipulation and thread execution activity originating from the ERAAgent.exe process. It specifically identifies when ERAAgent.exe calls VirtualProtect or VirtualAlloc to set memory as PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, followed shortly by a CreateThread or CreateRemoteThread operation. This behavior is indicative of process injection or reflective code loading, where an executable image is manually mapped into memory and executed, bypassing traditional file-based detection.
Detects the ESET Remote Administrator (ERAAgent.exe) process loading the 'dpapisvc.dll' module. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading where an attacker places a malicious DLL with the same name as a legitimate system library in the agent's directory to achieve code execution.
Detects unauthorized remote access sessions within N-able N-central by monitoring the Windows Application log for events indicating usage of the default 'MSP Support' account or source IP addresses associated with active exploitation of CVE-2026-18577.
Detects post-exploitation persistence artifacts on Windows endpoints managed by N-able N-central consistent with abuse of CVE-2026-18577, including a new Windows service named Cloudflared, registry Services key creation for Cloudflared, a file named svchost.exe written under a user's Documents folder, or process execution of cloudflared.exe or a Documents-located svchost.exe.
KQL Query
Detects N-able N-central Take Control remote session start/end events in the Windows Application log where the viewer identity is the default N-central support account 'MSP Support' / mspsupport@n-able.com, or the source/viewer IP matches known attacker infrastructure associated with active exploitation of CVE-2026-18577.
