Phoenix Studio
Convert indexed Sigma rules into analyst-ready detections.
This studio is built around Phoenix's own rule corpus, not a blank editor. Search by title or rule id, choose a live sigma-cli backend, then reveal pipelines only when you actually need them.

title: Axios NPM Compromise Malicious C2 Domain DNS Query

status: experimental
description: |
Detects DNS queries for the malicious C2 domain associated with the plain-crypto-js/Axios npm package supply chain compromise.
On March 30, 2026, malicious versions (1.14.1, 0.30.4) were published to npm, injecting a dependency (plain-crypto-js@4.2.1) that executed a postinstall script as a cross-platform RAT dropper.
This detection detects endpoints attempting to resolve the attacker's C2 domain (sfrclak.com) used for command and control communication.
