Kapeka Backdoor Persistence Activity

Detects Kapeka backdoor persistence activity. Depending on the process privileges, the Kapeka dropper then sets persistence for the backdoor either as a scheduled task (if admin or SYSTEM) or autorun registry (if not). For the scheduled task, it creates a scheduled task called "Sens Api" via schtasks command, which is set to run upon system startup as SYSTEM. To establish persistence through the autorun utility, it adds an autorun entry called "Sens Api" under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run via the "reg add" command. Both persistence mechanisms are set to launch the binary by calling rundll32 and passing the backdoor's first export ordinal (#1) without any additional argument.

The exploit abuses legitimate utilities like iediagcmd.exe or CustomShellHost.exe by manipulating their working directories to point to attacker-controlled WebDAV servers, causing them to execute malicious executables (like route.exe) from the WebDAV path instead of legitimate system binaries through Process.Start() search order manipulation.

Linux Suspicious Child Process from Node.js - React2Shell

Detects suspicious child processes spawned from Node.js server processes on Linux systems, potentially indicating remote code execution exploitation such as CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell). This rule particularly looks for exploitation of vulnerability on Node.js Servers where attackers abuse Node.js child_process module to execute arbitrary system commands. When execSync() or exec() is used, the command line often includes a shell invocation followed by suspicious commands or scripts (e.g., /bin/sh -c <malicious-command>). For other methods, the Image field will show the spawned process directly.

Windows Suspicious Child Process from Node.js - React2Shell

Detects suspicious child processes started by Node.js server processes on Windows, which may indicate exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell). Attackers can abuse the Node.js 'child_process' module to run system commands or scripts using methods such as spawn(), exec(), execFile(), fork(), or execSync(). If execSync() or exec() is used in the exploit, the command line often shows a shell (e.g., cmd.exe /d /s /c ...) running a suspicious command unless other shells are explicitly invoked. For other methods, the spawned process appears directly in the Image field unless a shell is explicitly used.
