Potential Exploitation of RCE Vulnerability CVE-2025-33053
Detects potential exploitation of remote code execution vulnerability CVE-2025-33053 which involves unauthorized code execution via WebDAV through external control of file names or paths. 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.
Suspicious Child Process of SolarWinds WebHelpDesk
Detects suspicious child processes spawned by SolarWinds WebHelpDesk (WHD) application, which may indicate exploitation activity leveraging RCE vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-40551, CVE-2025-40536, or CVE-2025-26399
Potential Exploitation of CVE-2025-4427/4428 Ivanti EPMM Pre-Auth RCE
Detects potential exploitation of a chained vulnerability attack targeting Ivanti EPMM 12.5.0.0. CVE-2025-4427 allows unauthenticated access to protected API endpoints via an authentication bypass, which can then be leveraged to trigger CVE-2025-4428 — a remote code execution vulnerability through template injection. This sequence enables unauthenticated remote code execution, significantly increasing the impact of exploitation.
Potential Notepad++ CVE-2025-49144 Exploitation
Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2025-49144, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Notepad++ installers (v8.8.1 and prior) where the installer calls regsvr32.exe without specifying the full path. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by placing a malicious regsvr32.exe alongside this Legitimate Notepad++ installer. The vulnerability is triggered when the installer attempts to register the NppShell.dll file, which is a component of Notepad++.
Potential SharePoint ToolShell CVE-2025-53770 Exploitation - File Create
Detects the creation of file such as spinstall0.aspx which may indicate successful exploitation of CVE-2025-53770. CVE-2025-53770 is a zero-day vulnerability in SharePoint that allows remote code execution.
Potential SharePoint ToolShell CVE-2025-53770 Exploitation Indicators

SharePoint ToolShell CVE-2025-53770 Exploitation - Web IIS
Detects access to vulnerable SharePoint components potentially being exploited in CVE-2025-53770 through IIS web server logs. CVE-2025-53770 is a zero-day vulnerability in SharePoint that allows remote code execution.
Potential Exploitation of CrushFTP RCE Vulnerability (CVE-2025-54309)
Detects suspicious child processes created by CrushFTP. It could be an indication of exploitation of a RCE vulnerability such as CVE-2025-54309.
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.
Commvault QLogin with PublicSharingUser and GUID Password (CVE-2025-57788)
Detects a qlogin.exe command attempting to authenticate as the internal `_+_PublicSharingUser_` using a GUID as the password. This could be an indicator of an attacker exploiting CVE-2025-57788 to gain initial access using leaked credentials.
Commvault QOperation Path Traversal Webshell Drop (CVE-2025-57790)
Detects the use of qoperation.exe with the -file argument to write a JSP file to the webroot, indicating a webshell drop. This is a post-authentication step corresponding to CVE-2025-57790.
Commvault QLogin Argument Injection Authentication Bypass (CVE-2025-57791)
Detects the use of argument injection in the Commvault qlogin command - potential exploitation for CVE-2025-57791. An attacker can inject the `-localadmin` parameter via the password field to bypass authentication and gain a privileged token.
Exploitation Activity of CVE-2025-59287 - WSUS Suspicious Child Process
Detects the creation of command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) as child processes of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) related process wsusservice.exe. This behavior is a key indicator of exploitation for the critical remote code execution vulnerability such as CVE-2025-59287, where attackers spawn shells to conduct reconnaissance and further post-exploitation activities.
Exploitation Activity of CVE-2025-59287 - WSUS Deserialization
Detects cast exceptions in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) application logs that highly indicate exploitation attempts of CVE-2025-59287, a deserialization vulnerability in WSUS.
Potential Exploitation of CVE-2025-5054 or CVE-2025-4598
Detects attempts of an attacker to enable core dumps for set-user-ID (SUID) processes by modifying the system file /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable, typically by setting its value to 1 or 2. Enabling this feature allows memory dumps (core dumps) of SUID processes, which usually run with elevated privileges. These dumps may contain sensitive information such as passwords, cryptographic keys or other secrets. CVE-2025-5054: Information leak via core dumps from SUID binaries using apport. CVE-2025-4598: Information disclosure in systemd-coredump due to insecure handling of SUID process memory dumps.
Potential CVE-2026-33829 Exploitation - Windows Snipping Tool Remote File Path URI
Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2026-33829, a vulnerability in the Windows Snipping Tool URI handler (ms-screensketch:). An attacker can abuse the 'filePath' parameter to supply a UNC path or HTTP URL, causing SnippingTool.exe to initiate a connection to a remote resource. When a UNC path is used (e.g. \\attacker.com\share), this triggers an outbound NTLM authentication attempt, allowing the attacker to capture or relay the victim's Net-NTLMv2 hash. HTTP-based paths may result in remote file loading or server-side request forgery (SSRF)-style access. The URI can be delivered via a malicious hyperlink, phishing email, or web page.
RedSun - TieringEngineService.exe Staged in RS-Prefixed Temp Dir
Detects the creation of a file named TieringEngineService.exe inside a directory whose path contains the RS- prefix characteristic of RedSun's staging directory (e.g. %TEMP%\RS-{GUID}\TieringEngineService.exe). RedSun registers a Cloud Files sync root under this RS-prefixed path and drops a masqueraded placeholder there as part of its oplock-based AV bypass and privilege escalation chain. The RS-{GUID} directory name is generated by RedSun itself and has no legitimate system usage, making the combination of this path prefix and the TieringEngineService.exe filename a highly specific indicator of RedSun activity.
RedSun - Named Pipe Created
Detects the creation of a named pipe with the hardcoded name "REDSUN". The RedSun exploit tool uses a pipe with this name for synchronisation and command communication between its components during the Cloud Files API + oplock-based AV bypass and privilege escalation chain. RedSun creates the pipe as \\??\pipe\REDSUN. The pipe server listens for the token-duplicated elevated process to connect and respond, completing the privilege escalation from user to SYSTEM. Presence of this pipe name indicates active or recent RedSun execution.
RedSun - TieringEngineService.exe Detected as EICAR Test File
Detects Windows Defender (EventID 1119 - Remediation Action Failed) flagging TieringEngineService.exe dropped in a characteristic RS-{GUID} temporary directory, or the RedSun.exe process itself being present. This covers the staging pattern used by RedSun, a Cloud Files API and opportunistic lock (oplock) based AV bypass/privilege escalation tool. RedSun works as follows: 1. Registers a Cloud Files sync root and creates a Cloud Files placeholder for TieringEngineService.exe under %TEMP%\RS-{GUID}\ 2. The placeholder file carries EICAR test file content (Virus:DOS/EICAR_Test_File) to reliably trigger a Defender scan and remediation attempt 3. Requests a batch oplock (FSCTL_REQUEST_BATCH_OPLOCK) on the placeholder file 4. When Defender attempts to scan/quarantine the file, the oplock triggers - holding the file open 5. During the oplock break window, RedSun swaps the mount point (junction) to redirect \\?\C:\Windows\System32 to the attacker-controlled temp path 6. This races the AV/OS into executing the malicious TieringEngineService.exe with elevated privileges
