Ruby on Rails Framework Exceptions

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule is designed to detect potentially harmful behavior within Ruby on Rails applications by monitoring for specific exceptions that may signify exploitation attempts. The exceptions targeted by this rule include 1) InvalidAuthenticityToken, which indicates issues with CSRF token verification, 2) InvalidCrossOriginRequest, suggesting an inappropriate cross-origin request, 3) MethodNotAllowed, meaning an attempt to invoke a prohibited HTTP method, 4) BadRequest, indicating problems with client requests, and 5) ParameterMissing, which might suggest a malicious attempt to manipulate parameters. Given the framework's widespread use, recognizing these exceptions allows for early identification of potential attacks. This rule helps reinforce application security by providing alerts on anomalous behaviors, thus enabling preemptive measures against exploitation in production environments.
