What it detects

This rule detects requests to MOVEitISAPI.dll with action=m2, the server-side request forwarding primitive identified through patch diffing by Assetnote for CVE-2023-34362. The m2 action proxies requests toward internal-only MOVEit endpoints and is a core step in reaching the vulnerable machine2 logic. Detecting this action on the ISAPI extension highlights probing or exploitation of the internal request path.
