What it detects

This rule detects inbound requests to Cisco ASA web login endpoints /+CSCOE+/logon.html and /+webvpn+/index.html that carry the single spoofed browser identifier Chrome/102.0.5005.63 used across a coordinated scanning botnet. The activity mapped a surge of 25,000 IPs probing Cisco ASA devices, frequently a precursor to a newly disclosed vulnerability being weaponized for initial access.
