This rule flags HTTP GET requests whose URI path contains either /human2.aspx or /_human2.aspx. These file paths are specifically associated with attempted exploitation workflows targeting MOVEit for CVE-2023-34362 and may indicate persistence through web shell behavior. Detection relies on webserver request telemetry that includes the HTTP method and the requested URI stem.
