I just finished developing comprehensive YARA rules for the critical WSUS vulnerability CVE-2025-59287 (CVSS 9.8) that's being actively exploited in the wild.
What these YARA rules detect:
WSUS API exploitation attempts (/ClientWebService, /SimpleAuthWebService)
BinaryFormatter deserialization attacks
Shellcode patterns & memory corruption attempts
Suspicious network activity on ports 8530/8531
Configuration tampering in WSUS services
Why I built this:
As a security researcher, I noticed many organizations were struggling to detect exploitation attempts beyond just applying the Microsoft patch. These rules provide that additional layer of visibility.
Key features:
Low false-positive rate (tested against enterprise environments)
Real-time detection capability
SIEM integration ready
Covers multiple exploitation vectors
Quick start:
yara -r CVE_2025_59287_WSUS_Rules.yar /target_directory

The rules are completely free - just trying to help the community stay protected against this critical vulnerability. Let me know if you find them useful or have suggestions for improvement!
