Emerging Threats has released a significant ruleset update, v10950, aimed at bolstering network security and threat detection. The update includes 73 new open rules and 136 new pro rules, totaling 209 enhancements to the existing security framework. These rules are designed to address a wide spectrum of threats, ranging from general malware to web application-specific vulnerabilities and hunting activities, enabling organizations to strengthen their defenses against an evolving threat landscape. The release date for this update is June 13, 2025.

Among the key targets of this update is the Predator spyware, which remains a persistent threat despite US sanctions. The ruleset includes specific signatures to detect DNS queries associated with Predator spyware domains, such as gilfonts .com, zipzone .io, and numerous others. This highlights the ongoing efforts to identify and neutralize the infrastructure used by Intellexa, the maker of Predator, even as they attempt to evade detection through new servers and domains. This focus underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and adaptation in the face of sophisticated surveillance tools.

In addition to addressing the Predator spyware, the ruleset update also tackles a critical vulnerability in Fortinet Admin APIs, specifically a Stack-based Buffer Overflow in the AuthHash Cookie, identified as CVE-2025-32756. This rule aims to protect against potential exploits targeting this weakness in Fortinet systems. Furthermore, the update incorporates rules for hunting SQL Database Version Discovery, enhancing the ability to proactively identify and address potential vulnerabilities within network environments. This comprehensive approach ensures a multi-layered defense against various attack vectors.
