This rule detects attempts to exploit CVE-2025-49706, an authentication bypass in Microsoft SharePoint Server. The attack involves sending a POST request directly to the ToolPane.aspx endpoint with the query parameter
DisplayMode=Edit, which should only be accessible to authenticated users. The rule matches requests where:/_layouts/15/toolpane.aspx(case-insensitive, normalized).displaymodeargument is set toedit(case-insensitive, normalized).This approach ensures the rule is specific to the exploit path and parameter, minimizing false positives. The test config and nuclei template are adapted to expect a 403 response, which would indicate the WAF is blocking the exploit attempt.
