This rule detects potential privilege escalation attempts on Linux systems where OpenVPN is executed with elevated privileges using particular command-line arguments. Specifically, it triggers on the execution of OpenVPN with the `--dev`, `--script-security`, and `--up` options combined with the usage of `sudo`. Utilizing data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, the detection focuses on abnormal process execution patterns that could be indicative of attempts to execute system commands as root. If this activity is confirmed malicious, it has the potential to lead to complete system compromise, granting attackers full control and the ability to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
