This detection rule identifies instances where the Emacs text editor is executed with elevated privileges on Linux systems using the `sudo` command paired with the `--eval` option. Such executions, which are logged by Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, are critical as they signal potential attempts at privilege escalation. Attackers can exploit this by executing arbitrary commands with root access, leading to a complete compromise of the affected system and unauthorized access to sensitive data. The rule processes event logs that capture command-line arguments of running processes, focusing specifically on patterns that could indicate malicious activities performed through Emacs. This behavior is not typical for standard user operations and warrants further investigation to ensure system integrity and security.
