Summary
This analytic rule is designed to detect instances of privilege escalation in Linux environments by monitoring the execution of the 'csvtool' command with 'sudo' privileges. The rule utilizes data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, specifically examining process execution logs that include command-line details. When a user executes 'csvtool' with 'sudo', it raises a red flag as this command can potentially allow a user to run arbitrary system commands as the root user, thus indicating a possible privilege escalation attack. The implications of such activity are severe, as successful exploitation could lead to total system compromise, enabling attackers to execute any command and maintain persistent access to the system. The detection logic is structured around process names and incorporates metadata to provide context around the execution, contributing to effective anomaly detection for security teams.
