- Endpoint
description: This analytic is to looks for file creation of sudoers.tmp file cause
by editing /etc/sudoers using visudo or editor in linux platform. This technique may abuse
by adversaries, malware author and red teamers to gain elevated privilege to targeted
or compromised host. /etc/sudoers file controls who can run what commands as what
users on what machines and can also control special things such as whether you need
a password for particular commands. The file is composed of aliases (basically variables)
and user specifications (which control who can run what).
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Filesystem where Filesystem.file_path IN ("*sudoers.tmp*")
by Filesystem.dest Filesystem.file_name Filesystem.process_guid Filesystem.file_path
| `drop_dm_object_name(Filesystem)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `linux_sudoers_tmp_file_creation_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the Add-on for Linux Sysmon from Splunkbase.
known_false_positives: administrator or network operator can execute this command.
Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.
