type: Anomaly
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: The c99 utility is an interface to the standard C compilation system; it shall accept source code conforming to the ISO C standard. The system conceptually consists of a compiler and link editor.
If sudo right is given to ruby application for the user, then the user can run system commands as root and possibly get a root shell.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process="*c99*" AND Processes.process="*-wrapper*" AND Processes.process="*sudo*" by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name
Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id
Processes.process_guid | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `linux_c99_privilege_escalation_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 into the Endpoint datamodel. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the Add-on for Linux Sysmon from
Splunkbase.
known_false_positives: False positives may be present, filter as needed.
