description: Node.js is a back-end JavaScript runtime environment that is open-source,
cross-platform, runs on the V8 engine, and executes JavaScript code outside of a
web browser. It was created to help create scalable network applications. If the
binary is allowed to run as superuser by sudo, it does not drop the elevated privileges
and may be used to access the file system, escalate or maintain privileged access.

how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
names and speed up the data modeling process.
known_false_positives: False positives are present based on automated tooling or system
administrative usage. Filter as needed.
