description: In computing, Puppet is a software configuration management tool which
includes its own declarative language to describe system configuration. It is a
model-driven solution that requires limited programming knowledge to use. If sudo
right is given to the tool for the user, then the user can run system commands as
root and possibly get a root shell.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
CommandLine: '*apply*'
selection2:
CommandLine: '*puppet*'
selection3:
CommandLine: '*-e*'
selection4:
CommandLine: '*exec*'
selection5:
CommandLine: '*sudo*'
condition: selection1 and selection2 and selection3 and selection4 and selection5
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.
