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: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process="*puppet*"
AND Processes.process="*apply*" AND Processes.process="*-e*" AND Processes.process="*exec*"
AND Processes.process="*sudo*" by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name

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 may be present, filter as needed.
