description: RubyGems is a package manager for the Ruby programming language that
provides a standard format for distributing Ruby programs and libraries (in a self-contained
format called a "gem"), a tool designed to easily manage the installation of gems,
and a server for distributing them. If sudo right is given to GEM utility 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: '*-c*'
selection2:
CommandLine: '*gem*open*-e*'
selection3:
CommandLine: '*sudo*'
condition: selection1 and selection2 and selection3
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.
