status: production
type: Anomaly
description: This analytic is to looks for file creation of sudoers.tmp file cause
by editing /etc/sudoers using visudo or editor in linux platform. This technique
may abuse by adversaries, malware author and red teamers to gain elevated privilege
to targeted or compromised host. /etc/sudoers file controls who can run what commands
as what users on what machines and can also control special things such as whether
you need a password for particular commands. The file is composed of aliases (basically
variables) and user specifications (which control who can run what).
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 11
search:
selection1:
TargetFilename: '*sudoers.tmp*'
condition: selection1
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. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the Add-on for Linux Sysmon from
Splunkbase.
known_false_positives: administrator or network operator can execute this command.
Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.
