Detects tools or agent instructions that perform bulk extraction of environment
|
|
6
|
+
variables and combine it with network exfiltration. Environment variables commonly
|
|
7
|
+
hold API keys, database credentials, and service tokens. An attacker gaining access
|
|
8
|
+
to the full environment can compromise every connected service. This rule targets
|
|
9
|
+
both the harvesting step (printenv, process.env, os.environ) and the exfiltration
|
|
10
|
+
step (curl, fetch, http calls) when they appear together or individually.
