ESXi Admin Permission Assigned To Account Via ESXCLI
This rule detects the execution of the 'esxcli' command on an ESXi host with specific arguments to assign administrative permissions to an account. The command line must contain 'system', 'permission', 'set', and 'Admin', indicating an attempt to modify user permissions to grant administrative privileges. This activity is highly suspicious as it can lead to privilege escalation or persistence on the hypervisor.
