Potential Linux Amazon SSM Agent Hijacking
This rule detects attempts to hijack the Amazon SSM Agent on Linux systems. Specifically, it looks for the 'amazon-ssm-agent' executable being run with command-line arguments indicative of registration with a new code, ID, and region. This behavior is consistent with the technique described in the Mitiga research report where the SSM agent can be abused as a remote access trojan for persistence and command and control.
