Cloud and AI API Key Harvesting via env Enumeration or Credential File Access
This rule monitors for processes attempting to enumerate sensitive environment variables related to cloud services (AWS) and AI platforms (Anthropic), or access specific configuration and credential files (e.g., .aws/credentials, .config/anthropic). It specifically correlates these behaviors with potentially suspicious parent processes like bash, node, or python interpreters, which may indicate an AI agent or a reverse shell performing reconnaissance or credential exfiltration.
