Detects interactive root shell requests via 'sudo -i' that occur shortly after a failed Parallels appliance installation or tar extraction event containing specific error codes or configuration markers (UCP_UID=0). This pattern aligns with the exploitation chain for CVE-2026-90894, where an attacker leverages an extraction failure to escalate privileges.
Detects the use of the 'tar' utility with the '--use-compress-program' flag, where the compression program specified is not a standard system compression tool. This pattern is commonly used by attackers to execute arbitrary payloads when tar extracts malicious archives.
Detects a Parallels appliance tar archive containing a directory entry name with an embedded double-quote character followed by the --use-compress-program flag, characteristic of the ParaShells (CVE-2026-90894) tar argument-injection payload
Detects suspicious execution of the 'tar' utility spawned by 'prl_disp_service' (Parallels Desktop service) using potentially malicious command-line arguments. The rule specifically flags the use of '--use-compress-program' or the inclusion of double quotes in the command line, which are often used to achieve arbitrary code execution via shell injection in this context.
Detects suspicious execution of the 'tar' utility spawned by 'prl_disp_service' (Parallels Desktop service) using potentially malicious command-line arguments. The rule specifically flags the use of '--use-compress-program' or the inclusion of double quotes in the command line, which are often used to achieve arbitrary code execution via shell injection in this context.
Detects the creation of files or folders containing suspicious command-line parameters associated with tar or Parallels toolchain injection, specifically looking for the 'use-compress-program' flag which can be abused for command injection.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events where the Parallels Desktop dispatcher service (prl_disp_service) executes a tar command with a compression program flag, followed immediately by the creation or modification of a launch agent (.plist) file in system or user launch directories. This pattern is indicative of exploitation or post-exploitation activity attempting to achieve persistence.
This rule detects unauthorized modifications to the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory, specifically identifying files with a 'prl-rce-' naming pattern that contain 'NOPASSWD:ALL'. This configuration allows users to execute commands with elevated privileges (root) without requiring a password, which is a common technique used by attackers to maintain persistence and facilitate privilege escalation on Linux systems.
This rule detects unauthorized modifications to the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory, specifically identifying files with a 'prl-rce-' naming pattern that contain 'NOPASSWD:ALL'. This configuration allows users to execute commands with elevated privileges (root) without requiring a password, which is a common technique used by attackers to maintain persistence and facilitate privilege escalation on Linux systems.
Detects unauthorized or non-privileged processes attempting to communicate with the Parallels Desktop IPC Unix socket (prl_disp_service.socket). This behavior is indicative of exploitation attempts targeting the ParaShells vulnerability (CVE-2026-90894), where an unprivileged user can leverage the socket's lack of proper signature or identity verification to escalate privileges.
