Description

Detects suspicious child process execution from the OpenClaw, Moltbot, or Clawdbot AI coding agents running via Node.js. These tools can execute arbitrary shell commands through skills or prompt injection attacks. Malicious skills from public registries like ClawHub have been observed executing obfuscated download-and-execute commands targeting cryptocurrency wallets and credentials. This rule identifies shells, scripting interpreters, and common LOLBins spawned by these AI agents.

Detection logic

Its licence does not clear it for publishing here

Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.

Detections can measure how the public catalogue is used — which detections people look for, and which pages bring them here. It sets a cookie that recognises this browser for 180 days. It is never linked to an account and never follows you to other sites. Privacy notice
