Description

Attackers can abuse NetworkManager dispatcher scripts to maintain persistence on a system by executing malicious code whenever a network event occurs.

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.
