+description = """
+This rule detects the use of the built-in Linux DebugFS utility from inside a privileged container. DebugFS is a special
+file system debugging utility which supports reading and writing directly from a hard drive device. When launched inside
+a privileged container, a container deployed with all the capabilities of the host machine, an attacker can access
+sensitive host level files which could be used for further privilege escalation and container escapes to the host
+machine.
