+Detects potential exploitation of curl CVE-2023-38545 by monitoring for vulnerable command line arguments in conjunction 
+with an unusual command line length. A flaw in curl version <= 8.3 makes curl vulnerable to a heap based buffer overflow
+during the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. Upgrade to curl version >= 8.4 to patch this vulnerability. This exploit can be executed 
+with and without the use of environment variables. For increased visibility, enable the collection of http_proxy, 
+HTTPS_PROXY and ALL_PROXY environment variables based on the instructions provided in the setup guide of this rule.

+Elastic Defend integration does not collect environment variable logging by default.
+In order to capture this behavior, this rule requires a specific configuration option set within the advanced settings of the Elastic Defend integration.
+To set up environment variable capture for an Elastic Agent policy:
+- Go to Security → Manage → Policies.
+- Select an Elastic Agent policy.
+- Click Show advanced settings.
+- Scroll down or search for linux.advanced.capture_env_vars.
+- Enter the names of env vars you want to capture, separated by commas.
+- For this rule the linux.advanced.capture_env_vars variable should be set to "http_proxy,HTTPS_PROXY,ALL_PROXY".
+- Click Save.
+After saving the integration change, the Elastic Agents running this policy will be updated and the rule will function properly.
+For more information on capturing environment variables refer to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/environment-variable-capture.html
