Samirbous 245956a8d6 [New] Potential Privilege Escalation in Container via Runc Init (#5964)
* [New] Potential Privilege Escalation in Container via Runc Init

Identifies audit events for `runc init` child processes where the effective user is root and the login user ID is not root.
This pattern can indicate privilege escalation or credential separation abuse inside container runtimes, where a process executes  with elevated effective privileges while retaining a non-root audit identity.

* Update privilege_escalation_container_runc_init_effective_root_auditd.toml

* Update privilege_escalation_container_runc_init_effective_root_auditd.toml

* Update privilege_escalation_container_runc_init_effective_root_auditd.toml

rules/

Rules within this folder are organized by solution or platform. The structure is flattened out, because nested file hierarchies are hard to navigate and find what you're looking for. Each directory contains several .toml files, and the primary ATT&CK tactic is included in the file name when it's relevant (i.e. windows/execution_via_compiled_html_file.toml)
