12+
This rule monitors for the usage of the built-in Linux DebugFS utility to access a disk device without root permissions.
13+
Linux users that are part of the "disk" group have sufficient privileges to access all data inside of the machine through
14+
DebugFS. Attackers may leverage DebugFS in conjunction with "disk" permissions to read sensitive files owned by root,
15+
such as the shadow file, root ssh private keys or other sensitive files that may allow them to further escalate
16+
privileges.
