Dynamic linker hijacking attempt

Goal

Detect attempts to load a malicious library.

Strategy

After an attacker’s initial intrusion into a victim container or host (for example, through a web shell exploit), they may attempt to escalate privileges, evade defenses, or establish persistence by hijacking environment variables such as LD_PRELOAD, or configuration files such as /etc/ld.so.preload/, which the dynamic linker uses to load shared libraries.

Requires Agent version 7.39 or greater
