CompTIA Exam CV0-004 Topic 1 Question 17 Discussion
Topic #: 1
The company's IDS has reported an anomaly. The cloud engineer remotely accesses the cloud instance, runs a command, and receives the following information:
Which of the following is the most likely root cause of this anomaly?
The output from the 'ps' command indicates there is a process running under the UID (User ID) of 0, which is the root user, and the command that was run is '/var/www/command.py'. Given that the normal Apache processes are running under their own UID (65535), this suggests that a command was executed with root privileges that typically should not have such high-level access. This is a strong indicator of privilege escalation, where an unauthorized user or process gains elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.
