Cronjob
A root cronjob has been identified manually and automatically although PSPY was unable to capture the execution flow
It conducts an archiving operation of the
/home/andre/backup
directory using tar
The tar operation itself uses the wildcard bit (*
), which is inherently vulnerable

-rwxr-x--- 1 andre andre 51 Feb 9 2020 note*
The directory is only accessible to the andre
user.
I am able to access it now that I have compromised the andre
account
