Command Execution Prevention Whitelisting/Blacklisting
is a critical security measure implemented to control the commands executed by
privileged accounts and prevent potential threats. This feature operates by
defining allowed (whitelist) and prohibited (blacklist) commands. Users are
only permitted to execute commands listed on the whitelist, while commands on
the blacklist are automatically blocked by the system. This mechanism plays a
vital role in preventing malicious activities, as well as minimizing the impact
of misconfigurations or erroneous commands, thereby enhancing the overall
security of the organization. In this way, vulnerabilities within the system
are minimized, and potential attacks are preemptively mitigated.
