Shell Script Analysis Support for Wildfire Inline ML
To access the new shell script analysis
classification engine for WildFire Inline ML, be
sure to download and install the latest PAN-OS content release.
PAN-OS Applications and Threats content release 8543 and later allows
firewalls operating PAN-OS 10.x and later to detect and prevent
malicious shell scripts from entering your network in real-time.
For more information about the update, refer to the Applications
and Threat Content Release Notes.
To download the release
notes, log in to the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal, click Dynamic
Updates and select the release notes listed under Apps + Threats.
WildFire Inline ML now
supports a new shell script (.sh) analysis engine. This enables
you to configure your firewall to detect and prevent malicious shell
scripts from entering your network in real-time by locally applying
machine learning (ML) analytics. WildFire Inline ML dynamically
detects malicious scripts by evaluating various file details to
formulate a high probability classification of a file. This protection
extends to currently unknown as well as future variants of threats
that match characteristics that Palo Alto Networks identified as
malicious. If you do not have WildFire Inline ML enabled on your
firewall, refer to WildFire Inline ML for
more information.
- Update your existing Antivirus Security profile to enable the shell script analysis and classification engine.
- Select an existingAntivirus ProfileorAdda new one (Objects > Security Profiles > Antivirus).
- Configure your Antivirus profile.
- SelectWildFire Inline MLand apply anAction Settingfor the new WildFire inline ML model. This enforces WildFire inline ML Actions settings for each protocol on a per-model basis. In addition to the currently available classification engines,Shellshould now be available. If this model is unavailable, verify that you have content release 8543 or later installed on the firewall.
- enable (inherit per-protocol actions)—WildFire inspects traffic according to your selections in the WildFire Inline ML Action column in the decoders section of theActiontab.
- alert-only (override more strict actions to alert)—WildFire inspects traffic according to your selections in the WildFire Inline ML Action column in the decoders section of theActiontab and overrides any action with a severity level higher thanalert(drop,reset-client,reset-server,reset-both)alert, which allows traffic to pass while still generating and saving an alert in the threat logs.
- disable (for all protocols)—WildFire allows traffic to pass without any policy action.
- ClickOKto exit the Antivirus Profile configuration dialog andCommityour new settings.
- (Optional) Add file exceptions to your Antivirus Security profile if you encounter false-positives. This is typically done for users who are not forwarding files to WildFire for analysis. You can add the file exception details directly to the exception list or by specifying a file from the threat logs.If your firewall WildFire Analysis security profile is configured to forward shell scripts, false-positives are automatically corrected as they are received. If you continue to see ml-virus alerts for scripts that have been classified as benign by WildFire Analysis, please contact Palo Alto Networks Support.
- Add file exceptions directly to the exceptions list.
- SelectObjects > Security Profiles > Antivirus.
- Select an Antivirus profile for which you want to exclude specific files and then selectWildFire Inline ML.
- Add the hash, filename, and description of the file that you want to exclude from enforcement.
- ClickOKto save the Antivirus profile and thenCommityour changes.
- Add file exceptions from threat logs entries.
- SelectMonitor > Logs > Threatand filter the logs for theml-virusthreat type. Select a threat log for a file for which you wish to create a file exception.
