Rule 52502 reports false positive
Hi team,
A community user has reported he obtains false virus detected alert. You can read more about it in this mailing thread: ClamAV false Virus detected alert.
It's caused rule 52502:
https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-ruleset/blob/a26fe6ca7d0ac9bc6f44688ff3002aea45d2a4f9/rules/0320-clam_av_rules.xml#L22-L27
It only searches the word found
and it can match logs like:
Nov 18 03:07:43 eva clamd[923]: Mon Nov 18 03:07:43 2019 -> ^lstat() failed on: /home/eva/lost+found
To solve it we could add blank space before word:
<rule id="52502" level="8">
<if_sid>52500</if_sid>
<match> FOUND</match>
<description>ClamAV: Virus detected</description>
<group>virus,pci_dss_5.1,pci_dss_5.2,pci_dss_11.4,gpg13_4.2,gdpr_IV_35.7.d,nist_800_53_SI.3,nist_800_53_SI.4,</group>
</rule>
Best regards, Eva
