 'description': 'Secure Shell (SSH) is a standard means of remote access on '
                'Linux and macOS systems. It allows a user to connect to '
                'another system via an encrypted tunnel, commonly '
                'authenticating through a password, certificate or the use of '
                'an asymmetric encryption key pair.\n'
                '\n'
                'In order to move laterally from a compromised host, '
                'adversaries may take advantage of trust relationships '
                'established with other systems via public key authentication '
                'in active SSH sessions by hijacking an existing connection to '
                'another system. This may occur through compromising the SSH '
                "agent itself or by having access to the agent's socket. If an "
                'adversary is able to obtain root access, then hijacking SSH '
                'sessions is likely trivial. (Citation: Slideshare Abusing '

                'Agent Hijacking) Compromising the SSH agent also provides '
                'access to intercept SSH credentials. (Citation: '
