feat(932390): add shell fork bomb detection rule at PL2#4563
Merged
Conversation
Detect shell fork bomb patterns where a function is defined with a
body that recursively pipes to itself and backgrounds the process,
causing exponential process creation (e.g. `:(){ :|:& };:`).
The rule matches the structural pattern `name() { ... | ... & ... }`
where the function name can include word characters and bash builtins
like `:` and `.`.
