CyberMinds Task Knowledge: #109 CTF-05 Privilege Escalation Trace

Issue: https://github.com/Cyber-Minds/CyberMinds/issues/109 Owner: @vishaan2010-dotcom Due: 2026-04-24

Objective

Ship intermediate multi-log correlation challenge for first escalation path analysis.

Recommended Build Plan

1. Create auth/sudo multi-file fixture bundle.
2. Require first escalation path + impacted account identification.
3. Add checker for chronological consistency and entity mapping.

Security And Safety

• Use synthetic accounts/hosts only.
• No real command history or sensitive data artifacts.
• Enforce strict timestamp parsing and fail closed on malformed input.

Quality Checks

• Add tests for missing-event and out-of-order submissions.
• Provide clear remediation hints in checker output.
