Verdict

S4successful_intrusionConfidence 97%Escalate: yes

Reasoning

A successful SSH login occurred using root/admin, which establishes a foothold on the honeypot. Per rubric, any successful login is at least severity 4 and falls under successful_intrusion unless there is evidence of malware delivery or persistence. Session commands were checked as required after login; none were executed, and there were no downloads or uploads, so there is no basis to raise severity to 5 or change category.

Recommended action

Escalate for review, retain session artifacts, and monitor for repeat access from this source or credential reuse patterns.
