Verdict

S4successful_intrusionConfidence 98%Escalate: yes

Reasoning

A successful SSH login occurred using root/cheri, which constitutes a foothold on the honeypot. Per the rubric, any successful login is severity 4 even if no post-login commands, downloads, or uploads were observed. Retrieved session commands confirm no interactive activity after login, so there is no evidence to raise this to malware delivery or persistence.

Recommended action

Escalate as a confirmed successful intrusion; preserve session artifacts, review source IP for related activity, and ensure detections for successful SSH logins remain enabled.
