Verdict

S4successful_intrusionConfidence 97%Escalate: yes

Reasoning

A successful SSH login occurred using root/124, which establishes a foothold and meets severity 4 by rubric. Tool output confirms no post-login commands or payload transfer, so there is no evidence of malware delivery or persistence. The short session with zero commands suggests an automated or aborted intrusion immediately after authentication rather than deeper hands-on activity.

Recommended action

Escalate as a confirmed honeypot compromise, retain session artifacts, block or monitor the source IP, and review for similar successful logins using weak/default credentials.
