Verdict

S4successful_intrusionConfidence 98%Escalate: yes

Reasoning

A successful SSH login occurred using weak credentials (root/123), which constitutes a foothold on the honeypot. Tool output confirms there were no post-login commands or payload transfers, so this did not progress to malware delivery or persistence. With a foothold achieved but no further activity, severity is 4 and the correct category is successful_intrusion.

Recommended action

Escalate as a confirmed successful login; review source IP for blocking/intel correlation and monitor for repeat attempts or follow-on sessions from the same actor.
