Linux Auditd AI CLI Permission Override Activated

This detection identifies when an AI command-line tool is launched in an unsafe mode that bypasses normal safety checks and user approvals. For instance, running claude --dangerously-skip-permissions skips all safety restrictions, allowing the tool to operate freely, while gemini --yolo automatically approves all actions without prompting the user. These modes, often called permission overrides or YOLO mode, let the AI execute commands, modify files, or perform tasks without confirmation. Detecting their use is important to prevent unintended or potentially harmful operations.
