First Time Python Accessed Sensitive Credential Files
Detects the first time a Python process accesses sensitive credential files on a given host. This behavior may indicate post-exploitation credential theft via a malicious Python script, compromised dependency, or malicious model file deserialization. Legitimate Python processes do not typically access credential files such as SSH keys, AWS credentials, browser cookies, Kerberos tickets, or keychain databases, so a first occurrence is a strong indicator of compromise.
