Abstract
Embodiments provide functionality to protect computing workloads from script-based attacks. Upon receipt, at a workload, of a command to commence execution of code of a script, an embodiment determines whether (i) permissions of a user issuing the command comply with a permissions security standard, (ii) an identifier of an interpreter supporting the script is included in an approved interpreter list, (iii) an identifier of a selected parameter of the interpreter is included in an approved parameter list, and (iv) an identifier of the script is included in an approved list of executables. If all of the aforementioned checks pass, such an embodiment allows execution of the code of the script; otherwise, execution is denied, thereby protecting the workload in an event of a script-based attack.
