Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for flexible and reusable rule evaluation for secure execution of external commands. One example method includes identifying a first request to execute a command on a computing system. A data structure is accessed that defines rules for commands. A tree of the data structure for the command is evaluated to determine whether to allow execution of the command on the computing system. Respective rule nodes of the tree are evaluated to determine whether corresponding rules for the command are satisfied. Execution of the command on the computing system is allowed in response to determining that the corresponding rule of each evaluated rule node is satisfied and execution of the first command on the first computing system is denied in response to determining that the corresponding rule of each evaluated rule node has not been satisfied.
