• Design and ship a Node.js runtime agent that hooks into the V8/Node lifecycle to trace and block malicious behavior patterns (child_process spawn chains, eval / Function constructors, prototype pollution exploitation, unsafe deserialization, SSRF, path traversal, fs writes to sensitive locations, malicious require() / dynamic import chains, supply-chain poisoning at load time). • Define the detection model: which behaviors are policy-blockable by default, which are signal-only, and how rules are authored, distributed, and versioned alongside our existing Proactive Defense rule pipeline. • Integrate the agent with the rest of the on-host Imunify security stack so that Node.js detections, blocks, and incidents flow into the same telemetry pipeline, the same backend event store, and the same admin UI as our other layers (WAF, host-IDS, brute-force protection, malware scanner, patch management). This ships as a first-class layer of Imunify360, not a standalone tool. • Make it production-safe on shared hosting: low overhead, tenant-isolated, compatible with CageFS / LVE, and resilient to hostile tenants who will try to disable or evade the agent. • Build the pipeline that turns CVE write-ups and threat-intel feeds into shipped detections. The system — not a human — ingests advisories, extracts the exploit primitive, generates and tests rule candidates against a corpus, and rolls them out with the right signal-only / blocking posture. • Own the closed feedback loop from production blocks (true positives, false positives, evasions) back into the next generation of rules.
