description = """
This rule identifies a sequence of events where a process named `entrypoint.sh` is started in a container, followed by a
network connection attempt. This sequence indicates a potential egress connection from an entrypoint in a container. An
entrypoint is a command or script specified in the Dockerfile and executed when the container starts. Attackers can use
this technique to establish a foothold in the environment, escape from a container to the host, or establish persistence.
