Endpoint for linux - execute malware in /tmp

Hello, 

 

We are installing the Endpoint on linux clients, and we are able to download and execute malware in /tmp (recursively).

Since I can't find any exclusion for this folder, and did not found documentation on it, I'm asking if someone already had this issue.

 

If Yes, how did you get rid of this behavior ?

 

Here is an example : 

root@XXX:/tmp# wget https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com.txt
--2023-11-07 15:39:13-- https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com.txt

Thanks for your help.
