This rule identifies instances where a user has been assigned a privileged role within Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID) but is not actively using that role. This is detected by monitoring 'redundantAssignmentAlertIncident' risk events from the Azure PIM (Privileged Identity Management) service. Such alerts can indicate over-privileged accounts, potential misconfigurations, or accounts that could be targeted for privilege escalation if compromised.
This rule detects the execution of the 'esxcli' command on an ESXi host with specific arguments to assign administrative permissions to an account. The command line must contain 'system', 'permission', 'set', and 'Admin', indicating an attempt to modify user permissions to grant administrative privileges. This activity is highly suspicious as it can lead to privilege escalation or persistence on the hypervisor.
This rule detects when a new member is added to a security-enabled global group in a Windows environment. This activity is significant because adding users to such groups can grant them elevated privileges or access to sensitive resources, making it a common action for adversaries attempting privilege escalation or persistence.
Detects modifications to Group Policy Object (GPO) attributes, specifically 'gPCMachineExtensionNames', that are indicative of adding privileges to user accounts or adding users as local administrators. This is identified by the presence of specific GUIDs ('827D319E-6EAC-11D2-A4EA-00C04F79F83A' or '803E14A0-B4FB-11D0-A0D0-00A0C90F574B') within the 'AttributeValue' field of EventID 5136. These GUIDs are associated with Group Policy extensions that can be abused for privilege escalation.
Detects the addition of a new root certificate authority to an Azure AD tenant. This action can be performed by an attacker to establish persistence and enable certificate-based authentication for unauthorized access, potentially bypassing traditional password-based authentication mechanisms. This is a critical security event as it can lead to privilege escalation and persistent access within the Azure AD environment.
This rule detects when a user is added to a group that has permissions to modify Conditional Access (CA) policies within Azure Active Directory. Such an action could indicate an attempt to escalate privileges, bypass existing security controls, or establish persistence by altering authentication processes.
This rule identifies when an organization's Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM) service detects an 'invalidLicenseAlertIncident'. This indicates that the necessary Microsoft Entra Premium P2 or Microsoft Entra ID Governance license for PIM is either missing or has expired, leading to non-compliance and potential security risks related to privileged access management.
Detects when an AWS Route 53 domain is transferred to another AWS account. This activity could indicate an attempt by an adversary to maintain persistence or exfiltrate domain control by moving it to an account they control.
This rule identifies suspicious activity related to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) in AWS. Specifically, it looks for two events: `AssumeRoleWithSAML` from the `sts.amazonaws.com` service and `UpdateSAMLProvider` from the `iam.amazonaws.com` service. An adversary could leverage these actions to gain unauthorized access, establish persistence, or escalate privileges within an AWS environment by manipulating SAML providers or assuming roles via SAML.
Detects when certificate-based authentication has been enabled in an Azure Active Directory tenant. This change can be an indicator of an adversary establishing a new authentication method for persistence or privilege escalation, or preparing for such activities.
Detects when a user account is added to the local 'Administrators' group on a Windows system. This activity is critical for privilege escalation and persistence, as it grants the added user administrative rights. While it can be a legitimate administrative action, it is also a common technique used by attackers to maintain control and elevate privileges after initial compromise.
Detects the use of the 'EnableRegion' command in AWS CloudTrail logs. This command allows an AWS account to enable additional regions. Monitoring this activity is crucial because adversaries might enable new, less-monitored regions to establish persistence, exfiltrate data, or conduct other malicious activities, potentially bypassing existing security controls that are not configured for these new regions.
Detects global permissions change activity.
Detects access to Okta admin functions through proxy.
This rule detects failed attempts to elevate privileges (PIM activation) in Azure Active Directory from devices that are not designated as Privileged Access Workstations (PAW) or Secure Access Workstations (SAW). It specifically looks for messages indicating 'Add member to role completed (PIM activation)' in the sign-in logs, combined with conditions that identify non-compliant devices, unapproved IP addresses, unapproved countries, or unapproved device information. The rule is designed to flag suspicious privilege elevation attempts that originate from unauthorized or untrusted environments, which could indicate a compromised account or an attempt to bypass security controls.
Detects changes to the AWS Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) identity provider configuration. Such changes, including associating, disassociating, enabling, or disabling an external identity provider, could be used by an attacker to establish persistent access or escalate privileges through user impersonation.
This rule identifies when an admission controller is executed in Azure Kubernetes. Admission controllers intercept and potentially modify requests to the Kubernetes API server. Adversaries can leverage admission webhooks (MutatingAdmissionWebhook or ValidatingAdmissionWebhook) for persistence, such as injecting malicious containers into pods or intercepting API requests to steal credentials and sensitive information.
Identify Suspicious Admin Activity in F5 BIG IP
Detects suspicious administrative activities on F5 BIG-IP devices, such as failed logins or configuration changes. This is based on recommendations from F5 in response to a security incident disclosed in October 2025 where a threat actor gained access to BIG-IP development environments. F5 advised customers to enhance monitoring for admin logins, failed authentications, and privilege and configuration changes.
Detects GitHub activity associated with the 'Shai-Hulud' NPM supply chain attack. The attack involves malicious NPM packages that use stolen GitHub tokens to create a new branch, inject a malicious workflow file to exfiltrate secrets, and make private repositories public.
Detects when a transfer lock was removed from an AWS Route 53 domain. This action is typically performed when intending to transfer the domain to a different registrar, but it can also be an indicator of malicious activity if unauthorized. Disabling the transfer lock makes the domain vulnerable to unauthorized transfers, which could lead to domain hijacking or redirection of traffic.
