'This detection highlights executables deployed to hosts via either the Default Domain or Default Domain Controller Policies. These policies apply to all hosts or Domain Controllers and best practice is that these policies should not be used for deployment of files.
A threat actor may use these policies to deploy files or scripts to all hosts in a domain.
This query uses the ASIM parsers and will need them deployed before usage - https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/normalization'

Get stats on ASR audit events - count events and machines per rule.
Detects scenarios where system auditing for important events such as "Process Creation" or "Logon" events is disabled. This rule specifically looks for Event ID 4719, which indicates a change in audit policy, combined with specific Subcategory GUIDs and audit policy change codes ('%%8448' for Success removed or '%%8450' for Failure removed).
This rule identifies when an Azure Kubernetes network policy is modified or deleted. Network policies control the traffic flow between pods/namespaces and to/from external network endpoints. Unauthorized modification or deletion of these policies can lead to security vulnerabilities, such as allowing unauthorized network access to sensitive services or disrupting legitimate communication within the cluster, potentially leading to a denial of service or data exfiltration.
Detects when a Kubernetes Rolebinding is created or modified.
Detects suspicious Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policy file creation from abnormal processes that could be abused by an attacker to block EDR/AV components while allowing their own malicious code to run on the system. The rule specifically looks for file creation events in the default WDAC policy directory and filters out known legitimate processes that manage these policies.
This detection identifies when a new Microsoft Intune device management configuration policy has been created. Intune device management configuration policies are used by administrators to remotely manage policies and settings on Intune-managed devices. This functionality can be abused by adversaries to disable defenses and evade detection.
The following analytic identifies modifications to Okta Identity Provider (IDP) lifecycle events, including creation, activation, deactivation, and deletion of IDP configurations. It uses OktaIm2 logs ingested via the Splunk Add-on for Okta Identity Cloud. Monitoring these events is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of authentication mechanisms. Unauthorized or anomalous changes could indicate potential security breaches or misconfigurations. If confirmed malicious, attackers could manipulate authentication processes, potentially gaining unauthorized access or disrupting identity management systems.
The following analytic detects the addition of permissions required for a DCSync attack, specifically DS-Replication-Get-Changes, DS-Replication-Get-Changes-All, and DS-Replication-Get-Changes-In-Filtered-Set. It leverages EventCode 5136 from the Windows Security Event Log to identify when these permissions are granted. This activity is significant because it indicates potential preparation for a DCSync attack, which can be used to replicate AD objects and exfiltrate sensitive data. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain extensive access to Active Directory, leading to severe data breaches and privilege escalation.
This analytic identifies when changes are made to the external guest policies within Azure AD. Specifically, it looks for the "Update policy." operation targeting "B2BManagementPolicy" in the Office 365 Universal Audit Log. The rule extracts and highlights the specific changes made to allowed/blocked domains for B2B collaboration, indicating whether domains were added or removed. Monitoring these changes is crucial as modifications to external identity policies can impact unauthorized access, as described in the BlackHat 2022 talk "Backdooring and Hijacking Azure AD Accounts by Abusing External Identities."
The analytic detects instances where the O365 advanced audit is disabled for a specific user within the Office 365 tenant. It uses O365 audit logs, focusing on events related to audit license changes in AzureActiveDirectory workloads. This activity is significant because the O365 advanced audit provides critical logging and insights into user and administrator activities. Disabling it can blind security teams to potential malicious actions. If confirmed malicious, attackers could operate within the user's mailbox or account with reduced risk of detection, leading to unauthorized data access, data exfiltration, or account compromise.
The following analytic detects the addition of a new custom domain within an Azure Active Directory (AD) tenant. It leverages Azure AD AuditLogs to identify successful "Add unverified domain" operations. This activity is significant as it may indicate an adversary attempting to establish persistence by setting up identity federation backdoors, allowing them to impersonate users and bypass authentication mechanisms. If confirmed malicious, this could enable attackers to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, and maintain long-term access to the Azure AD environment, posing a severe security risk.
This detection identifies when a new client-side extension is added to an Active Directory Group Policy using the Group Policy Management Console. This can be an indicator of an adversary attempting to establish persistence or escalate privileges by modifying GPOs to execute malicious code or configurations on domain-joined machines.
The following analytic identifies when cross-tenant access/synchronization policies are changed in an Azure tenant. Adversaries have been observed altering victim cross-tenant policies as a method of lateral movement or maintaining persistent access to compromised environments. These policies should be considered sensitive and monitored for changes and/or loose configuration.
The analytic detects the assignment of critical Graph API permissions in Azure AD using the O365 Unified Audit Log. It focuses on permissions such as Application.ReadWrite.All, AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All, and RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory. The detection method leverages Azure Active Directory workload events, specifically 'Update application' operations. This activity is significant as these permissions provide extensive control over Azure AD settings, posing a high risk if misused. If confirmed malicious, this could allow unauthorized modifications, leading to potential data breaches or privilege escalation. Immediate investigation is crucial.
The analytic detects the creation of a new Group Policy Object (GPO) by leveraging Windows Event IDs 5136 and 5137. These directory service change events indicate when a new GPO is created. Monitoring GPO creation is critical because adversaries can exploit GPOs to escalate privileges or deploy malware across an Active Directory network. Malicious GPO creation could allow attackers to control system configurations, deploy ransomware, or propagate malware, leading to widespread compromise and significant operational disruption.
The following analytic detects successful API calls to view, update, or delete the password policy in an AWS organization. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify events such as "UpdateAccountPasswordPolicy," "GetAccountPasswordPolicy," and "DeleteAccountPasswordPolicy." This activity is significant because it is uncommon for regular users to perform these actions, and such changes can indicate an adversary attempting to understand or weaken password defenses. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to compromised accounts and increased attack surface, potentially allowing unauthorized access and control over AWS resources.
This analytic identifies when the allowed domain settings for O365 SharePoint have been changed. With Azure AD B2B collaboration, users and administrators can invite external users to collaborate with internal users. External guest account invitations may also need access to OneDrive/SharePoint resources. These changes should be monitored by security teams as they could potentially lead to unauthorized access.
The following analytic detects when the "risk-based step-up consent" security setting in Microsoft 365 is disabled. It monitors Azure Active Directory logs for the "Update authorization policy" operation, specifically changes to the "AllowUserConsentForRiskyApps" setting. This activity is significant because disabling this feature can expose the organization to OAuth phishing threats, allowing users to grant consent to malicious applications. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain unauthorized access to user data and sensitive information, leading to data breaches and further compromise within the organization.
The following analytic detects modifications to the Access Control List (ACL) of the AdminSDHolder object in a Windows domain, specifically the addition of new rules. It leverages EventCode 5136 from the Security Event Log, focusing on changes to the nTSecurityDescriptor attribute. This activity is significant because the AdminSDHolder object secures privileged group members, and unauthorized changes can allow attackers to establish persistence and escalate privileges. If confirmed malicious, this could enable an attacker to control domain-level permissions, compromising the entire Active Directory environment.
The following analytic identifies the creation of a new AWS IAM policy version that allows access to all resources. It detects this activity by analyzing AWS CloudTrail logs for the CreatePolicyVersion event with a policy document that grants broad permissions. This behavior is significant because it violates the principle of least privilege, potentially exposing the environment to misuse or abuse. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain extensive access to AWS resources, leading to unauthorized actions, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the AWS environment.
