Detects the creation of a new local user account followed by its immediate addition to the local Administrators group, indicative of potential privilege escalation or persistence by an attacker.
Detects instances where a guest user or an external account (identified by the #EXT# suffix) performs an operation to add a new member to a Microsoft 365 Group. This behavior can be indicative of a guest account being compromised or misused to escalate privileges or gain unauthorized access by modifying group memberships.
Detects unauthorized attempts to escalate privileges within the MyBB Admin Control Panel (ACP) by creating a new account or modifying an existing one to belong to the administrator group (gid=4). This is indicative of an attacker attempting to gain full administrative control by bypassing module-level access restrictions.
Detects the creation of a new local account using the 'net' utility, followed immediately by that account being added to the local administrators group on the same endpoint. This behavior is a common indicator of persistence or privilege escalation attempts.
This rule monitors for additions of users to highly sensitive Active Directory groups, such as Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins, by tracking specific Windows security events (4728, 4732, 4756). Unauthorized membership changes in these groups are a classic indicator of privilege escalation or persistence maintenance by an adversary.
Detects suspicious OAuth application or service principal registration, or permission consent, performed by users who are not part of designated IT administrator groups. This rule flags high-privilege permission grants (e.g., Mail.Read, Directory.ReadWrite.All) or application consent events, which are common methods for establishing long-term persistence in cloud environments.
This rule detects potentially malicious activities on network devices by monitoring Syslog messages for account creation with high privileges, privilege abuse, configuration wiping, and anomalous SSH logins from unauthorized source IP addresses. The rule aggregates these events to identify multi-stage exploitation patterns on network infrastructure.

The rule aggregates these events to identify multi-stage exploitation patterns on network infrastructure.
This rule detects suspicious administrative activities in Azure AD, Microsoft Graph, SharePoint, Exchange, or Teams when performed by accounts that are not explicitly identified as 'admin' or 'service' accounts. It looks for a combination of at least 5 operations and 2 unique operation types within a 2-hour window, targeting group, application, or service principal related resources. This could indicate an attacker using compromised non-privileged accounts to perform administrative actions or escalate privileges.
Detects modification of local or domain group memberships for privilege persistence
This rule detects the creation of a new local user account followed by its addition to the local administrators group within a 10-minute timeframe. It monitors process command lines for 'net.exe' or 'powershell.exe' creating users and then adding them to the 'administrators' group, excluding domain operations.
Detects when a single user principal name (UPN) performs two or more Azure AD admin role assignments within an hour. This could indicate an attempt to escalate privileges or establish persistence by assigning administrative roles to multiple accounts or to the same account multiple times.
This rule detects when a user account assigns a 'Global Administrator' or 'Owner' role from multiple distinct IP addresses within a one-hour window. This behavior can indicate a compromised account being used to escalate privileges or establish persistence from different locations.
This rule detects and summarizes changes to domain groups (creation, deletion, or modification) by a specific user. It counts the number of such changes per user per hour, which can be indicative of administrative activity or potential malicious account manipulation.
Detects the creation of new members in the 'Domain Admins' or 'Enterprise Admins' groups by monitoring Windows Security Event ID 4728. This event indicates that a member was added to a security-enabled global group. The rule specifically looks for additions to highly privileged administrative groups, which could indicate unauthorized privilege escalation or persistence.
This rule detects a high volume of group membership changes (additions or removals) by a single user within a one-hour window. Event IDs 4728 (A member was added to a security-enabled global group), 4729 (A member was removed from a security-enabled global group), and 4730 (A member was removed from a security-enabled universal group) are monitored. A count of 5 or more such events by the same user within an hour is flagged as suspicious, potentially indicating malicious account manipulation or privilege escalation attempts.

Detects the creation of new members in the 'Domain Admins' or 'Enterprise Admins' groups by monitoring Windows Security Event ID 4728. This event indicates that a member was added to a security-enabled global group. The rule specifically looks for additions to highly privileged administrative groups, which could indicate unauthorized privilege escalation or persistence.
This rule detects a high volume of group membership changes (additions or removals) by a single user within a one-hour window. Event IDs 4728 (A member was added to a security-enabled global group), 4729 (A member was removed from a security-enabled global group), and 4730 (A member was removed from a security-enabled universal group) are monitored. A count of 5 or more such events by the same user within an hour is flagged as suspicious, potentially indicating malicious account manipulation or privilege escalation attempts.
This rule detects and summarizes changes to domain groups (creation, deletion, or modification) by a specific user. It counts the number of such changes per user per hour, which can be indicative of administrative activity or potential malicious account manipulation.
This rule detects suspicious activity related to the assignment of application roles. Specifically, it identifies when a single user principal name (UPN) performs 10 or more successful 'Add app role assignment' operations within a one-hour window. This could indicate an attacker rapidly granting themselves or other entities access to multiple applications or resources.
