This behavior is significant as it may indicate an adversary probing for MFA requirements or attempting to bypass MFA. If confirmed malicious, it suggests a compromised account, potentially leading to further exploitation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. Early detection is crucial to prevent substantial harm.
This analytic identifies when a self-hosted runner is created in GitHub Enterprise. The detection monitors GitHub Enterprise audit logs for actions related to creating new self-hosted runners at the organization or enterprise level. This behavior warrants monitoring because self-hosted runners execute workflow jobs on customer-controlled infrastructure, which could be exploited by attackers to execute malicious code, access sensitive data, or pivot to other systems. While self-hosted runners are a legitimate feature, their creation should be carefully controlled as compromised runners pose significant security risks. The impact includes potential remote code execution, data exfiltration, and lateral movement within the environment if a runner is compromised. SOC teams should investigate unexpected runner creation events to verify they are authorized and properly secured, especially if created by unfamiliar users or in unusual contexts.
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 analytic detects suspicious behavior indicative of ProxyShell exploitation against on-premise Microsoft Exchange servers. It identifies HTTP POST requests to `autodiscover.json` containing `PowerShell` in the URI, leveraging server-side request forgery (SSRF) to access backend PowerShell. Monitoring this activity is crucial as it may indicate an attacker attempting to execute commands or scripts on the Exchange server. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or persistent control over the Exchange environment.
This analytic detects suspicious Kerberos Service Ticket (TGS) requests where the requesting account name matches the service name. This behavior is indicative of an exploitation attempt of CVE-2021-42278 and CVE-2021-42287, often referred to as sAMAccountName spoofing. The detection leverages Windows Event ID 4769 from Domain Controllers. Such activity is significant as it may represent an adversary attempting to escalate privileges by impersonating a domain controller, which could lead to complete domain compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
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.
The following analytic detects updates to the SAML provider in AWS. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify the `UpdateSAMLProvider` event, analyzing fields such as `sAMLProviderArn`, `sourceIPAddress`, and `userIdentity` details. Monitoring updates to the SAML provider is crucial as it may indicate a perimeter compromise of federated credentials or unauthorized backdoor access set by an attacker. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to manipulate identity federation, potentially leading to unauthorized access to cloud resources and sensitive data.
This analytic identifies user accounts experiencing an excessive number of lockouts within a short timeframe. It leverages the 'Change' data model, specifically focusing on events where the result indicates a lockout. This activity is significant as it may indicate a brute-force attack or misconfiguration, both of which require immediate attention. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to account compromise, unauthorized access, and potential lateral movement within the network.
This analytic detects SSL certificates with Punycode domains in the SSL issuer email domain, identified by the prefix "xn--". It leverages the Certificates Datamodel to flag these domains and uses CyberChef for decoding. This activity is significant as Punycode can be used for domain spoofing and phishing attacks. If confirmed malicious, attackers could deceive users and systems, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data breaches.
This analytic identifies a successful authentication event against an Azure AD tenant using PowerShell cmdlets. This detection leverages Azure AD SignInLogs to identify successful logins where the appDisplayName is "Microsoft Azure PowerShell." This activity is significant because it is uncommon for regular, non-administrative users to authenticate using PowerShell, and it may indicate enumeration and discovery techniques by an attacker. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to perform extensive reconnaissance, potentially leading to privilege escalation or further exploitation within the Azure environment.
This analytic detects endpoints that generate a high number of account lockouts within a short timeframe. It analyzes Windows security event logs, specifically the `Change` datamodel's `Account_Management` node, to count lockout events. This activity can indicate a brute-force attack or a misconfigured system causing repeated authentication failures. If malicious, it could lead to denial of service through account lockouts or signal an ongoing attempt to compromise user credentials.
The following analytic detects attempts to exploit the CVE-2023-46747 vulnerability, an authentication bypass flaw in F5 BIG-IP's Configuration utility (TMUI). It identifies this activity by monitoring for specific URI paths such as "*/mgmt/tm/auth/user/*" with the PATCH method and a 200 status code. This behavior is significant for a SOC as it indicates potential unauthorized access attempts, leading to remote code execution. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, steal data, disrupt systems, or conduct further malicious activities within the network.
The analytic identifies potential malware activities within a network that are blocked by Zscaler. It leverages web proxy logs to filter for blocked actions associated with malware, aggregating occurrences by user, URL, and threat category. This detection is significant for SOC as it highlights attempts to access malicious content, indicating potential compromise or targeted attacks. If confirmed malicious, this activity could signify an ongoing attempt to infiltrate the network, necessitating immediate investigation to prevent further threats and ensure network integrity.
