Detects an authentication pattern characteristic of credential compromise, consisting of a burst of failed authentication attempts against an account within a short window, followed immediately by a successful sign-in from an anomalous or new device/location. This pattern is indicative of brute-force or credential spraying followed by successful validation and potential lateral movement.
Detects MFA-fatigue style attacks (push-bombing) against Microsoft 365 accounts. The rule identifies a pattern where a user experiences a high frequency of MFA challenges or denials (at least 5 within a 10-minute window) immediately followed by a successful sign-in from a previously unseen IP and device, excluding phishing-resistant authentication methods and break-glass accounts.
This rule hunts for indicators associated with the TrustSink technique, which involves using rogue External Authentication Methods (EAM) or malicious OIDC providers to bypass authentication or maintain persistence within a cloud environment. It monitors Azure AD sign-in and audit logs, alongside DNS and network events, for references to known malicious domains and URLs used for EAM-based attacks.
Detects the assignment of highly privileged OAuth scopes or application roles to service principals or users within Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). This activity is often associated with consent phishing or token abuse, where an adversary attempts to gain long-term programmatic access to sensitive resources like email, files, or directory services using a malicious or compromised application.
Detects the multi-stage Microsoft cloud identity compromise chain reported by Microsoft Security Research (September 2026): a victim completes a successful Entra ID device-code sign-in (often induced by passkey-themed device-code phishing), the same identity's authentication/security info is registered or changed (MFA/passkey persistence) within 60 minutes (deduplicated to the earliest such event per sign-in), followed within 120 minutes by a burst of at least 25 successful, delegated-context Microsoft Graph API calls (Scopes claim populated, i.e. user-delegated permissions rather than pure application/client-credential access) spanning at least 3 distinct resource paths, exhibiting reconnaissance (>=5 requests against /users, /groups, /directoryRoles, /roleManagement, /applications, /servicePrincipals, /organization) and/or collection (>=10 requests against /messages, /mailFolders, /attachments, /drive, /drives, /sites, /lists, /search) patterns. Restricting to delegated (Scopes-bearing) Graph calls and requiring resource-path breadth removes the two largest false-positive sources: service-principal/application-only automation jobs (Roles-only tokens) and single-endpoint polling tools. Pure behavioral correlation across SigninLogs, AuditLogs, and MicrosoftGraphActivityLogs - no static IOCs. Flags whether Graph activity originated from an IP different from the original device-code sign-in IP as a strong pivot/session-reuse indicator.
Detects credential-phishing attempts originating from Proton Mail addresses that result in a user clicking on a link. The rule correlates email delivery from known Proton Mail domains with subsequent URL click events to identify potential Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) activity, often associated with the Star Blizzard (COLDRIVER) threat group.
Detects a multi-stage phishing pattern attributed to Star Blizzard (also known as Callisto Group or COLDRIVER). The attack involves an initial email containing no attachments to establish trust or initiate a thread, followed by a subsequent reply-thread email containing both an archive file (ZIP/RAR) and an image file. This technique is designed to bypass email security scanners by hiding the archive password within the image attachment or obscuring the malicious payload context.
Detects a burst of file access or download operations from SharePoint or OneDrive by a single user account within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of bulk data collection or exfiltration, often associated with post-credential-theft activity where an attacker stage and extract organizational data.
This rule performs a retrospective sweep across Microsoft Defender XDR data sources (DeviceFileEvents, DeviceProcessEvents, DeviceNetworkEvents, and EmailEvents) to identify activity associated with the Star Blizzard (COLDRIVER) campaign. It monitors for specific file hashes, file names, known C2 IP addresses and domains, malicious URL patterns, and known phishing email sender addresses identified in threat intelligence reporting.
This rule performs a retrospective sweep across Microsoft Defender XDR data sources (DeviceFileEvents, DeviceProcessEvents, DeviceNetworkEvents, and EmailEvents) to identify activity associated with the Star Blizzard (COLDRIVER) campaign. It monitors for specific file hashes, file names, known C2 IP addresses and domains, malicious URL patterns, and known phishing email sender addresses identified in threat intelligence reporting.
This rule monitors inbound emails for sender domains or embedded URLs that contain strings related to popular AI service brands (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude). It flags these occurrences when the domain does not match the official, legitimate domains for those services, indicating potential phishing or brand impersonation attempts.
Detects instances where a user account consents to an OAuth application requesting high-privilege or sensitive scopes such as Mail.Read, Files.ReadWrite.All, or offline_access. This behavior is a common indicator of consent phishing attacks, where adversaries trick users into granting persistent access to their cloud resources via malicious OAuth applications.
Detects account modification activity (e.g., password resets or MFA registration changes) followed within 24 hours by a sign-in event for the same user account that is flagged as risky or exhibits anomalous device/location characteristics, indicative of social engineering campaigns like Scattered Spider.
This rule detects incoming phishing emails that use specific financial or payment-related lures (e.g., 'eft wire transfer', 'invoice receipt') in the subject line or body to entice users into clicking a link that points directly to an executable file, often disguised as a document.
Detects a suspicious sequence where a user completes a device-code authentication flow followed shortly by consenting to high-risk OAuth permissions. This pattern is characteristic of consent phishing and device-code phishing attacks, where an attacker leverages these methods to gain persistent access to a user's cloud resources via malicious application tokens.
Detects spoofed emails carrying a .patch attachment sent to a GitLab incoming-email merge-request address. Requires Microsoft's composite authentication verdict (CompAuth: fail) -- a lower-noise spoofing signal than raw SPF/DKIM/DMARC -- and excludes sender/recipient pairs already seen corresponding with that token address in the prior 30 days to suppress recurring legitimate contributors.
Detects the granting of elevated mailbox permissions (FullAccess, SendAs, SendOnBehalf, or broad folder access) by an OAuth application or service principal. This behavior is indicative of a compromise where an actor uses an App-only context to establish persistence and stage internal spearphishing, bypassing standard administrative monitoring controls.
This rule monitors Entra ID (Azure AD) SAML sign-in events and correlates them with on-premises Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) audit logs. It specifically looks for indicators of forged SAML tokens, including sign-in events without a corresponding upstream authentication, SAML tokens with excessively long lifetimes, or authentication activity following a recent update to the AD FS token-signing certificate, which is a hallmark of the Golden SAML technique.
Detects unauthorized changes to the token-signing certificate for federated domains in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). This behavior is often associated with the Golden SAML attack technique, where an adversary modifies federation settings to forge authentication tokens. The rule filters for events occurring outside of standard business hours and alerts when the modification is not performed by known automation service accounts.
This rule detects when an OAuth application is granted sensitive Exchange Online permissions, such as 'full_access_as_app', 'Mail.Read', 'Mail.ReadWrite', or 'Mail.Send'. Granting these permissions allows an application to access mailboxes across the tenant without requiring a signed-in user context, which is a common persistence and data exfiltration technique used in Business Email Compromise (BEC) and espionage campaigns.
Detects modifications to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) cross-tenant access settings where a new partner is added or inbound trust settings (such as MFA or device compliance) are enabled for an external tenant. This activity may indicate an attempt to establish a persistent backdoor or facilitate initial access into the environment via a compromised or malicious external identity provider.
