Detects the creation or modification of Google Cloud Config Connector (KCC) IAM resources (IAMPolicyMember, IAMPartialPolicy, IAMPolicy) that assign high-privilege roles like 'roles/owner' or 'roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin'. This monitors for potential privilege escalation where a low-privilege actor leverages the KCC controller's high-privilege service account to perform unauthorized IAM binding changes on Google Cloud resources.
This rule detects the loading of known-vulnerable or malicious kernel drivers (BYOVD) followed by the termination of major EDR or security-related processes on the same host within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security controls to evade detection after achieving kernel-level privileges.
Detects the execution of command interpreters or scripting engines spawned by the ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus GINA client process (typically present at the Windows logon screen). This activity is highly suspicious as it indicates potential command injection or abuse of a pre-authentication component running at SYSTEM privileges.
Detects instances where the suspicious binary 'x47_bot.exe' performs process injection or hollows a process, followed by an attempt to gain or elevate privileges (such as via UAC bypass, token manipulation, or privilege checking) on the same host within a 15-minute window.

Detects the use of iam:PassRole to attach a potentially highly privileged IAM role (e.g., Administrator, PowerUser, FullAccess) to newly created or modified compute or serverless resources (EC2 instances, Lambda functions, Launch Templates, or Auto Scaling Groups). This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to escalate privileges by granting a managed resource excessive permissions that the attacker can subsequently abuse.
This rule detects potential privilege escalation exploiting a dangling COM object registration (CLSID {E9F83CF2-E0C0-4CA7-AF01-E90C70BEF496}). It monitors for a non-SYSTEM user creating a DLL within the 'CrossDevice' ProgramData folder, followed by a scheduled task trigger, and subsequently detects 'dllhost.exe' running as SYSTEM loading that specific malicious DLL, indicating successful execution of unauthorized code with elevated privileges.
Detects potential privilege escalation sequences in AWS where an identity uses 'iam:PassRole' in conjunction with resource-creation APIs (such as 'lambda:CreateFunction', 'ec2:RunInstances', or 'cloudformation:CreateStack'). This pattern is indicative of an attacker attempting to attach a higher-privileged role to a newly created resource under their control, allowing them to perform actions beyond their current scope.
Detects the attachment of the 'AdministratorAccess' managed policy or custom policies with wildcard actions and resources to AWS IAM users, roles, or groups. This activity is a critical indicator of privilege escalation, often serving as the final step in gaining full control of an AWS account by an adversary.
Detects the creation of a new AWS IAM policy version with 'SetAsDefault' enabled, specifically where the policy document contains overly permissive wildcard actions, resources, or full IAM administrative privileges. This technique allows an attacker to escalate privileges by modifying an existing policy version without updating the attachment status, effectively bypassing standard monitoring of policy attachments.

This technique allows an attacker to escalate privileges by modifying an existing policy version without updating the attachment status, effectively bypassing standard monitoring of policy attachments.
This rule detects the launch of an AWS EC2 instance that is configured with an IAM instance profile containing administrative keywords (e.g., AdministratorAccess, FullAccess) or a wildcard (*). Attackers can abuse this configuration after gaining initial access to the console or API to attach an over-privileged profile to a new instance, then pivot to the instance metadata service (IMDS) to extract these administrative credentials for persistent, broadly-scoped access.
Detects the creation of AWS Lambda functions by non-standard principals that assign an execution role with potentially broader privileges than the creator, indicative of an IAM privilege escalation technique where an attacker abuses iam:PassRole and lambda:CreateFunction to execute code under an elevated identity.
Detects the use of iam:CreatePolicyVersion and iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion API calls, which are critical IAM actions that can be abused to escalate privileges by defining a new version of an IAM policy with excessive permissions and setting it as the default.
Detects the attachment or creation of IAM policies that grant administrative access (via 'AdministratorAccess' policy name) or full wildcard permissions ('Action': '*', 'Resource': '*') to users, roles, or groups. This activity is a common indicator of privilege escalation following a cloud identity compromise, frequently observed in campaigns by threat actors such as Scattered Spider (UNC3944).
Detects anomalous GCP IAM Service Account Credential API calls where a principal impersonates multiple distinct service accounts within a short time window. This behavior often indicates a credential delegation chain or a multi-stage privilege escalation attempt within a GCP environment.
Detects potential privilege escalation in AWS where a user performs an iam:PassRole action to attach a highly privileged role (e.g., containing 'admin' or 'poweruser' in the name) to a newly created resource (Lambda, EC2 instance, or CloudFormation stack) within a short timeframe. This behavior is a known technique to gain elevated permissions by executing code within the context of a higher-privilege identity.
Detects a privilege escalation sequence where a principal uses 'PassRole' to attach an IAM role to a newly created compute resource (Lambda, EC2, or CloudFormation stack), followed shortly by that compute resource performing privileged API calls. This behavior indicates a potential attempt to gain unauthorized elevated permissions by executing actions from an over-privileged service identity.
