Detects users accessing, downloading, or copying a high volume of document files (>100 unique files) across multiple SharePoint sites (>1) within a single hour, excluding legitimate OneDrive sync client activity. The rule targets file types commonly associated with sensitive business data — Office documents, PDFs, archives, databases, email exports (PST/OST/MSG), and OneNote notebooks — and aggregates by user and hour to surface bulk collection patterns consistent with insider data theft, account compromise, or pre-exfiltration staging by ransomware affiliates
This rule detects instances where a SharePoint or OneDrive file/folder is shared with a guest user whose email address is identified as a threat intelligence indicator. This could indicate an attempt to exfiltrate data to a known malicious entity or an account compromise being used for data staging.
This rule detects attempts to exploit CVE-2024-30043, a vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint's SPXmlDataSource. The detection is based on the presence of specific content in HTTP response bodies, including '<!DOCTYPE', '<SharePoint:SPXmlDataSource', and 'DataFile="', combined with a PCRE regex matching file or SMB paths, indicating an attempt to fetch data via XML External Entity (XXE) injection.
This rule detects suspicious bulk file downloads from SharePoint by correlating successful sign-in events with subsequent file download activities. It specifically looks for sign-ins that are not from registered devices, followed by multiple file downloads (at least 3) within a short time window (up to 10 minutes) from the same IP address. The rule flags scenarios where a user downloads a significant number of unique files (at least 2) or has a high download count (5 or more), or a combination of moderate downloads (3 or more) within a very short duration (1 minute). This pattern can indicate data exfiltration attempts.
This rule detects the execution of common command and scripting interpreters (cmd.exe, cscript.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, powershell_ise.exe, wmic.exe, wscript.exe) when their parent process is either w3wp.exe or svchost.exe, and the command arguments contain keywords related to SharePoint. This behavior can indicate suspicious activity within a SharePoint environment, potentially related to web shell execution, privilege escalation, or data exfiltration.
This rule detects the creation of a suspicious file named 'spinstall0.aspx' or similar in a specific SharePoint template directory, which is indicative of a potential compromise related to CVE-2025-49704, CVE-2025-49706, or CVE-2025-53770. Additionally, it identifies network connections to known malicious IP addresses associated with these vulnerabilities.
This rule detects the creation of specific files named 'spinstall0' within the SharePoint Web Server Extensions template layouts directory. This activity could indicate an attempt to install or modify SharePoint components, potentially for malicious purposes or unauthorized changes.

This query helps hunting for Automated email notifications and suspicious sign-in activity
This analytic identifies when Office 365 users search for suspicious keywords or have an excessive number of queries to a SharePoint site within a limited timeframe. This behavior may indicate that a malicious actor has gained control of a user account and is conducting discovery or enumeration activities.
This rule detects API requests to the Microsoft Graph search/query endpoint. This endpoint can be used by adversaries to enumerate items such as SharePoint site URLs, which is a common technique used by tools like GraphRunner's Get-SharePointSiteURLs function. The detection specifically looks for successful POST requests to 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query'.
Detects when Microsoft Cloud App Security reports that an OAuth application has downloaded multiple files from Microsoft SharePoint or Microsoft OneDrive in a manner that is unusual for the user. This activity could indicate unauthorized data exfiltration by a compromised or malicious OAuth app.
