Detects the creation of an AWS Lambda function that is assigned an excessively privileged execution role (e.g., AdministratorAccess). Attackers often leverage this technique to establish persistence or facilitate privilege escalation by creating backdoored functions that run with broad administrative permissions.
Detects anomalous process execution originating from a Python-based sandbox (such as Semantic Kernel SessionsPythonPlugin in Azure Container Apps) that attempts to break out of the container isolation. The rule monitors for command-line arguments involving interaction with the Docker socket, sensitive host namespaces, or container privilege escalation techniques, indicative of exploitation attempts related to CVE-2026-25592.
Detects cloud service principals identified as AI agents or assistants performing sensitive API operations such as IAM policy modifications or storage configuration changes. This pattern may indicate that an AI service account has been compromised or misused to perform reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or persistence, exceeding its intended scope of operation.
Detects the assignment of SeDebugPrivilege or SeImpersonatePrivilege to a non-SYSTEM account, followed by the execution of a new process from common service parents (spoolsv.exe, w3wp.exe, dllhost.exe) within the same logon session. This behavior is indicative of privilege escalation attempts using local potato-style exploits (e.g., PrintSpoofer, JuicyPotato) that leverage service tokens for impersonation.
Detects Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) activations for high-privileged roles (e.g., Global Administrator) that occur outside of defined business hours or are performed without an associated justification or ticket number. This helps identify potentially unauthorized or abnormal use of elevated privileges.
Detects the assignment of high-privileged Entra ID roles to a user account shortly after that same account underwent a password reset or MFA method change initiated by a helpdesk-privileged account. This detection pattern is specifically designed to identify Scattered Spider (UNC3944) tactics where social engineering is used to manipulate helpdesk processes to compromise identities and escalate privileges.
Detects the execution of known privilege escalation tools and the use of specific Windows privilege keywords (such as SeImpersonatePrivilege) often associated with access token manipulation and token impersonation attacks to elevate privileges to SYSTEM.
Detects when highly privileged roles (e.g., Global Administrator) are assigned to users in Entra ID, specifically flagging instances where the actor assigns the role to themselves (self-elevation) or where the target account was created within the last 7 days. This behavior deviates from standard administrative workflows and is a strong indicator of potential account compromise or malicious privilege escalation.
Detects the assignment of special, highly privileged rights (e.g., SeDebugPrivilege, SeImpersonatePrivilege) to standard user accounts using Windows Security Event ID 4672. This activity, without an associated new logon event, is a common indicator of access token manipulation or impersonation techniques (such as those used by tools like Incognito) to gain elevated system privileges.
Detects a shell launched with the privilege-preserving -p flag from a location outside the
standard binary directories - the execution step that converts a SUID-root shell copy into
an interactive root shell. Pairs directly with OS-DET-LNX-005 (see correlation
OS-DET-LNX-007). Detection logic adapted from Elastic Security Labs.

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.
A standard user who suddenly logs on with TokenHasDomainAdminSid is a red flag for potential token manipulation or group membership abuse.
Detects when a user has been elevated to manage all Azure Subscriptions.
This change should be investigated immediately if it isn't planned.
This setting could allow an attacker access to Azure subscriptions in your environment.

Detects instances where a process has been elevated on a Windows system, as indicated by specific log messages containing 'Process is elevated' within the command line or image file name fields.
Detects the execution of a shell process (sh, bash, dash, zsh) spawned as a child of Acronis backup agent or plugin processes by the root user. This behavior is indicative of potential exploitation of local privilege escalation vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2026-87886, within Acronis backup plugins for cPanel, WHM, and Plesk.
Detects several potentially malicious activities related to Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS). This includes high volumes of failed requests (potential enumeration), requests for sensitive templates (privilege escalation), and potential impersonation attempts using Subject Alternative Names (SANs). These activities are associated with AD CS abuse techniques.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' configured to run as the SYSTEM account for a one-time execution. This behavior is often associated with persistence mechanisms or privilege escalation attempts where an adversary seeks to execute malicious code in a high-privileged context.
This rule detects scenarios where a web server process or control panel utility (such as cPanel or Plesk) appears to initiate a shell process (sh, bash, dash) as the root user. This behavior is highly indicative of a compromise where an attacker has achieved command execution in an elevated context following an exploit against a web application or control panel interface.
Detects Google Workspace login activity that's classified as suspicious by Google.
Detects instances where LiteLLM, or related Python application processes (uvicorn, python), spawn a shell or command-line utility (bash, sh, id) under the root user account. This behavior is indicative of potential container breakout, application exploitation, or privilege escalation attempts originating from a web-accessible service.
Detects instances where a non-root user executes commands containing 'acronis' alongside web hosting management keywords (cpanel, whm, plesk) while the target process user is 'root'. This behavior suggests an attempt to abuse backup software or administrative management tools to escalate privileges or perform unauthorized administrative actions.
