The analytic identifies authentication events of service principals in Azure Active Directory. It leverages the `azure_monitor_aad` data source, specifically targeting "Sign-in activity" within ServicePrincipalSignInLogs. This detection gathers details such as sign-in frequency, timing, source IPs, and accessed resources. Monitoring these events is significant for SOC teams to distinguish between normal application authentication and potential anomalies, which could indicate compromised credentials or malicious activities. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain unauthorized access to resources, leading to data breaches or further exploitation within the environment.
The analytic detects an Azure AD user enabling a previously disabled account and resetting its password within 2 minutes. This activity is significant because it may indicate an adversary with administrative access attempting to establish a backdoor identity within the Azure AD tenant. If confirmed malicious, this could allow the attacker to maintain persistent access, escalate privileges, and potentially exfiltrate sensitive information from the environment.
The analytic identifies a spike in the number of AWS Security Hub alerts for an AWS IAM User within a 4-hour interval. It leverages AWS Security Hub findings data, calculating the average and standard deviation of alerts to detect significant deviations. This activity is significant as a sudden increase in alerts for a specific user may indicate suspicious behavior or a potential security incident. If confirmed malicious, this could signify an ongoing attack, unauthorized access, or misuse of IAM credentials, potentially leading to data breaches or further exploitation.
The following analytic detects the creation of open/public S3 buckets via the AWS CLI. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify events where a user has set bucket permissions to allow access to "AuthenticatedUsers" or "AllUsers." This activity is significant because open S3 buckets can expose sensitive data to unauthorized users, leading to data breaches. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to potentially sensitive information stored in the S3 bucket, posing a significant security risk.
The following analytic identifies a spike in the number of AWS Security Hub alerts for an EC2 instance within a 4-hour interval. It leverages AWS Security Hub findings data, calculating the average and standard deviation of alerts to detect anomalies. This activity is significant for a SOC as a sudden increase in alerts may indicate potential security incidents or misconfigurations requiring immediate attention. If confirmed malicious, this could signify an ongoing attack, leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or disruption of services on the affected EC2 instance.
The analytic detects the addition of an application role assignment grant to a user in Office 365. It leverages data from the `o365_management_activity` dataset, specifically monitoring the "Add app role assignment grant to user" operation. This activity is significant as it can indicate unauthorized privilege escalation or the assignment of sensitive roles to users. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to gain elevated permissions, potentially leading to unauthorized access to critical resources and data within the Office 365 environment.
The analytic identifies when a user with sufficient access to the O365 Security & Compliance portal uses premium investigation features (Threat Explorer) to directly view email. Adversaries may exploit privileged access with this premium feature to enumerate or exfiltrate sensitive data.
The analytic identifies high-risk activities within repositories by correlating repository data with risk scores. It leverages risk events from the Dev Sec Ops analytic stories, summing risk scores and capturing source and user information. The detection focuses on high-risk scores above 100 and sources with more than three occurrences. This activity is significant as it highlights repositories frequently targeted by threats, providing insights into potential vulnerabilities. If confirmed malicious, attackers could exploit these repositories, leading to data breaches or infrastructure compromise.
This analytic detects attempts to exploit the ConnectWise ScreenConnect CVE-2024-1708 vulnerability, which allows path traversal attacks by manipulating file_path and file_name parameters in the URL. It leverages the Endpoint datamodel Filesystem node to identify suspicious file system events, specifically targeting paths and filenames associated with ScreenConnect. This activity is significant as it can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files and directories, potentially resulting in data exfiltration or arbitrary code execution. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain unauthorized access and control over the host system, posing a severe security risk.
The analytic identifies instances of `control.exe` loading a `.cpl` or `.inf` file from a world-writable directory (e.g., `appdata`, `windows\temp`, `programdata`). This activity is often associated with attempts to exploit vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-40444, which could lead to unauthorized code execution and system compromise. The detection leverages process names and command-line executions from EDR agents.
