Detectors
Every Cortex detection rule the toolbox knows about — analytics alerts, BIOCs and correlation rules — in one filterable set.
18 detectors match the current filters.
Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics BIOC | A machine certificate was issued with a mismatch A machine certificate was issued with a mismatch between the requester and the subject. | Medium | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | A suspicious process queried AD CS objects via LDAP A suspicious process queried AD CS objects via LDAP. | Informational | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Discovery, Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | A user certificate was issued with a mismatch A certificate was issued to a user who was not the requester, this may indicate a certificate manipulation. | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | A user created a pfx file for the first time A user created a pfx file for the first time. | Informational | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | A user modified the CA audit policy A user modified the CA audit policy. This may indicate that an attacker is attempting to cover their tracks before an AD CS attack. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | A user queried AD CS objects via LDAP A user queried AD CS objects via LDAP. | Informational | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Discovery, Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Deletion of AD CS certificate database entries A user has deleted rows from the certificate database of an AD CS server. | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Discovery of misconfigured certificate templates using LDAP An LDAP query searching for misconfigured certificate templates was executed. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Discovery |
| Analytics BIOC | Key credential attribute modification A user modified the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute for an account, which may indicate a shadow credentials attack. | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | LDAP AD CS Enumeration via Attack Tool A user sent a suspicious AD CS enumeration query via LDAP. The query is associated with an AD CS LDAP enumeration tool that may be used during attacks against the organization. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Discovery, Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | PKINIT TGT authentication request A Kerberos TGT was requested using PKINIT. This may indicate an attack on Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS), such as shadow credential exploitation or certificate-based authentication abuse. | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement, Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | PowerShell pfx certificate extraction PowerShell was used to extract a pfx certificate file. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Privileged certificate request via certificate template A privileged certificate was requested via certificate template. | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious account attribute modification that matches that of another account Suspicious account attribute modification that matches that of another account. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious certificate template modification A certificate template was updated with a possible misconfiguration. This may indicate the exploitation of misconfigured certificate template access control (ESC4). | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Unusual CertLog Remote File Write A remote host wrote to a certificate log file via RPC over SMB, which may indicate the use of an AD CS attack tool like Certipy. This behavior is commonly associated with certificate-based authentication attacks. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | User set insecure CA registry setting for global SANs A user enabled the EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2 registry flag, allowing custom Subject Alternative Names (SANs) to be specified on all certificate templates. This could enable attackers to bypass security controls by requesting certificates with user-defined SANs. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Vulnerable certificate template loaded A possible misconfigured certificate template was loaded by Certificate Services. This may indicate potential certificate template abuse. | Informational | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
