Type Name Severity Module Data source / event ATT&CK
Analytics BIOC A rare DLL, signed by an uncommon vendor, was hijacked into a Microsoft process A signed DLL was loaded into a Microsoft-signed process. This DLL hash and signature vendor are rare, which might indicate an attacker performing DLL hijacking. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC A WMI subscriber was created A WMI subscriber was created. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Persistence, Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Access to sensitive host files from within a Kubernetes pod A process accessed sensitive host files inside a Kubernetes pod, indicating a potential container escape or privilege escalation attempt. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Privilege Escalation
BIOC Bypassing Windows UAC using sysprep Attackers may use the sysprep.exe built-in Windows tools to bypass Windows UAC. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
BIOC Command enumeration via sudo The 'sudo -l' command was executed to enumerate commands that can be executed by a user. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Creation or modification of the default command executed when opening an application Creation or modification of these registry keys can cause the execution of the specified programs, bypassing UAC. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Privilege Escalation
BIOC Discovery of files with setgid or setuid bits Attackers may try to locate files with setgid or setuid bits set to escalate privileges. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Kubelet server communication from a pod The Kubelet server was accessed from within a pod, which may indicate an attempt to escape container boundaries or escalate privileges. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation, Discovery
Analytics BIOC Kubernetes nsenter container escape The nsenter command was used to execute a process in the context of the initialization process. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation
BIOC Manipulation of MMC Registry configuration Creation or modification of these Microsoft Management Console related entries can cause the execution of the specified programs, bypassing UAC. Informational Platform Analytics Registry Privilege Escalation
BIOC Modifying ELF file capabilities via setcap An attacker may attempt to gain privileges by setting the capabilities of a file. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Possible DLL Hijack into a Microsoft process An unsigned DLL was loaded into a Microsoft signed process. This DLL name is usually signed by Microsoft, which might indicate an attacker performing DLL Hijacking. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion
BIOC PsExec runs with System privileges PsExec.exe is a Windows administrative tool, it can be used to elevate privileges and run other processes with NT/System privilege level. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC PsExec was executed with a suspicious command line PsExec.exe was executed. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution, Privilege Escalation
BIOC Security Support Provider (SSP) registered via a registry key Security Support Provider (SSP) exposes a number of callbacks to be invoked during certain authentication and authorization events. An attacker may register SSP to try and gain access to clear text passwords. Informational Platform Analytics Registry Privilege Escalation
BIOC Setuid on file Setting user identification on an executable file causes it to run with the privileges of the owning user. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
BIOC Shim database file access An attacker may install a malicious SDB (shim database) file on disk for privilege escalation and persistence. Informational Platform Analytics File Persistence, Privilege Escalation
BIOC Sudoers discovery Attackers may enumerate the sudoers file or use the 'sudo -l' command to discover user privileges. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Discovery, Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Suspicious process executed with a high integrity level A suspicious process was spawned with a High or System integrity level, which is higher than its parent process. This may indicate malicious privilege escalation. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Suspicious process execution in a privileged container A process was executed in a privileged Kubernetes Pod for the first time in the past 30 days. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution, Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Unsigned DLL Hijack into a Microsoft process An unsigned DLL was loaded into a Microsoft signed process. It is not common for the DLL to be loaded into Microsoft processes, which might indicate an attacker performing DLL Hijacking. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC Unsigned DLL Side-Loading A signed process loaded an unsigned and rare module from the same folder. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion
BIOC Unusual process spawned by changepk.exe Attackers may use the changepk.exe built-in Windows tool to bypass UAC using an unusual initiator. Informational Platform Analytics Process execution Privilege Escalation
