Download CSV| 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 |
