description: The following analytic identifies the creation of GitHub Dependabot alerts,
which indicate potential vulnerabilities in the codebase. It detects this activity
by searching for logs with the "create" action and analyzing fields such as affected
package, severity, and fixed version. This detection is significant for a SOC because
it helps identify and address security risks in the codebase proactively. If confirmed
malicious, these vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized
access or cause breaches, leading to potential data loss or system compromise.
data_source:
- GitHub Webhooks

how_to_implement: You must index GitHub logs. You can follow the url in reference
to onboard GitHub logs.
