datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: This analytic look for a spawned runas.exe process with a administrator
user option parameter. This parameter was abused by adversaries, malware author
or even red teams to gain elevated privileges in target host. This is a good hunting
query to figure out privilege escalation tactics that may used for different stages
like lateral movement but take note that administrator may use this command in purpose
so its better to see other event context before and after this analytic.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where `process_runas` AND Processes.process
= "*/user:*" AND Processes.process = "*admin*" by Processes.dest Processes.user
Processes.parent_process_name Processes.parent_process Processes.process_name Processes.process
Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `runas_execution_in_commandline_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
endpoint product.
known_false_positives: A network operator or systems administrator may utilize an
automated or manual execute this command that may generate false positives. filter
is needed.
