description: 'The following analytic identifies the usage of Exchange PowerShell modules
that were recently used for a proof of concept related to ProxyShell. Currently,
there is no active data shared or data we could re-produce relate to this part of
the ProxyShell chain of exploits. \
Inherently, the usage of the modules is not malicious, but reviewing parallel processes,
and user, of the session will assist with determining the intent. \
Module - New-MailboxExportRequest will begin the process of exporting contents of
a primary mailbox or archive to a .pst file. \
Module - New-managementroleassignment can assign a management role to a management
role group, management role assignment policy, user, or universal security group
(USG).'

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable
PowerShell Script Block Logging on some or all endpoints. Additional setup here
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UBA/5.0.4.1/GetDataIn/AddPowerShell#Configure_module_logging_for_PowerShell.
known_false_positives: Administrators or power users may use this PowerShell commandlet
for troubleshooting.
