description:
|
|
The following analytic detects when a user disables Dependabot security features within a GitHub repository.
|
|
Dependabot helps automatically identify and fix security vulnerabilities in dependencies. The detection monitors GitHub
|
|
Enterprise logs for configuration changes that disable Dependabot functionality. This behavior could indicate an attacker
|
|
attempting to prevent the automatic detection of vulnerable dependencies, which would allow them to exploit known vulnerabilities
|
|
that would otherwise be patched. For a SOC, identifying the disabling of security features like Dependabot is critical as it may
|
|
be a precursor to supply chain attacks where attackers exploit vulnerable dependencies. The impact could be severe if vulnerabilities
|
|
remain unpatched, potentially leading to code execution, data theft, or other compromises through the software supply chain.
