name: Azure AD User ImmutableId Attribute Updated

|
description: The following analytic identifies the modification of the SourceAnchor
|
|
(ImmutableId) attribute for an Azure Active Directory user. This detection leverages
|
|
Azure AD audit logs, specifically monitoring the "Update user" operation and changes
|
|
to the SourceAnchor attribute. This activity is significant as it is a step in setting
|
|
up an Azure AD identity federation backdoor, allowing an adversary to establish
|
|
persistence. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could impersonate any user, bypassing
|
|
password and MFA requirements, leading to unauthorized access and potential data
|
|
breaches.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Azure Active Directory Update user
|
|
search: ' `azure_monitor_aad` operationName="Update user" properties.targetResources{}.modifiedProperties{}.displayName=SourceAnchor
|
|
| rename properties.* as * | rename initiatedBy.user.userPrincipalName as initiatedBy
|
|
| rename targetResources{}.modifiedProperties{}.newValue as modifiedProperties |
|
|
stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime values(user) as user
|
|
values(modifiedProperties) as modifiedProperties by initiatedBy, src_ip, result,
|
|
operationName | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
|
|
| `azure_ad_user_immutableid_attribute_updated_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: You must install the latest version of Splunk Add-on for Microsoft
|
|
Cloud Services from Splunkbase(https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3110/#/details).
|
|
You must be ingesting Azure Active Directory events into your Splunk environment.
|
|
This analytic was written to be used with the azure:monitor:aad sourcetype leveraging
|
|
the AuditLog log category.
|
|
known_false_positives: The SourceAnchor (also called ImmutableId) Azure AD attribute
|
|
has legitimate uses for directory synchronization. Investigate and filter as needed.
