description: This search looks for AWS CloudTrail events where a user is making successful
|
|
API calls to view/update/delete the existing password policy in an AWS organization.
|
|
It is unlikely for a regular user to conduct this operation. These events may potentially
|
|
be malicious, adversaries often use this information to gain more understanding
|
|
of the password defenses in place and exploit them to increase their attack surface
|
|
when a user account is compromised.
|
|
data_source: []
|
|
search: '`cloudtrail` eventName IN ("UpdateAccountPasswordPolicy","GetAccountPasswordPolicy","DeleteAccountPasswordPolicy")
|
|
errorCode=success | stats count values(eventName) as eventName values(userAgent)
|
|
min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by eventSource aws_account_id errorCode awsRegion
|
|
userIdentity.principalId user_arn src_ip | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` |
|
|
`security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `aws_password_policy_changes_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: You must install Splunk AWS Add on and Splunk App for AWS. This
|
|
search works with AWS CloudTrail logs.
|
|
known_false_positives: While this search has no known false positives, it is possible
|
|
that an AWS admin has legitimately triggered an AWS audit tool activity which may
|
|
trigger this event.
