description: The following analytic identifies IAM users attempting to update or modify
|
|
AWS Lambda code via the AWS CLI. It leverages CloudTrail logs to detect successful
|
|
`UpdateFunctionCode` events initiated by IAM users. This activity is significant
|
|
as it may indicate an attempt to gain persistence, further access, or plant backdoors
|
|
within your AWS environment. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could upload and
|
|
execute malicious code automatically when the Lambda function is triggered, potentially
|
|
compromising the integrity and security of your AWS infrastructure.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- AWS CloudTrail
|
|
search: '`cloudtrail` eventSource=lambda.amazonaws.com eventName=UpdateFunctionCode* errorCode = success user_type=IAMUser
|
|
| rename user_name as user
|
|
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by signature dest user user_agent src vendor_account vendor_region vendor_product
|
|
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` |`aws_lambda_updatefunctioncode_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: You must install Splunk AWS Add on and enable Cloudtrail logs in
|
|
your AWS Environment.
|
|
known_false_positives: While this search has no known false positives, it is possible
|
|
that an AWS admin or an autorized IAM user has updated the lambda fuction code legitimately.
