Identifies potential session hijacking or token replay in Microsoft Entra ID. This rule detects cases where a user signs in and subsequently accesses Microsoft Graph from a different IP address using the same session ID. This may indicate a successful OAuth phishing attack, session hijacking, or token replay attack, where an adversary has stolen a session cookie or refresh/access token and is impersonating the user from an alternate host or location.

Identifies potential enumeration or password spraying activity using TeamFiltration tool. TeamFiltration is an open-source enumeration, password spraying and exfiltration tool designed for Entra ID and Microsoft 365. Adversaries are known to use TeamFiltration in-the-wild to enumerate users, groups, and roles, as well as to perform password spraying attacks against Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 accounts. This rule detects the use of TeamFiltration by monitoring for specific user-agent strings associated with the tool in Azure and Microsoft 365 logs.

Identifies rare occurrences of OAuth workflow for a user principal that is single factor authenticated, with an OAuth scope containing user_impersonation for a token issued by Entra ID. Adversaries may use this scope to gain unauthorized access to user accounts, particularly when the sign-in session status is unbound, indicating that the session is not associated with a specific device or session. This behavior is indicative of potential account compromise or unauthorized access attempts. This rule flags when this pattern is detected for a user principal that has not been seen in the last 10 days, indicating potential abuse or unusual activity.

Detects unusual resource owner password credential (ROPC) login attempts by a user principal in Microsoft Entra ID. ROPC is a legacy authentication flow that allows applications to obtain tokens by directly providing user credentials. This method is less secure and can be exploited by adversaries to gain access to user accounts without requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA), especially during enumeration or password spraying. This is a New Terms rule that identifies when user principals are involved in ROPC login attempts, not seen before in the last 10 days, indicating potential abuse or unusual activity.

Identifies when a user signs in with a refresh token using the Microsoft Authentication Broker (MAB) client, followed by a Primary Refresh Token (PRT) sign-in from the same device within 1 hour. This pattern may indicate that an attacker has successfully registered a device using ROADtx and transitioned from short-term token access to long-term persistent access via PRTs. Excluding access to the Device Registration Service (DRS) ensures the PRT is being used beyond registration, often to access Microsoft 365 resources like Outlook or SharePoint.

Detects suspicious OAuth 2.0 token requests where the Microsoft Authentication Broker (29d9ed98-a469-4536-ade2-f981bc1d605e) requests access to the Device Registration Service (01cb2876-7ebd-4aa4-9cc9-d28bd4d359a9) on behalf of a user principal. The presence of the adrs_access scope in the authentication processing details suggests an attempt to access ADRS, which is atypical for standard user sign-ins. This behavior may reflect an effort to abuse device registration for unauthorized persistence, such as acquiring a Primary Refresh Token (PRT) or establishing a trusted session.

Identifies when a Microsoft Entra ID user signs in from a device that is not typically used by the user, which may indicate potential compromise or unauthorized access attempts. This rule detects unusual sign-in activity by comparing the device used for the sign-in against the user's typical device usage patterns. Adversaries may create and register a new device to obtain a Primary Refresh Token (PRT) and maintain persistent access.

Identifies potential enumeration activity using AzureHound, SharpHound, or BloodHound across Microsoft cloud services. These tools are often used by red teamers and adversaries to map users, groups, roles, applications, and access relationships within Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Microsoft 365.

Identifies high risk Microsoft Entra ID sign-ins by leveraging Microsoft's Identity Protection machine learning and heuristics. Identity Protection categorizes risk into three tiers: low, medium, and high. While Microsoft does not provide specific details about how risk is calculated, each level brings higher confidence that the user or sign-in is compromised.

This rule detects non-interactive authentication activity against SharePoint Online (Office 365 SharePoint Online) by a user principal via the Microsoft Authentication Broker application. The session leverages a refresh token or Primary Refresh Token (PRT) without interactive sign-in, often used in OAuth phishing or token replay scenarios.

Detects potentially suspicious OAuth authorization activity in Microsoft Entra ID where the Visual Studio Code first-party application (client_id = aebc6443-996d-45c2-90f0-388ff96faa56) is used to request access to Microsoft Graph resources. While this client ID is legitimately used by Visual Studio Code, threat actors have been observed abusing it in phishing campaigns to make OAuth requests appear trustworthy. These attacks rely on redirect URIs such as VSCode's Insiders redirect location, prompting victims to return an OAuth authorization code that can be exchanged for access tokens. This rule may help identify unauthorized use of the VS Code OAuth flow as part of social engineering or credential phishing activity.

Identifies rare instances of authentication requirements for Azure Entra ID principal users. An adversary with stolen credentials may attempt to authenticate with unusual authentication requirements, which is a rare event and may indicate an attempt to bypass conditional access policies (CAP) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements. The authentication requirements specified may not be commonly used by the user based on their historical sign-in activity.
