This rule detects when any user disables the Dependabot security feature within a GitHub repository, which can signify malicious intent, such as attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities. Dependabot is crucial for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities in code dependencies automatically. By monitoring GitHub Enterprise audit logs for repository configuration changes, this analytic can provide insight into potential security breaches. If Dependabot is disabled, it could indicate preparations for a supply chain attack where attackers limit vulnerability detection capabilities, leading to potential severe impacts including code execution, data theft, or other security breaches. Effective monitoring of this activity allows security operations centers (SOCs) to preemptively address potential exploits by identifying the disabling of essential security controls.
