Summary
This detection rule targets potential threats related to Single Sign-On (SSO) ticket failures within the Auth0 authentication framework. Threat actors may exploit vulnerabilities in SSO systems through tactics such as manipulating session tokens, misconfiguring identity providers, or abusing federation settings. The rule aims to detect instances of failed SSO ticket generation or consumption, which could suggest various scenarios: authentication misconfigurations, disruptions in the service, or unauthorized attempts to gain access by attackers. The detection logic is implemented via a Splunk query that filters through authentication data to capture events labeled with 'ss_sso_failure' or similar messages indicating failure in ticket processing. The log data extracted includes critical attributes such as timestamp, host, user, and geographical information which help in correlating the failed attempts back to potential malicious activity.
