A User Role with Sensitive Permissions has been Created

Panther Rules

View Source
Summary
The detection rule 'Panther.Sensitive.Role' identifies the creation of user roles with sensitive permissions in the Panther security platform. It focuses on capturing instances where a user role is created that affords administrative-level privileges. The rule is triggered by log entries such as 'CREATE_USER_ROLE', where new roles with specific permissions like 'GeneralSettingsModify' or 'GeneralSettingsRead' are logged. Furthermore, it differentiates between expected (admin role created) and unexpected events to ensure only authorized roles are authorized. Additional configurations such as IP address checks and user verification contribute to the rule's integrity, as the associated attributes are logged accordingly. The rule also includes a runbook for remediation, recommending contact with the role creator to confirm the legitimacy of the action and prevent unauthorized access.
