Github Push Protection Disabled

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
The rule detects instances where the push protection feature in GitHub is disabled for an organization, enterprise, repositories, or designated custom pattern rules. This feature is critical for safeguarding sensitive information (such as API keys, passwords, and other secrets) from being inadvertently pushed to public or private repositories, which could lead to serious security breaches. The detection logic specifically looks for actions indicating the disabling of this functionality, utilizing a set of predefined event actions from GitHub's audit logs. Given the increasing threats related to credential exposures, the focus here is to maintain vigilant observation and ensure push protection settings are appropriately configured to prevent potential leaks. This rule addresses key activities around push protection statuses, highlighting when they are altered or turned off, providing security teams with necessary alerts to investigate further and take appropriate remedial actions if needed.
