The rule titled "O365 Privileged Graph API Permission Assigned" is designed to detect the assignment of critical permissions within the Azure Active Directory (AD) related to Graph API. It specifically targets the assignment of permissions such as Application.ReadWrite.All, AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All, and RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory, using data sourced from the O365 Unified Audit Log. The detection is based on Azure AD workload events, focusing on the 'Update application' operation within the logs. This rule is important because these permissions enable extensive control over Azure AD, and if assigned maliciously, could result in harmful misuse including unauthorized data modifications and privilege escalation. Immediate investigation is urged if such assignments are detected, as they pose a significant risk to security.
