Summary
The rule 'GitHub User Role Updated' is designed to monitor changes in GitHub user roles within an organization, specifically focusing on detecting when a user's role is elevated to an admin or reduced to a member. By analyzing logs tagged as 'GitHub.Audit', this rule can identify significant changes that may indicate account manipulation or potential security threats, particularly in cases where a user gains administrative privileges without proper oversight. The rule aims to enhance security posture by ensuring users are appropriately monitored when their roles change, as improper role assignments can lead to unauthorized access to organizational resources. The rule has a high severity level due to the potential impact of administrative privileges on organization security. Testing scenarios validate its effectiveness by comparing expected results against actual log actions related to user role changes within a specified GitHub organization repository.
