FortiNDR Cloud: Moderate Severity Detection triggered for a Host

Rule ID

PH_RULE_FNDRCloud_ModerateDetectionTrigger

Default Status

Enabled

Description

FortiNDR Cloud triggered a detection for a host. The details are dependent on the FortiNDR Cloud rule detection that triggered based on traffic to or from the given host. This rule only triggers for moderate detections.

Privilege Escalation

Privilege Escalation consists of techniques that adversaries use to gain higher-level permissions on a system or network. Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities.

MITRE ATT&CK® Techniques

T1068

Exploitation for Privilege Escalation

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to collect elevate privileges. An adversary takes advantage of a programming error in a program, service, or within the operating system software or kernel itself to execute adversary-controlled code. They will likely need to perform privilege escalation to include use of software exploitation to circumvent those restrictions.

Remediation Guidance

Investigate the findings for the given rule, and determine if the detection is legitimate for the defined host. Isolate traffic to the host if the findings are both legitimate and severe, until a mitigation action can be performed.

Time Window

If the following pattern or patterns match an ingested event within the given time window in seconds, trigger an incident.

300 seconds

Trigger Conditions

If the following defined pattern/s occur within a 300 second time window.

SubPattern Definitions

SubPattern Name: detection

This is the named definition of the event query, this is important if multiple subpatterns are defined to distinguish them.

SubPattern Query

This is the query logic that matches incoming events

eventType CONTAIN "FortiNDRCloud_detections" AND eventSeverity>=5 AND eventSeverity<=8

Group by Attributes

This defines how matching events are aggregated, only events with the same matching attribute values are grouped into one unique incident ID

eventSeverityCat,categoryType,hostIpAddr,ruleName

Aggregate Constraint

This is most typically a numerical constraint that defines when the rule should trigger an incident

COUNT(*) >= 1

Incident Attribute Mapping

This section defines which fields in matching raw events should be mapped to the incident attributes in the resulting incident.

The available raw event attributes to map are limited to the group by attributes and the aggregate event constraint fields for each subpattern

ruleName=detection.ruleName,
hostIpAddr=detection.hostIpAddr,
categoryType=detection.categoryType,
ipsSeverity=detection.eventSeverityCat,
incidentCount=detection.COUNT(*)
