assumerole from unfamiliar users or hosts should be investigated. if known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.	t1548 t1550 t1550.001 aws sigma
assumerole may be done by a system or network administrator. verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment.	t1548 t1550 t1550.001 aws sigma
automated processes that uses terraform may lead to false positives.	t1078 t1548 t1550 t1550.001 aws sigma
automated workflows might assume root to perform periodic administrative tasks.	t1078 t1098 t1548 aws elastic
aws administrators or automated processes might regularly assume roles for legitimate administrative purposes. aws services might assume roles to access aws resources as part of their standard operations. automated workflows might assume roles to perform periodic tasks such as data backups, updates, or deployments.	t1548 t1550 aws elastic
aws administrators or automated processes might regularly assume root for legitimate administrative purposes.	t1078 t1098 t1548 aws elastic
aws services might assume root to access aws resources as part of their standard operations.	t1078 t1098 t1548 aws elastic
blue/green deployments, instance remediation, and automation may rebind instance profiles intentionally. confirm the instance id, new `iaminstanceprofile` or `iaminstanceprofile` arn, and change records. exclude known automation roles after validation.	t1078 t1548 aws elastic
creating specific groups via the exchange online powershell module will make exchange use an actor token on your behalf. the rule excludes group operations and directory feature operations to reduce false positives from these legitimate administrative activities.	t1078 t1548 t1550 azure elastic
creation of legitimate files in sudoers.d folder as part of administrator work	t1548 t1548.003 linux sigma
custom administrative wrappers or hardened images that legitimately ship a setuid shell outside /usr/bin or /bin for emergency access may match; document and exclude by executable hash or path when verified.	t1548 linux elastic

false positives may be generated by administrators installing benign applications using run-as/elevation.	t1068 t1134 t1548 endpoint splunk
false positives should be limited as `services.exe` should never spawn a process from `admin$`. filter as needed.	t1548 endpoint splunk
false positives will be present based on many factors. tune the correlation as needed to reduce too many triggers.	t1003 t1012 t1016 t1033 t1049 t1059 t1069 t1082 t1112 t1115 t1222 t1529 t1548 t1552 endpoint splunk
false-positives (fp) can appear if another remote terminal service is being used to connect to it's listener but typically ssh is used in these scenarios.	t1095 t1548 _deprecated elastic
field mapping differences between auditd versions can occasionally mis-populate effective versus real user ids; validate raw audit fields when triaging unexpected hits.	t1548 linux elastic
getsessiontoken is widely used by legitimate automation, cli users, and administrative scripts to acquire temporary credentials. frequent, authorized usage is expected in most environments, especially where iam users authenticate with mfa or use short-lived tokens. review iam and ci/cd users, sdks, and service accounts that regularly perform this action and document them in an allowlist. suppress or tune accordingly to reduce noise.	t1078 t1548 t1550 rules_building_block elastic
getsessiontoken may be done by a system or network administrator. verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment. getsessiontoken from unfamiliar users or hosts should be investigated. if known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.	t1548 t1550 t1550.001 aws sigma
highly unusual for legitimate workflows to embed or reference full administrator access in getfederationtoken session policies; if found, it is often legacy or misconfigured tooling. confirm with the owning team and replace with least-privilege session policies. tune only after documented approval.	t1548 t1550 aws elastic
infrastructure-as-code, ci/cd, and iam administrators routinely publish new policy versions or roll back defaults. validate the policy arn, change tickets, and whether the policy document broadens permissions. exclude automation roles or pipelines after review.	t1098 t1548 aws elastic
it is rare for the telnetd to spawn login process with these arguments.	t1548 endpoint splunk

legitimate af_alg usage from unprivileged users is uncommon, but some kernel crypto tests, ipsec helpers, disk encryption tooling, hsm integrations, or approved security research systems may exercise this interface. verify the process, user, and host role before adding an exception.	t1068 t1548 linux elastic

legitimate iam administrators may attach customer-managed policies to roles for various reasons, such as granting temporary permissions or updating existing policies. ensure that the user attaching the policy is authorized to do so and that the action is expected.	t1098 t1548 aws elastic

this rule could generate false positives if the process arguments leveraged by the exploit are shared by custom scripts using the sudo or sudoedit binaries. only sudo versions 1.8.2 through 1.8.31p2 and 1.9.0 through 1.9.5p1 are affected; if those versions are not present on the endpoint, this could be a false positive.	t1068 t1548 cross-platform elastic
