Detection workspace for T1552 Unsecured Credentials: 12 Sigma sources, 1 Atlas concepts and 1 anomaly models. No live detection validation.
MATCH(file_content_or_path_matches_credential_pattern) OR MATCH(secret_retrieval BY unauthorized_identity) -> ALERTComparison unit: identity-secret relationship.
Expected behavior: stable identities access specific secret sets.
Deviation: new edge, peer-group deviation, or sudden access burst.
Unusual access to bash history, registry credentials paths, or private key files by unauthorized or scripting tools, with correlated file and process activity.
Reading of sensitive files like .bash_history, /etc/shadow, or private key directories by unauthorized users or unusual processes.
Unusual access to ~/Library/Keychains, ~/.bash_history, or Terminal command history by unauthorized processes or users.
Unusual web-based access or API scraping of password managers, single sign-on sessions, or credential sync services via browser automation or anomalous API tokens.
Unauthorized API or console calls to retrieve or reset password credentials, download key material, or modify SSO settings.
Access to container image layers or mounted secrets (e.g., Docker secrets) by processes not tied to entrypoint or orchestration context.
Use of configuration backup utilities or CLI access to dump plaintext passwords, local user hashes, or SNMP strings.
These are explicit actor-to-technique associations in the existing Threat Matrix snapshot, not attribution of an event or proof that a detector identifies the actor. No tool-to-actor relationship is inferred.
Curated research views reached through an exact source technique, a catalog model, or a reviewed collection reference. These are navigation associations, not claims of detector effectiveness or sensor equivalence.
