Rule ID | Rule Name | Description | Severity | Platform |
---|---|---|---|---|
CGN-SecurityGraph-116 | A virtual machine having high privileges and access to a sensitive database has communicated with a malicious IP | This highly privileged virtual machine (VM) has communicated with a malicious IP address, while having access to a database containing sensitive data. This combination creates a critical security risk that demands immediate action to prevent a data breach. | critical | aws |
CGN-SecurityGraph-119 | Publicly exposed virtual machine with critical vulnerability and high privileges has access to sensitive database | This publicly exposed virtual machine has a critical vulnerability and high privileges, granting access to a sensitive database. The combination of external accessibility and elevated privileges makes it a prime target for exploitation, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data. Immediate action is needed to mitigate the risk of a data breach. | critical | aws |
CGN-SecurityGraph-120 | Critical severity malware was detected on a virtual machine with sensitive database access | This virtual machine (VM) is infected with critical malware has access to sensitive database. The malware associated with such a hacking tool, or suite of tools, is known to have highly adverse impact. This combination poses a significant security risk, so it is crucial to address and fix this issue promptly to prevent a potential data breach. | high | aws |
CGN-SecurityGraph-121 | A virtual machine with a highly privileged IAM role and third party access is vulnerable to a critical CVE | This virtual machine (VM) with a high-privilege IAM role and a critical CVE can be exploited for unauthorized cloud access. Third party access increases the risk of credential theft and service disruption. Attackers may escalate privileges, exfiltrate data, or move laterally. | critical | aws,azure |
CGN-SecurityGraph-122 | A virtual machine (VM) has high permissions is detected with suspicious CNC communication | This virtual machine has elevated permissions making it a high-value target for attackers. It is also suspected of communicating with a malicious Command and Control (CNC) server which could lead to data exfiltration, privilege escalation, or malware deployment. | critical | aws,azure |
