Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| macos:unifiedlog | Process execution of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint with macro execution attempts | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Detection of altered _VBA_PROJECT or PerformanceCache streams | DC0059 File Metadata |
Mutable elements

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
OfficeVersionScope | Adjust for specific Office versions in use across macOS endpoints. |
