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 | Electron app spawning unexpected child process | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:osquery | CREATE/MODIFY: Modification of app.asar inside .app bundle | DC0039 File Creation |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
AllowedAppBundlePaths | Baseline of legitimate Electron app paths under /Applications. |
SignedToUnsignedTransition | Alert when signed Electron parent spawns unsigned child. |
