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:endpointsecurity | ES_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_EXEC | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | subsystem: com.apple.WebKit or com.apple.WebKit.Networking | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
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 |
|---|---|
ScriptEngines | Scriptable binaries such as osascript, jsc, JavaScriptCore – may vary by OS version |
UserContext | Restrict to non-system users or only specific login sessions |
EmbeddedContentIndicators | SVGs embedded inside PDFs or HTML with script-based triggers |
