IDTitleDescription
CCC.AUDITLOG.TH01Insufficient Audit LogsIf security critical audit events are not logged then it increases the difficulty to detect threats and perform post incident analysis.
CCC.AUDITLOG.TH02Log Ingestion LatencyLarge spikes or sustained delays in log ingestion may degrade the timeliness and completeness of security telemetry. This can increase the time required to detect and investigate threats, potentially impacting incident response effectiveness.
CCC.AUDITLOG.TH03Sensitive Data LoggedSensitive information such as passwords, environment variables, or personally identifiable information (PII) may be included in audit logs due to a number of reasons such as; end user human error, developers not sanitizing fields or maliciously by a threat actor attempting to exfil data. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure if logs are accessed by unintended parties or forwarded to external systems.
CCC.AUDITLOG.TH04Insufficient encoding of audit logsUser-supplied data such as scripts, control characters, escape sequences, or code fragments may be written to audit logs without proper encoding or sanitization. This can result in malformed or unexpected log entries that could disrupt or compromise systems that process or display these logs, including log viewers or downstream services.
CCC.AUDITLOG.TH05Logging Evasion via violating size constraintsAn attacker can evade detection by intentionally crafting input that violates the size constraints of a clouds audit logging mechanism. Many systems impose a maximum size limit on individual log entries. By performing an action with oversized data such as whitespace or Unicode injection, the resulting log event, which often includes the offending data, exceeds this limit, which often is redacted in the audit logs.
