Compromise Software Supply Chain

Where this stands

No Sigma rule can address this — the telemetry MITRE names has no Sigma logsource behind it.

Sigma has no logsource taxonomy for mobile platforms. MITRE's telemetry here is mobile EDR and device APIs, which no Sigma rule can address.

What the technique is

Adversaries may manipulate application software prior to receipt by a final consumer for the purpose of data or system compromise. Supply chain compromise of software can take place in a number of ways, including manipulation of the application source code, manipulation of the update/distribution mechanism for that software, or replacing compiled releases with a modified version.

What MITRE says you would watch

  • AN1853

    The defender correlates the arrival, installation, or update of a trusted or expected application with a subsequent deviation in package trust characteristics, permission posture, protected-resource use, framework behavior, or network communication that is inconsistent with the known-good role of that app. The strongest Android evidence is a managed or trusted package whose first-run or post-update behavior introduces unexpected special access, sensitive sensor use, unusual background execution, privileged framework interaction, or outbound communication to destinations outside the app's baseline shortly after installation or update.

  • AN1854

    Anchor on supervised managed-app install/update or version drift, then correlate with unexpected background activity, managed-app state changes, or egress inconsistent with the app's historical and policy baseline.
