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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=11 | DC0039 File Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=2 | DC0061 File Modification |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=15 | DC0059 File Metadata |
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4663, 4670, 4656 | DC0055 File Access |
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 |
|---|---|
MonitoredFilePaths | List of critical data directories or files; environment-specific tuning required. |
TimeWindow | Threshold for correlating process execution with rapid data changes. |
AuthorizedProcesses | Expected processes permitted to modify business-critical data. |

| CVE-2021-31207 | Microsoft Exchange Server | Mapped |
| CVE-2025-24993 | Microsoft Windows | Mapped |
