Supported versions

Supported Cortex XSOAR versions: 6.10.0 and later.

This playbook addresses the following alerts:

• A user executed suspicious LDAP enumeration queries

Playbook Stages:

Triage:

• Get additional event information about the LDAP searches executed by the user
• Ensure that a single client IP exists in the alert
• Get endpoint information for the client IP
• Check preconditions for continuing investigation based on the number of suspicious attributes, attack tool queries, and vulnerable certificate templates

Investigation:

• Enrich the user that executed the queries
• Check if the user was created recently
• Search for additional discovery alerts in the incident
• Check user groups and roles to determine if the user is unprivileged
• Check user querying frequency to detect anomalies
• Get host risk level
• Search for recent malware alerts on client IP

Remediation:

• With analyst approval, disable the user in Active Directory if user-related anomalies are found and the alert is a True Positive.
• With analyst approval, isolate the endpoint if host-related anomalies are found and the alert is a True Positive.
• Logoff user from client host if an active session is detected and the alert is a True Positive.
