DC0094: Group Modification

Changes made to a group, such as membership, name, or permissions (ex: Windows EID 4728 or 4732, AWS IAM UpdateGroup). Examples:

- Active Directory: - Event ID 4728: Member added to a global group. - Event ID 4732: Member added to a local group. - Azure AD: `Set-AzureADGroup -ObjectId -DisplayName "New Name"` - AWS IAM: `aws iam update-group --group-name --new-path "/admin/"` - Google Workspace: Modify permissions via Admin SDK API: `PATCH https://admin.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/groups/` - Office 365: Modify groups via Graph API: `PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/`

*Data Collection Measures:*

- Directory Logging: - Windows: Log EIDs 4728 (add), 4729 (remove). - Azure AD: Enable "Audit logs." - Google Workspace: Enable Admin Activity logs. - Office 365: Use Unified Audit Logs. - Cloud Monitoring: - AWS: Log `UpdateGroup`, `AttachGroupPolicy`, `RemoveUserFromGroup`. - Azure: Track modifications via Audit logs. - API Monitoring: Log Google Admin SDK and Microsoft Graph API calls. - SIEM Integration: Centralize and monitor group modification logs.

Executive priority

DC0094: Group Modification is an official MITRE ATT&CK data component. Glexia treats it as defensive behavior context for prioritizing monitoring, control validation, and response planning without using the object by itself as an attribution claim.

Technical view

Security teams should validate DC0094: Group Modification by reviewing the official ATT&CK relationships, mapped tactics (the mapped ATT&CK tactic context), supported platforms (the platforms named in the official object), and available local telemetry before making detection or mitigation decisions.

Likely telemetry

  • Official ATT&CK relationships and object metadata

Detection direction

  • Validate whether DC0094: Group Modification appears in your detection coverage and tabletop scenarios.
  • Use the object to align executive risk language with SOC, incident response, and detection engineering work.
  • Do not treat ATT&CK relationship context as attribution without corroborating evidence.

Mitigation priorities

  • Map the object to existing controls and identify missing telemetry or response ownership.
  • Prioritize mitigations that reduce exposure on the listed platforms and tactics.
  • Review adjacent ATT&CK relationships before changing policy, detections, or reporting language.
Additional notes and limits

Baseline Glexia take generated from the official MITRE ATT&CK STIX object, source hash, tactics, platforms, and detection fields. It is safe to replace with a richer model-generated take for the same source hash later.

This baseline take is source-grounded and schema-validated, but it does not include environment-specific telemetry, incident evidence, or threat-intelligence corroboration.
