AN1645: Analytic 1645

The defender correlates SMS-relevant permission state or default SMS handler role with subsequent unauthorized SMS send, receive interception, message database modification, deletion, or concealment behavior by an application outside expected messaging workflows. The analytic prioritizes Android-observable control-plane effects: SEND_SMS or RECEIVE_SMS capability, default SMS handler change or exercise of SMS_DELIVER semantics, direct interaction with the SMS content provider or messaging database, and SMS activity occurring from background or locked-device state without recent user interaction.

Executive priority

AN1645: Analytic 1645 is an official MITRE ATT&CK detection analytic. 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 AN1645: Analytic 1645 by reviewing the official ATT&CK relationships, mapped tactics (the mapped ATT&CK tactic context), supported platforms (Android), and available local telemetry before making detection or mitigation decisions.

Likely telemetry

  • Official ATT&CK relationships and object metadata

Detection direction

  • Validate whether AN1645: Analytic 1645 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.

Generated from the cited source records. This long-tail analysis has not been individually reviewed by a named human.
