CHAIN-160 — Event Hub with Capture to public-access storage

Summary

Severity: Medium · Likelihood: Medium · Logic: ALL

Why this chain matters

Event Hub Capture writes every stream event to a storage account that has public blob access enabled. A downstream compliance leak: sensitive event data intended for a VNet-only datalake ends up readable over the internet.

Component rules

This chain fires when its trigger conditions are met by the following rules. Click any rule to see its detection logic and compliance mappings.

Attack walkthrough

Step 1 — Capture writes to container with allowBlobPublicAccess=true.

Actor: Misconfig
MITRE ATT&CK: T1213
Enabled by: zt_int_005

Attacker gain: Capture output publicly readable.

Step 2 — Enumerate and download capture blobs; historical event stream exposed.

Actor: Attacker
MITRE ATT&CK: T1530
Enabled by: zt_data_001

Attacker gain: Historical stream content.

Blast radius

Initial access Anon internet.
Max privilege Read on capture output.
Data at risk Every historical event
Services at risk Event Hub + downstream analytics

How the logic works

The chain fires only when every rule above has at least one finding in the current scan. Missing any one rule breaks the chain — so remediating any single step disrupts the attack path.
