Description

Detects when Dependabot alerts or security updates are disabled at the repository, organization, or enterprise level in GitHub. Adversaries may turn off Dependabot to reduce the chance that a malicious or vulnerable dependency they introduced is flagged; disabling it for an organization or enterprise removes this coverage across many repositories at once.

Detection logic

Its licence does not clear it for publishing here

Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.

The rule states no platform. This is derived from the ATT&CK technique it maps to.

Known benign triggers

  • Repository admins disabling Dependabot on archival, template, or non-code repos. Confirm the change was intended and that production application repos remain covered.

Detections can measure how the public catalogue is used — which detections people look for, and which pages bring them here. It sets a cookie that recognises this browser for 180 days. It is never linked to an account and never follows you to other sites. Privacy notice
