T1213.002 Sharepoint
Sub-technique of: T1213
High-Level Description
Adversaries may leverage the SharePoint repository as a source to mine valuable information. SharePoint will often contain useful information for an adversary to learn about the structure and functionality of the internal network and systems. For example, the following is a list of example information that may hold potential value to an adversary and may also be found on SharePoint:
- Policies, procedures, and standards
- Physical / logical network diagrams
- System architecture diagrams
- Technical system documentation
- Testing / development credentials (i.e., Unsecured Credentials)
- Work / project schedules
- Source code snippets
- Links to network shares and other internal resources
Kill Chain Phase
Platforms: Windows, Office Suite
What to Check
How to Test
Manual Testing
-
Identify Attack Surface: Determine if the target environment is susceptible to Sharepoint by examining the target platforms (Windows, Office Suite).
-
Assess Existing Defenses: Review whether mitigations for T1213.002 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.
-
Execute Test: Use tools and methods described in the MITRE ATT&CK page and external references below.
Note: No Atomic Red Team tests available for this technique. See Atomic Red Team GitHub for updates.
