Okta publishes open-source detection rules for Auth0
Briefly

The Customer Detection Catalog provides ready-to-use Sigma rules hosted on GitHub to expand Auth0 monitoring without custom detection development. Rules cover scenarios from unusual user behavior and misconfigurations to SMS bombardments, malicious admin account creation, and token theft. Sigma enables translation of rules into many SIEM and log analysis query languages, increasing applicability. Each detection includes metadata, threat descriptions, and recommended next steps for rapid analyst interpretation. Deployment requires converting rules with tools like sigma-cli, testing on historical logs to reduce false positives, and periodic updates. External contributors can submit or improve rules via pull requests.
Until now, customers had to rely on their own scripts or the standard capabilities in the Auth0 Security Center. According to BleepingComputer, the new catalog is intended to speed up that process and make threats visible sooner. It covers a wide range of scenarios, from flagging unusual user behavior to detecting misconfigurations. Specific attacks, such as SMS bombardments, the creation of malicious administrator accounts, and token theft, are also covered.
The rules are written in Sigma, a generic description language for detections that can be easily translated into the query language of various SIEM and log analysis platforms. This makes the catalog widely applicable. Each detection contains additional metadata, such as a description of the threat and recommendations for next steps, so that analysts can immediately interpret the signals. Using the catalog requires a few practical steps.
Users download the repository from GitHub, convert the Sigma rules to the format supported by their SIEM using a tool such as sigma-cli, and import the queries into their own monitoring workflow. By first testing the rules on historical logs, filters can be refined and false positives reduced. Only then is production deployment recommended. Regularly retrieving updates from the repository is necessary, as new detections are constantly being added.
