Exfiltration to Code Repository

Exfiltration
TLP:CLEAR

Description

Adversaries may exfiltrate data to a code repository rather than over their primary command and control channel. Code repositories are often accessible via an API (ex: https://api.github.com). Access to these APIs are often over HTTPS, which gives the adversary an additional level of protection. Exfiltration to a code repository can also provide a significant amount of cover to the adversary if it is a popular service already used by hosts within the network.

MITRE ATT&CK Detection Strategies

DET0318 Detection Strategy for Exfiltration to Code Repository
AN0897 macOS

Office or scripting applications initiating unusual HTTPS traffic to code repository APIs with high outbound-to-inbound ratios. Defender perspective: monitor for sensitive file access in combination with network connections to github.com, gitlab.com, or bitbucket.org.

macos:unifiedlog macos:unifiedlog macos:unifiedlog
AN0895 Windows

Processes such as PowerShell, Git, or curl initiating outbound HTTPS POST requests to known code repository APIs (e.g., github.com, gitlab.com) immediately following large file reads. Defender view: correlation between file access of sensitive directories (e.g., Documents, Finance) and abnormal data uploads to repository domains.

WinEventLog:Security WinEventLog:Sysmon WinEventLog:Sysmon
AN0896 Linux

Processes like git, curl, or python scripts executing commands that package files (tar, gzip) followed by HTTPS uploads to code repository endpoints. Defender view: detect unusual git push activity or scripted HTTPS requests outside normal developer work hours.
