Before It Reaches Sentinel: How Your Own Pipeline Can Silently Drop Security Evidence

How to detect Azure Monitor transformation drops before they create blind spots in your security monitoring.Every hunt, detection rule and investigation starts with one assumption: the data in your workspace shows what actually happened.But it doesn’t always. It only shows the data that made it through the pipeline.That pipeline has a filter that many security teams have never reviewed. They may not know how much data it drops or monitor it for changes. If someone changes the filter, important events may stop reaching your tables. No alert fires because the data needed to trigger it is missing. Those events were dropped before they were ever stored.The good news is that dropped data leaves clues, just not where you would normally look.This article explains where the filter lives, why it sits outside the SOC’s usual view and which signals you can monitor to catch both malicious changes and simple configuration mistakes.Understanding Data TransformationsIn Azure Monitor and Microsoft Sentinel, data does not go straight from the source into your workspace. It first passes through a Data Collection Rule (DCR).The DCR decides what data to collect, how to change it and where to send it.One part of the DCR is the transformation. This is a KQL query that runs on every record as it arrives, before the record is written to a table. Microsoft defines the order clearly the transformation runs after the source sends the data and before it reaches the destination.Transformations are useful. You can drop noisy data you do not want to pay to store, remove columns you do not need or reshape logs into a common format. Microsoft recommends them for cost control, and in normal use they make sense.Here is the part of the DCR that matters:{ "dataFlows": [ { "streams": [ "Microsoft-Syslog" ], "destinations": [ "MyWorkspace" ], "transformKql": "source | where SeverityLevel != 'info'", "outputStream": "Microsoft-Syslog" } ]}The key line is transformKql. It is a KQL query stored in the configuration and every record must pass through it.In this example, it drops informational syslog messages. That is cheap, sensible and something nobody would question.But watch what happens when one extra line is added.The one-line blind spotStart with a transformation nobody would look at twice. It drops debug logs.source | where LogLevel != "DEBUG"Add one more condition.source| where LogLevel != "DEBUG"| where SourceIP != "10.20.20.20"Every event from that IP is now gone. It is not hidden in a table you can still query and it is not moved to a cheaper storage tier. It is removed before anything is written.No detection rule can alert on it, because rules query tables and the record never reached the table.An attacker using that IP address becomes invisible. And the thing hiding them is just one line in a configuration file.A transformation can quietly remove one column that your detection depends on.In that case, the events still arrive. The row count looks normal and nothing appears missing at first glance. But the field your rule relies on is blank in every record. The detection still runs, finds nothing and reports that everything is healthy.The Blind Spot Before the SOCA normal attacker with admin rights has to take action, generate logs and then clean up afterwards. That cleanup is still an action and it leaves traces. Purging a table, changing retention or deleting records are all things a decent SOC can detect.A transformation works differently. It acts before the log is created. There is no “after” to clean up.The evidence is not deleted. It is never stored in the first place. And you cannot write a detection for the deletion of something that never reached your tables.That is why whoever controls the DCR sits above the SOC not inside it.The SOC studies the data it receives. The DCR decides which data reaches the SOC. One controls

Phishing emails are baiting your AI assistant

You ignored the suspicious email. You didn’t open the attachment, click the link, or reply to the sender.Then you asked your AI assistant to summarize your inbox.Could the message you wisely avoided find its way back onto your to-do list—only this time presented as an urgent recommendation from a tool you trust?That’s the risk behind phishing emails containing hidden instructions aimed at AI assistants. Instead of relying only on persuading you, attackers are also trying to influence the software that reads your messages. Recent research from Barracuda describes emails designed to target both audiences at once.For the human recipient, there was a password-protected attachment, with the password supplied in the email. For an AI assistant processing the message, there were hidden instructions intended to influence how it summarized or handled the content.By including a prompt injection, attackers give themselves another way to reach you. The malicious instructions could try to make the assistant describe the email as legitimate or urgent, encouraging you to revisit it.In another example, a hidden block instructed a summarizing AI to add a fake priority action: Change a vendor’s payment details. That could result in an employee sending money to an attacker’s account.The attacker isn’t simply asking the AI to repeat a fraudulent request. They’re trying to turn that request into the assistant’s recommendation.How prompt injection worksPrompt injection means planting instructions in material an AI system is supposed to read, hoping it will follow those instructions instead of treating them as part of the material. When the instructions arrive through an outside source, such as an email or webpage, it’s often called indirect prompt injection.The malicious instructions don’t have to appear as ordinary, readable paragraphs. Barracuda identified concealment techniques including comments in the email’s underlying HTML code, text made invisible through styling, encoded content, and invisible “zero-width” characters. These can obscure instructions from a person viewing the message while leaving content available for an AI system to process. Whether that content actually reaches the model depends on how the particular tool extracts and prepares the email.That means this problem cannot be solved simply by asking people to look more carefully at their emails. Part of the defense must sit inside the tools handling those messages.Apollo Raines, developer of the AI code review service ShipItClean, explains:“The real flaw is that the model can’t tell the difference between text it’s supposed to read and instructions it’s supposed to follow. Stripping hidden content before it reaches the model is worth doing, and every vendor should do it. But it’s an arms race. Each new encoding trick is a new hole.”He adds:“People have learned to distrust the email. They haven’t learned to distrust their AI assistant. So, the defense has to live inside the tools. I’d go one step further: some of it has to live inside the model itself. Wrappers, filters, sandboxing and human sign-off on payments are all necessary.”Before taking actionAn assistant that summarizes messages could mislead you about which email deserves attention or what action it requires.An assistant with additional permissions could create a more serious problem. Depending on its capabilities and safeguards, malicious instructions might try to make it carry out unauthorized actions or disclose sensitive information.You don’t need to abandon AI tools that help with email. But you do need to consider what you trust them to do and what permissions you give them.The familiar phishing advice still applies. When an assistant reads your inbox on your behalf, check its recommendations before acting:Check the original message before acting on a recommendation involving money or sensitive information. If a summary tells you to pay an invoice, change account det

Reversing embedded WebAssembly: part 2. Recovering function names from a WAMR .aot in pure C

Enroll Now and Save 10%: Coupon Code MWNEWS10 Note: Affiliate link – your enrollment helps support this platform at no extra cost to you. Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts and white hackers! In part 1 we reversed the WAMR .aot container from real bytes and wrote unaot - a tiny, dependency-free C parser that verifies the \0aot magic, walks the section table (handling the 4-byte alignment rule), and decodes TARGET_INFO so we know exactly which CPU the embedded TEXT blob is compiled for. That told us where the native code is and how to disassemble it. But a disassembly of a few hundred anonymous functions is nearly useless. What a reverse engineer actually wants is names: which blob of machine code is add, which is fib, which is the exported entry point. This part builds exactly that - a symbolized function table - by decoding two more sections, EXPORT and FUNCTION, and joining them. We will also give the tool some color so the output is readable. Still one small C file, still no libraries. the plan The information we need is split across two sections, and neither one is enough on its own: FUNCTION gives us, for every defined function, the offset into TEXT where its native code starts (and its type index). It gives us the geography - but no names. EXPORT gives us names mapped to function indices - but no offsets. The two share a key: the function index. So the whole trick of part 2 is: Decode both, join on the index, and we have a symbol table that maps every native function to a name and a precise file offset. Let’s take the sections one at a time. the EXPORT section EXPORT is the name source. Its layout (from WAMR’s aot_loader.c, load_export_section) is a count followed by that many export entries: u32 count entry[count]: u32 index (4-byte aligned) u8 kind 0=func 1=table 2=memory 3=global 4=tag str name The one part that will trip you up is how WAMR stores a string. It is not a plain C string and not a bare length-prefixed buffer. It is: u16 length (2-byte aligned) u8 bytes[length] <- the trailing '\0' IS counted in length So a name like add is stored with length = 4: the three characters a, d, d, plus a trailing NUL that is included in the count. If you print length bytes you get a stray NUL at the end; if you assume the length excludes the terminator you read one byte short on the next field and desync. We copy length bytes and then drop the last one. Here is decode_export. Note the two alignment steps - index is 4-aligned, the string length is 2-aligned - mirroring the loader’s alignment-aware reads from part 1: /* EXPORT: u32 count, then { u32 index(align4), u8 kind, string name }. * string = u16 len(align2) + len bytes (trailing '\0' counted in len). */ static void decode_export(reader_t *r, size_t body, uint32_t size) { size_t end = body + size, pos = body; uint32_t count = rd_u32_at(r, pos); pos += 4; if (r->err) { printf(" <export truncated>\n"); return; } printf(" %u export(s):\n", count); for (uint32_t i = 0; i < count; i++) { pos = align_up(pos, 4); uint32_t index = rd_u32_at(r, pos); pos += 4; uint8_t kind = rd_u8_at(r, pos); pos += 1; pos = align_up(pos, 2); uint16_t slen = rd_u16_at(r, pos); pos += 2; if (r->err || pos + slen > end) { printf(" <export %u truncated>\n", i); break; } char name[96]; size_t n = slen < sizeof(name) ? slen : sizeof(name) - 1; for (size_t j = 0; j < n; j++) name[j] = (char) rd_u8_at(r, pos + j); name[n ? n - 1 : 0] = 0; /* drop the counted trailing '\0' */ pos += slen; printf(" [%u] %-6s index=%-3u \"%s\"\n", i, export_kind_name(kind), index, name); if (kind == 0 && g_expn < MAXF) { /* remember func names for symbolization */
