Identifies suspicious access to an LSASS handle via DuplicateHandle from an unknown call trace module. This may indicate an attempt to bypass the NtOpenProcess API to evade detection and dump LSASS memory for credential access.

Detection Logic

process where host.os.type == "windows" and event.code == "10" and

 /* LSASS requesting DuplicateHandle access right to another process */
 process.name : "lsass.exe" and winlog.event_data.GrantedAccess == "0x40" and

 /* call is coming from an unknown executable region */
 winlog.event_data.CallTrace : "*UNKNOWN*"
