Confluence page restrictions bypassed with an admin key
Description
AlphaSOC detected that Confluence page restrictions were bypassed using an admin key. Admin keys are special authentication tokens that grant system administrators elevated access to content, including pages they haven't been explicitly granted permission to view through standard access controls.
Impact
This activity could enable unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in restricted Confluence pages, potentially leading to data exposure, unauthorized modifications, or reconnaissance for further attacks within the organization's infrastructure.
Severity
| Severity | Condition |

Informational | Confluence page restrictions bypassed with an admin key |
Investigation and Remediation
Review Confluence audit logs to identify all actions performed using the admin key, including accessed pages and the source IP addresses involved. If the actions were unauthorized, immediately reset all potentially compromised credentials. Conduct a thorough review of all restricted pages that were accessed to assess potential data exposure.
