Slack SSO restriction changed

ID:slack_sso_settings_modified
Data type:Slack
Severity:
Low
MITRE ATT&CK:TA0003:T1556.006

Description

AlphaSOC detected changes to Slack single sign-on (SSO) restrictions. SSO enables users to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials, typically managed through a central identity provider. This modification may indicate attempts to bypass authentication controls or modify trusted identity providers used for Slack workspace access.

Impact

Changes to SSO configurations can allow unauthorized access to Slack workspaces, bypassing standard authentication requirements. Threat actors can gain persistent access to sensitive communications, files, and channels while evading detection through legitimate authentication flows.
