### Investigating Entra ID Device-Bound PRT Replay via First-Party App from Unusual IP

Adversaries who steal a WAM PRT SSO cookie (BrowserCore / InteractiveToken harvest) redeem it off-box for Microsoft Graph, SharePoint/OneDrive, or Exchange Online using a first-party FOCI client. PRTremote uses Azure CLI (`04b07795-8ddb-461a-bbee-02f9e1bf7b46`); TokenTactics and AADInternals can use Azure AD PowerShell (`1b730954-1685-4b74-9bfd-dac224a7b894`) or Microsoft Office (`d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c`) when refreshing a PRT into a Graph, Outlook, or SharePoint token. This rule keys on CLI / PowerShell / VS Code / Visual Studio, not Teams, Office, OneDrive SyncEngine, Authentication Broker, Outlook Mobile, Bing, or Azure Portal — those clients routinely egress on a different IP than Windows Sign-In. Hunt Office-client PRT separately if harvest is already confirmed. The issued access token carries the *workstation* `deviceid`, so Conditional Access policies that require a compliant device can succeed even though the redeeming IP is not the device. Replay events must be `is_compliant` or `is_managed` so the join tracks a stolen enrolled workstation PRT, not an unmanaged ROADtx device.

This is not ConsentFix / OAuth-code phishing. Those flows show `OAuth2:Authorize` with `Redirect` and often lack a bound compliant device on the Graph token. Do not close this alert by following the first-party OAuth phishing playbook alone.


### Possible investigation steps

- Review `azure.signinlogs.properties.user_principal_name`, `azure.signinlogs.properties.device_detail.device_id`, and `source.ip`. Confirm `incoming_token_type` on the replay events is `primaryRefreshToken` and `device_detail.is_compliant` / `is_managed` are true. `Esql.resource_display_name_values` should be Microsoft Graph, Office 365 SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and/or Office 365 Exchange Online.
- Treat `Esql.source_ip_device_values` as the workstation (Windows Sign-In / `Windows-AzureAD-Authentication-Provider/1.0`) — the device the PRT was bound to, and the likely theft origin. Treat `source.ip` / `Esql.source_ip_replay_values` as Graph / SharePoint / Exchange PRT IPs that are not in that device-session set (the replay actor). On-box FOCI from the workstation IP is excluded from the replay set. The harvest emulation showed workstation public IP versus attacker SNAT — including Azure ASN 8075, so a Microsoft-owned ASN does not clear the alert. The stolen PRT cookie nonce is typically valid for about five minutes; that is the attacker’s redeem window, not this rule’s lookback. The workstation may have signed in hours earlier, so the query correlates 24 hours of Windows Sign-In / WAM IPs with the replay.
- Inspect `Esql.app_display_name_values` and `Esql.user_agent_original_values`. A cookie POST through WAM can show a Trident/MSIE user agent on the Azure CLI client ID; that is the same IE stack legitimate Windows `az login` uses when it brokers through WAM, so it is triage context, not a detection key. TokenTactics Graph refresh commonly presents as Microsoft Office (omitted here). A follow-on `python-requests/*` Graph token from the same session is tooling, not the first-party binary on the workstation.
- Hunt endpoint telemetry for the same user or `device_detail.display_name` as `host.name`: `svchost.exe` (Schedule) → `cmd.exe` → `BrowserCore.exe` with `<` / `>` redirection, or files `formatted_nonce.txt` / `prt_cookie.txt`.
- Intune audit (`create-clientcertificate`) is enrollment context only; it will not fire on the harvest. Use it as optional join on user OID, not as coverage.
- Review Graph, SharePoint, and mailbox activity after the replay for directory, file, or mail enumeration.

### False positive analysis

- Developers who run Azure CLI, Graph CLI, or VS Code from a different egress than Windows Sign-In while WAM still attaches the workstation deviceid. Exception known Cloud Shell / jump-host IPs after confirming the client actually ran there.
- Microsoft Teams, Office, OneDrive SyncEngine, Authentication Broker, Outlook Mobile, Bing, Azure Portal, and Office 365 Management Graph PRT are excluded. Do not treat their absence as a miss; they are omitted because split-tunnel M365 egress is routine.
- First sign-in of a new device can have sparse Windows Sign-In history in the 24-hour window; widen the hunt before responding.
- Hybrid-joined workstations that report both `is_compliant` and `is_managed` as false (no Intune) will not match the replay branch. Hunt those deviceids separately if harvest is already confirmed.

### Response and remediation

- Contact the user to confirm whether they ran the first-party client in `Esql.app_display_name_values` from the replay IP.
- If unauthorized, revoke refresh tokens and primary refresh tokens for the user. The deviceid on the token is often the *legitimate* workstation — do not delete that device as if it were a ROADtx registration until you confirm otherwise.
- Isolate the workstation, hunt for InteractiveToken scheduled tasks and BrowserCore harvest, and treat the admin identity that registered the task as a second compromised principal.

) and not coalesce(Esql.is_prt_replay, false)

The device-session set doubles as an IP allowlist, and user_agent.original is attacker-controlled. Replaying the cookie with User-Agent: Windows-AzureAD-Authentication-Provider/1.0 makes the event match both is_device_session and is_prt_replay, so the attacker IP lands in source_ip_device_values and the final mv_contains filters it out. One header and the rule never fires. Moving the replay eval first and gating the device-session eval on it closes that, while keeping the on-box exclusion, since a real workstation still populates the device set from its genuine Windows Sign In event.
