  • AWS EKS Access Entry Modified source medium: Detects successful Amazon EKS Access Entries API operations that create, update, attach, detach, or delete authentication mappings between IAM principals and the cluster. Changes to access entries alter who can authenticate to Kubernetes and what Kubernetes-level permissions they receive, without requiring edits to in-cluster RBAC objects. Unexpected callers or timing may indicate persistence or privilege abuse.

  • AWS EKS Access Entry Granted Cluster Admin Policy source high: Detects when the AmazonEKSClusterAdminPolicy or AmazonEKSAdminPolicy is associated with a principal via the EKS Access Entries API. This grants full cluster-admin equivalent access to the specified IAM user or role. Unlike the legacy aws-auth ConfigMap which is only visible in Kubernetes audit logs, Access Entries modifications appear in CloudTrail, providing an additional detection surface. Attackers who have obtained IAM permissions to manage EKS access entries can use this API to backdoor cluster access for persistence, mapping attacker-controlled IAM identities to cluster-admin privileges without modifying any Kubernetes resources.T1098, T1098.006

  • AWS EKS Access Entry Modified source medium: Detects successful Amazon EKS Access Entries API operations that create, update, attach, detach, or delete authentication mappings between IAM principals and the cluster. Changes to access entries alter who can authenticate to Kubernetes and what Kubernetes-level permissions they receive, without requiring edits to in-cluster RBAC objects. Unexpected callers or timing may indicate persistence or privilege abuse. Common automation identities (service-linked roles, eksctl, Terraform, CloudFormation role patterns) are excluded to reduce noise; tune further for your deployment pipelines.T1098, T1098.006↳ also matches AssociateAccessPolicy, CreateAccessEntry, DeleteAccessEntry, DisassociateAccessPolicy

AccessKubernetesApi

#
Service
eks

Description

AccessKubernetesApi recorded by CloudTrail for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. Observed in real CloudTrail; no AWS SDK operation model documents it, so no description is available from the SDK.

Example CloudTrail Event #

This is a projected export row, not a complete CloudTrail record: it shows only the envelope columns a SIEM export retained. The export never carried userIdentity, requestParameters, responseElements, sourceIPAddress, recipientAccountId, eventCategory, so their absence here says nothing about the real event. Account identifiers, ARNs and endpoint hostnames in eventID, requestID, resources, tlsDetails, userAgent are replaced with the placeholders AWS uses in its own documentation, so those values are structurally real but not the originals. errorMessage is withheld: it is free-form prose that names customer resources, which no substitution rule can find reliably. eventTime is withheld because the export renders it in the exporting system's local timezone rather than the UTC a CloudTrail record carries.
