What Changed

Contrast ADR CCF connector schema enhanced with three new fields in the attack event table to provide deeper attack context and improved forensic capabilities.

Security Impact (Visibility & Fidelity)

The schema enhancement adds critical application security context that was previously unavailable:

New Fields Added:

  • codeLocation (dynamic): Captures file path, method name, and stack trace where attack was detected within application code
  • vectorAnalysis (dynamic): Provides call location and vector field analysis for attack pattern identification
  • request_parameters (dynamic): Expands HTTP request context beyond existing query string and body capture

Data Fidelity Improvement: Previously deployed Contrast ADR connectors could not capture code-level attack attribution or advanced vector analysis. Queries referencing these fields against older connector versions returned null - this update resolves that data gap for new deployments.

Transform Logic Updates: The DCR transformKql was updated to parse and extract the new JSON fields into normalized columns, including:

  • vectorAnalysis_callLocation and vectorAnalysis_vectorFields
  • codeLocation_file, codeLocation_method, and codeLocation_stack
  • request_parameters for enhanced HTTP request analysis

This change improves attack attribution capabilities by providing precise code-level context for security events, enabling more effective root cause analysis and vulnerability remediation.
