What it detects

This rule detects Salesforce API activity authenticated through an OAuth refresh token attributed to the Klue Battlecards connected application, the abused integration in this supply chain attack. The compromised app reused refresh tokens to authenticate as an external application and pull data without interactive login. Refresh token driven access from this connected app should be scrutinized for unauthorized data access.
