Aws Anomalous Secrets Manager Batch Retrieval
Description
AWS CloudTrail events generated by an AWS identity making a successful Secrets Manager BatchGetSecretValue API call. This API allows multiple secret values to be retrieved in a single request and may be used by an attacker with compromised AWS credentials to collect application credentials, API tokens, database passwords, and other sensitive material while generating fewer CloudTrail events than repeated GetSecretValue requests. Sensitive account, access-key, identity, network, secret, and region values were replaced with synthetic values.
