RulenameSuspicious application consent similar to O365 Attack Toolkit
DescriptionThis will alert when a user consents to provide a previously-unknown Azure application with the same OAuth permissions used by the MDSec O365 Attack Toolkit (https://github.com/mdsecactivebreach/o365-attack-toolkit).

The default permissions/scope for the MDSec O365 Attack toolkit change sometimes but often include contacts.read, user.read, mail.read, notes.read.all, mailboxsettings.readwrite, files.readwrite.all, mail.send, files.read, and files.read.all.

Consent to applications with these permissions should be rare, especially as the knownApplications list is expanded, especially as the knownApplications list is expanded. Public contributions to expand this filter are welcome!
