Summary

Populate ECS registry.path from winlog.event_data.ObjectName for Windows Security registry-related audit events:

  • 4657 (registry value modified): always mapped when ObjectName is present
  • 4656, 4658, 4660, 4661, 4662, 4663: only when winlog.event_data.ObjectType is Key, so file paths and AD/DS objects are not copied to registry.path

Packages

  • windows forwarded data stream (security_standard.yml) → 3.7.0
  • system security data stream (standard.yml) → 2.14.0

…ents

Map ECS registry.path from winlog.event_data.ObjectName for event 4657 and
for 4656/4658/4660/4661/4662/4663 when ObjectType is Key so file and AD
objects are not mapped.

Bump windows integration to 3.7.0 and system integration to 2.14.0.

…STRY\ prefix

For generic object event IDs, treat as registry when ObjectType is Key or
ObjectName starts with the NT object-manager prefix (case-insensitive).
