Hello how are you I am GitHub bot
😀😀
I see that you changed templates under the detections/analytic rules folder. Did you remember to update the version of the templates you changed?
If not, and if you want customers to be aware that a new version of this template is available, please update the version property of the template you changed.

Bump the Threat Intelligence (NEW) solution and template metadata to 3.0.20, including the packaged output. Also update the URLEntity AuditLogs analytic rule to 1.2.11 and refine its URL extraction and lowercase normalization so URL IoC matches in AuditLogs are more reliable.
