MITRE CAPEC attack pattern
| Status | Stable |
| Typical severity | High |
| Likelihood of attack | Medium |
| Catalogue | CAPEC 3.9 (2023-01-24) |
Description
An adversary uses their privileged position within an authorized development organization to inject malicious logic into a codebase or product.
Where this sits in the chain
A finding maps to a weakness (CWE), a weakness is exploited by an attack pattern (CAPEC), and an attack pattern shows up in ATT&CK as observed adversary behaviour. This page is the middle hop.
ATT&CK techniques: T1195.002, T1195.003
Prerequisites
- Access to the product during the initial or continuous development.
Consequences
- Authorization: Execute Unauthorized Commands
Mitigations
- Assess software and hardware during development and prior to deployment to ensure that it functions as intended and without any malicious functionality. This includes both initial development, as well as updates propagated to the product after deployment.
