CAPEC-544Counterfeit OrganizationsAn adversary creates a false front organizations with the appearance of a legitimate supplier in the critical life cycle path that then injects corrupted/malic…
CAPEC-545Pull Data from System ResourcesAn adversary who is authorized or has the ability to search known system resources, does so with the intention of gathering useful information. System resource…
CAPEC-546Incomplete Data Deletion in a Multi-Tenant EnvironmentAn adversary obtains unauthorized information due to insecure or incomplete data deletion in a multi-tenant environment. If a cloud provider fails to completel…
CAPEC-547Physical Destruction of Device or ComponentAn adversary conducts a physical attack a device or component, destroying it such that it no longer functions as intended. Metadata: standard CAPEC pattern, s…
CAPEC-548Contaminate ResourceAn adversary contaminates organizational information systems (including devices and networks) by causing them to handle information of a classification/sensiti…
CAPEC-549Local Execution of CodeAn adversary installs and executes malicious code on the target system in an effort to achieve a negative technical impact. Examples include rootkits, ransomwa…
CAPEC-55Rainbow Table Password CrackingAn attacker gets access to the database table where hashes of passwords are stored. They then use a rainbow table of pre-computed hash chains to attempt to loo…
CAPEC-550Install New ServiceWhen an operating system starts, it also starts programs called services or daemons. Adversaries may install a new service which will be executed at startup (o…
CAPEC-551Modify Existing ServiceWhen an operating system starts, it also starts programs called services or daemons. Modifying existing services may break existing services or may enable serv…
CAPEC-552Install Rootkit An adversary exploits a weakness in authentication to install malware that alters the functionality and information provide by targeted operating system API ca…
CAPEC-554Functionality BypassAn adversary attacks a system by bypassing some or all functionality intended to protect it. Often, a system user will think that protection is in place, but t…
CAPEC-555Remote Services with Stolen CredentialsThis pattern of attack involves an adversary that uses stolen credentials to leverage remote services such as RDP, telnet, SSH, and VNC to log into a system. O…
CAPEC-556Replace File Extension HandlersWhen a file is opened, its file handler is checked to determine which program opens the file. File handlers are configuration properties of many operating syst…
CAPEC-557DEPRECATED: Schedule Software To RunThis CAPEC has been deprecated because it is not directly related to a weakness, social engineering, supply chains, or a physical-based attack. Metadata: deta…
