Stay informed of any changes for a specific CAPEC.
Description
An adversary manipulates a setting or parameter on communications channel in order to compromise its security. This can result in information exposure, insertion/removal of information from the communications stream, and/or potentially system compromise.
Informations
Prerequisites
The target application must leverage an open communications channel.The channel on which the target communicates must be vulnerable to interception (e.g., adversary in the middle attack - CAPEC-94).
Resources Required
A tool that is capable of viewing network traffic and generating custom inputs to be used in the attack.Mitigations
Encrypt all sensitive communications using properly-configured cryptography.Design the communication system such that it associates proper authentication/authorization with each channel/message.
