Description
An attacker manipulates files or settings external to a target application which affect the behavior of that application. For example, many applications use external configuration files and libraries - modification of these entities or otherwise affecting the application's ability to use them would constitute a configuration/environment manipulation attack.
Informations
Prerequisites
The target application must consult external files or configuration controls to control its execution. All but the very simplest applications meet this requirement.Resources Required
The attacker must have the access necessary to affect the files or other environment items the targeted application uses for its operations.Faiblesses connexes
