Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Lifting Data Embedded in Client Distributions
    An attacker can resort to stealing data embedded in client distributions or client code in order to gain certain information. This information can reveal confidential contents, such as account numbers, or can be used as an intermediate step in a larger attack (such as by stealing keys/credentials).

    descriptionSeveral remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, an application to administrate MySQL over the WWW. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2008-1924 Attackers with CREATE table permissions were allowed to read arbitrary files readable by the webserver via a crafted HTTP POST request. - CVE-2008-1567 The PHP session data file stored the username and password of a logged in user, which in some setups can be read by a local user. - CVE-2008-1149 Cross site scripting and SQL injection were possible by attackers that had permission to create cookies in the same cookie domain as phpMyAdmin runs in.
