Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    descriptionAccording to its banner, the version of Apple TV on the remote device is prior to 10.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists in WebKit when handling the location attribute that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the cross-origin policies and disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-4613) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the FontParser component when handling specially crafted font files that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-4660) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the metadata of photo directories. (CVE-2016-4664) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the metadata of audio recordings. (CVE-2016-4665) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in Webkit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4666, CVE-2016-4677, CVE-2016-7578) - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the System Boot component, within MIG generated code, due to improper validation of input. A local attacker can exploit these to terminate the system or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-4669) - A memory corruption issue exists in the CoreGraphics component when handling specially crafted JPEG files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4673) - An unspecified logic issue exists in libxpc that allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2016-4675) - A flaw exists in libarchive due to improper path validation when creating temporary files during archive extraction. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a symlink attack, to overwrite arbitrary files. (CVE-2016-4679) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Kernel component due to improper sanitization of input. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose kernel memory contents. (CVE-2016-4680) - An overflow condition exists in the FontParser component due to improper validation when parsing font files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4688) - A flaw exists in the CFNetwork Proxies component when handling proxy credentials that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-7579) - A flaw exists in the AppleMobileFileIntegrity component due to improper validation of code signatures. A local attacker can exploit this to have a signed executable substitute code with the same team ID. (CVE-2016-7584) - Multiple race conditions exist in various IOKit drivers related to how they use task struct pointers. A local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. (CVE-2016-7613) Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities.

    descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is 10.10.5 but is missing Security Update 2016-006, or else it is version 10.11.6 but is missing Security Update 2016-002. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A memory corruption issue exists in the AppleGraphicsControl component due to improper lock state checking. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. (CVE-2016-4662) - A memory corruption issue exists in the NVIDIA Graphics Driver due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-4663) - Multiple flaws exist in the System Boot component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit these to terminate the system or execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. (CVE-2016-4669) - An out-of-bounds write error exists in the ImageIO component when parsing PDF files due to improper bounds checking. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4671) - A memory corruption issue exists in the Core Image component when handling JPEG files due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted JPEG file, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4681) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the ImageIO component when parsing specially crafted SGI images. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information in process memory. (CVE-2016-4682) - Multiple out-of-bounds read and write errors exist in the ImageIO component when parsing specially crafted SGI images. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to disclose potentially sensitive information, cause a denial of service condition, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4683)
