Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • XML Ping of the Death
    An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
  • XML Entity Expansion
    An attacker submits an XML document to a target application where the XML document uses nested entity expansion to produce an excessively large output XML. XML allows the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.
  • Inducing Account Lockout
    An attacker leverages the security functionality of the system aimed at thwarting potential attacks to launch a denial of service attack against a legitimate system user. Many systems, for instance, implement a password throttling mechanism that locks an account after a certain number of incorrect log in attempts. An attacker can leverage this throttling mechanism to lock a legitimate user out of their own account. The weakness that is being leveraged by an attacker is the very security feature that has been put in place to counteract attacks.
  • Violating Implicit Assumptions Regarding XML Content (aka XML Denial of Service (XDoS))
    XML Denial of Service (XDoS) can be applied to any technology that utilizes XML data. This is, of course, most distributed systems technology including Java, .Net, databases, and so on. XDoS is most closely associated with web services, SOAP, and Rest, because remote service requesters can post malicious XML payloads to the service provider designed to exhaust the service provider's memory, CPU, and/or disk space. The main weakness in XDoS is that the service provider generally must inspect, parse, and validate the XML messages to determine routing, workflow, security considerations, and so on. It is exactly these inspection, parsing, and validation routines that XDoS targets. There are three primary attack vectors that XDoS can navigate Target CPU through recursion: attacker creates a recursive payload and sends to service provider Target memory through jumbo payloads: service provider uses DOM to parse XML. DOM creates in memory representation of XML document, but when document is very large (for example, north of 1 Gb) service provider host may exhaust memory trying to build memory objects. XML Ping of death: attack service provider with numerous small files that clog the system. All of the above attacks exploit the loosely coupled nature of web services, where the service provider has little to no control over the service requester and any messages the service requester sends.

    descriptionThe version of Apple Safari installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 10.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - An out-of-bounds read error exists in WebKit when handling certain JavaScript code. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the disclosure of memory contents. (CVE-2016-9642) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in WebKit when handling certain regular expressions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web page, to exhaust available memory resources. (CVE-2016-9643) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in WebKit when handling page loading due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2364, CVE-2017-2367) - An unspecified state management flaw exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof the address bar. (CVE-2017-2376) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Web Inspector component when closing a window while the debugger is paused. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to terminate the application. (CVE-2017-2377) - An unspecified flaw exists in WebKit when creating bookmarks using drag-and-drop due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to spoof bookmarks or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2378) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Login AutofFill component that allows a local attacker to access keychain items. (CVE-2017-2385) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in WebKit when handling unspecified exceptions or elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted web content, to disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2386, CVE-2017-2479, CVE-2017-2480) - An unspecified flaw exists in the handling of HTTP authentication that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose authentication sheets on arbitrary websites or cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-2389) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in WebKit that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2394, CVE-2017-2395, CVE-2017-2396, CVE-2017-2433, CVE-2017-2454, CVE-2017-2455, CVE-2017-2459, CVE-2017-2460, CVE-2017-2464, CVE-2017-2465, CVE-2017-2466, CVE-2017-2468, CVE-2017-2469, CVE-2017-2470, CVE-2017-2476) - A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit within the Web Inspector component due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2405) - An unspecified type confusion error exists that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2415) - A security bypass vulnerability exists in WebKit that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the Content Security Policy by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2419) - An unspecified flaw exists in WebKit when handling OpenGL shaders that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose process memory content by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2424) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in WebKit JavaScript Bindings when handling page loading due to unspecified logic flaws. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2442) - A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit within the CoreGraphics component due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2444) - A universal cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WebKit when handling frame objects due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to execute arbitrary script code in a user
