Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • 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.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

"The remote Windows host is missing security update 4074588. 
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
    Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt
    memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
    arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
    attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could gain the same user rights as the current user.
    (CVE-2018-0866)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in
    Windows Scripting Host which could allow an attacker to
    bypass Device Guard. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could circumvent a User
    Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) policy on the machine.
    (CVE-2018-0827)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
    Microsoft Edge. The vulnerability could corrupt memory
    in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary
    code in the context of the current user. An attacker who
    successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the
    same user rights as the current user.  (CVE-2018-0834,
    CVE-2018-0835, CVE-2018-0836, CVE-2018-0837,
    CVE-2018-0838, CVE-2018-0856, CVE-2018-0857,
    CVE-2018-0859, CVE-2018-0860)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
    Microsoft Edge improperly handles objects in memory. An
    attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could obtain information to further compromise the users
    system.  (CVE-2018-0763)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory
    address. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system.  (CVE-2018-0843)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
    Windows kernel that could allow an attacker to retrieve
    information that could lead to a Kernel Address Space
    Layout Randomization (ASLR) bypass. An attacker who
    successfully exploited the vulnerability could retrieve
    the memory address of a kernel object.  (CVE-2018-0832)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
    VBScript improperly discloses the contents of its
    memory, which could provide an attacker with information
    to further compromise the users computer or data.
    (CVE-2018-0847)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An
    attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
    could obtain information to further compromise the users
    system.  (CVE-2018-0757, CVE-2018-0829, CVE-2018-0830)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
    StructuredQuery when the software fails to properly
    handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in
    the context of the current user. If the current user is
    logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker
    could take control of the affected system. An attacker
    could then install programs; view, change, or delete
    data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2018-0825)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when
    Storage Services improperly handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could run processes in an elevated
    context.  (CVE-2018-0826)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when NTFS
    improperly handles objects. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an
    elevated context.  (CVE-2018-0822)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when
    AppContainer improperly implements constrained
    impersonation. An attacker who successfully exploited
    this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated
    context.  (CVE-2018-0821)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
    Windows improperly handles objects in memory. An
    attacker who successfully exploited these
    vulnerabilities could take control of an affected
    system.  (CVE-2018-0842)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly
    handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an
    elevated context.  (CVE-2018-0844, CVE-2018-0846)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exist when Named
    Pipe File System improperly handles objects. An attacker
    who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run
    processes in an elevated context.  (CVE-2018-0823)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel fails to properly handle objects in
    memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
    An attacker could then install programs; view, change,
    or delete data; or create new accounts with full user
    rights.  (CVE-2018-0809)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
    way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could execute code with elevated permissions.
    (CVE-2018-0742, CVE-2018-0756, CVE-2018-0820,
    CVE-2018-0831)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
    Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt
    memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
    arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
    attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could gain the same user rights as the current user.
