Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Fake the Source of Data An adversary provides data under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or it might be an attempt by the adversary to assume the rights granted to another identity. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

NASL family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins NASL id SMB_NT_MS19_FEB_OFFICE_VIEWERS.NASL description The Microsoft Office Viewers and Compatibility Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft Office does not validate URLs. An attacker could send a victim a specially crafted file, which could trick the victim into entering credentials. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could perform a phishing attack. The update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring Microsoft Office properly validates URLs.
