Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Restful Privilege Elevation Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.

| description | The version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 83.0.478.37. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - A use after free in media in Microsoft Edge (Chromium) allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6466) - A use after free in WebRTC in Microsoft Edge (Chromium) allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6467) - Type confusion in V8 in Microsoft Edge (Chromium) allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6468) In addition, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) is also affected by several additional vulnerabilities including additional use-after-free vulnerabilties, privilege escalations, and insufficient policy enforcements. |
