CAPEC-670: Software Development Tools Maliciously Altered

Detailed Draft 严重程度: High 攻击可能性: Low

CAPEC版本: 3.9

更新日期: 2023-01-24

攻击模式描述

An adversary with the ability to alter tools used in a development environment causes software to be developed with maliciously modified tools. Such tools include requirements management and database tools, software design tools, configuration management tools, compilers, system build tools, and software performance testing and load testing tools. The adversary then carries out malicious acts once the software is deployed including malware infection of other systems to support further compromises.

前提条件

  • An adversary would need to have access to a targeted developer’s development environment and in particular to tools used to design, create, test and manage software, where the adversary could ensure malicious code is included in software packages built through alteration or substitution of tools in the environment used in the development of software.

所需技能

High Ability to leverage common delivery mechanisms (e.g., email attachments, removable media) to infiltrate a development environment to gain access to software development tools for the purpose of malware insertion into an existing tool or replacement of an existing tool with a maliciously altered copy.

后果影响

影响范围: Integrity

技术影响: Execute Unauthorized Commands

影响范围: Access Control

技术影响: Gain Privileges

影响范围: Confidentiality

技术影响: Modify Data

缓解措施

Have a security concept of operations (CONOPS) for the development environment that includes: Maintaining strict security administration and configuration management of requirements management and database tools, software design tools, configuration management tools, compilers, system build tools, and software performance testing and load testing tools.

Avoid giving elevated privileges to developers.

示例实例

An adversary with access to software build tools inside an Integrated Development Environment IDE alters a script used for downloading dependencies from a dependent code repository where the script has been changed to include malicious code implanted in the repository by the adversary.
