Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1222.002 (Linux and Mac Permissions) is an Enterprise Defense Evasion sub-technique of T1222 (File and Directory Permissions Modification). Adversaries may modify file or directory permissions/attributes to evade access control lists (ACLs) and access protected files. File and directory permissions are commonly managed by ACLs configured by the file or directory owner, or users with the appropriate permissions. File and directory ACL implementations vary by platform, but generally explicitly designate which users or groups can perform which actions (read, write, execute, etc.). Affected platforms: macOS, Linux. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1022 Restrict File and Directory Permissions, M1026 Privileged Account Management. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-02, AC-03, AC-05, AC-06, AC-16, CA-07, CM-05, CM-06.
