Compliance Node Overview
MITRE CAPEC-159 (Redirect Access to Libraries) is a standard-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary exploits a weakness in the way an application searches for external libraries to manipulate the execution flow to point to an adversary supplied library or code base. This pattern of attack allows the adversary to compromise the application or server via the execution of unauthorized code. An application typically makes calls to functions that are a part of libraries external to the application. Likelihood of attack: High. Typical severity: Very High. Parent pattern for CAPEC-132 Symlink Attack; CAPEC-38 Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths; CAPEC-471 Search Order Hijacking; and others. Maps to weaknesses CWE-706. Relates to MITRE ATT&CK T1574.008.
