Compliance Node Overview
MITRE CAPEC-234 (Hijacking a privileged process) is a standard-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary gains control of a process that is assigned elevated privileges in order to execute arbitrary code with those privileges. Some processes are assigned elevated privileges on an operating system, usually through association with a particular user, group, or role. If an attacker can hijack this process, they will be able to assume its level of privilege in order to execute their own code. Likelihood of attack: Unknown. Typical severity: Medium. Maps to weaknesses CWE-732, CWE-648.
