What MITRE CAPEC-456: Infected Memory (Standard Attack Pattern - High Severity) requires
MITRE CAPEC-456 (Infected Memory) is a standard-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary inserts malicious logic into memory enabling them to achieve a negative impact. This logic is often hidden from the user of the system and works behind the scenes to achieve negative impacts. This pattern of attack focuses on systems already fielded and used in operation as opposed to systems that are still under development and part of the supply chain. Likelihood of attack: Medium. Typical severity: High. Parent pattern for CAPEC-457 USB Memory Attacks; CAPEC-458 Flash Memory Attacks. Maps to weaknesses CWE-1257, CWE-1260, CWE-1274, CWE-1312, and others.
