What MITRE CAPEC-457: USB Memory Attacks (Detailed Attack Pattern - High Severity) requires
MITRE CAPEC-457 (USB Memory Attacks) is a detailed-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary loads malicious code onto a USB memory stick in order to infect any system which the device is plugged in to. USB drives present a significant security risk for business and government agencies. Given the ability to integrate wireless functionality into a USB stick, it is possible to design malware that not only steals confidential data, but sniffs the network, or monitor keystrokes, and then. Likelihood of attack: Low. Typical severity: High. Maps to weaknesses CWE-1299. Relates to MITRE ATT&CK T1091, T1092.
