Compliance Node Overview
MITRE CAPEC-649 (Adding a Space to a File Extension) is a detailed-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary adds a space character to the end of a file extension and takes advantage of an application that does not properly neutralize trailing special elements in file names. This extra space, which can be difficult for a user to notice, affects which default application is used to operate on the file and can be leveraged by the adversary to control execution. Likelihood of attack: Low. Typical severity: Medium. Maps to weaknesses CWE-46. Relates to MITRE ATT&CK T1036.006.
