T1053.002 – At

1. Technical Attack Analysis:

– Attack Techniques :
– SQL Injection (T1053.002) : Attackers can exploit the SQL Injection vulnerability to manipulate database queries. By injecting malicious SQL code, an attacker can gain unauthorized access to the database, allowing them to view, modify, or delete data.
– Data Exfiltration : Successful exploitation may lead to extraction of sensitive information such as user credentials, personal data, or financial records.
– Privilege Escalation : If the database user has elevated privileges, an attacker could gain access to further system resources and potentially escalate their access within the application or server.
– Web Application Compromise : The vulnerability could be used as a foothold for further attacks against the web application or underlying infrastructure.

– Possible Outcomes of Exploitation :
– Unauthorized access to sensitive data.
– Data corruption or loss.
– Service disruption or denial of service.
– Compromise of application integrity leading to further attacks.

2. Mitigation Measures:
– Implement prepared statements and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.
– Regularly update and patch application software.
– Conduct security code reviews and vulnerability assessments.
– Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to filter out malicious requests.
– Limit database permissions to the minimum necessary for application functionality.
– Use input validation to sanitize user inputs.
– Monitor and log database activity for suspicious behavior.
– Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities.
