Name: Policy Privileges are not Assigned Consistently Between Control and Data Agents
The product's hardware-enforced access control for a particular resource improperly accounts for privilege discrepancies between control and write policies.
Allgemeine Informationen
Einführungsmodi
Architecture and Design : This weakness may be introduced during the design of a device when the architect does not comprehensively specify all of the policies required by an agent.Implementation : This weakness may be introduced during implementation if device policy restrictions do not sufficiently constrain less-privileged clients.

Hinweise zur Schwachstellen-Zuordnung
Begründung : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.Kommentar : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

| CAPEC-180 | Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels
An attacker exploits a weakness in the configuration of access controls and is able to bypass the intended protection that these measures guard against and thereby obtain unauthorized access to the system or network. Sensitive functionality should always be protected with access controls. However configuring all but the most trivial access control systems can be very complicated and there are many opportunities for mistakes. If an attacker can learn of incorrectly configured access security settings, they may be able to exploit this in an attack. |
