Descriptions CAPEC

An attacker manipulates either egress or ingress data from a client within an application framework in order to change the destination and/or content of buttons displayed to a user within API messages. Performing this attack allows the attacker to manipulate content in such a way as to produce messages or content that looks authentic but contains buttons that point to an attacker controlled destination.

Informations CAPEC

Targeted software is utilizing application framework APIs

Resources Required

A software program that allows the use of adversary-in-the-middle (CAPEC-94) communications between the client and server, such as a adversary-in-the-middle (CAPEC-94) proxy.
