Control Strategy AutoSuspendUntrustworthyClientAccess

URI: CSG-AutoSuspendUntrustworthyClientAccess

Description: Access to service Service by client Client may be automatically disabled to prevent authenticated attacks by compromised clients, at the cost of some reduction in availability. This strategy represents a contingency plan, which can be used to reduce risk from some threats but it also triggers other threats representing possible side effects, depending on how likely it is that the contingency plan will need to be activated.

CSG-AutoSuspendUntrustworthyClientAccess

CC.AuC.CACSScS.1

Possible access to Process by compromised or impersonated client Client of Service: if service Process redirects clients to service Service for authentication, an attacker able to access Service as Client will be able to obtain credentials from Service allowing them to authenticate to Process as Client. Note that this does not necessarily mean they can access service Process, only that the client credentials are compromised.

CC.AuD.CCCSCCS-i.3

Confused deputy as Client via Service: if service Service has access to a back-end service Process that is not normally available to Client, an untrustworthy client may send a malicious request to Service that to gain inappropriate access to Process.

CC.AuP.CCCPCCS-i.3

Access by Client to Process via reverse proxy Service: if client Client has access to service Process via reverse proxy Service, and Client is an untrustworthy client (due to impersonation or compromise), then so (in a more limited sense) is Service.

CC.R.HuoStCCCS.1

Malicious action by insider Human using Client to access Service: if user Human of client process Client is malicious, they can abuse the right of Client to access service Service.

CC.R.HuStCCCS.1

Malicious action by employee of Employer using Client to access Service: user Human of client process Client may be persuaded by their employer Employer to abuse the right of Client to access service Service.

DF.Auth.AC-iDF-VCS.3.2

Compromised or impersonated client Client injects fake content into the flow of data Data from FlowsFrom to FlowsTo between Client and Service: if an attacker can compromise or impersonate client Client, they can inject fake data in messages to Service.

DF.Auth.AC-iDFVFC.2.6

Client Client on stolen host CHost injects fake content into the encrypted flow of Data via Service: if an attacker has possession of host CHost and can access client Client, they can access its cryptographic key and inject malicious content into the flow of Data from Client to FlowsTo.

DF.Auth.AC-iDF-VFC.2.6

DF.Auth.AC-iDFVFC.3.6

Compromised client Client injects fake content into the encrypted flow of Data to/via Service: if an attacker can compromise client Client, they can access its cryptographic key and alter data Data flowing between Client and FlowsTo.

DF.Auth.AC-iDF-VFC.3.6

DF.C.AC-iDF-VSC.3.2

Compromised or impersonated client Client reads data Data flowing from FlowsFrom to FlowsTo when sent from Service: if an attacker can compromise or impersonate Client, they can read Data sent by FlowsFrom to FlowsTo in messages from Service.

DF.C.AC-iDFVTC.2.6

Client Client on stolen host CHost reads the encrypted flow of Data from/via Service: if an attacker has possession of host CHost and can access client Client, they can they can access its cryptographic key and read data Data flowing to Client from FlowsFrom.

DF.C.AC-iDF-VTC.2.6

DF.C.AC-iDFVTC.3.6

Compromised client Client reads the encrypted flow of Data from/via Service: if an attacker can compromise client Client, they can they can access its cryptographic key and read data Data flowing to Client from FlowsFrom.

DF.C.AC-iDF-VTC.3.6

DF.O.CCDFSFC.3

Compromised client Client sends excessive data Data to/via Service: if Client is the source of a flow of data Data which is sent to or via service Service, then if an attacker or malicious user can access Service as Client, they can send too much data, aiming to overload the data flow destination FlowsTo.

DF.O.CCDFSTC.3

Compromised client Client requests excessive data Data from/via Service: if Client is the destination of a flow of data Data which is sent from or via service Service, then if an attacker or malicious user can access Service as Client, they can request too much data, aiming to overload the data flow source FlowsFrom.

LS.L.HLSISC.1

Access to LogicalSubnet as CHost via EAP authenticator process Service: an attacker who can authenticate with process Service can connect to subnet LogicalSubnet.

P.L.CCCLnSAC.1

Compromise or impersonation of Client allows access to SHost via Service: if anyone can access Service as Client, then because Service is a remote access service, they can access SHost.

P.L.CCCSAC.3

Remote control of Service using a back door from Client: if a back door has previously been installed in service Service, an attacker with control of client Client can exploit the back door to gain access to the rights of Service on its host SHost.

CC.AX.CCCS.6.3

Disabling access by untrustworthy client Client to Service affects availability: access by client Client to service Service may be disabled to prevent access by a malicious or compromised client, but this affects the availability of client-service connections.
