Vulnerability Data

An information leak was discovered in OpenStack heat. This issue could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to use the 'stack show' command to reveal parameters which are supposed to remain hidden. This has a low impact to the confidentiality, integrity,…

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1001.002 Steganography Command And Control
Adversaries may use steganographic techniques to hide command and control traffic to make detection efforts more difficult.
T1001.003 Protocol or Service Impersonation Command And Control
Adversaries may impersonate legitimate protocols or web service traffic to disguise command and control activity and thwart analysis efforts.
T1003.002 Security Account Manager Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to extract credential material from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database either through in-memory techniques or through the Windows Registry where the SAM database is stored.
T1003.003 NTDS Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to access or create a copy of the Active Directory domain database in order to steal credential information, as well as obtain other information about domain members such as devices, users, and access rights.
T1003.005 Cached Domain Credentials Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to access cached domain credentials used to allow authentication to occur in the event a domain controller is unavailable.
T1010 Application Window Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of open application windows.

Behavior analytics on query activity can detect inference attempts but does not prevent exposure at query time.

PR.AA-05 partial match
blocks

Least-privilege query permissions directly limit the data an attacker can request or infer.

PR.DS-10 partial match

Protecting data-in-use reduces what remains available for inference via queries.

degrades

Classification helps identify sensitive data that must be protected from inference attacks.

blocks

A.5.15 defines governance, policies, requirements and rules for access control (including need-to-know and classification consistency) but does not itself enforce, implement or act on those rules to stop statistical inference from data queries; per the owner's labeling rule, this is a dependency for other controls (e.g. actual access enforcement or DLP) rather than a prevention effect.

blocks

A.5.18 governs the provisioning, review, and revocation of authorized access rights; it has no bearing on whether an attacker can statistically infer confidential information from data queries, which is a disclosure weakness unrelated to access-right decisions.

A.8.11 Data masking partial match
blocks

Data masking prevents inference by obscuring sensitive values returned in query results.

finds

DLP can detect and block queries or result sets that risk exposing sensitive information.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging query activity supports detection of inference attempts after the fact.
