Vulnerability Data

The External Visitor Manager portal of HID’s SAFE versions 5.8.0 through 5.11.3 are vulnerable to manipulation within web fields in the application programmable interface (API). An attacker could log in using account credentials available through a request generated by an…

internal user and then manipulate the visitor-id within the web API to access the personal data of other users. There is no limit on the number of requests that can be made to the HID SAFE Web Server, so an attacker could also exploit this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition.

T1034 Path Interception Persistence
**This technique has been deprecated.
T1547 Boot or Logon Autostart Execution Persistence
Adversaries may configure system settings to automatically execute a program during system boot or logon to maintain persistence or gain higher-level privileges on compromised systems.
T1574 Hijack Execution Flow Stealth
Adversaries may execute their own malicious payloads by hijacking the way operating systems run programs.
T1546 Event Triggered Execution Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may establish persistence and/or elevate privileges using system mechanisms that trigger execution based on specific events.

finds

Security testing can detect unauthorized modification paths for assumed-immutable data.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices include design reviews that identify and protect data assumed to be immutable.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate integrity protections for data declared immutable.

prevents

Secure architecture principles call for explicit immutability guarantees and enforcement mechanisms.

prevents

Secure coding standards discourage mutable storage for values that must remain constant.

mitigates

Access-control rules directly prevent unauthorized modification of data assumed to be immutable.
