addresses: CWE-20

Security testing and evaluation at multiple SDLC stages directly detects missing or flawed input validation, with the required remediation process ensuring fixes are applied.

addresses: CWE-20

Directly implements checks on information inputs to reject invalid data before processing.

addresses: CWE-20

Spam protection mechanisms perform filtering and detection on inbound/outbound messages, directly compensating for missing or weak input validation of unsolicited content.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

Improper input validation enables remote exploitation leading to endpoint system crash (DoS).

Confidence: MEDIUM · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description

In nr modem, there is a possible system crash due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed.
