Description
The software establishes a communication channel with an endpoint and receives a message from that endpoint, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the message was not modified during transmission.
Attackers might be able to modify the message and spoof the endpoint by interfering with the data as it crosses the network or by redirecting the connection to a system under their control.
Modes of Introduction:
– Architecture and Design
Likelihood of Exploit:
Related Weaknesses
Consequences
Integrity, Confidentiality: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
If an attackers can spoof the endpoint, the attacker gains all the privileges that were intended for the original endpoint.
