Exploit Public-Facing Application

C · Explainer (cannot be honestly simulated in-browser) AML.TA0004 · Initial Access

Description

Adversaries may attempt to take advantage of a weakness in an Internet-facing computer or program using software, data, or commands in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior. The weakness in the system can be a bug, a glitch, or a design vulnerability. These applications are often websites, but can include databases (like SQL), standard services (like SMB or SSH), network device administration and management protocols (like SNMP and Smart Install), and any other applications with Internet accessible open sockets, such as web servers and related services.

Honesty-tier rationale

Requires real infrastructure, valid credentials, or a victim. Working access cannot be honestly enacted inside a browser.
