Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- All immutable code or data should be programmed into ROM or write-once memory.
CAPEC-458: Flash Memory Attacks
An adversary inserts malicious logic into a product or technology via flashing the on-board memory with a code-base that contains malicious logic. Various attacks exist against the integrity of flash memory, the most direct being rootkits coded into the BIOS or chipset of a device.
CAPEC-679: Exploitation of Improperly Configured or Implemented Memory Protections
An adversary takes advantage of missing or incorrectly configured access control within memory to read/write data or inject malicious code into said memory.
