Description

If device management is intended to be performed by a dedicated engineering software platform or integrated development environment (IDE), the threat actor could potentially modify the software platform, such as by manipulating key .dlls, to install malicious code or manipulate the operation of the device. This can provide the threat actor with a mechanism to bypass protections/countermeasures.
