Monitors register resets that deviate from normal operational patterns, potentially impacting system functionality.
| ID | Name | Description | |
| EX-0009 | Exploit Code Flaws | Threats actors may identify and exploit flaws or weaknesses within the software running on-board the target SV. These attacks may be extremely targeted and tailored to specific coding errors introduced as a result of poor coding practices or they may target known issues in the commercial software components. | |
| EX-0009.01 | Flight Software | Threat actors may abuse known or unknown flight software code flaws in order to further the attack campaign. In some cases, these code flaws can perpetuate throughout the victim SV, allowing access to otherwise segmented subsystems. | |
| EX-0010 | Inject Malicious Code | Threat actors may rely on other tactics and techniques in order to inject malicious code into the victim SV. This can be done via compromising the supply chain or development environment in some capacity or taking advantage of known commands. However, once malicious code has been uploaded to the victim SV, the threat actor can then trigger the code to run via a specific command or wait for a legitimate user to trigger it accidently. The code itself can do a number of different things to the hosted payload, subsystems, or underlying OS. | |
| EX-0012.01 | Registers | Threat actors may target the internal registers of the victim SV in order to modify specific values as the FSW is functioning or prevent certain subsystems from working. Most aspects of the SV rely on internal registries to store important data and temporary values. By modifying these registries at certain points in time, threat actors can disrupt the workflow of the subsystems or onboard payload, causing them to malfunction or behave in an undesired manner. | |
