These\r\nrelationships are defined as ChildOf and ParentOf, and give insight to similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels\r\nof abstraction. In addition, relationships such as CanFollow, PeerOf, and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar attack\r\npatterns that the user may want to explore.\r\nNature Type\r\nChildOf Standard Attack Pattern - A standard level attack pattern in CAPEC is focused on a specific methodology or technique used in an attack. It\r\nThis table shows the views that this attack pattern belongs to and top level categories within that view.\r\nView Name Top Level Categories\r\nDomains of Attack Software\r\nMechanisms of Attack Inject Unexpected Items\r\n Example Instances\r\nSpecific versions of Windows contain accessibility features that may be launched with a key combination before a user has\r\nlogged in (for example when they are on the Windows Logon screen). On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/R2, the\r\nprogram (e.g. \"C:\\Windows\\System32\\utilman.exe\") may be replaced with cmd.exe (or another program that provides\r\nbackdoor access). Then pressing the appropriate key combination at the login screen while sitting at the keyboard or when\r\nconnected over RDP will cause the replaced file to be executed with SYSTEM privileges.\r\n Taxonomy Mappings\r\nCAPEC mappings to ATT\u0026CK techniques leverage an inheritance model to streamline and minimize direct\r\nCAPEC/ATT\u0026CK mappings. Inheritance of a mapping is indicated by text stating that the parent CAPEC has relevant\r\nATT\u0026CK mappings. Note that the ATT\u0026CK Enterprise Framework does not use an inheritance model as part of the\r\nmapping to CAPEC.\r\nRelevant to the ATT\u0026CK taxonomy mapping (also see parent)\r\nEntry ID Entry Name\r\n1505.005 Server Software Component: Terminal Services DLL\r\n1546.008 Event Triggered Execution: Accessibility Features\r\n Content History\r\nSubmissions\r\nhttps://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/558.html\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nSubmission Date Submitter Organization\r\n2015-11-09\r\n(Version 2.7)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nModifications\r\nModification Date Modifier Organization\r\n2018-07-31\r\n(Version 2.12)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Description Summary, References, Typical_Likelihood_of_Exploit, Typical_Severity\r\n2019-04-04\r\n(Version 3.1)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Related_Weaknesses\r\n2020-07-30\r\n(Version 3.3)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Taxonomy_Mappings\r\n2022-09-29\r\n(Version 3.8)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Taxonomy_Mappings\r\nMore information is available — Please select a different filter.\r\nSource: https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/558.html\r\nhttps://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/558.html\r\nPage 2 of 2",
