Application exploit (RCE)
Info
ID: MS-TA7009
Tactic: Execution
MITRE technique:
Deployed web applications that contain a remote code execution vulnerability, or a vulnerability that could eventually lead to code execution, can enable attackers to run malicious code in the web application context. If the application has access to any additional resources, then the attacker could access those as well.
Mitigations
| ID | Mitigation | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MS-M7004 | Maintain up-to-date dependencies | Patch application code, frameworks, and libraries to eliminate exploitable vulnerabilities. |
| MS-M7005 | Implement application security testing | Use SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning to identify and remediate RCE risks. |
| MS-M7006 | Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) | Block exploit attempts targeting deserialization, template injection, or command execution vulnerabilities. |
