🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1203Exploitation for Client Executionexecution75 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution85 %
Vector AV:L con UI:R (requiere interacción del usuario abrir adjunto malicioso) + validación insuficiente (CWE-20) → T1203. Arbitrary code execution confirma T1059 como impacto primario.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
