CAPEC-68: Subvert Code-signing Facilities

ID CAPEC-68
Typical Severity Very High
Likelihood Of Attack Low
Status Draft

Many languages use code signing facilities to vouch for code's identity and to thus tie code to its assigned privileges within an environment. Subverting this mechanism can be instrumental in an attacker escalating privilege. Any means of subverting the way that a virtual machine enforces code signing classifies for this style of attack.
