Attack Tree Analysis for cloudwu/skynet

Objective: To gain unauthorized control over the Skynet application and its underlying services, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruption, or malicious actions performed within the application's context. This includes compromising the integrity and availability of the Skynet system.

Attack Tree Path: Exploit Skynet Framework Vulnerabilities

Attack Vector: Exploiting weaknesses within the core Skynet framework itself. This is a critical node because compromising the framework can have widespread impact on all applications and services running on it.

    *   **1.1.1. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Memory Safety Issues (Buffer Overflows, Use-After-Free)**
        *   **Attack Description:** Exploiting memory management flaws in Skynet's C core through crafted messages or service interactions.
        *   **Likelihood:** Medium
        *   **Impact:** Critical (Code execution, full system compromise)
        *   **Effort:** High
        *   **Skill Level:** High
        *   **Detection Difficulty:** Difficult
    *   **1.1.2. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Vulnerabilities in C Modules (if any are externally facing)**
        *   **Attack Description:** Exploiting vulnerabilities within externally facing C modules used by Skynet.
        *   **Likelihood:** Medium
        *   **Impact:** Critical (Module context compromise, potentially system-wide)
        *   **Effort:** Medium
        *   **Skill Level:** Medium
        *   **Detection Difficulty:** Medium

*   **1.2. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Lua Code Injection (if application dynamically loads/evaluates Lua)**
    *   **Attack Description:** Injecting malicious Lua code if the application dynamically loads or evaluates Lua code from untrusted sources.
    *   **Likelihood:** Medium
        *   **Impact:** Significant (Service compromise, data manipulation)
        *   **Effort:** Low
        *   **Skill Level:** Low
        *   **Detection Difficulty:** Easy

*   **1.3. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Vulnerabilities in Lua Libraries used by Skynet or Services**
    *   **Attack Description:** Exploiting known vulnerabilities in Lua libraries used by Skynet or its services.
    *   **Likelihood:** Medium
        *   **Impact:** Moderate to Significant (Depends on vulnerability and library)
        *   **Effort:** Low
        *   **Skill Level:** Low to Medium
        *   **Detection Difficulty:** Medium

*   **1.4. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Message Forgery/Tampering (if no message integrity checks)**
    *   **Attack Description:** Forging or tampering with messages in transit between services if message integrity checks are absent.
    *   **Likelihood:** Low
        *   **Impact:** Significant (Altering application logic, data manipulation)
        *   **Effort:** Medium
        *   **Skill Level:** Medium
        *   **Detection Difficulty:** Difficult

Attack Tree Path: Exploit Service-Level Vulnerabilities (within Skynet Services)

Attack Vector: Exploiting vulnerabilities within the individual services built on top of Skynet. This is a critical node because services are where application logic resides and data is processed.

    *   **2.1.1. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Input Validation Flaws in Lua Services**
        *   **Attack Description:** Exploiting improper input validation in Lua services through crafted messages.
        *   **Likelihood:** High
        *   **Impact:** Significant (Service compromise, data manipulation)
        *   **Effort:** Low
        *   **Skill Level:** Low
        *   **Detection Difficulty:** Easy

*   **2.2. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Vulnerabilities in C Service Modules (if used)**
    *   **2.2.1. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Memory Safety Issues in C Service Modules**
        *   **Attack Description:** Exploiting memory safety vulnerabilities in C modules used within services.
        *   **Likelihood:** Medium
        *   **Impact:** Critical (Module context compromise, potentially wider)

Attack Tree Path: Exploit Deployment/Configuration Weaknesses Related to Skynet

Attack Vector: Exploiting weaknesses arising from insecure deployment or misconfiguration of the Skynet environment. This is a critical node because deployment and configuration issues can expose the entire system.

*   **3.1. *[HIGH-RISK PATH]* **[CRITICAL NODE]** Misconfigured Skynet Nodes/Clusters**
    *   **Attack Description:** Exploiting misconfigurations in Skynet node or cluster setup (e.g., exposed ports, weak passwords).
