Attack Tree Path: 1.2. Configuration Vulnerabilities in Rippled Deployment (High-Risk Path, Critical Node)

  • 1.2.1. Weak Access Controls on Rippled RPC/REST API (High-Risk Path, Critical Node)

    • Attack Vector Name: Weak API Access Controls
    • Likelihood: Medium-High
    • Impact: High
    • Effort: Low
    • Skill Level: Low-Medium
    • Detection Difficulty: Low-Medium
    • Actionable Insight: Implement strong authentication and authorization for rippled's API endpoints. Use network segmentation to restrict access to rippled only from trusted application components.

  • 1.2.3. Default Credentials or Weak Passwords for Administrative Interfaces (if any) (High-Risk Path, Critical Node)

    • Attack Vector Name: Default/Weak Administrative Credentials
    • Likelihood: Low-Medium
    • Impact: High
    • Effort: Low
    • Skill Level: Low
    • Detection Difficulty: Low
    • Actionable Insight: Change all default credentials immediately upon deployment. Enforce strong password policies.
