Objective: Gain unauthorized access to sensitive application configuration data managed by et
and/or manipulate this data to compromise the application's functionality or security.
- Exploit et Server Vulnerabilities [HIGH RISK PATH]
- Authentication and Authorization Bypass [HIGH RISK PATH]
- Default/Weak Credentials [HIGH RISK PATH]
- 1.1.1. Use default credentials if not changed (e.g., for etcd or et server itself if any) (CRITICAL NODE)
- No/Weak Authentication Implemented [HIGH RISK PATH]
- 1.4.1. Access et server API without any authentication if not enforced by default or misconfigured (CRITICAL NODE)
- Default/Weak Credentials [HIGH RISK PATH]
- Dependency Vulnerabilities (Indirectly via et) [HIGH RISK PATH]
- Vulnerabilities in etcd [HIGH RISK PATH]
- 4.1.1. Exploit known vulnerabilities in the etcd version used by et (if et doesn't enforce secure etcd setup) (CRITICAL NODE)

- 5.1.1. et server API accessible from the public internet without proper network segmentation or firewall rules (CRITICAL NODE)
- Weak etcd Configuration (via et deployment) [HIGH RISK PATH]
- 5.3.1. et deployment leads to insecure etcd setup (e.g., default ports exposed, no authentication on etcd itself) (CRITICAL NODE)
- Exposed et Server API [HIGH RISK PATH]
- Misuse of et by Application Developers [HIGH RISK PATH]
- Storing Highly Sensitive Data in et without Proper Encryption [HIGH RISK PATH]
- 6.1.1. Developers store secrets (API keys, database passwords) in plain text in et configuration, increasing risk of exposure (CRITICAL NODE)
