Attack Tree Path: Compromise Application Data and/or Availability via CouchDB Exploitation [CRITICAL NODE]
Description: This is the ultimate goal of the attacker. Success means gaining unauthorized access to application data, disrupting application services, or both. Attack Vectors (Leading to this Goal): * Exploiting Network Exposure of CouchDB * Exploiting Authentication and Authorization Weaknesses * Exploiting CouchDB Software Vulnerabilities
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Network Exposure of CouchDB [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Attackers target vulnerabilities arising from how CouchDB is exposed on the network. If network access is poorly controlled, it opens doors for various attacks. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Unsecured Network Access
Attack Tree Path: Unsecured Network Access [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: This is a fundamental security flaw where CouchDB is accessible from untrusted networks, especially the public internet, without proper network controls. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * CouchDB directly exposed to public internet without firewall/network segmentation
Attack Tree Path: CouchDB directly exposed to public internet without firewall/network segmentation [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: The most critical instance of unsecured network access. CouchDB is directly reachable from the internet, allowing anyone to attempt to connect and exploit vulnerabilities. Attack Characteristics: * Likelihood: Medium (Common misconfiguration) * Impact: High (Full compromise possible) * Effort: Low (Easy to discover via network scanning) * Skill Level: Beginner * Detection Difficulty: Easy (Network monitoring, port scanning detection)
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Authentication and Authorization Weaknesses [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Attackers aim to bypass or abuse CouchDB's authentication and authorization mechanisms to gain unauthorized access. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Default Credentials * Weak Credentials
Attack Tree Path: Default Credentials [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Using the default administrator credentials provided by CouchDB (if not changed). This is a very common and easily exploitable vulnerability. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Using default admin credentials (e.g., admin/password if not changed)
Attack Tree Path: Using default admin credentials (e.g., admin/password if not changed) [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Directly attempting to log in with well-known default credentials. Attack Characteristics: * Likelihood: Medium (Common oversight) * Impact: High (Full admin access) * Effort: Low (Trivial to try) * Skill Level: Beginner * Detection Difficulty: Easy (Authentication logs, failed login attempts for default users)
Attack Tree Path: Weak Credentials [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Exploiting weak passwords set by administrators or users. Weak passwords are susceptible to brute-force and dictionary attacks. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Brute-force attacks on weak passwords
Attack Tree Path: Brute-force attacks on weak passwords [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Systematically trying different password combinations to guess a weak password. Attack Characteristics: * Likelihood: Medium (If weak passwords are allowed) * Impact: High (Account compromise, potential admin access) * Effort: Medium (Requires password cracking tools) * Skill Level: Beginner/Intermediate * Detection Difficulty: Medium (High volume of failed login attempts, account lockout events)
Description: Targeting known or unknown vulnerabilities within the CouchDB software itself. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Known Vulnerabilities (CVEs) * Outdated CouchDB Version
Attack Tree Path: Known Vulnerabilities (CVEs) [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Exploiting publicly disclosed vulnerabilities (CVEs) in specific CouchDB versions. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Exploiting known vulnerabilities in specific CouchDB versions
Attack Tree Path: Exploiting known vulnerabilities in specific CouchDB versions [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Using exploits to leverage known CVEs to compromise the CouchDB instance. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities
Description: Exploiting RCE vulnerabilities allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the CouchDB server, leading to full system compromise. Attack Characteristics: * Likelihood: Medium (If systems are not patched promptly) * Impact: High (Full system compromise) * Effort: Low (If exploit is publicly available) * Skill Level: Beginner (to use exploit), Expert (to discover) * Detection Difficulty: Medium/Hard (Exploit attempts can be detected by IDS/IPS, but successful exploit might be harder to detect immediately)
Attack Tree Path: Outdated CouchDB Version [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Running an outdated version of CouchDB that contains known, unpatched vulnerabilities. Attack Vectors (Within this Path): * Running an outdated, unsupported version of CouchDB with known vulnerabilities
Attack Tree Path: Running an outdated, unsupported version of CouchDB with known vulnerabilities [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]
Description: Specifically running a version of CouchDB that is no longer supported and contains publicly known vulnerabilities that are not patched. Attack Characteristics: * Likelihood: Medium (Organizations often lag in updates) * Impact: High (Exposure to all known vulnerabilities) * Effort: Low (Easy to identify outdated versions) * Skill Level: Beginner * Detection Difficulty: Easy (Vulnerability scanning, version checks)
