Attack Tree Analysis for ifttt/jazzhands

Objective: To degrade the user experience or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in an application using ifttt/jazzhands by manipulating animation parameters or exploiting library vulnerabilities.

Attack Tree Path: [Degrade User Experience / DoS] (Critical Node)

  • Description: This is the overarching goal of the attacker. They aim to make the application unusable or significantly less enjoyable for legitimate users.
  • Methods: Achieved by exploiting vulnerabilities that lead to resource exhaustion or by providing invalid input that causes unexpected behavior.

Attack Tree Path: [Resource Exhaustion] (Critical Node)

  • Description: The attacker attempts to consume excessive system resources (CPU or memory) to the point where the application becomes unresponsive or crashes.
  • Methods:
    • [CPU Hogging]:
      • Description: Triggering a large number of complex animations simultaneously, or animations with very long durations, to overload the CPU.
      • Likelihood: Medium
      • Impact: Medium (UI lag, unresponsiveness, potential app crash.)
      • Effort: Low
      • Skill Level: Low
      • Detection Difficulty: Medium
    • [Memory Leak]:
      • Description: Repeatedly starting and stopping animations, especially those involving large resources, without proper cleanup, leading to a gradual depletion of available memory.
      • Likelihood: Medium
      • Impact: Medium to High (Slow degradation, eventual crash.)
      • Effort: Low to Medium
      • Skill Level: Low to Medium
      • Detection Difficulty: Medium

Attack Tree Path: [Invalid Input] (Critical Node)

  • Description: The attacker provides deliberately malformed or out-of-bounds input to the animation library, hoping to trigger unexpected behavior, crashes, or other vulnerabilities.
    • Methods:
      • [Oversized Animations]:
        • Description: Attempting to create animations with extremely large dimensions or scales, exceeding the library's or device's capabilities.
        • Likelihood: Medium
        • Impact: Medium to High (Rendering issues, crashes.)
        • Effort: Low
        • Skill Level: Low to Medium
        • Detection Difficulty: Medium
      • [Negative Values]:
        • Description: Providing negative values for parameters that should only accept positive values (e.g., duration, delay).
        • Likelihood: Low to Medium
        • Impact: Medium (Unexpected behavior, crashes.)
        • Effort: Low
        • Skill Level: Low
        • Detection Difficulty: Medium
