Attack Tree Path: Exploit Vulnerabilities in SWF Processing -> Malicious SWF Upload/Injection -> Bypass Input Validation (Application) -> Upload/Inject Malicious SWF:
Attack Vector: An attacker uploads or injects a specially crafted malicious SWF file into the application. This is possible if the application lacks sufficient input validation to detect and block malicious SWFs.
How it works: The attacker crafts an SWF file designed to exploit a vulnerability in Ruffle-rs. They then attempt to upload this SWF through application features that allow file uploads or inject it through other means if the application processes external SWF content. If input validation is weak or absent, the application accepts the malicious SWF. When Ruffle-rs processes this SWF, the vulnerability is triggered, potentially leading to code execution, data theft, or other forms of compromise.
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Vulnerabilities in SWF Processing -> SWF Parsing Vulnerabilities in Ruffle -> Buffer Overflow in Parser -> Trigger Buffer Overflow via Crafted SWF:
Attack Vector: An attacker exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Ruffle-rs's SWF parser.
How it works: The attacker crafts an SWF file that contains specific data structures designed to trigger a buffer overflow when Ruffle-rs parses it. A buffer overflow occurs when the parser writes data beyond the allocated memory buffer. This can overwrite adjacent memory regions, potentially allowing the attacker to control program execution and inject malicious code.
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Vulnerabilities in SWF Processing -> ActionScript Execution Vulnerabilities in Ruffle -> Sandbox Escape -> Exploit Weaknesses in Ruffle's Sandbox Implementation:
Attack Vector: An attacker escapes Ruffle-rs's ActionScript sandbox.
How it works: Ruffle-rs implements a security sandbox to restrict the capabilities of ActionScript code within SWF files, preventing it from directly accessing system resources or sensitive data. A sandbox escape vulnerability allows malicious ActionScript code to bypass these restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the host environment, potentially leading to application or system compromise.
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Vulnerabilities in SWF Processing -> ActionScript Execution Vulnerabilities in Ruffle -> Memory Corruption during ActionScript Execution -> Trigger Memory Corruption via Crafted ActionScript:
Attack Vector: An attacker triggers memory corruption during ActionScript execution within Ruffle-rs.
How it works: The attacker crafts an SWF file with ActionScript code that exploits a bug in Ruffle-rs's ActionScript interpreter or runtime environment. This bug leads to memory corruption, such as writing to invalid memory locations. Memory corruption can be leveraged to gain control of program execution and execute arbitrary code.
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Vulnerabilities in SWF Processing -> ActionScript Execution Vulnerabilities in Ruffle -> Vulnerabilities in Implemented ActionScript APIs -> Exploit Bugs in Ruffle's ActionScript API implementations:
Attack Vector: An attacker exploits vulnerabilities in Ruffle-rs's implementation of ActionScript APIs.
How it works: Ruffle-rs implements a subset of Flash's ActionScript APIs to allow SWF content to interact with its environment. Bugs in these API implementations can create security vulnerabilities. For example, an API might have an incorrect bounds check, allowing an attacker to read or write memory outside of intended boundaries, potentially leading to information disclosure or code execution.
Attack Tree Path: Exploit Vulnerabilities in SWF Processing -> Vulnerabilities in Ruffle's External Interface Handling -> Exploit flaws in how Ruffle interacts with the host application via ExternalInterface:
Attack Vector: An attacker exploits vulnerabilities in how Ruffle-rs handles the ExternalInterface mechanism.
How it works: ExternalInterface is a Flash API that allows SWF content to communicate with the JavaScript environment of the web page hosting the Flash content. Ruffle-rs needs to implement this interface. Vulnerabilities in this implementation can allow malicious SWF content to bypass security boundaries and interact with the application's JavaScript code in unintended ways. This could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, data theft, or other forms of compromise within the application's web context.
Attack Tree Path: Social Engineering Targeting Ruffle Users/Developers -> Phishing for Malicious SWFs -> Trick users into uploading/using malicious SWFs intended to exploit Ruffle:
Attack Vector: An attacker uses social engineering techniques to trick users into uploading or using malicious SWF files.
How it works: The attacker crafts a phishing campaign or uses other social engineering methods to deceive users into believing they are interacting with legitimate content or a trusted source. They distribute malicious SWF files disguised as legitimate files (e.g., games, animations, documents). If users are tricked into uploading or using these malicious SWFs within the application, and the application uses Ruffle-rs to process them, the vulnerabilities in Ruffle-rs can be exploited, leading to compromise.
