The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before inserting the input into an executable resource, such as a library, configuration file, or template.
MITRE ATT&CK techniques associated with this weakness class (mapped via MITRE CAPEC). A vulnerability of this type could let an adversary carry out:
A stage-by-stage walkthrough of the attack, mapped to the real MITRE ATT&CK tactics for this weakness — what the attacker is trying to do, what's at risk (what can be stolen or damaged), and how you defend. Understanding the playbook is how you shut it down.
Map what else is reachable — hosts, services, data stores, and accounts.
Internal topology, service inventory, and data locations the attacker enumerates.
Network segmentation and detection of unusual internal scanning.
Keep a remote channel to control the compromised system.
Outbound network paths the attacker uses to receive commands and stage tools.
Egress filtering, DNS/traffic monitoring, and blocking anomalous outbound connections.
This is a defensive, conceptual walkthrough for education — stages reflect MITRE ATT&CK tactics associated with this weakness class, not a working exploit. Not every attack uses every stage.
