T2014.003 'OBSW modification' covers modifying onboard software — addresses DE-0002.03's TM-suppression-at-source via altered packet filters, paused publishers, and reconfigured transmitters.
T2014.003 'OBSW modification' covers modifying onboard software — addresses DE-0006's modification of whitelist data (which is software configuration) to permit malicious processes.
T2014.003 'OBSW modification' covers software backdoors that 'permit a future access on the resource' — directly aligned with EX-0003's hot-patching of command handlers, MAC checks, and authentication routines to widen acceptance.
T2014.003 'OBSW modification' covers software-backdoor installation that 'permits future access' — directly aligned with EX-0010 Malicious Code's altering of flight software, manipulating payload controllers, and patching gateways.
T2014.003 'OBSW modification' covers the software-backdoor implant a rootkit installs to provide concealed reentry — addresses EX-0010.03's API/syscall hooking and command handler patching.
T2014.003 'OBSW modification' covers software-backdoor installation — addresses EXF-0006.01's packaging of SDR DSP-chain modifications as 'legitimate updates or configuration profiles' (software-modification side of SDR exfiltration).
T2014.003 'OBSW modification' is the direct cross-framework counterpart of PER-0002.02 Software Backdoor — both describe modifying onboard software to permit a future access via a software backdoor.
