Interconnected spacecrafts

Parent: T2039

Description

An attacker cam leverage the interconnection to another spacecraft to compromise it in to order to, in the end, compromise the target

Mapped SPARTA techniques

6 techniques

  • T2039.003 'Interconnected spacecrafts' explicitly describes leveraging interconnections between spacecraft to compromise targets — direct match to IA-0003's compromise-via-neighbor crosslink propagation.

  • IA-0005.02Docked Vehicle / OSAMST0003
    addresses
    moderate

    T2039.003 'Interconnected spacecrafts' covers compromise via spacecraft-to-spacecraft interconnection — applicable to IA-0005.02 Docked Vehicle/OSAM where docking establishes a high-trust mechanical/electrical interface.

  • T2039.003 'Interconnected spacecrafts' covers leveraging interconnections between spacecraft to compromise targets — direct match to LM-0003's hop-by-hop spread through mesh/hub-and-spoke constellation crosslinks.

  • T2039.003 'Interconnected spacecrafts' covers compromise via spacecraft-to-spacecraft interconnection — addresses LM-0004's docking/berthing/attach-event lateral movement through high-trust visiting-vehicle interfaces.

  • LM-0006Launch Vehicle InterfaceST0007
    addresses
    moderate

    T2039.003 'Interconnected spacecrafts' covers compromise propagation through spacecraft interconnections — addresses LM-0006's launch-vehicle/payload coupling via umbilicals and shared EGSE during integration and ascent. SPACE-SHIELD has no launch-vehicle-interface-specific lateral-movement technique.

  • LM-0006.01Rideshare PayloadST0007
    addresses
    moderate

    T2039.003 covers compromise via spacecraft interconnections — addresses LM-0006.01's rideshare cross-payload influence via shared deployers, buses, and recorders before separation.
