Stored Data Manipulation
Parent: T2054
Description
An attacker can alter or corrupt stored data within a system, such as mission control databases, payload data storage, or onboard systems. Manipulating stored data can lead to incorrect decision-making, confusion, or operational errors, especially if the data is used for mission-critical analysis or operations. Preventive measures include employing encryption, access control, and integrity-checking mechanisms to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the stored data.

T2054.001 'Stored Data Manipulation' explicitly covers altering stored data including 'mission control databases' and 'onboard systems' — direct match to DE-0003's manipulation of housekeeping/control values (counters, mode flags, crypto-mode indicators) that operators trust.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.01's zeroing/freezing/forging of the Vehicle Command Counter telemetry field.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.02's suppression/clearing of the Rejected Command Counter and reason-code tampering.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.03's toggling of receiver enable states and stored configuration that governs command-receiver activation.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.04's targeting of receiver AGC/RSS configuration values to suppress command processing.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.05's freezing/clearing of receiver lock flags and counters and threshold tampering.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.06's editing of telemetry mode parameters (rates, filters, virtual-channel selections, playback queues).
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.07's biasing of mode indicators and status words so ground displays show expected settings while the link operates under attacker-chosen parameters.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses DE-0003.11's modification of WDT parameters (timeout durations, windowed-WDT bounds, reset actions) to shape what evidence survives.
T2054.001 covers stored-data corruption — addresses DE-0003.12's poisoning of training corpora used by onboard anomaly-detection ML models (data-poisoning is data alteration). SPACE-SHIELD has no AI/ML-specific evasion technique.

T2054.001 covers stored-data corruption — addresses wiper malware's destructive overwrites of mass-memory volumes, executable images, checksums, and undo logs in EX-0010.02.
T2054.001 covers stored-data manipulation — addresses the persistent-register subset of EX-0012.01 (configuration registers held in non-volatile storage).
T2054.001 'Stored Data Manipulation' covers altering stored configuration data — addresses EX-0012.02's rewriting of internal routing tables, message-ID-to-subscriber maps, and bridge address translations.
