Native Functionality Abuse
Description
| Vector | Illustrative Application |
|---|---|
| Collect | If the objective is Collect, an adversary could invoke native diagnostic, memory-dump, sensing, or data-export functionality to obtain information outside authorized mission operations. |
| Pivot | If the objective is Pivot, an adversary could use native crosslink, relay, or routing functionality to route activity through the spacecraft toward another connected asset or trust domain. |
| Subvert | TIf the objective is Subvert, an adversary could deliberately trigger legitimate fault-response or diagnostic functions to disrupt mission operations and divert defenders from other adversary activity. |
| Seize | If the objective is Seize, an adversary could use native command and mission-tasking functionality to assume control of a payload or spacecraft capability and repurpose it for unauthorized operations. |
| Disable | If the objective is Disable, an adversary could use legitimate pointing functionality to expose a mission-critical sensor to the Sun beyond acceptable limits, leaving the spacecraft unable to conduct its intended mission or an essential mission function. |

No mappings have been made here yet. That is a statement about this corpus, not about the law: it means curation has not reached this entity, not that nothing applies to it.
No ruling has been recorded either way.

Replace YYYY-MM-DD with the date you read the page; the corpus is curated continuously, so mappings can change between readings. To cite one mapping rather than this page, append its anchor to the URL — every mapping row has an id of the form technique--collection--target, the same on every page that lists it. See how to cite.
