1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or privilege escalation depending on the memory layout and protections in place. With a CVSS score of 6.5 (MEDIUM), this represents a moderate risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker sends an oversized input to a vulnerable function, overwriting the return address on the stack to redirect execution to attacker-controlled shellcode. |

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
