IDTitleDescription
CCC.SecMgmt.TH02Secret Values are Replaced by Unauthorized EntitiesWrite permission on a secret may be granted more broadly than read permission, or may be obtained through a compromised identity, allowing a new version to be stored with a value chosen by the writer. External systems that consume the secret then authenticate with the substituted credential or connect to an endpoint named in it, redirecting data to an unintended destination or failing to authenticate. The integrity of the credential and the availability of the systems that depend on it are affected.
