Related Capabilities
| ID | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CCC.Vector.CP04 | Metadata Filtering | Supports structured filtering on metadata fields alongside vector similarity search queries. |
| CCC.Vector.CP10 | Multi-modal Vector Support | Supports storing and searching across vectors derived from multiple modalities (e.g., text, image, audio). |
| CCC.Core.CP06 | Access Control | The service automatically enforces user configurations to restrict or allow access to a specific component or a child resource based on factors such as user identities, roles, groups, or attributes. |
| CCC.Core.CP29 | Active Ingestion | While running, the service itself can fetch or reach out to some other service or external source to get data, inputs or commands for the service to process or operate on. |
Related Threats
| ID | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CCC.Vector.TH03 | Cross-modal or Metadata Leakage | Attackers may infer sensitive information through metadata filters or by correlating embeddings across modalities (e.g., voice and face), bypassing surface-level access controls. |
| CCC.Core.TH01 | Access is Granted to Unauthorized Users | Logic designed to give different permissions to different entities may be misconfigured or manipulated, allowing unauthorized entities to access restricted parts of the service, its data, or its child resources. This could result in a loss of data confidentiality or tolerance of unauthorized actions which impact the integrity and availability of resources and data. |
Assessment Requirements
| ID | Text | Applicability |
|---|---|---|
| CCC.Vector.CN03.AR01 | When a metadata filter is applied to a query, the service MUST verify the requester is authorized to access that field. | tlp-amber, tlp-red |
