Threat ID:CCC.Core.TH01
Title:Access is Granted to Unauthorized Users
Description:
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCC.DataWar.C01 | Enforce Use of Managed Views for Data Access | Ensure that data access is provided through managed views, restricting users from accessing underlying tables directly and enforcing consistent security policies. | Data | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| CCC.DataWar.C02 | Enforce Column-Level Security Policies | Ensure that access to sensitive data columns is restricted based on user roles, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information. | Data | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| CCC.DataWar.C03 | Enforce Row-Level Security Policies | Ensure that access to data rows is restricted based on user roles or attributes, preventing unauthorized access to specific subsets of data. | Data | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| CCC.Core.C02 | Encrypt Data for Storage | Ensure that all data stored is encrypted at rest using strong encryption algorithms. | Data | 1 | 7 | 1 |
| CCC.Core.C03 | Implement Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for Access | Ensure that all sensitive activities require two or more identity factors during authentication to prevent unauthorized access. | Identity and Access Management | 1 | 6 | 4 |
| CCC.Core.C05 | Prevent Access from Untrusted Entities | Ensure that secure access controls enforce the principle of least privilege to restrict access to authorized entities from explicitly trusted sources only. | Identity and Access Management | 1 | 8 | 6 |
| CCC.Core.C04 | Log All Access and Changes | Ensure that all access attempts are logged to maintain a detailed audit trail for security and compliance purposes. | Logging & Monitoring | 1 | 5 | 3 |
