Mapped Threats
| ID | Title | Description | External Mappings | Capability Mappings | Control Mappings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCC.Core.TH12 | Resource Constraints are Exhausted | Exceeding the resource constraints through excessive consumption, resource-intensive operations, or lowering of rate-limit thresholds can impact the availability of elements such as memory, CPU, or storage. This may disrupt availability of the service or child resources by denying the associated functionality to users. If the impacted system is not designed to expect such a failure, the effect could also cascade to other services and resources. | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CCC.LB.TH01 | Unrestricted Request Traffic Overwhelms Downstream Services | Absence of filtering or rate limiting permits malicious traffic to overload downstream services and facilitates brute-force activity. | 1 | 2 | 0 |
