==== Modification of application data
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications may rely on data that cannot be distributed with the application
|
||
|
|
code. This may be due to the size of the data, or because the data is regularly
|
||
|
|
updated. This data is downloaded by the application as it is needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If an attacker can gain access to an authentication secret, they may be able to
|
||
|
|
alter or delete this application data. This may cause parts of the application
|
||
|
|
to misbehave or stop working. Maliciously altered data could also contain
|
||
|
|
undesirable content which results in reputational damage.
