So I’m dipping my toe in Cyber Security and I came across the confused deputy problem. Anyone care to break it down, please?
In: 1
it’s using some elses authority…
example if i want to beat-up a neighbor i tell a cop that he threatened me or something, cop beats up neighbor.
in computing it basically a hostile application hijacking an administration or systems application or just using those types of high privilege apps to do something to help, authorize or hide the hostile apps behavior.
this is the most common example of malware/spyware
