Weakness (CWE)
CWE-1263: Improper Physical Access Control
The product is designed with access restricted to certain information, but it does not sufficiently protect against an unauthorized actor with physical access to these areas.
More detail
The specific requirements around how robust the design of the physical protection mechanism depends on the type of product being protected. Selecting the correct physical protection mechanism and properly enforcing it through implementation and manufacturing are critical to the overall physical security of the product.
How to prevent it (3 mitigations)
-
Architecture and Design
Specific protection requirements depend strongly on contextual factors including the level of acceptable risk associated with compromise to the product's protection mechanism. Designers could incorporate anti-tampering measures that protect against or detect when the product has been tampered with.
-
Testing
The testing phase of the lifecycle should establish a method for determining whether the protection mechanism is sufficient to prevent unauthorized access.
-
Manufacturing
Ensure that all protection mechanisms are fully activated at the time of manufacturing and distribution.
