MITRE ATT&CK v19.2 · Enterprise
MITRE ATT&CKA public catalogue of the techniques attackers use, maintained by MITRE. Patchfirst uses it to describe what attackers do with a vulnerability. techniques linked to CVEs
TacticThe attacker’s goal at a stage of an attack in MITRE ATT&CK, such as Initial Access or Persistence. Each technique belongs to one or more tactics. are columns in kill-chain order. Each cell is a TechniqueOne specific attacker behaviour in MITRE ATT&CK, such as T1190 “Exploit Public-Facing Application”. IDs with a dot, like T1059.004, are sub-techniques.; brighter cells have more linked CVEs. The red underline shows the share of those CVEs in CISA KEVThe US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s list of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities. A CVE is added when CISA has evidence that attackers are using it.. 178 of 697 techniques have at least one link.
