CAPEC

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC) is a MITRE-maintained catalog of the attack patterns adversaries use to exploit weaknesses - for example CAPEC-66 (SQL Injection). CAPEC describes how weaknesses (CWEs) are attacked, bridging weakness taxonomy and adversary behavior.

Key points

  • Catalog of how weaknesses are exploited.
  • Bridges CWE (weaknesses) and ATT&CK (adversary behavior).
  • Referenced in vulnerability pages here.
