CWE-1299: CWE-1299: Missing Protection Mechanism for Alternate Hardware Interface is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. Description Extended Description
If exploited, CWE-1299 (CWE-1299: Missing Protection Mechanism for Alternate Hardware Interface) it can compromise Modify Memory, Read Memory, DoS: Resource Consumption (Other), Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands, Gain Privileges or Assume Identity and Alter Execution Logic, leading to outcomes such as Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability and Access Control Likelihood: High.
Recommended mitigations for CWE-1299 include: Protect assets from accesses against all potential interfaces and alternate paths. Effectiveness: Defense in Depth Protect assets from accesses against all potential interfaces and alternate paths. Effectiveness: Defense in Depth Protect assets from accesses against all potential interfaces and alternate paths. Effectiveness: Defense in Depth
CWE-1299 commonly affects Languages. Note that weaknesses are often language-agnostic patterns, so secure coding practices apply broadly.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1299 describes a category of software weakness — the underlying flaw type. A CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifies a specific, real-world vulnerability in a particular product. In short, a CWE is the kind of mistake, and a CVE is an instance of that mistake being found in software.
