Reаd the fоllоwing scenаriо аnd identify which type of threat it represents according to the STRIDE model. Provide a brief justification (two to four sentences) for your choice. 4.1 . An attacker modifies a firmware update file for IoT devices to include malicious code. When users install the update, the devices become part of a botnet controlled by the attacker. (3 points) 4.2. An attacker exploits a vulnerability in the Windows Sticky Keys feature by booting into a repair disk and replacing the legitimate exe file with the command prompt executable (cmd.exe). After rebooting, the attacker uses the Sticky Keys shortcut (pressing Shift five times) at the login screen to open a command prompt with SYSTEM privileges. This allows the attacker to create a backdoor administrator account. (3 points) 4.3. A user accesses sensitive financial records but later denies having done so. Due to a lack of logging or insufficient non-repudiation measures, there is no evidence to prove the action occurred. (3 points) 4.4 . An attacker intercepts network traffic and uses a stolen session token to impersonate a legitimate user, gaining access to the victim's account without knowing their credentials. (3 points)
