Backdoor
A concealed mechanism implanted in a system or software that allows an attacker to bypass normal authentication and persistently obtain access or control privileges.
Timeline (last 90 days)
This attack combines backdoor and remote access trojan capabilities: the backdoor maintains persistent access, while the RAT provides remote control, command execution and data exfiltration functions.
A vulnerability is an unintentional defect in design or implementation, while a backdoor is a deliberately implanted access channel; the former can be fixed with a patch, while the latter means the collapse of the trust foundation.
A software backdoor typically refers to a covert access channel planted by a developer or third party in a program that bypasses normal authentication or authorization mechanisms.
The standard for determining whether a plugin feature constitutes a backdoor depends on whether it is transparent, whether user consent has been obtained, and whether it can be disabled.
